SUBJECT: Leo Gugasian Center (PA2003 -174) ITEM NO. 3
900 -1040 West Coast Highway PA2003 -174
Development Plan and Use Permit for the redevelopment of an existing Approved
commercial center and the construction and operation of a vehicle sales
facility. The application includes a parking modification to reduce the
minimum number of parking spaces, an off -site parking agreement for a
shared parking lot on two adjacent properties, and a request to exceed the
base floor area ratio by approximately 977 square feet.
James Campbell, Senior Planner presented a brief history, noting:
• This application had been continued from October 23, 2003 for a re-
design of the plans.
• Three buildings would have been removed with construction of a
23,800 square foot building for vehicle sales, retail and office space.
• The issues at the October meeting were the excess floor area
requested beyond Code restraints, and not providing sufficient
parking.
• The applicant has re- designed the project by scaling it back. The
original included 3 new buildings and the revised project has only
two. The project includes a use permit for the vehicle sales facility in
the first building (western), which is 11,300 square feet.
• Building 2 will be 6,487 square feet and will include retail and office
uses. The existing buildings on the eastern lot (West Marine) will be
retained.
• There will be one parking lot for all the buildings.
• A revised site plan shows the common parking for both properties.
• A 1998 parking waiver that had been granted will still be maintained.
• As mentioned, the project includes a use permit for the vehicle sales
facility and staff is recommending approval based upon the design of
-At
file: //H: \Plancomm \2004 \0108.htm 02/10/2004
Planning Commission Minutes 01/08/2004 Page 10 of 18
the buildings and the fact that there will be no vehicle storage in the
parking area or vehicle service; and
. The project includes a Development Plan for the overall
redevelopment of the project site. Staff believes that the findings can
be made pursuant to the Mariners Mile Design Framework and the
Code.
. The project is short one parking space, the need is justifiable given
the proposed uses and development.
• The resolution within the packet outlines all the findings and then
distributed an exhibit with noted changes to conditions 6, 7, 17, and
elimination of 31.
• Condition 17 addresses the reciprocal access and off -site
parking agreement for the common parking facility across the
two property lines.
. The condition changes have been discussed with the applicant
prior to the meeting.
Commissioner Kiser noted that the plans listed on the conditions of
approval, the site plan dated 11/24/2003 and the other floor plans,
elevation drawings, roof plan and landscape plan are dated
01/0812004.
Mr. Campbell explained that those plans were in the previous staff
report and were not dated. We have therefore listed them with
today's date.
Commissioner Eaton referred to the previous parking agreement that
was for four tandem employee parking spaces, with the shift of
parking from the westerly parcel to the easterly parcel with this
proposed plan, those tandem spaces are no longer shown. What
happened to them, and have they been implemented to date? The
landscape plan shows a boxwood hedge in front of the auto dealer
building, but the colored rendering depicts open display; which is it
going to be?
Mr. Campbell answered that the tandem spaces are within a row of
parking that abuts the westerly side of West Marine and are
eliminated with the new proposed site plan. 42 spaces are provided
for the West Marine property within this common parking area. The
rendering is for illustrative purposes only and would not be used as
approval of the landscape plan. Sheet P1 shows the hedges in place
and is the controlling document. There are conditions of approval
that require modification of this plan to be consistent with the
Mariner's Mile Design Framework.
Commissioner Tucker, noted:
U
file: //H:\Plancomm \2004 \0108.htm 02/10/2004
Planning Commission Minutes-0- 1/08/2004 Page 11 of 18
. There are two separate legal parcels.
. How much building area would have to be reduced in order to
not be one parking space short?
. The right of way on Coast Highway is per the General Plan?
. If the Council views the widening of Coast Highway as
something they want to address on a policy basis they will, but
until they do so, it is my inclination to just move on with these
projects and assume that it won't be widened. We don't know if
it will get done in three years or thirty years, or ever. It seems a
legitimate to move ahead with the upgrading of Mariner's Mile.
Mr. Campbell answered:
. 67 square feet would have to be eliminated.
If Coast Highway is widened, the parking area would have to be
modified and will probably lose 20 spaces along the first row of
parking fronting Coast Highway.
Commissioner Tucker then referenced condition 17. The provision
states that the parking agreement shall be provided prior to any
financing, which puts them in a superior position, preserving the
agreement if the two parcels are separately conveyed. With the
deletion of the proof of recordation of the agreement, how do we
establish that has been recorded?
Ms. Clauson, Deputy Assistant Attorney, answered:
. The City Attorney's office needs to actually approve the off -site
parking agreement.
. This agreement is a condition of approval to the off -site parking
arrangement, and will insure the City that it is superior to any
financing.
