In order to accomplish this, Statistical Area L4 (Koll Center Newport Office Site B) of the Land Use Element would need to be amended to increase the maximum allowable gross office area by 1,750 square feet and an Amendment to the Koll Center Planned Community Text (PC -15) by 1,367 net square feet is necessary. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -006 and Code Amendment No. 2005 -006 to the City Council by adopting the attached draft resolution. DISCUSION Site Backoround The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Von Karman Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard in Koll Center Newport and is currently developed with a 1,330 square -foot, single -story office building. The 15 -foot high building was originally constructed in 1974 and is situated entirely within its own parcel. Vehicular access to the property is from the adjacent common driveway via Von Karman Avenue.

Site B), which is presently allocated 1,006,432 square feet of development. The existing entitlement has been fully utilized. Therefore, an increase in entitlement is necessary to accommodate the proposed 1,750 gross square foot addition. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Administrative, Professional and Financial. The proposed office development is consistent with this designation. The objective of the Land Use Element is to provide an orderly balance of residential and commercial uses with an emphasis of maintaining a high quality environment for people living, working and visiting the City. Amendments can be approved upon finding that they are consistent with the surrounding land uses and the policies of the Land Use Element. The following table discusses several of the general development policies of the Land Use Element applicable to the project. General Plan Policy Policy Analysis A. The City shall provide for sufficient diversity The proposed project would increase the of land uses so that schools, employment, development allocation by 1,750 gross square feet recreation areas, public facilities, churches and for professional office use. The proposed project is neighborhood shopping centers are in close consistent with this policy in the fact that the proximity to each resident of the community, proposed project does not change the diversity of land use and the continuation of office development is consistent with those intended by the General Plan.

D. The siting of new buildings and structures shall 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. F. The City shall develop and maintain suitable and adequate standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking, undergrounding of utilities, and other development standards to ensure that the beauty and charm of existing residential neighborhoods are maintained, that commercial and office projects are aesthetically pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses, and that the appearance of, and activities conducted within industrial developments are also compatible with surrounding land uses and consistent with the public health, safety and welfare. L. The City shall encourage its community commercial districts to reflect and complement the high quality of its residential areas. The City shall promote the prosperity of its several community commercial districts through the adoption and application of its planning, zoning, building and public works codes, regulations, policies and activities. Office Expansion June 9, 2005 Page 4 financial commercial development. The Traffic Engineer has determined that the proposed increase in the development allocation would result in less than significant traffic impacts on existing levels of service at intersections within the City. The project site is located within a fully developed business park in Koll Center Newport. No significant natural landforms, including coastal bluffs and cliffs, are located on the site or in the immediate area nor will the increase of 1,750 gross square feet of development allocation impact public views. Development and use standards applicable to the project site have been adopted (Koll Center PC Text). The project meets all applicable development standards. With the exception of the request for an increased development allocation the project will comply with the PC -15 development regulations. Staff believes that, based on the analysis of the Land Use Element policies, the proposed project can be found consistent with the General Plan and the increase in development allocation can be approved. Charter Section 423 Analysis Statistical Area L4 has a current General PI project will add 1,750 gross square feet of Newport Office Site B. Council Policy A -18 amendments be reviewed to determine if the 1 100 dwelling unit thresholds are exceeded. an limit of 8,102,562 square feet. The non - residential intensity in Koll Center requires that proposed General Plan 00 peak hour trip, 40,000 square foot or m Master Development Corporation Office Expansion June 9, 2005 Page 5 Based on the trip generation rates contained in the Council Policy A -18, the proposed project is forecast to generate 19 additional daily trips. Although the proposed project does not exceed the 100 peak trip threshold, Section 423 of the Charter requires that all General Plan Amendments be tracked as "Prior Amendments" for ten years to determine if minor amendments in a single Statistical Area cumulatively exceed the thresholds. Eighty- percent of the increases attributable to prior amendments are added to the increases of the proposed project to determine if any thresholds have been exceeded. There were two prior amendments approved for Statistical Area L4, and the following chart shows the area and peak hour trips analysis. As indicated in the preceding chart, the resulting total of the proposed amendment and the "prior amendments" is an additional 21.4 — A.M. peak hour trips and 29.2 — P.M. peak hour trips and a total increase of 3,022 square feet. Since the totals do not exceed the 100 peak hour trip or 40,000 square foot thresholds a vote pursuant to Charter Section 423 is not required. If the City Council approves the proposed amendment, it to will become a "prior amendment' that will be tracked for ten years. The proposed changes to Statistical Area L4 pertaining to Koll Center Newport Office Site B are shown as Exhibit "A" of the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1). Planned Community Text Amendment The Koll Center Newport Planned Community District Regulations were adopted by the City of Newport Beach on August 14, 1972. The applicant is proposing to amend Section I of Part II — Commercial pertaining to site and building areas. This particular section of the PC Text has been amended twice, once in 1980 and the latter in 1984. The proposed amendment would increase the allowable net building area by 1,367 square feet (the amount necessary to construct the proposed building) in Office Site B from 963,849 to 965,216 net square feet. The proposed change in building area within the PC Text affects the Statistical Analysis Section and that these changes have been included. The proposed changes to Section 1 of Part 11 of the PC Text are shown as Exhibit "B" of the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1). 1 Area A.M. Peak Hour Trips P.M.

