Zone: C -1 -H Applicant: Shelter Industries, Inc., Newport Bea h Owner: Byron Palmer, Los Angeles Chairman Dosh reviewed the application.with the Commission and Zoning Administrator Laycock noted that the reason for Condition No. 3.in the staff recommendations was that the staff felt.the open space on the westerly 20 feet of the waterfront setback was necessary because of the existing apartment complex adjacent to the subject property, Mr. Terry Crowther of Shelter Industries was present and addressed the Commission. He stated that the elimination of the balconies on the end unit would not be desirable since the unit would be set back so that the other three units would block the view of the bay. He felt this question could be handled in the C.C:& R:s as this would be a condominium project. A discussion ensued during which the Commission stated it felt that this was a better use of the property than had previously been approved, but that the projection of the balcony would be unfair to the adjoining property owners. Upon being : questioned as to whether this could be handled in the C.C.& R.'s, the Assistant City Attorney stated he believed it would be possible, but it would have to be approved by the City. x Following further discussion, the application was x approved, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the side yard setback along the westerly property line be at least three feet. 2. That the rear yard setback along Via Lido Page 2.

That improvements and landscaping near the drive approach adjacent to Via Lido be reviewed and approved by the Traffic Engineer for sight clearance requirements. 6.

COMMISSI9NERS 9 N M� N£ a S ACALL CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH February 3, 1972 MINUTES INDEX Applicant: Howard Chevrolet Inc. (Howard G. Richardson), Newport Beach Owner: Emkay Development Co.,.Newport Beach Chairman Dosh reviewed with the Commission the proposed application as well as the conditions of approval recommended by the staff. Mr. Howard G. Richardson addressed the Commission and stated that if he were able to furnish the facilities, he would be able to obtain the Chevrolet Franchise for the City of Newport Beach, and that he had been.working to establish this dealership for 2 1/2 years. He stated further that the limit on attention - attracting devices, as well as the limit on signing, suggested by the staff, was.too restrictive for the type of business he would be conducting. Mr. David Hyun, the architect, also addressed the Commission and displayed a rendering of the pro- • posed facility. The Commission expressed concern over the fact that the signs the applicant was requesting did not comply with either the P -C standards or the existing sign ordinance and felt that a letter should be requested of the Emkay Development Company concurring with this departure from the P -C Stand- ards. Zoning Administrator Laycock stated he had been in contact with Mr. Kraft, a representative of the Emkay Development Company, and he felt that the signs recommended by the staff would be in keeping with the commercial area. Assistant Community Development Director Hewicker noted that at the time the P -C Standards were being considered and the idea of an automobile center was introduced, there was not sufficient time to establish definite standards, therefore the requirement of a use permit was placed in the standards for this particular type of use. Following discussion, Commissioner Agee made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Adkinson, to con- ditionally approve the use permit. Further dis- cussion followed and Commissioner Adkinson withdrew his second in order that Commissioner Agee might • restate his motion. The second motion made by Commissioner agee failed for lack of a second.
