2004. Subsequent to the preparation of the responses to comments, the Planning
Commission directed staff to prepare responses to additional comments received during
the process of evaluating the Draft EIR. The additional responses were presented in
staff reports and testimony by City staff and consultants who prepared the Draft EIR and
were considered by the Planning Commission. These additional responses to
comments augment the Response to Comments document and are incorporated
therein. The augmented Response to Comment document has been distributed
separately due to bulk and is hereby designated as EXHIBIT EIR -2 of this Resolution as
if fully set herein. The Planning Commission considered all comments and responses
during its review of the Environmental Impact Report and project, and the process did
not raise significant new information of a significant environmental impact that would
warrant revision of the EIR or recirculation of the EIR for additional public input and/or
comment; and
WHEREAS, on May 20, 2004, August 19, 2004, October 21, 2004, November
18, 2004 and December 9, 2004, the Planning Commission held noticed public hearings

Planning Commission at the hearings. Responsible and trustee agencies and the public
have been given an opportunity to review and comment on the adequacy of the final
EIR; and
WHEREAS, the draft and final EIR analyzes project — related impacts, potential
cumulative impacts, identifies feasible mitigation measures and discusses project
alternatives as required by CEQA.
WHEREAS, the Final Environmental Impact Report identifies potential significant
impacts to the environment and certain mitigation measures designed to reduce or
avoid these impacts to a less than significant level. The applicant revised the application
during the public review process by reducing the requested net increase in gross floor
area from 35,948 to 21,741 square feet to promote the compatibility of the project and
reduce impacts of the project. Additionally, proposed parking for the project was
changed to reduce on -site parking within a proposed underground parking garage and
increase off - street parking at Newport Harbor High School;

RESOLUTION NO. 1655
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2003 -001, CODE
AMENDMENT NO. 2003 -002 AND USE PERMIT NO. 2002 -056 FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 600 ST. ANDREWS ROAD (PA2002 -265).
WHEREAS, an application was filed by St. Andrews Presbyterian Church for
property identified as 600 St. Andrews Road located at the southwesterly corner of the
intersection of 15"' Street and St. Andrews Road. The application requests approval of a
General Plan Amendment to increase the maximum allowable gross floor area that can be
developed at the site. The application also includes a request to change the zoning district
of the site from R -1 and R -2 to GEIF (Government, Educational and Institutional
Facilities). Finally, the application includes a Use Permit to allow the demolition and
replacement of Church buildings and the construction of a new Youth and Family
Center with a gymnasium; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
requirements, an Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2003081065)
was prepared and evaluated during the review of the proposed project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1654 finding that
the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared in accordance with applicable law
with a recommendation that the City Council certify the EIR; and
WHEREAS, on May 20, 2004, August 19, 2004, October 21, 2004, November
18, 2004 and December 9, 2004, the Planning Commission held public hearings at
which time the overall project application, supplemental materials, technical reports,
architectural plans and final EIR were considered. Notice of time, place and purpose of
the public hearings was given in accordance with applicable laws and testimony was
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the hearings;
Now therefore, the Planning Commission hereby resolves as follows:
Section No. 1: The Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. As part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach General Plan,
the Land Use Element has been prepared which sets forth objectives, supporting
policies and limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach and designates
the general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land and
building intensities in a number of ways, including floor area limitations.
2. The current gross floor area limit within the Land Use Element of the General Plan
for the project site is 100,428 gross square feet. T,, his was, arrest! mate _ of_the.,total..,,. - The "a
gross floor area developed prior to 1987 on the St Andrews property. Prior to 1987,
there was no floor area limit applicable to the St. Andrew's property nor was there a
42A . 2 I
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1655
Page 2 of 23
specific floor area limit established with prior project approvals (Use Permit No. 822).
The Land Use Element included this floor area as a maximum intensity limit and no
additional floor area was projected for future additions. Floor area estimates that were
included in the update of the Land Use Element in 1988 were based upon available
information to the City at that time, which included building permits, building plans, air
photographs and field reconnaissance. With the adoption of the 1988 Land Use
Element, the City acknowledged that every care was taken in the preparation of the
floor area estimates given the limits of the source information and that there was a
possibility for errors. A licensed architect has evaluated the buildings on the St
Andrew's property and represents the total gross floor area of the property to be
104,440 square feet. The City has no evidence to suggest that the total area identified
by the architect is incorrect. Furthermore, the total gross floor area of the property has
not changed from 1987 as no permits for additions have been granted since that time.
Therefore, the difference between the 1987 estimate and the actual gross floor area
(4,012 sq. ft.) is attributable to an error in the 1987 estimate. Finally, increasing the
1987 estimate by this amount to more accurately reflect the total gross floor area does
not constitute an increase in permitted entitlement.
3. The General Plan provides for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools,
employment, recreation areas, public facilities, churches and neighborhood
shopping centers are in close proximity to each resident of the community. The
proposed General Plan Amendment does not impact the diversity of land uses as it
only requests an increase in gross floor area to be used for religious assembly,
incidental religious education and youth programs that presently occur at the site.
The application does not include the introduction of new uses inconsistent with the
Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities land use designation of the
site.
4. The City s General Plan dictates that the City insure redevelopment of older or
underutilized properties and preserve the value of property by allowing for some
modest growth, while maintaining acceptable levels of traffic service. The net_ -. oeremedepo)ea cons stems

