Zone: Specific Area Plan No. 4 Applicant: Dana Smith, Newport Beach Owner: Texaco, Inc., Newport Beach Engineer: Raub, Bein, Frost & Associates, Newport Beach Community Development Director Hogan advised that although this was a continued public hearing, the plan now being presented was completely different from that originally presented. The revised plan is the result of meetings with the staff and adjacent property owners as directed by the Planning Commission at their last public hearing, in an attempt to work out differences with regard to access and to consider other plans which would provide additional parking. The problem of Page 1. COMMISSIONERS CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH � r P T P A < ; R� CALL August 21, 1975 MINUTES inuex emergency access has been worked out with the Fire Department which would provide an entry gate from Coast Highway for emergency vehicles only through the center section of the development which has been increased to a full pavement width of 25 feet between the buildings. Mr. Hogan also reviewed two additional recommended conditions. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter. Dana Smith, applicant, appeared before the Commis- sion and reviewed the proposed plan which indica- ted that the buildings would be facing the center easement, that additional guest parking would be provided in various locations throughout the development, that a fire hydrant was being provid- ed as required by the Fire Department, reviewed the emergency vehicle access and answered ques- tions of the Commission pertaining to the project. Planning Commission discussed the need for the modification on one lot because of the lot width, • design of the crash gate, installation of land- scaping by the applicant and maintenance by the City in accordance with Specific Plan #4, and access to Coast Highway from Highland Street. M. D. Turbow, property owner on the east side of Highland, appeared before the Commission and questioned the increase in number of units proposed and Community Development Director Hogan advised that the plan had been revised to elimin- ate the through street on the northerly side of the property thereby allowing room for the 9th unit. Bill Bandaruk, elected member of the Executive Board of Newport Shores, appeared before the Commission and advised that the Board felt the development would up -grade the area, however, they felt that all development should be in accordance with Specific Plan #4. The Board had voiced concern with the potential modification but felt that the resubdivision request should be approved at this time and the modification request would be looked at if and when there is a request at a later date. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed. Page 2.

RES. 928 ADOPTED Initiated by: The City of Newport Beach Page 7. COMMISSIONERS T A • T< P P� Z 3 ROIL GAIL CITY OF August 21, 1975 NEWPORT BEACH MINUTES Community Development Director Hogan advised there were retail - commercial sites within the Newport Place Planned Community which allowed the develop- ment of restaurants as a part of the retail- commercial development and because of this, the restaurants share their parking with other commercial businesses within the development.. In reviewing these standards, it was felt that as long as a restaurant did not exceed 20% of the floor area of the total commercial development on the site that the parking requirement be on the basis of one parking space per 200 sq. ft. However, on restaurants which stand alone, it was staff's feeling that the parking should be provided on the basis of the new parking standards for restaurants. Mr. Hogan reviewed minor changes to the recommended wording in the Planned Communit text. For the benefit of the Commission, Assistant Community Development Director Hewicker reviewed the existing and proposed developments on the two • sites which would be affected by this amendment. Commissioner Heather voiced some concern with the trend of the development in this particular plan- ned community and the number of restaurants w.hi.ch have evolved. She also voiced concern with the pool parking concept. Community Development Director Hogan advised that the reason for the pool parking Concept was that it does exist and has been partially developed and that leases have been entered into based on the pool parking which was previously approved for the planned community. He advised that this does not liberalize the parking for these particular restaurants beyond what now exists and in fact, if the restaurant usage were enlarged, the parking would be more restrictive. Public hearing was opened in connection with this matter and there being no one desiring to appear and be heard, the public hearing was closed.
