A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN
AMENDMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAZA PLANNED COMMUNITY
DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL (PA2004 -073)

of building area, to be permitted on Building Sites Nos. 2, 3, 8, 9, 11 and 22, subject to
the limitations included in the revised District Regulations, where the current regulations
limit medical office uses to Building Site Nos. 8, 9, 11 and 22 only; would clarify the
'Permitted Uses" section of the Regulations by indicating the maximum gross square
footage permitted for medical office uses; and would amend the Parking regulations
section by requiring off - street parking to provided according net floor area instead of
gross floor area for medical office uses.
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission initiated the proposed amendments on
April 8, 2004.
WHEREAS, A public hearing was held on May 20, 2004 in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time,
place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning
Commission at this meeting.
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. The proposed amendments to the Corporate Plaza Planned Community
District Regulations are consistent with the intent of the Planned
Community District Regulations.
2. The proposed amendments to the Corporate Plaza Planned Community
District Regulations are consistent with the General Plan and will not be
detrimental to the City of Newport Beach.
3. The Corporate Plaza Planned Community District Regulations are not a
model of organization since land use regulations are located within
different sections of the document creating difficulties in administration.
4. The present organization of the document has led to miss - communications
between property owners, the City and the public that has led to the miss -
application of the regulations where medical office uses are operating where
they are not permitted.
5. An organizational change in the regulations is necessary to reduce the
likelihood of future errors.