ceteoeaana
undesirable levels of service of the circulation system based upon the traffic study oatetetl:au�rana
prepared for the project.
5. The General Plan calls for the siting of new buildings and structures to be controlled
and regulated to ensure, to the extent practical, the preservation of public views, the
preservation of unique natural resources, and to minimize the alteration of natural
landforms along bluffs and cliffs. No public views exist through or across the subject
property and no natural landforms presently exist at the site.
6. The City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate
development standards to ensure that the quality and character of residential
neighborhoods are maintained and that non - residential projects are aesthetically
pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City maintains and
16
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1655
Page 3 of 23
implements development standards through the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map.
The proposed project includes the rezoning of the site from R -1 & R -2 to GEIF. This
change will eliminate residential development standards presently applicable to the
institutional uses and buildings that are developed and proposed for the site.
Residential development standards are not appropriate nor are they intended to be
applicable to institutional uses and the GEIF (Governmental, Educational and
Institutional Facilities) zone is intended to implement the General Plan land use
designation applicable to the site of Governmental, Educational and Institutional
Facilities.
The 21,741 gross square foot expansion of the religious institutional buildings and
use as proposed while operating under the proposed conditions it would be operated
and/or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the
proposed district in which the site is located; 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 based upon the following parameters:
a) The project does not provide sufficient off - street parking at the project site in
accordance with the Municipal Code if the various buildings are used for
assembly or other functions concurrently. The applicant desires to have
concurrent occupancy of various buildings and rooms within the overall campus.
Limits on the overall site occupancy based upon parking availability are
absolutely necessary to find that the expanded facility is compatible with the
community.
b) St. Andrews Church has offered overall campus occupancy limitations that
fluctuate during the week to promote neighborhood compatibility by reducing
traffic and parking demands while providing sufficient flexibility for continued use
and prosperity of the congregation. At times, these occupancy limits are less than
the available parking might otherwise allow using a 3 persons per parked vehicle
ratio based upon the parking standard for religious assembly uses within the
Municipal Code. The reduced occupancy standards will reduce the possible
intensity of activity during the evening hours to be more compatible with the
surrounding residential neighborhood.
c) Notwithstanding the occupancy limits and resulting reduced parking demand, the
project site can generate a need for parking that exceeds available off -street
supply as evidenced I _99-street parking conflicts_ experienced in the.. area.. for - oecacae: m
many years. Therefore, the project must provide a minimum of 600 off - street
parking spaces for the use of which a minimum of 250 spaces and no more than
290 spaces will be on site. The balance of the parking spaces (a minimum of
315) must be developed within the 15c^ Street parking lot at Newport Harbor High
School for the use of Newport Mesa School District and St. Andrews Church.
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1655
Page 4 of 23
d) The additional entitlement of 21,741 square feet of gross floor area would not be
recommended for approval without the provision of parking as described in this
resolution and as required pursuant to the conditions of approval.
e) The reduction of on -site parking spaces reduces the amount of grading
associated with the excavation of the proposed subterranean garage. This
change in the project reduces air emissions and potential air quality impacts
associated with the project even though the original project did not create a
significant environmental impact with respect to air quality.
f) The parking arrangement described herein must be accomplished by a written
parking agreement with the Newport Mesa School District for a term of no less
than 30 years. Additionally, the parking agreement must be in place prior to
approval of the General Plan Amendment, or if it is not, the General Plan
entitlement, and consequently the Use Permit, must not be effective without first
obtaining a Development Agreement ensuring that a satisfactory parking
agreement with the School District is obtained prior to issuing any building
permits for the expansion project. The parking agreement must include the
increased parking within the le Street parking lot at Newport Harbor High
School as noted above.
g) The project as conditioned will provide better parking management and
monitoring provisions, which should increase the efficient use of off- street
parking facilities, reduce on- street parking demands, re- direct traffic generated by
the Church away from sensitive residential streets and reduce parking conflicts
created by traffic and parked vehicles from both the Church and Newport Harbor
High School. These factors are considered beneficial and will help preserve and
enhance the single family residential area abutting the project site and would not
otherwise be realized without project approval.
h) The existing use of the site as authorized and regulated by Use Permit No. 822
generates neighborhood compatibility issues due to the intensity of use of the
site. Specifically, noise, traffic and parking on streets in the residential area
impact area residents negatively from time to time. Conditions of approval within
the existing use permit are not adequate to ensure neighborhood compatibility at
all times. Although the proposed project is larger in area and will likely lead to
increased use of the site that will affect the neighborhood, the project as
conditioned will be a benefit to the community and improve the compatibility of
the project due to the imposition of the proposed conditions that are believed to
be superior to those of Use Permit No. 822. Operational limitations coupled with
enhanced reporting/monitoring provisions, increased parking supply available to
the broader neighborhood and physical changes to the site (including the
gymnasium to enclose outdoor activities, lighting subject to current regulations
and the. Clay Street wall to discourage street parking and improve sound
attenuation) will mitigate existing conditions and the impact of future activities.

