CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH TO: Planning Commission FRO": Planning Department SUBJECT: Erce.tion Permit No. 24 (Discussion) Request to permit the installation of four :spct(.'10lt7 wall signs in addition to the existing wall identifi- cation signs for Hughes Market, located in the West cliff Plaza Shopping Center in the C-0-11 District:. LOCATION: Parcel 1 of Parcel Map 46-43 (Restibdi.vi.sirjn 'to. 358) located at 1.150 Irvine Avenue, on t:he tiout,heasterly side of Irvine Avenue, between Wentcl.iff brive and Mariners Drive, in the Westrli.ff Pln<<� Shopping Center.. ZONE: C-0-H APPLICANT: John Howcnstine, Inc., Costa Mesa OWNER: The Irvine Company, Newport Beach Application This i:; a request to permit the installation of four sgecial.ty wall signs in addition to two wall identification signs for Hughes. Market, located in the west:cli.ff Plaza Shopping Center, thus resulting in a total of six wall signs on the building. An exception permit is required .inasmuch as Section 20.06.070 L, of the Municipal. Code limits the number of wall signs on a building to a maximum of three. Excep- tion permit procedures are set forth in Section 20.06.090 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Environmental Sianif.icance The Proposed 'Agns have been reviewed and it has been deterrsined that they are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 11 (Accessory Structures). Conformance with the General Plan The Land Use Element of the General Plain designates the .site for "Retail and Serv;ce Commercial" uses. The General Plan does not address the use of signs in such areas; therefore, no conflict Appears to exist. TO: Manning Commission -2. past. of Westcliff Plaza, across Rutland Road are residential uses; tp the south, across Westcliff Drive, and to the west, across Irvinrs Avenue, is a mixture of office, retail, and other commercial Unur;. Analysis The applicant proposes to install four specialty wall signs In addi- tion to two wall identification signs on the tiugher, Market in the Wastcliff Plaza Shopping Center.. The new specialty wall rsiritrr w1.l.I, replace similar existing signs in conjunction with the general refur- bishing of the shopping center. The specialty signs will. be locatect on the southerly frontage of the Market. Each of the specialty signs will be 20 inches by 10 feet with an area of. 16.67 sq.ft. 'thus, tho total area of the four signs will, be 67± sq.ft. As shown on the, attached elevation, the area of the Hughes Market identification sign will be 55± sq.ft. Thug, the total area of wall, signs on the MarY.e t'rs nouther.ly frontage °A11. be 1.22± sq.ft. Under Section 20.06.070 B of the Municipal Code, tho total area of wall signs on any frontnqc, Shall be no more than 200 nq. f. t . Thus the total area of signrr on this frontage in que tion will be below the maximum area. permitted. A total of siv signs will be located on the building, inasmuch rrs; a. 55± sq.ft. Hughes Market .identification sign exists on tho wnsterl.y facade - of the facility fLci.ng Irvine Avenue. Applicant's Statement of Support In accordance with Section 20.06.090 A of the tiewport Beach Municipal Code, in order to grant an exception permit, the Planning Coirtmission must find that the granting of such permit is necessary to protect a substantial property right, will not be contrary to the purpose of this chapter as herein set forth, and will not be materially detri- mental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing in the neighborhood, or detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City. In response to the .above requirements, the applicant has submitted the following statements in support of his application: 1. Why will the proposal not be contrary to the purpose of the sign ordinance? "Our proposal provides tasteful identifica- tion and is within the square footage allowed." 2. What .exceptional or extraordinary circumstances are in- volved? "The Code requires one large sign for commercial identification, when four (A) smaller, more tasteful signs within the square footage allowed would lie more aeathetical- ly appealing." 3. Why is an exception permit necessary to protect a substan- tial property right? "That the Code does not permit signing that obviously contributes to the overall appearance of the shopping center." r - nlan?°!!"sg Curmmission -3.. 4. Why will the proposal not be detrimental to the neighbor - good? "Our proposal will not be detrimental to the neigh_ borhood because it will provide a more visually appealing center for all concerned." 8 ecif.ic Findings and Recommendation It is staff's opinion that the proposed sign exception to allow more than three wall signs is a reasonable request inasmu h as the total. area of the four small. specialty signs and the identification sign on the southerly facade of the building is smaller than the area which would be permitted for one large sign. Tn addition, the proposed signs will. be replacing existing specialty signs. The new signs are well designed and will be an aesthetic improvement over previous conditions on the site. Staff recommends the api. royal of Exception Permit No. 24 ,end nuggents that the Planning Commission take_ such action :3ul)jcct t<, f:he fin�iingu and conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit: "A".
