City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1665
Page 2 of 23
WHEREAS, the Draft EIR was distributed to agencies, interested organizations,
and individuals by the City. The distribution list is available at the City of Newport Beach
Planning Department. The Draft EIR dated November 2004 was distributed separately
due to bulk and is hereby designated as EXHIBIT EIR -1 of this Resolution as if fully set
forth herein.
WHEREAS, a 45 -day public review period for the Draft EIR was established
pursuant to State law, which commenced on November 29, 2004 and ended on January
12, 2005.
WHEREAS, all comments received during the public review period for the Draft
EIR were responded to in the Response to Comments document dated March 2005,
distributed separately due to bulk and hereby designated as EXHIBIT EIR -2 of this
Resolution as if fully set forth herein. The Planning Commission considered all
comments and responses during its review of the Environmental Impact Report.
WHEREAS, on April 21, 2005, the Planning Commission held a noticed public
hearing at which time the draft Final Environmental Impact Report, comprised of the
Draft Environmental Impact Report, a listing of persons and organizations that provided
written comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report during the public circulation
period, a compilation of those comments, and responses to those comments, was
considered. Notice of time, place and purpose of the public hearing was given in
accordance with law and testimony was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission at the hearing.
WHEREAS, the draft Final Environmental Impact Report identifies potential
significant impacts to the environment and certain mitigation measures designed to
reduce or avoid these impacts to a less than significant level.
WHEREAS, as part of the development and implementation of the Newport
Beach General Plan, the Land Use Element has been prepared which sets forth
objectives, supporting policies and limitations for development in the City of Newport
Beach and designates the general distribution and general location and extent of the
uses of land and building intensities in a number of ways, including floor area
limitations.
WHEREAS, the General Plan provides for redevelopment of older or
underutilized properties and preservation of property values through establishment of
floor area limits allowing for modest growth based on trip generation characteristics of
land uses to ensure that traffic does not exceed the level of service desired by the City.
The proposed amendment of the Land Use Element (Exhibit A) changes the
designation of a 5 -acre portion of the project site from Administrative, Professional and
Financial Commercial to Retail and Service Commercial and does not result in an
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1665
Page 3 of 23
increase in the floor area limit established for the subject site and allows for
redevelopment of the underutilized subject site and with required mitigation measures
will not generate traffic in amounts that would result in an undesirable level of service in
the circulation system as indicated in the traffic study prepared for this project.
WHEREAS, consistent with Charter Section 423, Council Policy A -18 requires
that proposed General Plan Amendments be reviewed to determine if voter approval is
required. Voter approval is not required for the subject General Plan Amendment
because it will not result in generation of more than 100 peak hour trips, will not
increase allowable building area, and does not include any dwelling units. Peak hour
trip analysis for the subject General Plan Amendment included trips generated by the
proposed project plus 80% of the increase in trips associated with a previous General
Plan Amendment in the same General Plan Statistical Area and indicated an increase of
21.26 AM peak hour trips and 31 PM peak hour trips. The project will be tracked as a
prior amendment per Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A -18.
WHEREAS, the Planned Community Development Standards Newport Place
text with amendments proposed as part of this project (Exhibit C) designates the project
site as General Commercial consistent with the proposed General Plan designation of
Retail and Service Commercial.
WHEREAS, the General Plan requires that the City maintain suitable and
adequate standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and
other development standards to ensure that commercial projects are aesthetically
pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City maintains and
implements development standards through the Zoning Ordinance which enables
adoption of Planned Community District Regulations, approval of Use Permits for
certain uses, and approval of Modification Permits. The Planned Community
Development Standards Newport Place includes permitted uses and uses permitted
subject to a Use Permit, regulations that ensure that the size and scale of the building,
the number of parking spaces provided, the building setbacks provided, the areas of
landscaped yards, and the design and placement of signs result in a project that is
aesthetically pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses consistent with
objectives of the Municipal Code.
WHEREAS, the proposed project is subject to a Use Permit consistent with the
Planned Community Development Standards Newport Place text with amendments
proposed as part of this project. The location and design of the proposed use and
facilities and the proposed conditions under which the use would be operated or
maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the district in
which the site is located; will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace,
morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the
neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements
in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City for the following reasons:
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1665
Page 4 of 23
1. All potentially significant environmental effects will either be avoided or reduced
to a less than significant level through the implementation of mitigation measures
as identified in the Final EIR for this project.
2. The proposed use and improvements are located adjacent to the rear wall of a
retail commercial center and separated from office buildings by Jamboree Road,
MacArthur Boulevard, and Dove Street such that appropriate separation of uses
and buildings is provided. The proposed facility is substantially consistent in
design, quality of materials, scale, and building volume with nearby structures.
A condition of approval of the Use Permit requires that the applicant submit a
detailed sign plan and program for review by the Planning Commission.
3. Adequate vehicular access to the site can be provided from MacArthur Boulevard
and from Dove Street as indicated in a circulation study and a weaving analysis
prepared for the proposed project. Vehicular access points are situated as to
provide safe ingress and egress to the site. Conditions of approval include street
improvements at MacArthur Boulevard and Bowsprit and the installation of on-
site directional signs to direct drivers to exit the site onto Dove Street rather than
onto MacArthur if intending to turn left from MacArthur onto eastbound Jamboree
Road as means to enhancing safe vehicular movements near the site. In
addition, the applicant is required to restrict the route used for new and used
vehicle test drives as described in the conditions of approval.
