possible conflict of interest.
William Laycock, Current Planning Manager, addressed staffs
recommended revisions to Exhibit W as stated in the staff
report: revised Condition No. 5 with respect to screening the
view of the proposed temporary building with landscaping; and
added Condition No. 8 with respect to the utilization of parking
spaces at the La Biarritz Restaurant. Mr. Laycock requested that
Condition No. 8 be revised to state "That the applicant shall
maintain the ability to utilize the parking spaces 'between 8:00
a.m. and 11:00 a.m. daily' at the La Biarritz Restaurant.. ".
The public hearing was opened in connection with this item, and
Mrs. Betty Grubb Rhea, past President of the Board of Realtors;
appeared before the Planning Commission. Mrs. Rhea advised
the Commission that there is an urgent demand for a larger
facility based on the participation, responsibilities, and activities
•
of the Board of Realtors so as to meet the needs of their
members.
Commissioner Di Sano asked Mrs. Rhea if the Board of Realtors
would continue to search for a larger facility if the Commission
approved the subject application. Mrs. Rhea replied positively,
and she explained that the Board of Realtors started to
investigate other sites three years ago.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover, Mrs.
Rhea explained that the Board of Realtors has requested that
the modular building be granted for two years instead of the
original request of three years.
Mrs. Jane McGiffin, property owner of 340 North Newport
Boulevard, appeared before the Planning Commission. Mrs.
McGiffin asked if the modular building would provide two
separate restrooms. Chairman Pomeroy replied to the negative.
James Hewicker, Planning Director, suggested that Mrs. McGiffin
contact the Building Department with regard to her concerns
pertaining to restrooms. Mrs. McGiffin advised that available
rental office space in the adjacent area could provide additional
office space, and she stated that the modular building would not

Bill Edwards, architect for the applicant, appeared before the
Planning Commission. Mr. Edwards stated that to improve the
aesthetics of the site, six mature trees in 36 inch planter boxes
will be installed, and the exterior of the structure would be
compatible with the existing structure.
Mrs. Betty Jo Bailey appeared before the Planning Commission
on behalf of the applicant. Mrs. Bailey explained that the Board
of Realtors did not accept an offer to rent office space in an
adjacent office building on the basis that the services that the
Board provides would be more convenient and efficient to the
members if the offices would be located on the same site.
There being no others desiring to appear and be heard, the
public hearing was closed at this time.
Commissioner Di Sano stated that his concerns would be that the
temporary structure would be out of keeping with the style and
quality of commercial development within the area as stated in
Finding No. 1, Exhibit 'B ", and there is the possibility that the
applicant could request an extension beyond two years inasmuch
as the the purpose is not project oriented.
The public hearing was reopened at this time. In response to a
question posed by Commissioner Merrill, Mr. Edwards explained
that the proposed parking plan is the most convenient for the
membership. Following a discussion with Mr. Edwards,
Commissioner Merrill concluded that inasmuch as no water,
sewer, or gas would be provided in the temporary structure, that
only an electrical line would be required. Mr. Hewicker explained
that after considering other possible locations on the site for the
installation of the modular unit, staff recommends the location
requested by the applicant.
Chairman Pomeroy suggested that the temporary modular
building be lowered by removing the axles, wheels and hubs. He
addressed the impact that a temporary building has on an area,
and that the Board did not take aggressive action to locate
another facility during the past two years.
Commissioner Glover addressed her concerns with regard to the
Board taking so long to locate another facility, and she
commented that if the Board were allowed an additional two
•
years to locate to another site, there may not be a sense of
emergency.