8. The Final EIR includes responses to comments received on the Draft EIR and all
comments and responses have been considered by the Planning Commission
throughout the evaluation of the proposed project. The issues raised by the
comment and responses to comments process did not raise significant new
information of a significant environmental impact that would warrant revision of the
EIR or recirculation of the EIR for additional public input and /or comment.
9. Conditions of project approval attached include the mitigation measures identified in
the EIR. Several mitigation measures were modified and /or replaced during the
public review process. In each instance where a mitigation measure was replaced,
the replacement condition provides no less protection of the environment and all are
considered feasible to implement. Several mitigation measures were amended as
the project evolved during the public review process to reflect reductions in area and
increases in overall parking supply. For instance, the allowed occupancy levels of
the ghurch site was made a function ofj�vailable_parking. The amended-mitigation _:
measures as reflected in the final conditions of approval provide the same level of
environmental protection and are no less feasible to implement. The replacement
and changes to the mitigation measures, and comments related thereto, were
evaluated by the Commission during noticed public hearings and it was determined
that the changed mitigation measures would not increase the severity of potential
environmental impacts nor create any, therefore, recirculation of the EIR was not
necessary.
10.A Traffic Study was prepared by Kimley Horn and Associates under the direction
and supervision of the City Transportation /Development Services Manager (City
Traffic Engineer) in accordance with the requirements of the Traffic Phasing
Ordinance (TPO). The study found that the originally proposed project consisting of
approximately 36,000 gross square feet (net increase) would not cause the Level of
Service of the study intersections to deteriorate below a Level of Service D. The
reduction of the proposed project to no more than 21,741 gross square feet (net
increase) generates fewer trips and since the project average daily trip increase
attributable to the smaller project is below 300, the project is exempt from the TPO.
11. Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A -18 requires all proposed General Plan
Amendments to be reviewed to determine if the square footage, peak hour vehicle
trip or dwelling unit thresholds have been exceeded and a vote by the public is
required. Voter approval of the project is not required as the project represents a
projected increase of 15 — A.M. and 15— P.M. peak hour trips, 21,741 gross square
feet of non - residential floor area and zero residential units. These increases do not
cumulatively exceed Charter Section 423 thresholds for a vote as there are no
previous amendments approved for Statistical Area H -3. The project will be tracked
as a prior amendment per Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A -18.

Dear Mr. Campbell
I have reviewed the revised Resolution No. 1655 forwarded to me. Enclosed is one minor
correction.
As stated in my letter of January 2&, the neighbors are still strongly opposed to the project
and therefore still respectively disagree with many of the findings. In addition and to repeat certain
of those comments:
1. The neighbors strongly disagree with setting occupancy limits based on a 3 person
per vehicle ratio based on the evidence the actual utilization is far less.
2. In paragraph 6(h) of the conditions, the neighbors do not believe there is any effective
"monitoring ", only reporting by the Church.
3. We are concerned that the definition of a "few exceptions for holidays" is vague.
4. It was our understanding that before the project actually was undertaken the School
District Agreement had to be in place. The condition as presently drafted seems to say that the
demolition and/or grading permits could be issued prior to that Agreement being in place.
I presume you will forward these to the Commission.
Very truly yours,
r�

Section No. 1: The Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. As part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach General Plan,
the Land Use Element has been prepared which, sets forth objectives,_ supporting_
policies and limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach and designates
the general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land and
building intensities in a number of ways, including floor area limitations.

