William Laycock, Current Planning Administrator,
commented that the applicant has installed four
temporary signs on each corner of the parking lot chain
link fence instead of the two temporary signs that the
applicant had requested. Mr. Laycock said that staff
does not have any objections to the four signs because
the signs are small and insignificant.

Commissioner Koppelman, Mr. Laycock replied that the
Planning Commission could impose a condition that would
require the applicant to remove the two illegal signs.

application is a Discussion item that does not require
a public notice, the Planning Commission could approve
the four signs even though the applicant only requested
approval of two signs.

The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. F. W. Evins, appeared before the Planning
Commission on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Evins
explained the need for the subject temporary facility,

the applicant could obtain a Hold Harmless Agreement
from the City Attorney's office stating that if the
subject application is appealed and denied by the City
Council, that the applicant would remove any
improvements and restore the property back to the

recently conducted a major parking study for the

opened to the public during the evening hours and some
of the parking structure has been reallocated for

Commissioner Eichenhofer referred to Condition No. 6
stating "that the temporary MRI facilities shall be
removed from the site prior to occupancy of the

findings and conditions in Exhibit "A "; however, she
inquired as to the purpose of Condition No. 6 which
states "that a trash compactor shall be installed in
the restaurant facility." Chairman Turner responded
that the Planning Commission has been requesting that
restaurants install trash compactors, unless there is
an alternative means, so that there will be less debris
surrounding the area. Ms. McGuire commented that there
is concern regarding the heavy .weight of the garbage,
and the contaminated food left in the trash compactor.
She located and described the trash compactor and trash
enclosure on the project site for the utilization of
the North Tower, which would be available and adjacent
to the subject restaurant.
The public hearing was closed at this time.
Chairman Turner commented that inasmuch as the
restaurant has access to a common trash compactor on
the subject property, Condition No. 6 is not necessary,
and that Condition No. 12 would allow the Planning
Commission to bring back the use permit if there would
be debris surrounding the restaurant area.

William Laycock, Current Planning Administrator,
referred to the staff report addendum for Use Permit
No. 3216, recommending Finding No. 14, "That all
significant environmental concerns for the proposed
project have been addressed in a previously certified
environmental document and there are no additional
reasonable alternatives or mitigation measures that
should be considered in conjunction with said project ";
Finding No. 15, "That the contents of the environmental
document have been considered in the various decisions
on this project ", and Finding No. 16, "The project will
not have any significant environmental impact ".
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Koppelman, William Ward, Senior Planner, replied that
the Coastal Commission has approved previous
applications regarding the subject property, and he
said that the Coastal Commission has stated in their
staff report "that the subject property is not a
coastal bluff, but a canyon probably formed from former
creek activity."
The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Bruce Manzer, architect for the project,
appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of
the applicant, and he commented that he concurs with
the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A ". Mr. Manzer
referred to Condition No. 18 regarding the built -in
fire protection, and he commented that the Fire
Department required the sprinklered system on
previously approved applications because of the
projects' third levels. Mr. Manzer pointed out that
the third level has been removed from the proposed
development and he questioned the necessity for the
Condition. Mr. Laycock replied that the Fire
Department requested that Condition No. 18 remain
because the Condition states that the development
"shall provide built -in fire protection (sprinklered),
or other provisions as may be accepted by the Fire
Department ", and that at a later date the Fire
Department may not require fire protection.

