Agenda Item No. 3
November 3, 2005
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: James Campbell, Senior Planner
(949) 644 -3210, IcampbellCa2city .newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Velardo Variance and Modification Permit (PA2004 -274)
3809 Channel Place
APPLICANT: John Velardo, Property Owner
ISSUE
Should the City approve Variance No. 2004 -004 requesting that the construction of a
single family home exceed applicable floor area limits and approve Modification Permit
2004 -090 to allow construction to encroach within required setbacks?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that there are facts to support either approval or denial of the project. The
Commission has three options:
1. If the Commission is able to make affirmative findings for both application requests,
the Commission can approve the project. Staff has prepared a resolution approving
the project for consideration (Exhibit No. 1).
2. The Commission may find that the applications are inconsistent with the purpose
and intent of the Zoning Code or that the project might prove detrimental to the area.
In either of these cases, denial is recommended and findings have been prepared
for consideration (Exhibit No. 2).
3. Direct the applicant to reduce the structural square footage and /or setback
encroachments to an acceptable level and continue the item to re- design the project.
DISCUSSION
The applicant desires to demolish an existing two -car garage and construct a 988 sq. ft.
residence on a 1,034 sq. ft. lot. The application of setbacks to the subject property
results in no buildable area thus necessitating a Variance to floor area standards in
addition to a Modification Permit to allow construction within required setbacks.

Background
The small lot was created in 1960 when a previous owner sold the larger portion of the
original lot to a separate party (3801 Channel Place). The division was not in
compliance with the subdivision regulations in effect at the time because the resulting
lots did not comply with the minimum lot size and the Planning Commission did not
approve the substandard lots. The transaction created a private utility and vehicular
access easements for the abutting lot. The utility easement affects the southerly 3 feet
of the lot and the access easement affects the northeasterly corner of the lot. The
private easements are shown on the site plan.

The Subdivision Map Act states that the City shall issue a Certificate of Compliance
(CC) upon request of the property owner. The City must issue the CC, however the City
may apply conditions of approval to enforce subdivision standards that were in effect at
the time of the illegal subdivision. The City is precluded from applying current
subdivision standards and cannot invalidate the original division and subsequent
transfers of property and financing. The issuance of the CC establishes the legitimacy of
the lot and as such, the owner is entitled to the economic use of the property in
accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. A conditional certificate of compliance was
requested by the property and one was issued by the City (Exhibit No. 3).
Project Overview
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing two -car garage and construct a two -
story residence with 988 gross square feet (Exhibit No. 4). The proposed two story
residence includes a 2 -car garage and is approximately 22 feet in height. The proposed
residence would encroach up to 19 feet in the required 20 foot front yard setback, 1 foot
within both side yards and approximately 7 feet within the required rear yard that is
measured from the back corner of the lot. The residence is comprised of 655 square
feet of living area and 333 square feet for a two -car garage with a laundry area. The
floor area distribution by floor is as follows:
First Floor: 493 sq. ft. (Entry, 2 -car garage & laundry)
Total Area 988 square feet
Analysis
General Plan & Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan
The subject property has a General Plan Land Use and LCP Land Use Plan designation
of Two - Family Residential. Single- family residences are permitted within the two- family
designation.
Additionally, the subject property is located within the Categorical Exclusion Zone (CEZ)
of the Coastal Zone. Projects on properties located within the CEZ may qualify for
Categorical Exclusion and avoid Coastal Commission review if the subject lot is greater
than 1,200 square feet, structural square footage does not exceed 1.5 times the
buildable area and 2 parking spaces are provided. Given that the proposed project does
not meet these standards, the project would not qualify for a Categorical Exclusion.
Should this Variance and Modification Permit be granted, the applicant would be
required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit or Coastal Development Permit
Waiver issued by the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of building
permits.

