AP�IT7— Location: The Planned Community of "Newport Place" bounded by MacArthur Boule- vard, Bristol Street, and Birch St. Zone: P -C Applicant: Emkay Development Co., Newport Beac Owner: Messenger Hotels, Inc. and the Newport Project, Newport Beach Assistant Community Development Director Hewicker advised that the information on the Airporter Inn and the Newporter Inn was available and reviewed the request with the Commission which was an amend- ment to the P -C text relative to parking in order to make the previously approved use permit opera- tive. A question was raised concerning the previous- ly approved Use Permit and why the subject Amend- ment had not preceded the'Use Permit. The staff explained that if a parking formula could not be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission first, then there would not be a need to amend the existing parking requirement with the follow -up amendment. Planning Commission questioned the concept of demonstrated formula and Community Development Director Hogan reviewed same with the Commission. Page 6. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH (+ m i Z A A A i re,i T Marrh 21- 1974 MINUTES There was much discussion on the subject of "demonstrated formula" for parking and the wording to be used in the P -C text regarding parking for hotels and motels. Senior Planner Foley appeared before the Planning Commission and explained the reason for the recommended wording was that studies indicated neither the City's requirements nor the P -C require - ments on parking for restaurants and hotel usage accurately reflected the actual demand. Community Development Director Hogan commented further on the combined parking needs for hotels, studies made to determine the connection and joint usage of the rooms, and the role of the staff to evaluate an application to make sure that parking needs are met in order to satisfy the Planning Commission. Since each hotel operates in a different manner, the staff felt that each hotel should demonstrate to the Commission the kind of operation and specific needs. It was also noted • that unless the P -C text was amended to allow for a reduction in parking through either the use permit or any other procedure, the previously approved use permit would not take effect. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. The information as noted at the bottom of the staff report relative to parking requirements for the Sheraton, Airporter, Newporter and Marriot Hotels was presented to the Commission and reviewed by Senior Planner Foley. Planning Commission discuss- ed the figures at length and indicated disagreement and dissatisfaction with the consultant's data on the Sheraton Hotel. Larry Sommers, Emkay Development Company, appeared before the Planning Commission and concurred with the staff report. He stated it was his understand- ing that the amendment to the P -C text was to comply with a condition of approval placed on the use permit and if it was the desire of the Commis- sion to further review the parking figures, a continuance was requested as they were not prepare • to discuss the matter at present. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed. Page 7.
