Shepardson, Newport Beach OWNER: Hugo Schmidt, Newport Beach The public hearing opened in conjunction with this item and Mr.cJon Shepardson, applicant, appeared..before the Planning Comiission. Mr. Shepardson described the parking problems he is having to the Planning Commission. Mr. Shepardson cited vandalism, the Bouzy Rouge employees and customers loitering in the alley during the late night hours, and the fast food restaurant that will be opening in the near. future as the reasons he has requested garage doors for the commercial parking spaces on his property. Mr. Shepardson stated he would be willing to sign an agreement with the City that the garage doors would be open during business hours. Commissioner Person informed Mr. Shepardson of the two conditions contained in the staff report stating that the applicant shall record a covenant and that the. the door or gate shall be of open construction, such as wrought iron or chain link. In the event. the property would be sold, the covenant would be on record in the County Recorder's office stating the conditions on the property. Mr. Shepardson responded to Mr. Turner's question that the main concern is the security of his property. Commissioner Turner discussed the possibility of wrought iron gates opened by electronic door openers and also wooden doors with windows. Mr. Hewicker stated windows in the garage doors would be acceptable; however, staff would prefer the garage doors be of open construction. Mr. Shepardson commented that he would control the opening and closing of the garage doors.

Mr. Hewicker stated that the City is currently drafting a regulation regarding fortune telling, palm readers, etc. and that a condition be added that this particular use would be subject to any new regulations which the City would adopt prior to the time the project was developed. There is currently a moratorium Ordinance by the,City Council that prohibits these particular uses. Mr. Hewicker informed the Planning Commission that the staff report was prepared- on the basis that this is a new project to the property. Mr. Hewicker stated that the current Fun Zone is existing without a Use Permit and is not conforming to the City's parking regulations or activities. The staff report's parking recommendation was based.on square footage, intensity of .various uses, number of employees, restaurants, arcades, and the ferris wheel and carousel rides. Mr. Hewicker stated that the staff tried to base their parking recommendation on what the Planning Commission has approved in the past in the non- conforming.areas on the Balboa Peninsula. In response to Chairman Winburn's inquiry, Mr. Hewicker replied that the maximum off -site parking distance from a particular building site is approximately 300 feet. Furthermore, the parking agreement under the same ownership or a long -term lease is considered to be from 3 to 5 years, and typically states that the leasee would have to reduce activities in the event the off -site parking would be lost. Mr. Hewicker added.that staff has various parking recommendations depending upon if the parking is for employees or customers, and generally the employee parking may be located farther from the property. Commissioner Turner asked staff if the City had a condition that granted permission to erect the ferris wheel over the easement. City Engineer Webb stated that the easement was placed on the property at the time the bulkhead was installed for pedestrian and public utility purposes many years ago. Mr. Webb commented that it is ,possible that additional requirements could be added to allow the placement of the ferris wheel in that easement. 12 n i� MINUTES October 4, 1984 The public hearing opened in connection with this item and Mr. Rick Dayton, Dayton & Associates - Architects, 224' Sapphire, Balboa Island, representing the applicants; appeared before the Planning commission.' Mr. Dayton presented a slide presentation of the proposed Fun Zone to the Planning Commission. Mr. Dayton then requested that Condition No. .25. of Resubdivision No. 724 and Condition No. 76 of Use Permit No 3115 be amended so that the proposed bridge for the existing pier could-be located perpendicular to the existing bulkhead, and not be located parallel and adjacent to the existing bulkhead as recommended by staff. Mr. Dayton then proposed alternate wording to Condition No. 26 of Use-.,Permit No. 3115, as.•follows: (1) That $15,000 be deposited directly into off -site improvements at the end of Washington Street; or (2) That the $15,000 shall be deposited by the applicant after the Coastal Commission's approval and prior to the issuance of the building permits. Mr. Dayton also recommended that Condition No. 27 of Use Permit No. 3115 be amended so that the off -site parking be for the addition only, and that the Planning Commission would determine what that amount should be. Mr. Dayton commented that the Fun Zone has been offered the use of additional parking on the Lancer Landing property on West Coast Highway. Mr. Curt Herberts, 2290 Channel Road, Newport Beach, spoke in favor of the new proposed Fun Zone. Mr. Herberts recommended and described how roof top parking could be implemented into the project. Mr. Frank Fargo, Newport Beach, proposed that parking could be allocated at the Balboa Pier as it is his opinion that the municipal parking lot is never completely filled. Mr. Tom Hyans, 217 - 19th St., Newport Beach, Central Newport Beach Community Association board member, stated that the association approves of the new proposed Fun Zone and recommended that the $15,000 be used to improve the end of Washington Street. Planning Commission Chairman Winburn stated that because there are only four Commissioners present and there are questions regarding the public easement adjacent to the bay and employee parking, she would like to continue the public hearing.

Mr. Hewicker replied that the parking spaces are at the site of the old Bayview Hotel property, and in the event the Marina should lose those parking spaces, the Marina would have to close down or find 15 more parking spaces. Mr. Hewicker stated that the Municipal parking lot in Balboa is heavily used during the summer months and staff does not feel that the Municipal lot would be a satisfactory solution for many reasons. The Balboa Inn is presently leasing 66 parking stalls from the City. Furthermore, the Coastal Commission's requirements regarding parking lot spaces and-fees have . differed from the City's recommendations in the past. An Ad Hoc Committee has discussed various plans for the Municipal parking lot but there have been no definite proposals submitted to date. Mr. Marshall Riconosciuto appeared before the Planning Commission stating that the applicants are very anxious to resolve the parking and easement problems in order to complete the project as soon as possible. Mr. Riconosciuto stated that the applicants would like to officially open,the Fun Zone next summer. A motion was made to continue the public hearing to October 18, 1984. MOTION CARRIED.
