Request of Ninfa Jarvis for interpretation of Item #3
Sections 20.83.020, 20.83.030 and 20.83.040
(NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES) and Chapter REQUEST
20.61 (SPECIFIC PLAN (NEWPORT SHORES)) of the OF NINFA
Newport Beach Municipal. Code as it pertains to JARVIS
the use of a structure located at 7200 West Coast FOR
Highway for a real estate and investment business. INTER -
PRETATION
Community Development Director Hogan advised of THE
the reasoning behind staff's recommendation for N.B.M.C.
denial of this request to permit a real estate
and investment business to operate in the
structure located at 7200 West Coast Highway;
i.e., 1) the proposed use is inconsistent with
the Specific Area Plan, and 2) the proposed use
could not qualify as being a nonconforming use
since it appears.that the building has not been
used for a purpose similar to that proposed for
more than six months.
Discussion was opened to the public and Ninfa •
Jarvis appeared before the Planning Commission.
Ms. Jarvis explained that she was of the
opinion, based on information received from a
member of the City's Building Department staff,
that this building could be used for a real
estate office. Consequently, she did considerable .
upgrading to the structure in an effort to bring
the building up to Code -- unaware that building
permits are required for this type of upgrading.
She then reviewed the specific upgrading done to
this building and commented on the visual
improvement which has resulted. Ms. Jarvis felt
that the consensus of the residents of the area
is that duplexes are detrimental to the area and
that the zoning should be changed to preclude
further development of same. She then presented
a letter from the Newport Shores Community
Association Board of Directors and a public
opinion poll, signed. by 59 residents of West
Newport, indicating their support of a real
estate office being permitted to operate on the
site in,question.
Mamie Hunt, owner and manager of the Beach & Bay
Mobile Home Park, appeared before the Planning •
Commission and stated that she has been using the
rear portion of this building as an office for
her, mobile home park. She advised that she

is not presently using the front of the building
for office use due to vandalism. She then urged
approval of this request as she felt it would
upgrade the area.
Staff advised that the Zoning Code provides that
the nonconforming use of a portion of a buildi.ng
may be extended throughout a building, provided
that in each case a Use Permit shall first be
obtained.
Community Development Director Hogan commented
that all of the information that staff had
received heretofore relative to the operation of
this building indicated that the structure had
been used for storage purposes in connection
with supplies relating to the mobile home park.
MINUTES
Halstead Pembroke, appeared before the Planning
commission and urged approval of this application
.as he did not feel it would be detrimental to
the area.
Chuck Byre, 2025 Via Lido Soud, appeared before
the Planning Commission and supported the
proposal in view of the visual improvement which
has resulted.
There being no others desiring to appear and be
heard, the discussion was closed to the public.
Motion was made that Planning Commission make the
following findings:
1. That there is a nonconforming trailer park
use of that building.
2. That the nonconforming trailer park use
encompassed the entire building.
3. That the real estate office, in conjunction
with the trailer park office, is a compatible
use. Further, that the real estate office
is equal to, or more restrictive than, the
.trailer park office.
4: That the real estate office is actually run.
by the owners of the trailer park.

Community Development Director Hogan explained
that i.nasmuch as there is a zone conflict between

of the conditions of approval, that the Applicant
initiate a zone change amendment so as to
reclassify that portion of Lot 44 which is to
be added to Lot 46 from the R -2 -B District to
the R -1 -B District in order to keep the zoning
boundary with the property line. He added that
if the Planning Commission desires, it could
initiate the zone change and, consequently, the
City would bear the cost of same.
Public hearing was opened in connection with
this item and Howard Meek, Applicant, appeared
before the Planning Commission and advised
that this proposed resubdivision involves
approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of land which he
proposes to purchase from his neighbor. He added
that he would appreciate the City bearing the
cost for the recommended zone change.

