Mr. Robert Gabriele, Assistant City Attorney, clarified
that the request for the reconsideration and
continuance is to permit the applicant the additional
time to put forth a good faith effort to comply with
the conditions which the applicant determines are
physically possible. He stated that documentation
should be submitted by the applicant for those
conditions which the applicant feels he can not
physically comply with. Planning Director Hewicker
stated that the applicant should be prepared to
consider alternate courses of action which would
satisfy the.conditions. Mr. Clabaugh concurred.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
McLaughlin, Mr. Clabaugh referred to Condition No. 10,
relating to the trash compactor, and stated that this
would be an unnecessary expense. He stated that the
applicant is utilizing an alternate procedure which has
resolved the problem, as outlined in his letter to the
Planning Department dated December 21, 1983.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the Planning
Commission will determine if the alternate procedure
relating to the trash is adequate, not the applicant.
He stated that Condition No. 10, which requires a trash
compactor, was required by the Planning Commission
because of the litter problems on the site.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the Planning
Commission Minutes dated October 6, 1983, reflect the
Planning Commission's statements that should the
applicant not be able to comply with the conditions of
approval, the Planning Commission may consider an
earlier closing time. He stated that the requested 30

applicant additional time to comply with the conditions
and withdraw the appeal to the City Council.
Commissioner Kurlander stated that the requirement of a
trash compactor for the restaurant use has been placed
on other restaurant uses within the. City. He stated
that economic reasons alone, would not be sufficient
for the Planning Commission to waive this condition.

APPLICANT: Rumney Enterprises, Inc., Irvine
OWNER: ,Same as Applicant
ENGINEER: Paul Calvo Associates, Seal Beach
The public hearing opened in connection with this item
and Mr. Warren James, representing the applicant,
appeared before the Commission. Mr. James briefly
described the proposed 14 unit residential condominium
development. He stated that they originally had
envisioned a 19 unit development at this location,
however, after meeting with various members of the
community, the plan. was redesigned with 14, units. He
stated that they have mitigated the impacts of East
Coast Highway with a sound barrier, all new
construction will be kept outside of the canyon area,
and the elevations..along the street follow a low
profile. He stated that the proposed development will
remove the existing older structures and become an
asset to the community.
Mr. James referred to Condition No. 21, which requires
the development of two affordable units, and stated
that they could provide one affordable unit which would
satisfy the City's policy. He stated that the
Affordable Housing Feasibility Analysis recommends that
no affordable unit requirement be imposed. upon the
project.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the development
of the parcel contains a number of constraints,
including the setbacks from East Coast Highway, the
setbacks from the environmental open "space, and the
compliance with providing affordable dwelling units
within the Coastal Zone. He discussed Council Policy
P -1, the Mello Bill, and stated that staff has
recommended that 108 or 2 (1.4 rounded up) affordable
units be provided in conjunction with this project.
However, he stated that when considering that the
applicant has reduced the original plan from 19 units,
which would have included a density bonus of 5
affordable units, to 14 units, and further that the
applicant has not requested a waiver of the in -lieu
park dedication fee, he stated that perhaps in this
particular application, the request for one affordable
dwelling unit may be warranted.

Commissioner Balalis stated that the developer should
be given the option of providing the affordable units
either on -site or off -site. He stated that on -site
affordable units would contain smaller square footage
because of economic constraints, whereas off -site
affordable units could contain more square footage.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Balalis, Planning Director Hewicker stated that the
Planning Commission has the authority to recommend to
the City Council that the affordable units be provided
off -site or within a reasonable distance from the
Coastal Zone. However, he stated that the City Council
has expressed their concern that the affordable units
be provided on -site.
Chairman King stated that when considering the existing
market values in Corona del Mar, it would be more
• feasible for the affordable units to be provided within
the new construction costs of the proposed development.
Mr. James stated that they would prefer to provide the
affordable unit on -site. However, he stated that as a
developer, they would welcome the opportunity to have
the flexibility of providing the affordable unit
on -site or off -site.
Chairman King stated that because the applicant has
reduced the density of the project, along with all new
construction will be kept outside of the canyon, and
there will not be a waiver of the in -lieu park
dedication fee, he stated that he could support the
provision for one affordable dwelling unit, rather than
two.
Mr. Hugh Milligan, resident of 500 Rockford Place in
Cameo Highlands, stated that his property is located
adjacent to the proposed development. He stated that
the site currently maintains 6 rental units, whereas
the proposed project will contain 14 ownership units.
He expressed his concern that this constitutes a
condominium conversion and that his residence will be