. The building permit will not be issued until this condition is met.
A discussion ensued on the requirement for agreements.
Mr. Edmonston noted, at Commission query, that the City Council
has previously established guidelines for when we can require the
dedication of right -of -way even on a street like this, where it is a
Master Plan of Improvement, and they have put specific limitations on
acquisition adjacent to state highways. It was done specifically to
address issues in Mariner's Mile because of the uncertainty of the
widening.
Commissioner Tucker noted that the City Council has figured out if
1�
file: //H: \Plancomm \2004 \0108.htm 02/10/2004
Planning Commission Minutes 01/08/2004 Page 12 of 18
i
d .
the City is granting additional building area and then the City comes
in and widens the highway, the amount of severance damages and
condemnation damages might just increase because of our actions.
Once again, that is a policy call whether we sit and wait to figure out
when we are ever going to widen Coast Highway or whether we go
ahead and if an opportunity presents itself have improvement down in
the Mariner's Mile area. Hopefully, they will read the minutes and
decide if this is something they want to discuss.
Commissioner Kiser asked:
What justification did the applicant have for not combining the
parcels in order to get over the floor area ratio problem?
. Condition 23 refers to street trees, we should also reference the
Mariners Mile Design Framework.
Mr. Campbell answered:
The reason given for not combining the parcels at this time was
due to separate financing concerns of the applicant.
. Condition 23 refers to the trees within the public right -of -way.
The Mariner's Mile Design Framework does not relate to the
right -of -way trees. The other landscape conditions are
proposed per the Mariner's Mile Design Framework.
Mr. Cole asked:
. Condition 15 talks about roof equipment. On the new building,
are we clear that there will be a harmony of the roofs for the
people above as it relates to the 'fifth side of architecture'. I
want to make sure that we are clear that the roofs will be
consistent with color and design.
. Is the flat roof design on the new building consistent with the
existing building?
. Is it clear that the roof equipment is to be screened?
. I suggest that the colors of the adjoining roofs match.
Mr. Campbell answered:
. Condition 15 refers to the new buildings. The older building
roofs will stay the way they are.
. The new roofs shall be treated and painted to achieve the affect
of the photograph, which was in the prior staff report that is the
roof of the adjacent Newport Auto Sports building. We can
clarify that this condition applies to the new buildings.

Planning Commission Minutes 01/08/2004 Page 13 of 18
The condition incorporates anything on the roof would have to
be treated in some fashion. Building 1 will have one piece of
equipment on it, but the roof plans do not indicate anything on
building 2. The roof will be treated with gravel surface.
Commissioner Kiser noted that the sign plan will be handled through
a condition that the signage be done in accordance to the applicable
standards of the Mariner's Mile Overlay zone. Is it possible for it to
be conditioned that the signage plan will be brought back to the
Commission for approval? He was answered yes, that could be
added to condition 14.
James (Buzz) Person, representing the applicant, noted the following:
. The applicant owns many properties in Mariner's Mile area.
Has revised plans and have discussed conditions of approval
with staff and agree to them.
They are opposed to coming back to the Planning Commission
for sign approval as they pertain to matters within the Code in
terms of footage, size and size that is allowed.
Ms. Clauson added that review of the signs is done because it is part
of an approval of a site plan review or under specific guidelines
development, or an exception or modification to the sign code. If the
applicant has a plan to put up signs that comply with the code, the
Commission has no authority to review them as to aesthetics or size.
The Commission can add a condition that unless it specifically
complies in all respects with the Sign Code is what is authorized, any
changes would require a full review of the sign program.
Commissioner Selich noted that the guidelines in the Mariner's Mile
gives the Commission the ability to review signs of a discretionary
application.
Ms. Clauson answered if the Mariner's Mile gives that authority, then
the Planning Commission has the right to review the applicant's sign
program.
Mr. Person noted that the applicant agrees to all the findings and
conditions. He added that in terms of the equipment on the Newport
Auto Sport roof, the equipment is back against the bluff and is not
visible from the highway. At Commission inquiry, he noted that the
applicant is aware of the superiority of the parking agreement ahead
of the financing. There are two separate financial packets on these
properties, one is superior to the other.
Public comment was opened.

Mr. Campbell noted that the design guidelines do not specify review
process; however, within the Zoning Ordinance it does discuss a
development plan process, which is subject to the Planning Director's
authority for sign approvals. That application requires a public
hearing, that Development Plan is before you this evening but we do
not have the details of the signs to approve the final designs. We can
bring back a review to assure that it is compliant with the design
framework and the Code at a later date if the Commission wishes.
