James Hewicker, Planning Director, addressed the changes to the
Newport Beach Municipal Code regarding the permitted height
of construction on the ocean side of Ocean Boulevard and the
existing regulations at top of curb, and what constitutes a new
dwelling and a remodel under the nonconforming standards. He
distributed photographs depicting the existing structure, and
adjoining lots where several variances were approved by the
Planning Commission to exceed the height of top of curb on
Ocean Boulevard. Mr. Hewicker explained that the existing
structure, that will be demolished, varies in height from 8 feet 6
inches from top of curb to 4 feet 6 inches above top of curb,
and he defined Variances No. 1151 located at 3719 Ocean
Boulevard, No. 1129 located at 3713 Ocean Boulevard, and No.
1124 located at 3317 Ocean Boulevard. Mr. Hewicker concluded
that there is justification to grant a variance based on the
topography of the site; however, he indicated that the public view
should be considered inasmuch as the existing structure is
proposed to be demolished.
by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
In response to a question posed
Hewicker explained that if the existing structure would be
remodeled and not demolished, then the recently adopted non-
conforming regulations would be evaluated accordingly.
William Laycock, Current Planning Manager, distributed
photographs that were submitted by the applicant.
Chairman Pomeroy, Commissioner Debay, and Mr. Hewicker
discussed the height of the existing structure and the foregoing
dwellings that were constructed above top of curb on Ocean
Boulevard.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
Mr., Dan Hangsleben, applicant, appeared before the Planning
Commission. Mr. Hangsleben determined that it would be
difficult to remodel the existing dwelling based on the condition
of the building's foundation, and he indicated that the proposed
structure would be in compliance with the height of the adjacent
dwellings above top of curb. Mr. Hangsleben stated that the
proposed plans were submitted to the City prior to the approval

of the nonconforming regulations.

Mr. Neil Mitchell Cowan, Architect, appeared before the
Planning Commission. He explained that the proposed structure
has been designed to conform with the bluff, the structure's
appearance from Ocean Boulevard will not significantly change
from the existing construction, and the building will comply with
the heights of the adjacent structures.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy with
respect to the height of the garage, Mr. Cowan replied that the
existing garage is 8 foot 6 inches above top of curb, and if the
proposed garage were lowered it would be necessary to move it
to the location of an existing cypress tree, and the entrance to
the structure would require excavation into the bluff.
Discussion ensued regarding the height of bedroom ceilings and
the driveway slope if the ceiling heights were lowered.
Chairman Pomeroy suggested that to capture more of a public
view and to lower the structure, the ceiling height of the garage
could be lowered from 8 feet 6 inches to 7 feet 6 inches, lower
the master bedroom ceiling from 10 feet to 9 feet, and lower the
ceiling height of the downstairs bedroom from 9 feet to 8 feet.
Commissioner Pers6n indicated that it is important to consider
the variance as a request to construct a new single family
dwelling, not as a remodel, and the heights of the
aforementioned adjacent structures will not influence his decision.
Commissioner Pers6n stated that when a variance is considered,
it is important to maximize the public view from public places
without taking away the property rights of the applicant.
Robin Flory, Assistant City Attorney, stated that under the
adopted nonconforming provisions of the Municipal Code, a
building is considered a remodel when at least 25 percent of the
existing structure remains.
Commissioner Debay addressed the importance to maintain the
public view from Ocean Boulevard. She stated that if variances
are granted based on adjacent structures, then a precedent would
be set that could obstruct public views.

Commissioner Pers6n pointed out that on the basis that the
applicant filed for a new structure, and not a remodel, the
adopted nonconforming statute would not apply to the subject
variance.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Pers6n, Ms.
Flory explained that nonconforming status of an existing building
is not a factor when considering findings for a variance if the
existing structure is demolished. Only the property should be
considered and what is unusual about the topography of said
property when considering a variance to exceed the permitted
height, and whether the applicant is denied a substantial property
right to construct on the site. She indicated that a request for
a specific size of building exceeding the structure that exists is
not a factor that should be considered. Ms. Flory further
explained that the adjoining properties are not a consideration in
conjunction with a variance to exceed the height on the subject
property.
Mr. Hewicker addressed the adopted nonconforming regulations
that pertain to remodeling a structure. Commissioner Pers6n
pointed out that if the applicant requested to remodel the
existing 1,400 square foot structure and to increase the area of
the structure to 5,200 square feet, then on that basis the
structure should be considered a new building.
Commissioner Debay stated that based on the comments in the
staff report indicating that the applicant has requested to increase
the height of the building to match the existing dwelling, the
proposed height of the building exceeds the height that presently
exists on the site.
Commissioner Merrill stated that the current intrusion of public
view on the property could be increased by the skylights and
chimney of the proposed structure.
Discussion ensued regarding concerns to maintain public views on
Ocean Boulevard and future consideration to reduce the height
of structures so as to preserve the views.
In response to a comment by Mr. Cowan and a question posed
by Commissioner Pers6n, Mr. Hewicker explained that a structure
-12-

that was remodeled adjacent to the subject property was
constructed in accordance with regulations that no longer exist.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Di Sano, Mr.
Cowan replied that the age of the current structure is
approximately 35 years old, and approximately 10 years of life
remains in the structure. Mr. Hewicker responded that if the
structure would be damaged by a natural disaster, the property
owner would be allowed to reconstruct the structure subject to
the approval of a use permit. Commissioner Di Sano addressed
the Planning Commission's responsibility to consider public views
and property rights.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Pers6n, Mr.
Cowan replied that the applicant would agree to continue the
subject variance for two weeks.
Commissioner Glover stated that the applicant should not feel
. that by lowering the ceilings as suggested earlier that the project
would be automatically approved. Rather that the lowering of
ceiling heights is only suggested as a guideline and that the
applicant should return with a design which not only meets his
needs, but also reflects the responsibility of the Commission to
protect public views of the ocean over the project.
Motion I I I I I I I * Motion was made to continue Variance No. 1165 to the July 5,
1990, Planning Commission meeting.
Commissioner Pers6n suggested that the applicant _come back
with revised plans that incorporate Chairman Pomeroy's previous
recommendations, as well as to consider what was accomplished
on the property located at 3713 Ocean Boulevard where the
garage was permitted to exceed the height of curb by 3 feet but
the remaining portion of the structure was constructed at or
below the top of curb on Ocean Boulevard.
Commissioner Merrill addressed his concern regarding the size
and the affect on the public view of the center skylight:
