Planning Director Hewicker referred to the Municipal
Code, Section 20.51.020 F, relating to Planned
Community District regulations, which requires that an
unimproved parcel of land have a minimum .size of 25
acres. He suggested that inasmuch as this particular
parcel contains less than 25 acres, it would be
necessary for the Planning Commission to waive the 25
acre limitation.
Planning Director Hewicker then referred to various
other sections of the Municipal Code, relating to
Planned Community District regulations, and suggested
that the map, as furnished, be altered to exclude the
residual parcel after the realignment of Superior
Avenue.
Planning Director Hewicker referred to Page 5 of the
staff report, the Statistical Analysis section, and
• stated that the figure of 13 gross acres. should be
utilized, rather than 17 gross acres.
Planning Director Hewicker then referred to Page 7 of
the staff report, the General Notes section, and stated
that Item No. 11 should be deleted.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the attorney for
the CalTrans parcel could not be in attendance for
tonight's meeting. However, he stated that the
attorney had submitted two copies of an agreement to be
executed by the City which .would allow the City the
right of entry on the subject property for the

In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the agreement
which allows for the right of entry was outlined in the
Resolution adopted by the Planning Commission.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that Item No. 11 is
being deleted because the right of entry agreement has
been provided under the General Plan Amendment, rather

Mr. Chris Hansen, resident of 22 Encore Court, appeared
before the Commission.. Mr. Hansen expressed his
concern with the density increase. Planning Director
Hewicker explained the annexation background of this
area. He stated that prior to annexation in 1980, the
County would have permitted a development intensity of
24 dwelling units per acre. He stated that prior to
annexation, the City was required to amend its General
Plan and the density of 20 dwelling units was selected
based upon the following considerations: it was very
close to the intensity of development which was
permitted under the County; it was acceptable to the
owners of the land within the County Triangle; and, the
density figure had been identified by the City in
previous studies as being a density where it could be
expected to provide housing for persons of low and
moderate income.
Ms. June Mickelwait, resident of 1425 Superior Avenue,
• designated as Parcel No. 26 on the Land Use Inventory
Exhibit, appeared before the Commission. Ms.
Mickelwait stated that her property is one of the last
single family residences located on' Superior Avenue.
She stated that before the annexation her property was
zoned for residential or medical uses.
Planning Director Hewicker 'stated that the proposed
amendment would place an R -3 classification upon Parcel
No. 26 which would allow one dwelling unit for each
2,178 square feet. He stated that under this
limitation, a maximum of 5 dwelling units could be
allowed to be built upon the.property.
Ms. Mickelwait stated that she is considering an offer
for a small medical equipment building to be built upon
her property, which would generate a minimal amount'of
parking and traffic. She stated that the - proposed
building would consist of a medical equipment warehouse
to be leased to Hoag Hospital.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the General Plan
classifications which exist on the property are the
same zoning classifications which existed on the
property prior to when it was annexed to the City in
1980. He explained the procedures which Ms. Mickelwait
• would have to follow in order to amend the General Plan
for consideration of a medical equipment building on
the site.

Planning Director Hewicker stated that medical type
uses normally generate more traffic per unit than
residential uses. He stated that the increase in
traffic generation would certainly be considered and
influence the decision of the Planning Commission. He
further stated that changing the General Plan
designation for one parcel on Superior Avenue, may
ultimately affect other parcels with similar requests
on Superior Avenue.
Chairman King suggested that Ms. Mickelwait write a
letter to the Planning Department defining her proposal
so that the staff can respond to the request.
Commissioner Goff asked how approval of the proposed
amendment will affect Ms. Mickelwait's property.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that under the
current Unclassified zoning, a use permit or a zone
change request would be necessary to develop the
•
property for anything other than maintaining the
existing single family dwelling. He stated that by
rezoning the property to the R -3 (2178) District, Ms.
Mickelwait would automatically be allowed to develop up
to 5 dwelling units. He stated that if something other
than a residential use, such as a retail or industrial
use, would be proposed for the property, an amendment
to the General Plan would be necessary.
Motion I IXI I I I I I Motion was made for approval of Amendment No. 588,
subject to the environmental.findings.
Commissioner Goff stated that the staff report alludes
to the concept that affordable housing incentives can
be produced as a result of allowing 20 units per
buildable acre, but asked how affordable housing, can be
assured by allowing 20 dwelling units per buildable
acre. Planning Director Hewicker stated that
affordable housing would not be guaranteed. However,
he stated that the proposed zoning would permit rental'
type units as opposed to condominium units. He stated
that approval of a condominium project would require -
. further discretionary review by the City, at which time
the City could act accordingly.