Commissioner Tucker iterated that it would be the Planning Director's
review. He noted that should be done by the Planning Director and
sees no reason for the Planning Commission to be involved with the
sign program.
Commissioner Kiser stated that the design guidelines allows
discretion in the approval of signage. He was answered that it is very
limited discretion and only applies in the area of pole signs where a
guideline exists. Commissioner Kiser stated he would like to see it
come back for review as the property is such a visible one.
Commissioner Tucker noted he sees no reason why the project could
not be reduced by 67 square feet so that the project is not one
parking space short.
Mr. Person answered that part of the problem is that a good portion
of the building drawings are already done. The 67 square feet
represents .27 of a parking space. It was felt between the applicant
and staff that one parking space was de minimus and not important
enough to cause a re- drawing of the working drawings. The
applicant is opposed to the reduction of the 67 square feet.
Commissioner Eaton noted that there appears to be room between
the existing building and a proposed building 2, is there room to put a
parking space in there?
Mr. Edmonston stated that the space between the buildings would
end up being perpendicular space and would not be conducive to
angled stall parking. The other thing to point out is the site plan does
not currently have provisions for trash enclosures and other things
that the applicant will eventually have to provide for. There are still
known features that have to be provided for.
Commissioner Tucker stated that it was presumptuous of the
applicant to start his working drawings before he had his approval,
but I don't think it would be that big a deal to re- capture the 67 square
feet. Since it is a fraction of a space, I am not going to make an
issue.
Public comment was closed.

Motion was made by Commissioner Kiser to approve Development
Plan No. 2003 -002 and Use Permit No. 2003 -026 subject to the
findings and conditions of approval within the draft resolution and with
the revisions to conditions 6, 7, 17, 20 and deletion of 31. Condition
1 floor plans, elevation drawings, roof plan and landscape plan
shown as dated 01/08/2004 are the ones reviewed in the prior
meeting as they are applicable to the current development. The
Planning Director can approve the signage and does not need to
come back to the Commission for review. Condition 23 was clarified
and does not need to be changed.
Commissioner Toerge noted:
. We do not have a landscape plan that matches the proposed
site plan.
. We do have a landscape plan consistent with the old
development where there was going to be new buildings on the
easterly lot.
Staff answered the landscape plan will be revised to reflect the
current site plan. The change in the project does not really affect the
landscape plan. There are planned improvements for landscaping on
the eastern property.
Continuing, Commissioner Toerge noted:
. This project is woefully short on detail compared to the other
projects we have looked at on Mariner's Mile.
. There is no real design consideration for the fifth sided
architecture of the roof. I saw the photograph and the textured
roof.
. He is very concerned to hear that the easterly buildings won't
be treated at all. They are part of the project.
. Would like to integrate the need to improve those roofs
consistent with the westerly side at this time.
. Are there any improvements to the retaining wall? We have
dealt with other properties in this area where we addressed, or
at least saw the retaining walls materials, colors.
• Where are the nautical elements to this that the design
guidelines suggest?
• There is far less detail on this project than I am accustomed to
seeing.
• For these reasons, I will not be supporting this application.
• Any time we assume some uniqueness of the ownership and
J1
file: / /H: \Plancomm\2004 \0108.htn 02/10/2004
Planning Commission Minutes 01/08/2004 Page 16 of 18
we create conditions around them, we may be up for a surprise.
• Tying the parking recordation to an act of financing, completely
ignores the possibility that the project is built without a new
loan.
• There should be some other trigger point in the event that the
property is developed without a new loan.
Ms. Clauson stated that the only concern the City has is if there is
any financing that exists that the agreement is subordinated to the
existing financing, or that if there is no financing, or if it is put on later,
that it gets recorded before any financing. It is my understanding that
it has to be recorded before the issuance of any building permits.
Continuing, Commissioner Tucker noted:
. Agrees with Commissioner Toerge's comments on the lack of
detailed plans.
. The eastern part of the project, other than a re- arrangement of
some parking spaces, really isn't proposed for new
development.
. I have no problem with leaving the existing structures as is.
. The rearrangement of the parking will be a big help and the lot
will be much better in terms of circulation.
Commissioner Eaton noted:
. 1/4 of a space is not that big a deal.
. When you get a lucrative sales tax generator in, you sometimes
don't go to quite as much detail as you would otherwise.
. I trust staff to be able to enforce those things that the
Commission would have enforced if all the details had been in
front of us.
. Because it is an auto dealer, condition 2 is important because
dealers tend to end up doing some service work, even if they
are not supposed to. That starts to use parking spaces.
. It is tempting to have more cars on display in what otherwise
should be required parking spaces.
