A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION AND APPROVING USE PERMIT NO. 2003 -025,
NEWPORT PARCEL MAP NO. 2003 -026 (TENTATIVE PARCEL TRACT
MAP. NO. 2003 -203) AND TRAFFIC STUDY NO. 2003 -004 FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20322 ACACIA STREET and 20341 & 20351
BIRCH STREET (PA2003 -164).
The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does hereby find, resolve and
order as follows:
Section 1. An application was filed by Birch Bayview II, LP with respect to
property located at 20322 Acacia Street and 20341 & 20351 Birch Street (PA2003 -164)
and legally described as Lots 67, 96, and the southwesterly half of Lot 68 of Tract 706
(Harbor View Addition to Santa Ana Heights). The applicant seeks approval of a Use
Permit, Tentative Parcel Map and Traffic Study for the construction of three professional
office buildings on three lots that encompasses approximately 2.2 acres in the Santa
Ana Heights area.
Section 2., A public hearing was held October 23, 2003, 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 meeting was given. Evidence, both written and
oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the meeting.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
Consistency with the General Plan
1. The Land Use Element (LUE) designates the project site for Administrative,
Professional, Financial Commercial (APF) uses. The Administrative, Professional,
Financial Commercial has a 0.5 floor area ratio limit within the Santa Ana Heights.
Each of the three (3) proposed lots are to be developed with office buildings,
therefore complying with the floor area ratio limit with an average building FAR of
0.47. Therefore, the project is consistent with the LUE.
Consistency with the Title 20 (Zoning)
1. The entire 46,281 square feet development will provide 166 standard parking stalls
and 6 handicap stalls for a total of 172 stalls and consequently meets the parking
requirements established in Chapter 20.44.
2. The project as conditioned provides for a dedication from the applicant for a right -of-
way dedication of five feet for the widening of Acacia Street; and therefore is
consistent with the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan Modified Street Standards
established in Chapter 20.44.
Resolution No.
Page 2 of 15
3. As proposed, the project meets all development standards contained in the Santa
Ana Specific Plan including setbacks, landscape, building height, floor area and site
coverage in Section 20.44.050 and design guidelines.
4. Professional and administrative offices are permitted in the business park district of
the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan subject to the approval of a use permit. The
proposed location of the office use and the conditions under which it would be
operated and maintained are consistent with the General Plan and the purpose and
intent of the Business Park District in the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan and
consequently compliant with the findings for a Use Permit.
5. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the welfare of persons residing or
working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of the business park. The proposed
project will be of similar nature to the surrounding business park uses, thereby
complimentary to the surrounding neighborhood as envisioned in the Santa Ana
Heights Specific Plan. There are no residential properties adjacent to the subject
property. The outlying residential properties are greater than 45 feet in distance from
the proposed development. Any impact created from the proposed development will
not directly affect the residential properties. No other sensitive land uses are in the
immediate vicinity.
Vesting Parcel Map for 20322 Acacia Street and 20341 & 20351 Birch Street
1. The subdivision as conditioned is consistent with the General Plan. Additionally, the
proposed subdivision is consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code and
Subdivision Map Act and conditions of approval have been included to ensure
compliance.
2. The project site is flat, developed with urban uses with no environmental resources. No
other physical constraints to construction are known. Applicable planning policies and
codes within the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan permit professional office buildings to
have a 0.5 floor area ratio limit and the proposed project is below this limit. The
necessary infrastructure already exists for this project. Due to these factors, the site is
suitable for the type and density of development proposed.
3. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project. It concludes that
the project will have a less than significant impact to the environment. The site is
developed in a highly urbanized area and no significant natural resources exist in the
area of the project site except for Newport Bay. The project includes a system of
filtering storm runoff on site before it is discharged to the storm water system. The
project also includes improvements to the local storm water system where a fossil type
filter will be installed to treat the first or low flow discharge prior to discharge to Newport
Bay. These features will mitigate and improve water quality thereby avoiding impacts to
fish or wildlife.