Planning Director Hewicker stated that the proposed
development will be more intense than the existing
development, which is .permitted under the City's
General Plan and zoning Code. He stated that the term,
condominium conversion, does not apply to the proposed
project because the project will be demolishing older
structures to be replaced with .a new project, as
opposed to the conversion of the existing structures.
Mr. Ted Bush, resident of 508 Seaward Road, referred to
the public notice which was sent to the surrounding
residents and stated that because the term Negative
Declaration was utilized, many of the residents felt as
though this application would be denied by the City.
He stated that there are only two entrances to Corona
Highlands and expressed his concern with the additional
traffic which will be generated by the proposed
project. He also expressed his concern with the
proposed density and size of the project.
• Ms. Valerie Porlier, resident of 512 Seaward Road,
stated that the adjacent residents were not contacted
by the developer regarding the proposed project. She
stated that she contacted Mr. Les Munson, Chairman of
the Architectural Committee for Corona Highlands, which
informed her that the proposed project was not in
conflict with the CC &R's. She requested that this item
be continued in order for the surrounding residents to
become more informed with the proposal.
Chairman King stated that the applicant has designed
the project to preserve a majority of the existing
vegetation which will attempt to obscure the proposed
structure from the adjacent neighborhood. Ms. Porlier
stated that the proposed density of the project is not
consistent with the adjacent residential neighborhood.
She further stated that regardless of the subterranean
parking, the proposed project will generate parking and
traffic problems for the area.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the property is
currently zoned R -3 -B which would allow the applicant
to develop a project consisting of 19 units, which
would include a density bonus of 5 affordable units,
with up to 47,655 square feet of gross floor area,
excluding garages. He stated that as a compromise, the
• I ( I I I ! applicant is proposing a 14 unit residential project
Iconsisting of 19,187 square feet of gross floor area,
excluding garages. Planning Director Hewicker

Mr. Les Munson, Chairman of the Architectural Committee
for Corona Highlands. He stated that Mr. Munson

their input. He stated that the Architectural
Committee did not issue a letter supporting or opposing
the proposed project. He further stated that they
discussed the proposed plan with the adjacent neighbor,
Mr. Harold Zook, who offered input into the proposal
and is now in support of the revised proposal. He
stated that the project will not exceed the height

discussed the buildable acreage and dwelling unit
density criteria as established in the Newport Beach
General Plan.
Mr. Milligan stated that he is a member of the Cameo

community associations work together when.projects such
as this are proposed.

Commission. Mr. Zook referred to Page 6 of the staff
report and stated that his proposed concept of grading

stated that the proposal also utilizes subterranean
parking and will not exceed the height limitation.
Therefore, he stated that he is in support of the
proposed project.
Mr. Reginald Jones, resident of 4316 Shorecrest Lane,
appeared before the Commission and stated that he is in
favor of the proposed project. He stated that he is a
member of the Corolido Community Association which

aware of any opposition to the proposed plan by any of
the members.
Mr. James reiterated that Mr. Munson, Chairman of the
Architectural Committee for Corona Highlands, presented
the proposed plan to the homeowners association.
However, he stated that he would concur with a
continuance in order to receive additional input from
the surrounding residences. Commissioner McLaughlin
suggested that Mr. Jerry Esterbrook, President of
Corona Highlands Property Owners Association, be
contacted by the applicant to present the proposed
plan.
Commissioner McLaughlin stated that in her opinion, the
requirement for 1.4 affordable units should be rounded
to 1 unit rather than 2 units, as a policy. She
further expressed her concern that additional wording
should be included in the public notice which would
better inform the general public of the term, Negative
Declaration.

Variance No. 1108 (Public Hearing)
Request to permit alterations to an existing second
dwelling unit located on an R -2 lot which is non-
conforming relative to required off- street parking.
The proposed alterations include the conversion of a
substandard single car garage into additional living
area and an expanded bathroom.
LOCATION: Lot 16, Block 38, River Section, located
at 130 39th Street, on the southeasterly
corner of West Balboa Boulevard and 39th
Street, in West Newport.
ZONE: R -2
APPLICANTS: Howard Chace and Victor Ordaz,
Newport Beach
• OWNERS: Same as applicants
The public hearing opened in connection with this item
and Mr. Howard Chace, the applicant, appeared before
the Commission. Mr. Chace referred to the staff
report, the September 14, 1983, letter from Mr.
Schuller, the City's Building Director, and stated that
he disagrees with many of the statements made in this
letter. He described the improvements which have been
made to the property and stated that because the
improvements were not structural, he was not aware of
the permits which were necessary.
Mr. Chace stated that the use of the garage for parking
purposes would not be in the best interest of the
public welfare because of the amount of traffic which
travels on West Balboa Boulevard. Therefore, he stated
that a variance should be granted. He stated that
there are currently two compact car spaces to the
southeast of the building adjacent to the alley which
are adequate for his use.
I I I I I I I Chairman King suggested that the garage entrance be
re- routed to the abutting alley. Mr. Chace stated that
re- routing the entrance of the garage would destroy the
• I I I I liveability of the unit and would not be economically
feasible.

