of the application as well as two petitions, one
with 14 signatures and the other with 4 signatures,
all in favor of the applicant's request.
Mr. Tully Seymour, the applicant's attorney,
addressed the Commission and explained the pro-
posed operation, stating that it would not be a
nuisance either from a parking or noise standpoint
as it was, not a night club type of operation and
live entertainment was not contemplated, and the
building would be.sound proofed. He stated that
their principal business would be at.the dinner
hour, between 6 :00 and 10:00 P.M., but they would
also serve lunch. Mr. Seymour reviewed the park-

property line had been..decreased to give abetter
view of the intersection for safety. He also
stated that the new fence along.the alley was
constructed to preserve an existing tree.. He
pointed out that -the house faced on Miramar Avenue
and that, therefore, the alley and "L" Street
would be considered side yards.
A discussion..ensued in which it was noted that
although in this particular case "L" Street had
become a side yard due to the fact that the house,
which had been constructed in 1927, faced on
Miramar Avenue, the Districting Map indicated a
10 foot setback on "L" Street.
Community.Development Director Hogan read into
the record Section 20.47.0606, the Section of the
Code.on which this application had been referred
to the Commission and pointed out that the Commis -
sion should approach this as.if it were.a new
application because it.was a complete replacement
of a structure, whether a fence or a.building,
and that each application should stand on its own
merit. He noted further that if a policy should
be established, then the Code should be amended to
.
reflect this policy.
A lengthy discussion ensued following which Commis -

Applicant: Sequoia Pacific Realco, Santa Ana
Owner: Same as applicant.
Chairman Dosh reviewed the application with the
Commission and Zoning Administrator Laycock noted
that subsequent to the filing of the application,
the property had been resurveyed and the net area
was found to be 65;109 sq.ft. rather than 63,597
sq.ft. as indicated in the staff report and
therefore the proposed 54 unit apartment complex
conformed with the required R -3 density. It was
pointed out that the variance did not request a
waiver of square footage but rather a.reduction
in parking requirements.
Mr. Alan Davison, representing Sequoia Pacific
Realco addressed the Commission and stated that
the parking being provided for the project was.in
excess of the proposed off - street parking require-
ments for residential districts which had been
recommended to the City Council for approval by
the Planning Commission on June 17, 1971. (The
City Council did not adopt.the ordinance but
referred it back to the staff for further study,)
Mr. Davison noted further that 39 of the units
were bachelor units and that the other units were,
not excessive in size, and that to further allevia
e
the traffic problem, they had dedicated 12 feet on
54th Street to the City.
Commissioner Adkinson stated that the application
to reduce the parking was based on conjecture that
the ordinance would be changed but that according
to his. recollection, when the ordinance was recom-
mended -to the City Council at the last meeting of
the "old" Commission on June 17, 1971, it.had been
his impression, and he believed the impression of
the other Commissioners at.that time, that the

ordinance was to apply only to developments of 4.
units or less.and that the larger complexes, such
as this one,.were to comply with the parking ratio
as it now exists. He further stated that if that
were not the case, he would like to review that
portion of the discussion and forward to the City
Council his own letter setting forth his views at
the time the matter would again be referred to the
Council. He also stated that he did not intend to
infer that it was the staff's error, but rather
that it was an error on the part of the Commission.
Community Development Director Hogan stated that
the Council had no quarrel with the Commission's
recommendation regarding parking standards for this
type of development, but that the main concern
expressed was regarding duplexes in the older areas
such as Balboa Island and Balboa Peninsula.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the
granting of this variance based on the parking
problem presently existing in the neighborhood:
Mrs. Lorraine Buffington of 5403 River Avenue;
Mr. Arthur Jones representing Mr. and Mrs. Stephen -
Mc Nash on the corner of River Avenue and 54th Street
and others.in the 5300 block; Mr. John Durio of
215 JoAnne Place; Mr, Paul Balalis of 5309 River
Avenue; Anne Schmitz who lives in Lido Sands.
A discussion followed in which the Commission
questioned the advisability of a- variance based on
the conjecture that an ordinance might-be adopted
and that the application should be based on the,

Mr. Eric Lassen.of the Irvine Company addressed th
Commission and stated that from the earlier dis-
cussion, it seemed there.had been some misundersta
ing as it was the impression of the Irvine Company
d-
that the Planning Commission had adopted certain
modifications to the parking requirements for
multi - family projects, as follows.:
1 space per 1 bedroom efficiency unit.
1.5 spaces for 2 bedrooms
2 spaces for 3 or more bedrooms
and that this application was submitted on that
understanding.
The Commission noted that each P -C zone was con-
sidered on its own merit and that in this particular
instance, the applicant had provided the amount
of parking considered to be adequate for the site;
the opinion was expressed that the proposed off -
street parking ordinance did not apply to this
particular P -C zone and also that developers should
be cautioned against asking the Commission to
approve changes based on an ordinance that might
never be adopted as the Commission could be
criticized for assuming that all of its recommenda-
tions would be adopted by the City Council.
Mr. Lassen stated that as it seemed there had been
some misunderstanding, perhaps the hearing should
be continued for the purpose of clarification;
Community Development Director Hogan agreed, statin
he felt the staff also needed clarification. .

Director Hewicker explained the staff's recommenda

Mr. Don Prescott represented his wife, Rae Ann
Jackson Prescott and stated that the area was im-

provements; that the property no longer had a,
reasonable function as "C -1" nor could it have in
the future as, with the parking requirement, they
could build only 750 sq.ft. of commercial area on
each lot. He stated further that they believed
with the view of the bay, the lots would lend
themselves to quality residential development.
Upon being questioned as.to whether this would be.
considered "spot zoning ", the staff pointed out
that this entire block up to the commercial area
on Main Street was utilized for residential purposes
at this time, however, staff felt they might be
premature in recommending a zone change to R -2
when one of the reports.they had written, but whit
had not been adopted by the Planning Commission,.
recommended that all of the area between Adams

Commission, as well as two letters which had been
received, one from Carroll Beek.which was.neither
for nor against and another from Ross Miller of
110 Pearl Avenue who stated he had no objection to
the application.
There was a discussion as to whether this- property
should be zoned R -2 or R -3, to-conform to the ad-
joining property; however it was the consensus of
opinion that R -2 was the normal zoning for water-
front property on Balboa Island. There was also
a discussion regarding the requested zero setback
and it was felt that a residential building should
have a residential setback. Community Development
Director Hogan pointed out that if the Commission
did not establish a front setback line that the
setback would automatically be 20 feet and the
applicant.would have to apply for a.variance.to
reduce the setback:
Mr. Vic Sherreitt, the applicant, addressed the
Commission and asked that he be allowed to maintain
the same setback as the property on either side of
the subject lot, which is zero. He stated that if
he were required to set back.5 feet he would be at -
a disadvantage and his view would be restricted.
The following persons.spoke, stating they were in
favor of the request for a.change in zone.but
against a zero front yard setback: Mr. Vaughn Clar
of 310 South.Bay Front; Mr. George Woods, who repre-
sented the Balboa Island Improvement Association
and Mr. Allan Beek, whose mother owns 3 lots.in the
same block.

Following further discussion, the Commission recom-

mended that the subject lot be rezoned to an 11-2

District and that a front yard setback of 5 feet be
x
established on the bay front and indicated on the
Districting Map.