Resolution No.
Page 3 of 15
4. The project consists of three (3) professional office buildings permitted by local
ordinance and the General Plan. No evidence is known to exist that would indicate that
the proposed project will generate any serious public health problems.
5. One (1) easement will be provided through the adjacent lot as secondary access to the
subject property for ingress/egress and emergency access. Public utility easements for
utility connections that serve the project site are present and will be modified, as
necessary to serve the new project. Therefore the proposed subdivision will not impact
public easements. Public improvements may be required of a developer per Section 19
of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 of the Subdivision Map Act and public
improvements may be required of a developer per Section 20.91.040 of the Municipal
Code.
6. The design of the proposed project provides each lot with direct southern exposure to
the maximum extent feasible; therefore, solar access and passive energy conservation
goals are met.
7. Waste discharge into the existing sewer will be consistent with commercial use due to
the design and limitations of the use of the property established by existing zoning
regulations. It is not anticipated that waste discharge into the sewer from these uses
would violate any Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements or
Orange County Sanitation District standards.
Consistency with Title 15 (Traffic Phasing Ordinance)
1. A traffic study, entitled Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO) Study for Birch Bayview Plaza
II, Newport Beach, California (Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers, September 4,
2003), was prepared for the project in compliance with Chapter 15.40 of the Municipal
Code (Traffic Phasing Ordinance).
2. The traffic study indicated that the project will contribute less than a 1% increase in
traffic on ten of the eleven intersections examined.
3. Utilizing the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) analysis specified by the Traffic
Phasing Ordinance, the traffic study determined that the eleventh intersection, Irvine
and North Bristol, project traffic will increase the volume on the northbound approach
during the PM peak hour by more than 1 %. The intersection is presently operating at a
level of service of "E" and with the project traffic increase, there will be less than a 0.01
increase in the ICU; therefore no mitigation is required for this project.
4. Based on the weight of the evidence in the administrative record, including the traffic
study and the expectation that construction of the project will be completed within 60
months of project approval; the project will neither cause nor make worse an
unsatisfactory level of traffic service at the impacted intersection of Irvine and Bristol.
Resolution No.

Mitigated Negative Declaration
1. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) have been prepared in
compliance with the Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines,
and City Council Policy K -3. The Draft MND was circulated for public comment
between September 26, 2003 and October 17, 2003. City of Newport Beach received
one (1) comment letter regarding the MND from The Irvine Ranch Water District
notifying the applicant of the required water calculations upon plan check submittal.
2. The contents of the environmental document have been considered in the various
decisions on this project. On the basis of the entire environmental review record, the
proposed project will have a less than significant impact upon the environment and
there are no known substantial adverse affects on human beings that would be
caused. Additionally, there are no long -term environmental goals that would be
compromised by the project nor cumulative impacts are anticipated in connection with
the project. The mitigation measures identified are feasible and reduce potential
environmental impacts to a less than significant level. The mitigation measures are
applied to the project and are incorporated as conditions of approval.
Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Approves Use Permit No. 2003-
025, Newport Vesting Parcel Map No. 2003 -026 (Tentative Parcel Map. No. 2003 -203)
and Traffic Study No. 2003 -004 subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A" attached.
Section 5. This action shall become final and effective fourteen (14) days after
the adoption of this Resolution unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk
or this action is call for review by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Title
20, Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

Note to Plan Check:
It has since been determined that the protect is not applicable to Condition of Approval
#9. Under Section 77.15(a) of the FAA "Notice of Proposed Construction" information
sheet, the proposed project will be shielded by existing structures of a permanent and
substantial character of equal or greater height and will be located in the congested
areas of the city, where it is evident beyond all reasonable doubt that the structure
shielded will not adversely affect safety of air navigation. Hence, the Condition is not
relevant to the proposed project.