He said that the proposed application would be
inconsistent with the City's General Plan and the Land
Use Plan certified by the California Coastal
Commission. He disagreed with the conclusions in the
staff report that the bluff on the property is not a
coastal bluff and, therefore, the bluff setback and
other limitations and restrictions of the General Plan
and the Land Use Plan are not applicable. He further
opposed the use of the Negative Declaration prepared
four years ago as the Environmental Document for the
property and development. Mr. Wilmar referred to his
letter dated July 24, 1986, addressed to the Planning
Commission, wherein he explained that an Environmental
Impact Report on a four unit condominium is not
unreasonable. Mr. Wilmar further explained that based
on his information the applicant has no legal right of
access to the site from Carnation Avenue.
Discussion followed between Chairman Turner,
Commissioner Kurlander, and Mr. Wilmar regarding the
recorded and perscriptive easements within the
abandoned Carnation Avenue.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding a statement made previously by Mr.
Wilmar regarding the transfer of development rights,
Mr. Wilmar explained that one purpose of the
Environmental Impact Report would be to attempt to come
to some conclusion if the transfer of development
rights would be appropriate and if so, how the
situation could be implemented.
Mr. Harvey Pease, 314 Carnation Avenue, appeared before
the Planning Commission, and he explained that each
property owner on Carnation Avenue owns the property up
to the center line of Carnation Avenue and have cross
easements on the opposite side of the street. Chairman
Turner referred to previous statements made by Mr.
Pease at a previous public hearing regarding the
construction of a barrier at the end of Carnation
Avenue, and Mr. Pease replied that because he only owns
one -half of. the street at the end of Carnation Avenue
that he would install one -half of the barrier within
approximately two weeks. Mr. Pease stated that he has
reviewed the proposed plans and that he supports the
application.

In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Winburn, Mr. Pease replied that he is in accordance
with the applicant as to the view that he would lose
because of the proposed project.
The public hearing was closed at this time.
In response to a request made by Commissioner Koppelman
regarding Mr. Wilmar's aforementioned reference to
Municipal Code Section No. 19.20.110F and Section No.
20.10.050, City Engineer Donald Webb replied that
Section No. 19.20.110F states that "NOT ABUTTING ON
STREET. Lots that do not abut on a street will not be
permitted ". When questioned by Mr. Webb as to why he
referred to Section No. 20.10.050: PARKING, Mr. Wilmar
replied that if'the applicant did not have the right of
access then he would not be able to meet the parking
requirements.
Chairman Turner pointed out that there is a question as
to whether or not there is an easement to the subject
property. He explained that the Planning Commission
could approve the subject application; however, the
applicant would have to prove at a future date that
they have access to the public street. Mr. Wilmar
reappeared before the Planning Commission and said that
to say that there is no document on record is not
correct, but that the copy of the deed that is attached
as an exhibit to the aforementioned letter shows that
there is no recorded easement attached to the subject
property.
Ms. Korade stated that the question regarding if the
property owner has easement rights, could be decided at
some future date, but that the building should not be
built if there is not access to the public street;
however, she said that there may be other legal rights
that could provide access such as prescriptive
easements. Ms. Korade suggested that the Planning
Commission may take action on the subject application.
Commissioner Kurlander suggested that the subject
application be continued, and he said that it would be
unusual that the County of Orange would vacate this
property without providing some means of access to a
public right -of -way, which would landlock the property

owners.
Chairman Turner said that the applicant must comply

Mr. Laycock recommended that Conditions No. 25, No. 26,

of the subject site be added to Use Permit No. 3213 as
follows:

operators of the "Resolution" do not have the
Commercial Harbor Activities Permit for boat charter.
Mr. Laycock said that Condition No. 25 would allow the
"Resolution" to remain on -site; Condition No. 27 states
-
that no passenger loading or unloading shall be
permitted on -site; however, the boat could remain at
the subject location but could not be utilized for boat
charter from the upland property.
Mr. Laycock suggested that if the Planning Commission
should decide that "Resolution" not remain on the
subject property, then the following line of Condition
No. 25 could be deleted: "With the exception of one 45
foot slip which is intended to be used for the birthing
of the ship "Resolution ". Mr. Laycock suggested that
Condition No. 26 be deleted if Condition No. 25 was
modified.
Mr. Laycock explained that staff is concerned that if
there is a boat charter operation at the subject
facility, and the boat slips are rented out for
commercial uses, that there would not be adequate
•
parking on -site for the guests of the bed and breakfast
facility.
in response to Commissioner Winburn's comment that the
"Resolution" has not had a Harbor Permit for several
years, Mr. Laycock replied that the Marine Department
has requested that the "Resolution" obtain a Harbor
Permit for the past several months, and that the Marine
Department could issue citations, or the issue could be
referred to the Attorney's office as a legal matter.
Assistant City Attorney Carol Korade explained that the
operators of the "Resolution" should contact the Marine
Department for the Harbor Permit application, whereby
standard conditions would be imposed to the Harbor
Permit which would regulate Newport Harbor activities.
The public hearing was opened in connection with this
item, and Mr. Paul Balalis, 1129 East Balboa Boulevard,
owner, appeared before the Planning Commission, and
introduced the Captain of the "Resolution ".
Mr. Barry Spieler, 351 Old Newport Boulevard, owner and
Captain of the "Resolution ", appeared before the