Commissioner Goff stated that the City is currently in
the process of studying this area and asked how
approval of the proposed amendment will affect the
current density study. Planning Director Hewicker
stated that the action which the City takes upon the
proposed amendment will be an indication as to what the
City feels at this time. However, he stated that there
is nothing to preclude the City from initiating a
change in the density at a later date.
Commissioner Balalis referred to Ms. Mickelwait's
earlier comments and stated that the City has an
obligation to the residents of the area and a
commitment to the County Board of Supervisors relating
to the 1980 annexation of this area, to comply with the
zoning. He stated that the proposed amendment
basically provides the zoning to the General Plan
Amendment which existed at the time the annexation
occurred.
• Commissioner Balalis further stated that Ms.
Mickelwait's proposal for a medical equipment building
would most likely not be approved, because it would
constitute spot zoning. He stated that the City is
obligated to follow the zoning based upon the General
Plan at the time the area was annexed by the City.
Commissioner Goff asked what the current rents are at
the Beach House Apartments, which is a highly dense
development in the area.. Planning Director Hewicker
stated that he does not have the specific rent figures
for the Beach House Apartments. Commissioner Winburn
referred to the Newport Villa Apartment complex and
stated that she was informed that a two bedroom unit is
$500.00 per month,_ and a one bedroom unit is $425.00
per month. Commissioner Balalis stated that rents
at the Beach House Apartments range from $425.00 to
$700.00 per unit, per month.
Commissioner Goff asked if these rents are considered
affordable. Commissioners Balalis and Winburn stated
that these rents are considered affordable.
Commissioner Balalis stated that under the County
standards for affordable, a two bedroom unit can go up
to $850.00 per unit, per month.

previously by Commissioner Balalis and stated that when
this property was annexed from the County, she had made
a commitment for the zoning. She stated that it would

In response to a question posed by Commissioner
McLaughlin, Mr. Weston explained the proposed parking
layout and stated that the handicapped parking space
will be located inside the parking area, adjacent to
Begonia Avenue.
Commissioner Winburn expressed her concern with the
narrow width of the alley for the access to the self
parking spaces. She suggested that the parking area
located directly off of the alley could be utilized for
employee parking and perhaps the self parking spaces
could be located closer to Begonia Avenue for easier
access. She also expressed her concerns relating to
the monitoring of the self parking spaces and the valet
parking use.
Mr. Weston stated that the parking layout can be
. adjusted to accommodate these concerns. He stated that
the use of one valet can adequately handle the parking
needs for the restaurant facility.
Ms. Lyla Crespin, resident of 707 Begonia Avenue, and
representing residents of 706 and 709 Begonia Avenue,
appeared before the Commission. Ms. Crespin stated
that the original conditions of the existing use permit
have not been adhered to by the applicant. She
requested that a decision on *the item be continued so
that the neighbors in the area can express their
concerns with the proposed expansion. She stated that
these concerns relate to the increase in traffic, the
off -site parking, and an increase in noise and exhaust
pollution.
Ms. Crespin referred to the data supplied in the staff
report and stated that there are currently 6 to 8
employees for the restaurant, not 4 employees. She
further stated that 14 vehicles park in the lot,
whereas the staff report only indicates 10 parking
spaces are currently provided. She also stated that
the applicant has extended his hours of operation to
10:00 p.m., rather than 9:00 p.m. as required by the
• originally approved use permit, and that the parking
lot is no longer chained during non - business hours, as

Ms. Crespin stated that the use of the 'valet parking
service increases the number of vehicles to the area.
She further stated that the trash is deposited into the
dumpsters during the late evening hours and is picked
up by the trash service during the early morning hours
on the weekends.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that this is the
first request by the applicant for an amendment to the
originally approved use permit. He stated that based
upon the testimony given by Ms. Crespin, the existing
use permit appears to be in violation in several areas.
He stated that the Commission could consider an action
to initiate a hearing for the revocation of the
existing use permit.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Kurlander,'Ms. Crespin stated that she is requesting a
• continuance in order to submit pictures of the use in
question and to present further public testimony from
concerned neighbors. She stated that a continuance for
one month would be helpful.
Commissioner Goff asked what the advantages were of
chaining the parking lot during non - business hours.
Ms. Crespin stated that without chaining the parking
lot, easy access is obtained for vehicles not utilizing
the restaurant facility during all hours of the day and
evening. She stated that by chaining the parking lot,
the traffic can be controlled during the non - business
hours.
In response to a question ,posed by Commissioner Goff,
Ms. Crespin stated that the existing Rothchild's
Restaurant facility is successful in the community,
however, she stated that the area may not be large
enough to handle the proposed expansion.
Commissioner Balalis stated that he was a member of the
Planning Commission when the original use permit was
granted. He stated that the conditions which were
imposed on the original use permit reflected 'the
concerns which were expressed by the Planning
Commission and the surrounding residents. He stated

