Zone: R -1 Applicant: J. Ray Construction Company, Costa Mesa Owner: Same as Applicant Engineer: Raub, Bein, Frost & Associates, Newport Beach Community Development Director Hogan pointed out that if the Commission approved this request, it would also be necessary to grant an exception to the Subdivision Code because the width of the lots would be less than 50 feet. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. • Bill Frost of Raub, Bein, Frost & Associates, appeared before the Commission and presented an aerial photograph of Buck Gully and the subject property, with an overlay depicting the effect of the subdivision on the adjacent property, includ- ing the fact there would be no loss of view to Buck Gully. He also concurred with the staff report and recommended conditions. Planning Commission questioned the matter of design and were advised that no plans had as yet been pre- pared, however, any construction would conform to City code and setbacks. The effect of the propose ordinance establishing rear yard setbacks along Buck Gully was also discussed. Jim Ray, 4720 Cortland, Corona del Mar, applicant and owner, appeared before the Commission and commented on the proposed construction, advising of their intent to build down the slope a distance further than the 100 feet from the front property line which is contained in the proposed setback ordinance. The construction, however, would not cause a loss of view to Buck Gully and would eliminate only a small portion of the view across his property to the ocean. He emphasized that • construction down the slope would be more benefic -. ial to the adjacent property than if he was restricted to the same development as that exist- ing along Hazel. Page 6.

There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed. Motion X Motion was made that the Planning Commission make the following findings: 1. That the resubdivision as proposed is consis- tent with the General Plan and will not exceed a density of 10 dwelling units per acre as specified under the Residential Growth Element. 2. That the area of each parcel far exceeds the minimum 5,000 sq. ft. requirement of the Municipal Code. 3. That the topography on this site is not as severe as the topography on other sites • adjoining to the north and therefore has a potentially greater area for development. 4. That the parcel as currently subdivided is considerably larger than existing lots in the area and that the further subdivision of said parcel will not create parcels which in terms of their size, width and buildable area are inconsistent or incompatible with other lots in the vicinity. 5. That the requested exception is necessitated by the fact that existing lot width requiremen s were adopted subsequent to the original sub- division of the area and that almost all of the building sites in the area do not conform to current standards. 6. That if the exception were denied the petition er would be deprived of a substantial property right enjoyed by others in the area. 7. That the granting of this exception is compat- ible with the objectives of the regulations governing light, air and the public health, • safety, convenience, and general welfare. 8.

That a parcel map be filed. 2. That separate water and sewer service connec- tions satisfactory to the Public Works Department be provided for each new parcel. In discussing the motion, some of the Commissioners were concerned that construction on the subject property would encroach further into Buck Gully than any other development on Hazel, whereas, other Commissioners felt the property was unique in that it contained more buildable land and was located at a point where Buck Gully curved away from the subject property. Planning Commission also discussed preservation of views and height limitations. X X X X Following discussion, the motion was voted on and X X X carried.

Terry Welsh, representing The Irvine Company, appeared before the Commission and requested that a plan review process rather than the use permit procedure be given consideration. Staff advised that the reason the use permit procedure was being recommended was that at the present time there are other factors which require a use permit for restaurants,such as live enter- tainment and the serving of alcoholic beverages within 200 feet of a residential district, which could also be considered along with the parking. The plan review process would not allow for . consideration of matters which now require a use permit. Page 17.