•
before the Planning Commission for a use permit to
operate in Newport Harbor, and the findings were that

the "Resolution" was operating legally in accordance
with the Coast Guard. He advised that 90 percent of
the "Resolution's" business is chartering customers to
Catalina Island; that they they advertise out -of -state
and out of the Newport Harbor area; that the boat
charter passengers are often picked up and returned to
the airport; that local hotels book the "Resolution"
for charter; that automobile parking is not a problem=
and that he also boat charters for corporate business
and for personal entertaining.
Mr. Spieler explained that the "Resolution" is licensed
with the Coast Guard under a Coastal Trade which allows
six paying passengers, and bare boating. Mr. Spieler
explained that bare boating is catered by a local
restaurant, and the "Resolution" picks up the
passengers at the restaurant. He said that if there is
a need to pick up passengers at the subject site that
there is adequate parking; however, after October they
would not do so unless they are operating the boat
legally. Mr. Spieler commented that the maximum number
of passengers that the "Resolution" carries is 45 to 50
people who would be bussed to the subject site, and
then picked up by bus at a later hour.
Mr. Spieler said. that the Marine Department contacted
him about two months ago and stated that the City.was
changing its policy that if 90 percent of the boat
charter business was out of Newport Harbor, then the
operators of the charter boats would have to apply for
a Harbor Permit. Mr. Spieler advised that he has
submitted the written application, but not the $365.00
check, to the Marine Department; however, he said that
he would promptly deliver the check to the Marine
Department. He commented that during the winter months
the ship operates in Mexico; that the ship is owned by
a Hawaiian Company; that they will attempt to comply
with Newport Harbor regulations; and that they are not
known as a trouble boat.
In response to 'a question posed by Commissioner
Eichenhofer regarding where the passengers board and
depart the ship, Mr. Spieler replied that the
passengers currently board at the end of 20th Street.
He said that the majority of his business is chartering
six passengers to Catalina Island; however,
approximately once a month there is a boat charter

whereby the bus will bring the passengers to 20th

Merrill, Mr. Spieler replied that the busses park in
the parking lot at Pacific Tide Marine and then back
onto the street, and that the boat operators are
allowed to open the gates to the Pacific Tide Marine at
any hour.
Mr. Balalis reappeared before the Planning Commission,
and advised that the owners have only provided a dock
for the "Resolution" because there was not another site
for the ship in the area. He referred to staff's
recommended Condition No. 25 and suggested that
"Resolution" could be removed from the condition and
that the condition could refer to a specific vessel
that may be docked that would have all of the qualified
licenses. Mr. Balalis said that if there would be a
boat charter business at the subject site, that the
operators would have to provide adequate parking;
however, if problems developed for the proposed project
because there are boat charters operating from the site
then the property owners would rather not have the
boat charters at all.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Turner
regarding Condition No. 25, Mr. Balalis responded that
he would approve that the following sentence be
deleted: "With the exception of one 45 foot slip which
is intended to be used for the birthing of the ship
"Resolution "." Mr. Balalis said that the second- boat
that has been on -site has an engine problem and that
the owner and the Marine Department have - reached an
agreement so that the boat will depart for Long Beach
immediately.