. We need to make clear to the applicant and to staff that
condition 2 needs to be adhered to, otherwise there will be a
genuine parking problem on this site.
. Supports the application.
Commissioner Cole noted:

Language regarding the roof can be added that the roof
equipment will only be on the westerly portion as well as a
consistent color as the color on the adjacent development,
(Newport Auto Sport).
Commissioner Kiser noted that plans show the color, type of
materials are shows consistent with the main portion of the building.
Only one of the buildings has an air conditioning unit that will be
screened and consistent color.
Mr. Temple clarified that the color on the new buildings of the roofs
will be consistent with the Newport Auto Sport building next door so
the roofs adjoining one another would be consistent. If that is made a
condition than the roof of the new building will be a slightly different
color than the one next door.
Commissioner Kiser, as the maker of the motion, agreed.
Mr. Person agreed for the applicant.

RESOLUTION NO. 1625
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PLAN NO. 2003 -002 AND
USE PERMIT NO. 2003 -026 AND FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 900 -1040
W. COAST HIGHWAY (PA2003 -174).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was filed by Leo Gugasian, with respect to property
located at 900 -1040 W. Coast Highway and legally described as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map
recorded in book 83, page 13 and Parcel 1 of Parcel Map recorded in book 71 page 18,
requesting approval of Development Plan and Use Permit for the redevelopment of an
existing commercial center and the construction and operation of a vehicle sales facility. The
application includes a parking modification to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces,
an off -site parking agreement for a shared parking lot on two adjacent properties, and a
request to exceed the base floor area ratio by 977 square feet.
Section 2. A public hearing was held on October 23, 2003 and January 8, 2004 in
the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A
notice of time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the site for Retail and Service
Commercial uses. Commercial uses including vehicle sales facilities are permitted uses
within this land use category.
2. The proposed development is generally consistent with the guidelines contained within
the Mariner's Mile Strategic Vision and Design Framework with the adherence to the
attached conditions of approval. The project provides a more aesthetically pleasing roof
design through color and material selection and roof -top mechanical equipment will be
minimized and will be screened from above. The project reduces vehicular access points
to Coast Highway and incorporates desired landscape plantings. The overall design
meets the Zoning Code and should be an architectural and aesthetic improvement
compared with the existing development that it will replace.
3. The proposed vehicle sales facility subject to the conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals,
comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of
such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements in the vicinity or to
the general welfare of the city for the following reasons.
a. No vehicle service is proposed.
b. Exterior lighting will be controlled to reduce excess lighting and avoid off -site light
spillage.
c. No vehicle display within parking areas is proposed
�1
Planning Commission Resolution No.
Paqe 2 of 8
4. The project site is located within Statistical Area H4, which has a base 0.5FAR and a
maximum 0.75FAR. Commercial development in the area is approximately 0.252FAR
currently. The additional 977 square feet, when added to the development potential of
vacant and underutilized properties will not exceed 0.34FAR. Therefore, since it is not
likely that the base FAR for the statistical area will be exceeded, the requested increase of
997 square feet is not inconsistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the district in
which the site is located and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, peace,
morals, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the
neighborhood of such use; and will not be detrimental to the properties or improvements
in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the city.
5. The requested 1 space parking reduction is acceptable as the expected parking demand
for high value /low volume vehicle sales facilities will fall below that anticipated by the
Zoning Code. This conclusion is based in part upon similar facilities in the immediate
area. The proposed facility will not provide service, which would tend to increase parking
demand. The reduction of 1 parking space will not be detrimental to the general welfare of
the community.
6. The off -site lot is adjacent and shares common access and isles and will prove useful for
both properties. Due to the unified and common lot design, access to abutting roadways
will not be necessary, and therefore, no undue traffic hazards will be created. The two
properties are owned by the same person and a written agreement or restrictive covenant
will be recorded ensuring that the off -site parking will be maintained and available for the
uses located on the recipient parcel.
7. The project qualifies for a Class 3 categorical exemption from the California
Environmental Quality Act, which permits the limited number of new structures. In
urbanized areas, up to 4 buildings with up to 10,000 square feet would qualify provided
that the site is not environmentally sensitive. The project involves the demolition of 2
buildings and the construction of 2 buildings with a net increase of approximately 5,000
square feet. Traffic increases are below the 300 space threshold for the preparation of a
traffic study. The site is presently fully developed and no environmental resources are
known to exist at the site.
Section 4. Based on the findings above, the Planning Commission hereby approves
Development Plan No. 2003 -002 and Use Permit No. 2003 -026, subject to the conditions set
forth in Exhibit "A."