groundwater in both the study area and in the
adjacent areas and found that the major source
of groundwater was coming in as subsurface
inflow from adjacent areas rather than being
contributed from the study area. He further
advised that the Groundwater Study addressed only
the groundwater problem, although there may be
other geologic hazards in this area which are
not associated with the groundwater.
Public hearing was opened in connection with
this matter and Douglas Wood, representing
Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates, appeared
before the Planning Commission and advised
that his firm was directly involved in the
preparation of the Addendum to the Final E.I.R.
Mr. Wood commented that the conclusions of the
Geotechnical Analysis, which was prepared by
the firm of Evans, Goffman, and McCormick,
were confirmed in the Groundwater Study and
voiced . his opinion that subject tracts could be
developed in a geotechnical- feasible manner.
James Dooley, representing the Holstein Company,
appeared before the Planning Commission and
advised that the firm of Soils International has
concurred that this site is able to be developed
safely. Mr. Dooley requested that the park
dedication requirement not be applied to this
development inasmuch as Holstein Industries has
previously dedicated a 13 -acre park which was
to serve the entire Bluffs development. He also
requested that if the Planning Commission deems it
necessary to require Holstein Industries to
dedicate new parks, that the specific park fee not
be included as a condition of approval and that
the specific park fee be determined by the
City Council. Mr. Dooley voiced concern that one
of the conditions of approval as set forth in the
staff report provides that completed residential
units shall be offered to purchasers on a leasehol
basis. Mr. Dooley felt that this condition should
be modified so as to provide that the residential
units shall be offered to purchasers on either a
fee or leasehold basis. He also voiced concern
with staff's recommended condition of approval
which provides that prior to the issuance of
building permits, the applicant shall enter into
an agreement and post a bond with the Bluffs
Homeowners Community Association guaranteeing to
repair within 30 days all damage caused by

the control of the Bluffs Homeowners Association.
Mr. Dooley guaranteed that this will be done
but requested.that this conditi.on be amended so
as not to require such agreement with the
Bluffs Homeowners Association prior to the
issuance of building permits.
Jack Edmonston, President of the Bluffs
Homeowners Association, appeared before the
Planning Commission and requested a 30 days'
continuance of this matter so as to allow
time for the Bluffs Homeowners Association to
consider the Groundwater Study and any possible
ramifications of these residential units being
offered to purchasers on a fee basis.
Planning Commission advised Mr. Edmonston that
if the Planning Commission acts on this matter
this evening, it would not be heard by the
City Council prior to August 14, 1978 which
Would allow adequate time for consideration of
the Groundwater Study and the possible.ramifi -
cations of sale of these residential units.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission
that Condition No. 18 as set forth in the staff
report for Use Permits No. 1730 and 1731 should
be deleted inasmuch as it is not within the
purview of the City to determine whether property
is to be leased or sold.
Community Development Director Hogan explained
that the entire purpose of this condition was
to make it possible for these developments
to become a part of the Bluffs Homeowners
Association.

belief that Holstein Industries misrepresented
the proposed use of the tracts in question to
over half of the owners of the present Bluffs
development. Ms. Lundberg then presented copies
of maps that were given to the owners of the
presently- developed tract which projected these
sites as a greenbelt. She also advised that the
Bluffs homeowners have spent considerable amounts
of money correcting terrain, drainage and
landscaping which was done improperly, or not at
all; by the developer. She added that the

Annette Kates, resident of the Bluffs, appearel
before the Planning Commission and commented
that although the recommendations set forth in
the Groundwater Study may solve the water
problems for the new development, the homes
that are already constructed will still have
water problems.
Marie Buckey, resident of the Bluffs, appeared
before the Planning Commission and requested
a 30 days' continuance of this matter to allow
time for the Bluffs Community Association's
consultant to review the Groundwater Study.
Planning Commission expressed that many of the
concerns voiced thus far have dealt with
issues which should be taken up with the
developer and do not relate to the approval of
this proposal.
Maxine Lundberg reappeared before the Planning
Commission and voiced concern that the
remedial measures offered in the Groundwater
Study do not offer any guarantees that the
groundwater problems in this area will be
solved.
There being no others desiring to appear and
be heard, the public hearing was closed.

not presently using the required lot, the
apparent parking surplus is apparent rather
than real.

method of operation of the restaurant,.then
an additional use permit or an amendment to