James Hewicker, Planning Director, addressed the concerns that
the Planning Commission previously expressed regarding the fee
that the operators of the parking structure were charging
customers to park their automobiles. He explained that Parker's
Seafood Restaurant validates 100 percent of the parking fee and
Newport Landing Restaurant validates 75 percent of the parking
fee.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover with
respect to previous concerns regarding noise, Mr. Hewicker
explained that conditions are included in the use permits that
control the amount of noise which can be emanated from the
buildings at the property lines. Mr. Hewicker stated that
following a complaint made by a Balboa Island resident who has
reported noise from the Parker's Seafood Grill Restaurant, Greg
Armstrong, the Police Department's Environmental Affairs
Officer, investigated the complaint. He stated that Mr. Armstrong
submitted a memo to the. Planning Department, and staff
forwarded the memo to the applicants.
Mr. Hewicker stated that the required barricades and landscaping
at the corner of the parking structure to prevent automobiles
from backing across the sidewalk are currently installed on the
site.
Mr. David Eales, representing BA Mortgage and Edgewater
Place, and Doug Salisbury, representing Salisbury Enterprises and
Landing Associates, appeared before the Planning Commission.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover
regarding noise, Mr. Eales stated that the restaurant has
complied with the conditions regarding the doors and windows
being closed when live entertainment is in progress, and the only
complaint received was from the Balboa Island resident.
Ms. Diane Koury, Regional Manager for Stouffer's Restaurant,
appeared before the Planning Commission. Ms. Koury stated
that she was aware that a resident had made a complaint to the
manager on a Sunday afternoon but she did not have specific
details regarding the complaint, and she was not informed that
the resident had made a noise complaint to the Police
Department. Ms. Koury advised that since March, the speakers

serve patio customers; and the applicant has complied with the
conditions that were approved at the Planning Commission
meeting on March 9, 1989.
Mr. Hewicker referred to Condition No. 65 of Use Permit No.
3122, approved by the Planning Commission on May 9, 1985,
which states "That all music and live entertainment shall be
confined to the interior of the building and all windows and
doors of the restaurant and lounge shall remain closed during
such activities:'. Mr. HeMcker addressed the activity that occurs
by the employees to meet the demands of the customers on the
outside patio; however, he explained that it was the intent of the
staff and the Planning Commission when the condition was
approved that during the hours of entertainment, the doors and
windows are to remain closed so the sound does not leave the
building. Chairman Pomeroy concurred, and he explained that
the previous noise complaints had been received during the
evening hours but the condition is clear that no matter when
there is live entertainment, the doors and windows are required
• to be closed.
Commissioner Di Sano addressed comments that have been made
by the City Attorney's Office that a Noise Ordinance is being
proposed similar to the Noise Ordinance instituted by the County
of Orange. Mr. Hewicker explained that the City does not have
noise standards that are imposed by an Ordinance. He stated
that when a sound engineer was contacted and made specific
recommendations to the Planning Commission explaining
monitors that would govern the noise, the Planning Commission
did not impose conditions inasmuch as the sound monitors were
very expensive. Mr. Hewicker concurred that a Noise Ordinance
would address all of the restaurants in the City.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay
regarding the trash storage, and staff's suggestion to revise
Condition No. 37, Use Permit No. 3122, Mr. Eales explained that
Parker's Seafood Grill Restaurant will be certain that no odor
emits from the storage room or keys will be given to the tenants
so the door will be closed.
Commissioner Di Sano addressed the current location of the
handicapped parking spaces. Mr. Eales explained that one
handicapped parking space is currently directly behind the
0 11111111 Newport Landing Restaurant and two handicapped parking spaces
are located in the abandoned alley adjacent to the parking

structure. Mr. Eales stated that the four required handicapped
parking spaces behind the Newport Landing Restaurant would
not be a problem as far as Edgewater Place is concerned.
Mr. Salisbury of Newport Landing Restaurant made the following
comments regarding the handicapped parking spaces. He said
that the temporary handicapped parking plan for three
handicapped parking spaces that was implemented in June, 1989,
has been successful with the exception of delivery trucks hitting
the landscape barricade, and he recommended that a permanent
masonry planter be installed if the temporary parking plan is
implemented. Mr. Salisbury explained that the primary
restrictions of four handicapped parking spaces behind Newport
Landing Restaurant are the delivery trucks that block the alley;
there are four fuel storage tanks located directly beneath the
area that is recommended for the parking spaces; and the
property owner, Landing Associates, would have the liability of
handicapped parking spaces located on a cement slab constructed
20 years ago. He stated that Landing Associates would be
responsible for the taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, and would
pay a significant amount of annual ground rental to the fee
owners of the property. He said that the total parcel of land
including the sidewalk area and the dedicated easement in front .
of the Newport Landing Restaurant comprises of about 2,500
square feet. Mr. Salisbury explained that the approval of the
Newport Landing Restaurant was based on off -site parking
requirements, amd 5 compact parking spaces located on the
subject site. He further explained that the requirement for
handicapped parking spaces is a condition on Edgewater Place
(Use Permit No. 3122, Condition No. 51), which states that the
City Traffic Engineer is required to approve the handicapped
parking spaces and shall be behind the Newport Landing
Restaurant.
Mr. Salisbury suggested that Use Permit No. 3076 and Use
Permit No. 3122 be separate agenda items in the future
inasmuch as each applicant has a different interest in the
property, and each applicant would have an opportunity to speak
individually about the issues.
I I I I I I I Mr. Salisbury stated that the requirement for handicapped
parking is not included in Use Permit No. 3076 (Newport
• Landing); there has not been an agreement between the property
owners of Edgewater Place and Newport Landing Marina to
allow the use of the area to meet the handicapped parking