City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1655... -
Page 2 of 23
3. The General Plan provides for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools,
employment, recreation areas, public facilities, Qurches _ and neighborhood_ oareuaccmuldWs — �
shopping centers are in close proximity to each resident of the community. The
proposed General Plan Amendment does not impact the diversity of land uses as it
only requests an increase in gross floor area to be used for religious assembly,
incidental religious education and youth programs that presently occur at the site.
The application does not include the introduction of new uses inconsistent with the
Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities land use designation of the
site.
4 ^The City's General Plan dictates that the City insure redevelopment of older or
underutilized properties and preserve the value of property by allowing for some
modest growth, while maintaining acceptable levels of traffic service. The project
consists of -g_net increase in the total development allocation_ of 21,741. gross.square._
feet, which will not result in undesirable levels of service of the circulation system
based upon the traffic study prepared for the project.
The General Plan calls for the siting of new buildings and structures to be controlled
and regulated to ensure, to the extent practical, the preservation of public views, the .
preservation of unique natural resources, and to minimize the alteration of natural
landforms along bluffs and cliffs. No public views exist through or across the subject
property and no natural landforms presently exist at the site.
6. The City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate
development standards to ensure that the quality and character of residential
neighborhoods are maintained and that non - residential projects are aesthetically
pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City maintains and
4q
City of Newport Beach
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1655 - Dekietl:_
Page 3 of 23
implements development standards through the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map.
The proposed project includes the rezoning of the site from R -1 & R -2 to GEIF. This
change will eliminate residential development standards presently applicable to the
institutional uses and buildings that are developed and proposed for the site.
Residential development standards are not appropriate nor are they intended to be
applicable to institutional uses and the GEIF (Governmental, Educational and
Institutional Facilities) zone is intended to implement the General Plan land use
designation applicable to the site of Governmental, Educational and Institutional
Facilities.
7. The 21,741 gross square foot expansion of the religious institutional buildings and
use as proposed while operating under the proposed conditions it would be operated
and/or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan and the purpose of the
proposed district in which the site is located; 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 based upon the following parameters:
a) The project does not provide sufficient off- street parking. at the project site in
accordance with the Municipal Code if the various buildings are used for
assembly or other functions concurrently. The applicant desires to have
concurrent occupancy of various buildings and rooms within the overall campus.
Limits on the overall site occupancy based upon parking availability are
absolutely necessary to find that the expanded facility is compatible with the
community.
b) St. Andrews Church has offered overall campus occupancy limitations that
fluctuate during the week to promote neighborhood compatibility by reducing
traffic and parking demands while providing sufficient flexibility for continued use
and prosperity of the congregation. At times, these occupancy limits are less than
the available parking might otherwise allow using a 3 persons per parked vehicle
ratio based upon the parking standard for religious assembly uses within the
Municipal Code. The reduced occupancy standards will reduce the possible
intensity of activity during the evening hours to be more compatible with the
surrounding residential neighborhood.
c) Notwithstanding the occupancy limits and resulting reduced parking demand, the
project site can generate a need for parking that exceeds available off - street
supply as evidenced. rn on- street parking, conflicts experienced in the area for Deleted: wklm
many years. Therefore, the project must provide a minimum of 600 off - str e
eet
parking spaces for the use of which a minimum of g50 spaces and no more than Deiaud:280
290 spaces will be on site. The balance of the parking spaces (a minimum of
315) must be developed within the 15th Street parking lot at Newport Harbor High
School for the use of Newport Mesa School District and St. Andrews Church.