The proposed changes to Section 1 of Part 11 of the PC Text are shown as Exhibit "B" of the draft Planning Commission Resolution (Exhibit 1). 1 Master Development Corporation Office Expansion June 9, 2005 Page 6 Parking Parking for the existing office is being provided on a contiguous parcel, at the southerly side of the subject property. The parking parcel presently has a total of 11 parking spaces and is a part of Office Site B's common area parcel which is in accordance with the PC Text's parking pool allowance. To accommodate the new and larger office building and to comply with the parking pool criteria, the applicant is proposing to provide 5 additional parking spaces to the existing parking pool parcel. The proposed office development, therefore, will have adequate off- street parking as required for the business and professional office buildings within the Koll Center Newport. Square Footage Adjustment The Planning Department with the assistance from the Building Department recently completed a review of all existing building permits for Statistical Area L4 including Koll Center Newport Office Site B. The review revealed that the overall building gross floor area of this block is approximately 1,006,432 square feet and 54,466 square feet less than the Land Use Element currently indicates. This number was derived from a combination of building plans and permits and staff believes the current area total is accurate. Therefore, staff is suggesting to change the maximum area allocated in the Koll Center Newport Office Site B from 1,060,898 to 1,006,432 gross square feet (not including the proposed increase allocation). With the proposed General Plan Amendment, the total gross square footage would be 1,008,182 (1,006,432 + 1,750). Staff also suggests that the overall gross square footage for this area should be added to the PC Text for reference purposes as the PC Text was adopted in 1972 prior to the adoption of the General Plan Land Use Element in 1987 and it contains allowable development in the form of net square footage. Environmental Review Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). This class allows for new constructions of up to 10,000 square feet in urbanized areas where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Public Notice Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the property (excluding roads and waterways) and posted at the site a minimum of 10 days in advance of this hearing consistent with the Municipal Code. [] Master Development Corporation Office Expansion June 9, 2005 Page 7 Additionally, the item appeared upon the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website. No written correspondence or any public inquiries have been received as of the writing of this report. Summary Staff believes the proposed General Plan Amendment does not conflict with the policies identified in the Land Use Element, does not exceed any of the thresholds for a vote established by Charter Section 423 and that the modest 1,750 gross square foot increase in floor area within the statistical area can be supported. Additionally, staff believes that the Code Amendment request for the office expansion of 1,367 net square foot can also be supported, as the proposed building meets all the development standards specified in the Koll Center Planned Community development standards and will not be detrimental to the surrounding office developments.

The applicant proposes to replace the existing one -story 1,330 square foot with a new 2 -story 3,080 square foot office building. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 9, 2005 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting. WHEREAS, the property is designated Administrative, Professional, & Financial Commercial by the General Plan Land Use Element. The City has adopted Planned Community District Regulations (PC -15 Koll Center) that establish development standards and use regulations to implement the General Plan. The property is presently improved with a one -story 1,330 square foot professional office building. 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 commercial floor area limitations. 2. 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 amendment does not impact the diversity of land uses but only modestly increases the intensity of existing uses. Planning Commission Resolution No. _ Page 2 of 9 3. The Land Use Element of the General Plan allows for the redevelopment of older or underutilized properties to preserve the value of property by allowing for some modest growth, while maintaining acceptable levels of traffic service. The project consists of an increase in the development allocation of 1,750 gross square feet, which will not result in an increase in traffic levels beyond the projected capacity and levels of service of the circulation system as the project is anticipated to generate 19 additional daily trips, with 2 — A.M. peak hour trips and 2 - P.M. peak hour trips, which are insignificant increases. 4. The City's General Plan indicates that the City shall maintain suitable and adequate standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and undergrounding of utilities to ensure that the quality character of residential neighborhoods are maintained and that commercial and office projects are aesthetically pleasing and compatible with surrounding land uses. The City implements this policy through the Koll Center Planned Community Text. Other than the modest increase in intensity, the project meets all applicable development standards. The project has also been designed to be physically compatible with the existing and surrounding professional office and commercial developments. 5. Charter Section 423 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. This project has been reviewed in accordance with Council Policy A -18 and a voter approval is not required as the project represents an increase of 2 - A.M. and 2 — P.M. peak hour trips, 1,750 gross square feet of non - residential floor area and zero residential units. These increases, when added with 80% of the increases attributable to two previously approved amendments, result in a total of 21.4 — A.M. peak hour trips and 29.2 — P.M. peak hour trips and a total increase in 3,022 square feet do not cumulatively exceed Charter Section 423 thresholds for a vote. 6. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). This class allows for new constructions of up to 10,000 square feet in urbanized areas where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. Section No.2. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2004 -006 per the revised estimated growth table depicted in Exhibit "A" and Code Amendment No. 2005 -006 per the revised Koll Center Newport Planned Community District regulations depicted in Exhibit "B" subject to the standard code requirements listed in Exhibit "C ".