Zoning Code Development Regulations
The subject property is located within the R -2 Zoning District. Single- family dwellings
are a permitted use within the R -2 Zoning District. With the exception of the increased
floor area and setback encroachments, all development regulations of the R -2 Zoning
District have been met, including interior garage dimensions and structure height. Final
verification will occur during the building permit plan check process should this
application be approved.
Floor Area Variance
Zoning Code regulations allow structures in the R -2 Zoning District to have a maximum
structural square footage equal to 2 times the buildable area. The buildable area of a lot
is simply defined as the lot area minus the setbacks. Due to the lack of a setback on the
districting map and no alley access, the front and rear setbacks default to the standard
setbacks of 20 feet and 10 feet, respectively. The rear setback is measured from a 10-
foot line parallel to the front property line at the furthest location on the lot. The
application of these two setbacks results in no buildable area. The following chart shows
relevant lot information and a comparison of the subject lot to a standard lot in the block.

In the past, the Planning Commission has used the "reasonable setback" method to
determine a possible floor area for similar cases. In this particular case, staff considers the
following setbacks reasonable since they are consistent with setbacks along Channel
Place - Front: 3 feet, Right Side: 3 feet and Left Side: 3 feet. The resulting buildable area
using this method is approximately 650 square feet resulting in a maximum structural area
of 1,300 square feet (650 x 2), which is approximately 312 square feet more than the
proposed residence.
Using a floor area to lot area ratio typical of lots in the block (1.21 to 1.34), the total area
would be 1251 sq. ft. to 1,385 sq. ft., both which exceed the applicant's request. Based
upon these two possible floor areas, the applicant's request for 988 square feet would not
be out of proportion to development in the immediate area.
Open Space
Section 20.10.040(C) of the Zoning Code requires that open space be provided for
residential properties located on the Balboa Peninsula. Open space is measured in
cubic feet and calculated by multiplying the buildable width times the buildable height
times 6. The open space may be provided anywhere on the lot behind the required
setback lines or in other words, within the buildable area. With no buildable area,
technically, no open space requirement exists.
The project does provide open space within the reasonable setbacks identified above. A
conservative calculation of open space is 3,500 cubic feet using the reasonable
setbacks and the open space provided with the design. The volume of open space
provided to lot area is approximately 3.34 cubic feet to square foot. A typical lot in the
block, which is 2,850 sq. ft. in area, is required to provide 3,456 cubic feet of open
space. These numbers translate to an open space to lot area ratio of 1.21 cubic feet of
open space to square feet of lot. Given the comparison, staff believes that the open
space provided by the proposed project could be seen as satisfying the intent of the
open space requirement.
Variance Findings
The Zoning Code requires the Planning Commission to make certain findings for
Variances. These mandatory findings are listed and discussed below:
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying to the land,
building or use referred to in the application, which circumstances or conditions do
not apply generally to land, buildings and/or uses in the same district.
The orientation of the lot without alley access and size of the lot are not typical of
the other lots in the area and the strict application of the setback standards provides
no buildable area and therefore would preclude any redevelopment of the lot.
Vi
Velardo Variance and Modification
November 3, 2005
Page 6
2. That the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment
of substantial property rights of the applicant.
Without the granting of the variance to increase the permitted floor area, the
property owner could not construct a residence on the nonconforming property,
which is designated for residential use. Whether granting the application is
necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right is
subject to determination by the Planning Commission because it can be argued
that the property owner enjoys a substantial property right with the existing garage.
3. That the granting of the application is consistent with the purposes of this code and
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on
other-properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
The purpose of the Zoning Code is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
community. Minimum development standards including minimum lot sizes
implement this purpose. Given that the lot in question is not of sufficient size for
development when compared to the development standards of the Zoning Code, it
can be argued that granting the variance is the granting of a special privilege as
development on such a small lot is not a right and would be subject to discretionary
review. However, the proposed project would result in a residence with a gross
floor area of approximately 988 square feet that is below the floor to land area ratio
allowed in the vicinity. Therefore, the granting of the variance to the floor area could
also be viewed as not the granting of a special privilege to the property owner.
4. That the granting of such application will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not under
the circumstances of the particular case be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood.
The granting of the Variance for floor area as designed would. not introduce a new
use to the area that is incompatible and the plans provide two off - street parking
spaces. The two parking spaces are important as there is no street parking in the
area and Newport Island has parking issues similar to other areas. The plan
provides 3 -foot side yards similar to side yards of the neighborhood and it also
provides a variable front yard setback of comparable depth to other street setbacks
of other residences in the area. Additionally, the amount of floor area requested
does not then necessitate deviation from structure height standards which could be
viewed as detrimental. For these reasons, the project can be viewed as not being
detrimental to the neighborhood.