requirement of Edgewater Place's use permit; the property was
leased to Waterfront Enterprises which is the restaurant tenant
that operates Newport Landing Restaurant; neither the City nor
Edgewater Place has the right to take private property for the
use of another project and to require that landowner to bear the
expense of renting the land at a substantial cost.
Mr. Salisbury suggested that the two handicapped parking stalls
located parallel to the parking structure remain and if there is
a requirement for more handicapped parking spaces, said spaces
be installed in the parking structure which would require the
installation of a handicapped lift from the entry level down to
grade or a ramp that would have an appropriate decline for a
wheelchair.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover, Mr.
Salisbury explained that he represents Landing Associates, the
parry that has the leasehold interest in the Newport Landing
Marina parcel. Mr. Salisbury explained that Newport Landing
•
Restaurant is a corporation that is owned and operated under
Waterfront Enterprises, Inc., and is a tenant of Landing
Associates.
In response to questions posed by Commissioner Glover, Mr.
Salisbury explained that if Newport Landing Restaurant were
evaluated independently, only two handicapped parking spaces
would be required based on the square footage of the restaurant.
Mr. Salisbury explained that all of the Newport Landing
Restaurant parking is contained in the parking structure;
however, the original Use Permit No. 3076 required five compact
parking spaces at the rear of Newport Landing Restaurant that
were later converted into five handicapped parking spaces after
Use Permit No. 3122 (Edgewater Place) was approved. Mr.
Salisbury stated that Newport Landing Restaurant does not have
the required two handicapped parking spaces on -site.
Mr. Hewicker reviewed the original projects as they were
submitted by Mark Howard, the original applicant and owner.
Mr. Hewicker explained that the conditions on the two projects
are associated and have been identified by the City as companion
projects.
William Laycock, Current Planning Manager, referred to the staff
report of May 9, 1985, when the original Use Permit No. 3122
(Edgewater Place) was presented to the Planning Commission.

He explained that when Use Permit No. 3076 for the Newport
Landing Restaurant was approved, one of the requirements was
to come back to the Planning Commission for review at the
same time as Edgewater Place was to come before the Planning
Commission. He explained that at that time, Use Permit No.
3122 and Use Permit No. 3076 were approved again on May 9,
1985. He indicated that there were conditions that were imposed
on both of the use permits inasmuch as all of the parking spaces
for Edgewater Place and the Newport Landing Restaurant,
excluding the five handicapped parking spaces, were in the
parking structure and the staff report reflects the five
handicapped parking spaces located on the Newport Landing
Restaurant site. Mr. Laycock stated that the approved plot plan
of Use Permit No. 3122 and Use Permit No. 3076 in 1985 that
is on display, depicts five handicapped parking spaces behind
Newport Landing Restaurant. He stated that Mr. Howard, the
former owner of the Newport Landing property, approved where
the five handicapped parking spaces would be located. Mr.
Laycock advised that the Building Department has subsequently
waived one handicapped parking space; therefore, four
handicapped parking spaces are required and staff suggests that
the four handicapped parking spaces be located behind the
Newport Landing Restaurant.
Mr. Salisbury objected to the legal ramifications based on the
advise of their legal counsel. He explained that Newport
Landing accommodated the temporary handicapped parking plan,
painted the parking stalls, installed signs, maintained the
landscape barriers, and that Newport Landing has made an effort
to reach an agreement that could work for both projects.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy regarding
the approved parking plan, Mr. Salisbury explained that the
parking plan was approved prior to when he became involved
with Newport Landing in December, 1988.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill
regarding the two handicapped parking spaces that are required
for Newport Landing Restaurant, Mr. Salisbury explained that
said parking spaces could be installed in the parking structure
inasmuch as 18 additional parking spaces will be available. Mr.
Salisbury suggested that said two parking spaces could also be
located outside of the parking structure at grade level as existing,
and that two handicapped parking spaces could be implemented
at the entry level of the parking structure, which would require