Commissioner Goff stated that according to the
Residential Building Report attached to the staff
report, there was one existing parking space as of
July, 1978. He expressed his concern that the
applicant has deleted this parking space and replaced
it with additional living area. Mr. Chace stated that
he does not utilize the garage for parking purposes
because of its potential hazard to the public safety.
Commissioner Balalis reminded Mr. Chace that when he
purchased the property, according to the Residential
Building Report, there was a useable garage space.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that staff is
recommending that at least one on -site parking space be
provided to replace the former garage space.
I I I I I I I I Mr. Donald Webb, City Engineer, stated that the Public
Works Department is recommending that no access to a
• garage or parking space be taken from West Balboa
Boulevard. He stated that if parking access can not be
worked out from the alley, he suggested that the health
and safety of the motoring public will be best served
by not requiring parking for the subject use.
Commissioner Balalis suggested that the garage be
converted to a carport, so as to allow for vehicular
access from the alley. Mr. Chace stated that he would
have to substantially alter the building to accomplish
this and would result in a narrow living area which
would not be feasible.
Commissioner Goff suggested that the wall adjacent to
the 16 foot area between the existing buildings on the
property be moved and the interior walls be adjusted to
accommodate the relocation of the garage parking space,
with vehicular access from the alley. Mr. Chace stated
that this would involve the relocation of a bearing
wall which would be financially prohibitive.
Mr. Chace stated that he currently resides at the unit
and has no intentions of investing the amounts of
monies which it would take to comply with the previous
suggestions. Mr. Chace stated that he has only made
minor improvements to the building and does not intend
• V I I I upon making structural improvements.

Mr. Chace. stated that if the Planning Commission will
not let him utilize the two existing compact parking
spaces southeast of the building, he would request that
Exhibit "B" be approved.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Chace stated that he is agreeable in dedicating to
the City the 10 foot corner cutoff at the corner of
39th Street and West Balboa Boulevard. Mr. Webb stated
that this will involve approximately 21 square feet
which will be utilized for the widening of West Balboa
Boulevard.
Commissioner Goff asked if any future redevelopment of
the property could be conditioned under the variance
request. Planning Director Hewicker suggested that
the Planning Commission could impose a condition
• stating that the variance is only granted so long as
there is no further redevelopment or modifications to
the property up to a specific dollar amount. He stated
that in this way, should redevelopment or modifications
to the property occur, the parking issue would have to
be readdressed.
Commissioner Goff expressed his concern that if the
Planning Commission would approve Exhibit "B ", which
allows for a waiver of all three parking spaces, a
precedent would be set and many residents along West
Balboa Boulevard would be requesting a similar
waiver.
Motion X Motion was made for approval of Variance No. 1108,
subject to the findings and conditions of Exhibit "A ",
with the provision that the development shall be in
substantial conformance with Alternative Plan No. 1,
(i.e. a standard sized one car garage with access off
the alley) .
J I I j I Commissioner Balalis stated that regardless of the
filling of the driveway approach, the Public Works

APPLICANT: What's Cooking Restaurant, Newport Beach
TIONALLY
OWNER: The Irvine Company, Newport Beach
The public hearing opened in connection with this item
and Mr. Jorge Luhan, representing the applicant,
appeared before the Commission and requested approval
of the amended use permit.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that staff is of the
opinion that the parking ratio is adequate for the
restaurant, inasmuch as no dancing or live
entertainment is proposed, and the restaurant attracts
customers from nearby residential areas, or persons who
are already at the shopping center. Further, he stated
that many of the businesses 'in the shopping center are
closed during the evening hours, thereby providing
additional parking during the evening.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that an additional
condition could be imposed which would state, "That
the incidental outdoor dining and drinking area shall
be permitted under the existing cover of the roof and
. I I I I I I in front of the restaurant, not to exceed seating for
24 persons."