Mr. Balalis commented that the subject site has not
been used as a boat yard since approximately March 10,
1986, when the boat crane was lost.
Mr. Larry Frapwell, applicant, appeared before the
Planning Commission, and described the proposed project
and the adjacent area from a table model. In response
to a question posed by Commissioner Koppelman, Mr.
Frapwell replied that the proposed building is directly
on the westerly property line, that the building wall
would be required under the Building Code for
separation and fire protection, and that no openings in
the wall are proposed.
Mr. Balalis reappeared before the Planning Commission,
and stated that he concurs with the findings and
conditions in Exhibit "A ". He referred to
Resubdivision No. 832, Condition No. 7, and asked that
the recommended eight foot wide perpendicular sidewalk
with easement be modified to a six foot wide easement
to conform with the front six foot wide sidewalk, and
. that the applicant be allowed to cantilever out one
foot over the bulkhead. He explained that to provide
the eight foot wide easement would require the
applicant to cut into the building by three feet which
would create the loss of one parking space.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Turner, Mr.
Webb replied that the street end would be cantelevered
over. He said that there is a waterway that would be
reviewed by the Coastal Commission and they usually
take the position that a cantelever does not change the
characteristics of the water underneath. He said that
the bulkhead will have to be modified for this
development. .
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Kurlander, Mr. Webb replied that the purpose of
recommending an eight foot wide sidewalk is so that the
sidewalk would have the appearance of a continuation of
the present sidewalk on 20th Street; however, he would
agree to a six foot wide sidewalk. In referring to
Commissioner Kurlander's inquiry regarding high tide,
Mr. Webb replied that the bulkhead would be raised to
the elevation of 9 feet above mean or low tide, and
that the driveway in the proposed underground parking
• I I I I I I I I structure would be designed so that it is also above

an effort to try to keep water from going into the
underground structure.
Mr. Balalis referred to Resubdivision No. 832,
Condition No. 8 stating "that the median island on West
Balboa Boulevard at 20th Street be reconstructed to
provide an eastbound left turn lane ", and he questioned
staff's recommendation that four parking spaces be
removed to allow for the left turn lane. In response
to Mr. Balalis' question regarding the magnitude of the
left turn lane, Mr. Webb explained the intensification
of the 20th Street intersection.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Eichenhofer regarding the Cannery Village/McFadden
Square mixmaster plan, Mr. Webb replied that the
mixmaster would not affect the area between 20th Street
and 21st Street, because the traffic would be merged
into the traffic pattern at 21st Street.
I I I I I I I I Mr. Balalis stated that the applicant is attempting to
• reduce the congestion at 20th Street by developing a
semi - residential project. He said that the number of
trips that will occur by the guests will be less than
if the area would be developed into a commercial site.
He commented that the 2 to 2 1/2 trips per day by the
guests will not occur during the peak traffic hours.
Mr. Balalis stated that the applicant will provide the
left turn lane if requested to do so.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner
Koppelman regarding the time frame of the proposed
development, Mr. Balalis replied that the construction
could start prior to October, and the completion of the
project would be in the late Spring or early Summer of
1987. Mr. Webb replied that the left turn lane should
be a high priority. He said that the cost of the left
turn lane would be approximately $10,000. to $15,000.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn
regarding Use Permit No. 3213, Condition No. 4, stating
that the bed and breakfast facility shall be used for
no other uses, Mr. Balalis explained that a bed and
breakfast facility creates an at -home atmosphere. He
said that if a quest would have a reception and there
would not be adequate parking, then the facility would
• 11111111 provide valet parking.

Mr. George Matulich, 217 - 20th Street, appeared before
the Planning Commission, and discussed the traffic
conditions on 20th Street and 21st Street. He said
that the traffic conditions will become more intense on
20th Street because the guests will be moving in and
out; trucks will be loading and unloading; there will
be more foot traffic; that the traffic on 20th Street
has not been addressed properly; there is currently
heavy traffic because of other commercial operations
within the area; that there is heavy traffic in the
area daily between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.; and that
the subject site will be intensified. Mr. Matulich said
that he is not opposed to the development and that he
would like to'see the improvements in the area.
In response to questions posed by Chairman Turner, Mr.
Webb replied that staff did not measure the total
number of trips on 20th Street because it is a dead -end
street that is 35 feet wide. Mr. Webb further stated
that the traffic from the proposed development would
increase the total number of trips on a daily basis,
but the traffic would not reach the capacity of the
•
street and would not over - burden the street. He said
that the facility would .attract a different type of
traffic, that the traffic would be primarily vehicles
that would be smaller, and there would not be many
delivery vans.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Koppelman, Mr. Webb replied that a bed and breakfast
facility would create a different mix of traffic as
compared to a commercial use, and that the facility
would not create concentrated traffic during the peak
hours.
Ms. Jan DeBay, West Newport Homeowners Association,
appeared before the Planning Commission. Ms. DeBay
stated that Mr. Balalis invited the Homeowners
Association to review the proposed project, and she
said that she supports the project; however, the Board
of Directors of the Homeowners Association has not met
to vote on the proposed project. Ms. DeBay stated that
the peak traffic hour for the facility could be between
11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. noon, which would not impact
the beach traffic; that she supports the planning and
conditions that the project would create on the
property; that the property will be well - managed and
supervised; that the area will be up- graded; that the