the removal of six parking spaces.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill, Rich
Edmonton, City Traffic Engineer, explained that the concern to
allow handicapped parking parallel to the parking structure is
that automobiles would back out on to Adams Street, and the
area directly behind the Newport Landing Restaurant allows
automobiles to back out of a parking space without entering the
street.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay
regarding requiring the four handicapped "parking spaces in the
parking structure, Mr. Edmonton stated that staff would not
object to said parking spaces as long as the spaces would be
independently accessible, and he described the number of parking
spaces that would have to be removed if handicapped parking
were provided in the parking structure.
In response to a question posed by Chairman Pomeroy, Mr.
Edmonton explained that four handicapped parking spaces would
fit behind the Newport Landing Restaurant.
Commissioner Merrill and Mr. Salisbury discussed regulations
that could be imposed on delivery trucks so as to provide access
to the handicapped parking spaces behind the Newport Landing
Restaurant facility.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay
regarding what the State Law states in respect to valet parking
for the handicapped, Mr. Edmonton explained that the State
Department of Rehabilitation would accept valet parking in the
parking structure as long as there would be accessible
handicapped parking for the site; however, all of the handicapped
parking would not be allowed to be valet parked.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Merrill, Mr.
Edmonston explained that the Department of Rehabilitation
advised that inasmuch as there are handicapped person that
have special equipment on their vehicles, valets would be
prohibited from parking said vehicles.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Di Sano, Mr.
Hewicker discussed the 18 parking spaces that have been

concurred with Chairman Pomeroy, that said findings and
conditions take precedence over subsequent agreements between

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover, Ms.
Flory explained that it is appropriate to consider the combined
use permits based on the two projects' parking requirements.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Debay
regarding the feasibility of an agreement that could be reached
between the applicants regarding shared liability of the
handicapped parking spaces, Mr. Salisbury explained that if the
projects would be accessed independently, Newport Landing
Restaurant would be required to provide two handicapped

parking spaces, and the number of parking spaces for Edgewater
Place would be greater. Mr. Salisbury explained why the
Newport Landing Restaurant objects to the handicapped parking
spaces located behind Newport Landing Restaurant as previously
stated.
Mr. Hewicker addressed the circulation of automobiles parked

Hewicker suggested that a finding be added suggesting that a left
turn lane is not required. Commissioner Di Sano added Finding
No. 14 stating that "Upon further review by the Public Works
Department, Condition No. 49 of Use Permit No. 3122 does not
need to be implemented; therefore, the bond to cover the costs
of providing a left turn lane on East Balboa Boulevard can be

In response to a question posed by Commissioner Glover
regarding the removal of parking lifts from in front of the
elevators on the ground floor and the installation of a manual
override on the elevator doors as stated in the staff report, Mr.
Hewicker explained that because of the removal of the
requirement for a left turn parking lane on East Balboa
Boulevard, there would be a surplus of 18 parking spaces in the
parking structure, so the applicant is free to remove some of the
lifts in order to increase the accessibility to the parking structure.
Commissioner Merrill referred to Condition No. 51 of Use
Permit No. 3122, approved on May 9, 1985, regarding
handicapped parking, and he asked if that condition is what is
currently proposed inasmuch as the handicapped parking plan
shall be provided in a manner and quantity approved by the City

3122, Edgewater Place, Condition No. 51, was replaced by Use
Permit No. 3076, Newport Landing, Condition No. 37 (Revised)
