This condition would provide that convenience signs such as "entrance ", "exit ", or "drive- through teller" shall have a maximum area of 6 sq. ft. per face and that said signs shall not include the name or logo of the bank use. Assistant Director - Planning Hewicker read a letter from Kathleen F. Fox which advised of the Seawind Community Association's opposition to additional signs being permitted on the Bank of America building. This opposition was based on the Association's opinion that additional signs would be distasteful, unnecessary, and could set a precedent. Public hearing was opened in connection with th' item and Dick Kent, of Sham and Kent Architects • appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Kent commented that a sign on all four sides of the Bank of America building is necessary because the building can be approached from any side. Mr. Kent then brought notice to staff's recommended condition of approval which provide that sight distance acceptable to the City Traffic Engineer shall be provided at the drive up facility exit onto the bank parking lot A aisle. Said condition would require relocation and /or modification of the column at the north- easterly corner of the building. Mr. Kent advised that the City Traffic Engineer recommen this condition because he felt that people in cars leaving the bank would not be able to see on- coming traffic because their views would be blocked by this column, It was Mr. Kent's opinion that the column is needed for aesthetic reasons and that the column would not present a safety problem because of the slow speed of t cars leaving the bank and the fact that a glimp of the street would be available through the column. City Traffic Engineer Darnell addressed the Planning Commission and reiterated his concern that the column could block the views of person • in cars exiting the facility. -5- MINUTES io E led he se s INDEX COMMISSIONERS ROLL CALL Motion Ayes X I3 MINUTES City of Newport Beach 0 October 5 1978 INDEX.

Mr. Hogan advis that staff is suggesting two possible alternati approaches to the P -C amendments; that 'is, a reduction in total development of these project and /or the initiation of a possible method of phasing the development of the projects consis- tent with traffic improvements. With respect to the possibility of a phasing of development amendment, Mr. Hogan advised that The Irvine Company has proposed revised wording of such an amendment to each Planned Community Development Plan.

David Neish, of Urban Assist, Inc., appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of The Irvine Company. Mr. Neish suggested that the phasing of development amendment to the Corporate Plaza P -C read as follows: "PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT 225,000 sq. ft. of development will be existing or under construction as of October 1, 1978.

Ron Hendrickson appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of The Irvine Company and requested that consideration of the Civic Plaza P -C be deferred because The Irvine Company is planning to refile that project for considera tion as an exception. Mr. Hendrickson advised, however, that if the Planning Commission,desires to discuss the Civic Plaza P -C this evening, The Irvine Company would suggest that the follo wording for the Civic Plaza P -C amendment be considered: -10- MINUTES win INDEX • a COMMISSIONERS F vas} vs o�4 1c ��O z City of Newport Beach Artnhar 5. 1978 ROIL CALL - "PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT 44,000 sq. ft. of development will be existing or under construction as of October 1, 1978.

Deborah Allen, 1021 White Sails Way, Corona del appeared before the Planning Commission. Ms. Al voiced concern with The Irvine Company's suggest added wording to the phasing of development amendment as it relates to permitting developmen if the property owner has agreed.to provide adequate funding in addition to other available funding sources to implement the planned traffi.c mitigation measures. Ms. Allen felt that development should not take place until the road are constructed so it can be seen whether the roads can support more traffic, or until the Traffic Model tests reveal that the traffic generated from these buildings can be supported by the roads. Daniel Emory, 2250 Golden Circle, Newport Beach appeared before the Planning Commission. Mr. Emory voiced concern about.the identification of traffic mitigation measures far removed from a project site in such a way as to indicate . that the implementation of a project will effectuate the traffic mitigation measure. -11- MINUTES Ma le ed s' INDEX COMMISSIONERS City of Newport Beach October 5, 1978 ROLL CALL Tom Morrissey appeared before the Planning. Commission on behalf of Aeronutronic Ford and commented that the staff report lists the major proposed use for the undeveloped portion of the Aeronutronic Ford site as residential use. Mr. Morrissey pointed out that to date Aeronutronic Ford has not filed for residential use on that site, and that the current development plan is a use permit for industrial development on the entire site. He added that although they feel it would be a positive step in traffic reduction to convert most of the unused site to residential, they have not completed the necessa arrangements.outside the planning process to pursue residential development. Further, Mr. Morrissey advised that until such time as th arrangements are completed, he could not agree to aresidential designation on the site. Mr. Morrissey then spoke in opposition to the revised wording of the phasing of development amendment as proposed by The Irvine Company as he felt it would favor,those parties who have developed their land the fastest and penalize the parties who have minimized their growth. He then requested that action on the Aeronutroni Ford property be postponed for 60 days, at which time it is assumed that a more - specific pl will be available for consideration. Kevin Hanson appeared before the Planning Commission on behalf of Emkay Development and Realty Company and pointed out that Emkay has allowed its property to be underbuilt by approximately 200,000 sq. ft.; that there are within the project four different ownerships of separate parcels; and that the Emkay project was exempted under the Traffic Ordinance. He then requested clarification of the meaning of i revised wording proposed by The Irvine Company for the P -C amendments.

Such demonstration may be made by the presentation of a phasing plan consistent with the Circulation Element of the Newport Beach General Plan." In clarifying the intent of this motion, the Planning Commission noted that it does not intend to use the criteria of the Traffic Phasing Ordinance, but rather to apply a test of "reasonableness" to the review of the phasing plans and also that it would like to consider the phasing plans as soon as possible. Planning Commission further indicated that it feels that Aeronutronic Ford should be considered with a total approved development plan of 2,653,000 sq. ft.; that the square footage of development that would have been allowed in areas identified as "Existing Development /Under Construction" that was not developed should be considered; and that Civic Plaza should be exempted from the requirements of this amendment.

Therefore, Mr. Hogan advised that the Traffic Study includes additional traffic in the projection that has not been approved and does not include some traffic that has been approved. Community Development Director Hogan expressed that any suggestions that staff has made with regard.to recommended findings, approval or disapproval, etc. have been made as objectively as possible based on existing regulations, laws, and written policies. He stressed that staff has not tried to establish any policy as related to • this development whether in favor of it or in opposition to it. Public hearing was opened in connection with this item and Sue Ficker, 110 9th Street, Balboa appeared before the Planning Commission and stated that she was the appellant on behalf of the Central Newport Beach Community Association and SPON on the Corporate Plaza plans as it was proposed in 1975.