In response to a question posed by Commissioner

utilized on the alley side of the parking lot, but a
chain is occasionally utilized on the driveway on
Begonia Avenue.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the original use
permit granted in 1978, required that the parking lot
be chained during non - business hours. Planning
Director Hewicker then explained the use of other
parking lot devices which have been recently approved
for projects. He stated that the requirement for an
alternate parking lot device can be considered for the
use.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the City has not
received any complaints relating to the existing
establishment, from adjoining residential properties.
• Chairman King stated that before an alternate parking
lot device is required, all conflicts must be
addressed, such as how the parking lot device affects
the delivery trucks which must frequent the restaurant,
if there is through circulation in the parking lot, and
so on.
Commissioner McLaughlin expressed her concern that
there are tremendous insurance costs involved with the
use of parking lot devices which puncture the tires.
She urged that all of the alternatives be examined,
before a specific parking lot device is decided upon.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the applicant must
comply with the rules which have been imposed.
However, he stated that the property which is owned by
Ms. Crespin is adjacent to commercial property. He
stated that if the proposed expansion can provide the
necessary parking and mitigate the concerns which have
been expressed, the requested application may be
approved.
Ms. Crespin expressed her concern that if the traffic
and parking is allowed to increase, the exhaust and
soot pollution to the adjoining residential areas will

Ms. Elizabeth Barron, resident of 709 Begonia Avenue,
appeared before the Commission and expressed her
concern with the proposed parking layout. Planning
Director Hewicker stated that the applicant has
proposed 24 parking spaces, but the discussion this
evening has recommended the use of 21 parking spaces.
He stated that the applicant is proposing to remove the
existing garage structure. Ms. Barron stated that the
proposed expansion will not fit into such a small area.
Mr. Helmut Reiss, the applicant and the owner of
Rothchild's, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Reiss
stated that the parking lot was originally chained, but
many problems were encountered, such as the lock or the
chain being cut, the poles being smashed, vehicles
which were left in the parking lot after the closing
time, and delivery trucks which could not gain access.
Mr. Reiss suggested that perhaps the use of wrought
. iron sliding gates' would resolve the concerns which
have been expressed. He stated that the valet can move
the remaining vehicles to the front of the restaurant
when the restaurant is closing. He stated that in this
way, the back parking lot can be closed off when the
restaurant is closed. He stated that he can attempt to
control the noise which the restaurant use would
generate, however, he stated that he would have no
control over the vehicle emissions.
Mr. Reiss stated that he is willing to cooperate with
the community and the City in resolving the concerns
which have been expressed..
Commissioner McLaughlin asked how the trash service
will gain access to the dumpster, if the gates are
locked during non - business hours. Mr. Reiss stated
that he can control the trash service schedule and that
a key can be supplied to the trash service.
Mr. Reiss stated that when the original use ,_permit was
heard by the Planning Commission,in 1978, there was
discussion that the removal of the garage- structure
would be highly .recommended. He stated that the
proposed request is for the removal of the garage
structure which will provide for a more useful parking

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. ,Reiss explained how the valet would move the
vehicles from the back parking lot at closing time and
notify the owners. He stated that this would only
affect the remaining one or two restaurant patrons.
Commissioner Balalis asked the applicant to comment on.
the 10:00 p.m. closing time. 'Mr. Reiss stated that the
10:00 P.M. closing time is necessary because of the
nature of the area. He stated that a restaurant needs
to be open until 10:00 p.m. in Corona del Mar or
Newport Beach in order to do any business.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Balalis, Mr. Reiss stated that his primary business is
from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. He stated that it
generally takes until 10:00 p.m. for the last customers
to leave the restaurant.
• Commissioner Allen suggested that perhaps the dumpster
could be located within the building, thereby absorbing
the noise which would be generated from restaurant
employees emptying the trash,during the late evening
hours. Mr. Reiss stated that because of sanitary
factors, the dumpster could not be located inside the
building, however he stated that the trash could be
emptied earlier in the evening. He suggested that a
high wall be constructed surrounding the dumpster which
would absorb the noise generated from the trash
dumpster.
Mr: Emil Crespin, resident of 707 Begonia Avenue,
expressed his concern with the vehicles-which will park
in front of the restaurant and the possibility that
East Coast Highway will be widened. Mr. Donald Webb,
City Engineer, stated that the City and the State have
no plans to widen East Coast Highway or to remove
parking from East Coast Highway in Corona del Mar.
Commissioner Goff suggested that the alternatives be
explored on how the parking lot can be secured during
the non - business hours.
Chairman King requested that the suggestion for the
• construction of a high wall surrounding the dumpster be
further addressed in order to sound attenuate the
dumpster from the adjoining residents.