d)
The additional entitlement of 21,741 square feet of gross floor area would not be
recommended for approval without the provision of parking as described in this
resolution and as required pursuant to the conditions of approval.
e)
The reduction of on -site parking spaces reduces the amount of grading
associated with the excavation of the proposed subterranean garage. This
change in the project reduces air emissions and potential air quality impacts
associated with the project even though the original project did not create a
oekced:caemai

f)
The parking arrangement described herein must be accomolished by a. written_ - --

parking agreement with the Newport Mesa School District for a term of no less
than 30 years. Additionally, the parking agreement must be in place prior to
approval of the General Plan Amendment, or if it is not, the General Plan
entitlement, and consequently the Use Permit, must not be effective without first
obtaining a Development Agreement ensuring that a satisfactory parking
agreement with the School District is obtained prior to issuing any building
permits for the expansion project. The parking agreement must include the
increased parking within the 151h Street parking lot at Newport Harbor High
School as noted above.
g)
The project as conditioned will provide better parking management and
monitoring provisions, which should increase the efficient use of off- street
parking facilities, reduce on- street parking demands, re- direct traffic generated by
the QuLrch away_ from_ sensitive residential streets and reduce parking._conflicts_ -_-
Deleted: da M
created by traffic and parked vehicles from both the Church and Newport Harbor
High School. These factors are considered beneficial and will help preserve and
enhance the single family residential area abutting the project site and would not
otherwise be realized without project approval.
h)
The existing use of the site as authorized and regulated by Use Permit No. 822
generates neighborhood compatibility issues due to the intensity of use of the
site. Specifically, noise, traffic and parking on streets in the residential area
impact area residents negatively from time to time. Conditions of approval within
the existing use permit are not adequate to ensure neighborhood compatibility at
all times. Although the proposed project is larger in area and will likely lead to
increased use of the site that will affect the neighborhood, the project as
conditioned will be a benefit to the community and improve the compatibility of
the project due to the imposition of the proposed conditions that are believed to
be superior to those of Use Permit No. 822. Operational limitations coupled with
enhanced reporting/monitoring provisions, jncreased varking_supply, available to_ -

the broader neighborhood and physical changes to the site (including the
gymnasium to enclose outdoor activities, lighting subject to current regulations_ -,-
oeleeed:d
and the Clay Street wall to discourage street parking and improve sound
attenuation) will mitigate existing conditions and the impact of future activities.

The Final EIR includes responses to comments received on the Draft EIR and all—rormatteo: Bu ea and rvumbedy�
comments and responses have been considered by the Planning Commission
throughout the evaluation of the proposed project. The issues raised by the
comment and responses to comments process did not raise significant new _ _ - r elated: wewN wbannati
information of a significant environmental impact that would warrant revision of the
EIR or recirculation of the EIR for additional public input and/or comment.
9. Conditions of project approval attached include the mitigation measures identified in
the EIR. Several mitigation measures were modified and/or replaced during the
public review process. In each instance where a mitigation measure was replaced,
the replacement condition provides no less protection of the environment and all are
considered feasible to implement. Several mitigation measures were amended as
the project evolved during the public review process to reflect reductions in area and .
increases in overall parking supply. For instance, the occupancy level of the campus
eras increased commensurate with the increase in evailable_parking The amended_, oetawd:•«b damns
mitigation measures as reflected in the final conditions of approval provide the same
level of environmental protection and are no less feasible to implement. The
replacement and changes to the mitigation measures, and comments related
thereto, were evaluated by the Commission during noticed public hearings and it
was determined that the changed mitigation measures would not increase the
severity of potential environmental impacts nor create any, therefore, recirculation of
the EIR was not necessary.
10.A Traffic Study was prepared by Kimley Horn and Associates under the direction
and supervision of the City Transportation /Development Services Manager (City
Traffic Engineer) in accordance with the requirements of the Traffic Phasing
Ordinance (TPO). The study found that the originally proposed project consisting of
approximately 36,000 gross square feet (net increase) would not cause the Level of
Service of the study intersections to deteriorate below a Level of Service D. The
reduction of the proposed project to no more than 21,741 gross square feet net
increase) generates fewer trips and since the project average daily trip increase
attributable to the smaller project is below 300, the project is exempt from the TPO.
11.Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A -18 requires all proposed General Plane
Amendments to be reviewed to determine if the square footage, peak hour vehicle
trip or dwelling unit thresholds have been exceeded and a vote by the public is
required. voter approval ft-project is not required as the project represents a
projected increase of 15 - A.M. and 15- P.M. peak hour trips, 21,741 gross square
feet of non - residential floor area and zero residential units. These increases do not
cumulatively exceed Charter Section 423 thresholds for a vote as there are no
previous amendments approved for Statistical Area H-3. The project will be tracked
as a prior amendment per Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A -18.