two or three persons; and that the type of person who
will be at the facility will be there for leisure
activities.
Mr. Bob Roubian, 20th Street resident for 40 years,
appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Roubian
emphatically reasoned why the proposed project will
create congestion on the dead -end street: that the
street is currently difficult to enter and exit;
difficult to find a parking place; there is no way to
turn an automobile around conveniently; the street is
over - crowded and inadequate for the 16 residents who
currently reside on the street; that the proposed
project will create more traffic from the guests,
employees, and delivery vehicles. He said that the
project will be detrimental to the persons residing and
working in the neighborhood; and injurious to the
property and general welfare of the City. In summary,
Mr. Roubian said that the proposed project will be like
"trying to get a whale in a sardine can ".
The Planning Commission recessed at 9:55 p.m. and
reconvened at 10:00 p.m.
Mr. Stephen Magro, 312 - 36th Street, appeared before
the Planning Commission in opposition to the project,
because of the impact that the proposed project will
have on the street, and he questioned the density of
the R -2 zone. Chairman Turner replied that the portion
of the project that is zoned R -2 extends across the
property away from the bay. Mr. Laycock explained that
the Zoning Code allows for 1 unit for each 1,000 square
foot; however, the Coastal Commission requires 1,200
square feet for each unit. Mr. Magro stated his
concern for the pedestrians in the area, and he
approved of the left turn lane.
Mr. Charles Pigneri, owner, 1131 East Balboa Boulevard,
appeared before the Planning Commission. He explained
that there is traffic congestion on 20th Street because
many vehicles come onto 20th Street not knowing that
the street is a dead -end street and then they have to
turn their automobiles around. Mr. Pigneri described
how the owners could have developed the area which
would have created more parking and traffic congestion
on 20th Street.

Ms. Francis Matulich, 210 - 21st Street, appeared

Mr. Bob Roubian reappeared before the Planning
Commission and agreed that the traffic congestion is
created because the vehicles enter 20th Street and then
have to turn around at the dead -end street. Mr. Roubian
and Chairman Turner discussed the variable land usages
for the site.
Ms. Jean Van Ornan, 107 - 15th Street, appeared before
the Planning Commission, and she stated her support of
the proposed project.
The public hearing was closed at this time.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Winburn
regarding the required handicapped parking spaces, Mr.
Laycock explained that Title 24 allows flexibility of
the number of handicapped parking spaces if it was
determined that one or two handicapped parking spaces
would be adequate compared to the three handicapped
parking spaces that are required by the State. Mr.
Laycock commented that one or two parking spaces may be
deleted from the proposed 41 parking spaces because
each parking space area may be increased from 8 foot, 6
inch wide to 9 foot wide.
Commissioner Koppelman commented that the proposed
project is what she had visualized would happen to
upgrade the area after the approval of the Cannery
Village/McFadden Square Specific Area Plan; that the
project is well designed and sensitive to site lines;
that there will be more than adequate parking; that the
R -2 property is an area of the parking lot rather than
the building; that the expansion and "U" turn
capability at the 20th Street intersection will keep
people off of 20th Street; that the traffic figures on
previous hotel projects show that hotel traffic
operates' throughout the day; and that many of the
aforementioned problems have been created because of
the charter boat.

assure that there is not a situation where there will
be passengers loading or unloading from a boat.
Commissioner Koppelman advised Chairman Turner that she
would support his recommendation that Resubdivision No.

Chairman Turner stated that he would support the motion