4. No noise sensitive receptors are located near the proposed facility. Potential
impacts from construction and operational noise will be reduced to less than
significant levels through FEIR Mitigation Measures M -XI.1 and M -XI 2 which limit
hours of construction and require noise barriers and through a Use Permit
condition requiring a noise study to assure that noise levels at property lines
nearest the automobile service facility and car wash are consistent with the City's
noise standards.
5. Nighttime lighting of the dealerships will be subject to FEIR Mitigation Measures
M -3A.2 through M -3A.8 relating to lighting plans, fixture selection, and operations
controls that minimize potential lighting and glare impacts.
6. The proposed project includes on -site parking in excess of that required by the
Planned Community Development Standards Newport Place. In addition, a
condition of approval of the Use Permit requires that the applicant ensure that
employees of Newport Lexus park only on the dealership site.
WHEREAS, a wine bar proposed in the new car showroom is subject to a Use
Permit and to Chapter 20.89 of the Zoning Code, "Alcoholic Beverage Outlets."
Consistent with Chapter 20.89, consideration was given to whether or not the use
serves public convenience or necessity, to the crime rate in the reporting district and
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1665
Page 5 of 23
adjacent reporting districts as compared to other areas in the City, to the number of
alcohol licenses per capita in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts as
compared to the county -wide average, to the numbers of alcohol - related calls for
service, crimes or arrest in the reporting district and in adjacent reporting districts, and
to the proximity of the alcoholic beverage outlet to residential districts, day care centers,
park and recreation facilities, places of religious assembly, and schools as indicated in
the administrative record prepared for this project. The Planning Commission
determined that the proposed wine bar would not be compatible with the sale and
servicing of automobiles proposed as the principal use on the site and the applicant
verbally agreed to withdraw this request from further consideration.
WHEREAS, a request for approval of a Modification Permit is included with this
application because the landscaped front yard adjacent to Jamboree Road is proposed
to be a minimum of 18 feet rather than 30 feet as required by the Planned Community
Development Standards Newport Place (PC Text), because eight (8), circular
automobile display pads are proposed in the landscaped yards at Jamboree Road,
MacArthur Boulevard, and Dove Street, because the front yard between the showroom
building and the Dove Street property line is proposed to be a minimum of 28 feet rather
than 30 feet as required by the PC Text, and because a 10 -foot high architectural
screening wall and tire and vehicle fluid storage areas are proposed at a minimum of 10
feet from the Dove Street property line within the 30 -foot front yard required by the PC
Text. Chapter 20.93 of the Zoning Code authorizes granting of a Modification Permit
whenever strict application of provisions of the Zoning Code, including those applicable
to landscaped yards and required building setbacks in front yards, would preclude a
reasonable use of property. Because a 60 foot -wide easement for a water line and a
storm drain bisect the proposed project site, the possible need for future repair or
replacement of these lines by the City requires that sufficient access be maintained and
that no building or structure be located across the easement. Compliance with
minimum required front yards at each of three street frontages abutting the project site
further restricts the area that may be developed with buildings. Approval of a
Modification Permit to accommodate these project components would not be
detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood, would no be detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City, and would be
consistent with the legislative intent of the Zoning Code for the following reasons:
1. The landscaped yard adjacent to Jamboree Road has a variable depth ranging
from 52' -6" to 18' from the existing right -of -way line results in landscaped yard
area significantly greater in area than that which would result from incorporation
of landscaped yard with a constant depth of 30 feet. No buildings will encroach
into this landscaped yard thereby avoiding possible inappropriate building
massing near lot lines.
2. The front yard at the automobile showroom is 28 feet at its narrowest point and
40 feet at the widest point which results in landscaped yard area significantly
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1665
Page 6 of 23
greater than that which would result from incorporation of a landscaped yard with
a constant depth of 30 feet.
3. The 10 -foot high architectural screening wall at Dove Street provides a visual
barrier between the street and the interior of the service building and screens the
tire and fluid storage areas from view from Dove Street and the 10 -foot yard
proposed shall be heavily landscaped to enhance the streetscape. A condition of
approval of the Use Permit and the Modification Permit require installation of
minimum 36 -inch box trees and minimum 5- gallon shrubs in this 10 -foot yard.
4. The proposed encroachments do not occur adjacent to any structures on another
property but at rights -of -way that provide sufficient distance between the
proposed buildings and those on other properties.
5. Increase in the sizes and numbers of plants provided at each front yard provide
adequate visual relief and separation to compensate for reduction in minimum
distances.
WHEREAS, a Traffic Study was prepared under the direction and supervision of
the City Transportation /Development Services Manager in accordance with the
requirements of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance (TPO). The study found that the
proposed project would result in a decrease in the level of service at the intersection of
Irvine Avenue and Mesa Drive from "D" to "E ". Circulation improvements at the Irvine
Avenue /Mesa Drive intersection that the applicant is required to make and /or fund, as a
condition of project approval and pursuant to a reimbursement program or otherwise,
will mitigate this decrease in level of service such that the project will neither cause nor
make worse an unsatisfactory level of service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does hereby
find that Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2004081004)
designated by reference as Exhibit EIR -1 of this Resolution has been prepared in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA
Guidelines. In addition, the Planning Commission finds that the EIR adequately
analyzes project — related impacts, potential cumulative impacts, identifies feasible
mitigation measures and discusses project alternatives, and that the Final EIR reflects
the independent judgment of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council certify the Environmental Impact Report
identified as State Clearinghouse No. 2004081004 including Errata in Exhibit EIR -2.
Section 2. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2004-
004 as in Exhibit "A" and the revised General Plan Land Use Map depicted in Exhibit