Approval of the Variance will allow a third unit where only 2 units were originally
planned if one considers the original subdivision and zoning pattern. Denial of the
Variance would avoid the additional development and density beyond what was
planned for and it would also avoid the additional traffic, parking or demand for
other services that the project would generate. Although the impacts of the project
are fairly small, granting the request could be viewed as detrimental to the abutting
property properties.
Setback Modifications
In conjunction with the Variance request, the applicant has requested a Modification
Permit to encroach into all setbacks. The required and proposed setbacks are noted in the
table above. The findings for a Modification Permit are as follows:
A. The granting of the application is necessary due to practical difficulties associated
with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code results in
physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning
Code.
B. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the
neighborhood
C. The granting of such an application will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property and will not be
detrimental to the general welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood.
Due to the size of the lot and no buildable area, it is clear that the lot has practical physical
difficulties in facilitating construction of any kind. What remains to be determined is the
appropriateness of the setbacks suggested by the applicant and whether or not the
setbacks suggested would be detrimental.
The required front yard setback overlaps the required rear yard setback, and therefore,
there are, technically, no required side yards. A graphic exhibit of the location of the
setbacks is attached as Exhibit No. 5.
Front yard setbacks along Channel Place on the opposite side of the street are 3 feet as
established by the Districting Map. The setbacks on the southerly side of the street are
side yards of the lots that front on the streets that intersect Channel Place. These side
yards are typically 3 or 4 feet in width per the Zoning Code. Smaller setbacks exist and
are nonconforming. The westerly portion of the residence is proposed to be setback 3
feet, 6 inches. One corner of the garage and floor area above will be 12 inches from the
property line and sidewalk. The easterly portion of the site has a greater setback to
accommodate the access easement to the abutting property. The varying setback
7
Velardo Variance and Modification
November 3, 2005
Page 8
dimensions of the site provide some relief and articulation along Channel Place. The
applicant plans two landscape planters totaling approximately 90 square feet in area
within the front yard. This landscaping will assist in softening the frontage of the lot.
Staff believes that the setbacks suggested on the plans are acceptable for these
reasons and might not prove detrimental.
The applicant proposes the structure to be 3 feet from both the east and south property
lines, which amounts to an 11 -foot encroachment within the 15 -foot setback as
measured from the rear corner of the lot. The 3 -foot setbacks are similar to side yards
required for other lots in the area. The existing garage currently provides a 3 -foot
setback to the east and no setback to the south. The resulting separation between the
proposed two story building and the neighbor to the south will be 6 feet. The separation
to the east will be 15 feet to living space and 6 feet to the corner of the neighbors
garage. The 3 -foot setback to the south also observes the private utility easement that
is a benefit of the abutting property to the east. Finally, the height of the proposed
residence is 21 feet, 8 inches to the ridge which is well below the maximum of 29 feet.
Staff believes that the suggested 3 -foot setbacks in conjunction with the height of the
proposed structure will provide sufficient light, open space and separation between the
abutting properties such that no detriment is generated.
In summary, staff believes that the findings for approval of the Modification Permit can
be made.
Water and Sewer Connections
Water and sewer connections to the abutting property to the east are located within the
southerly 3 feet of the subject property. An easement was created with the division of
the property for the benefit of the neighbor, so no further action is necessary. The
proposed construction will remove the existing garage, which is presently located over
the private easement and, as such, the removal of the structure is .a benefit to
maintenance of the easement. Public Works staff suggests that the two property owners
replace the aging sewer and water lateral during construction to avoid future disruption
of the sideyard. Finally, separate utility connections for the proposed project (separate
from the abutting duplex) will be required should the project be approved.
Environmental Review
The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (Construction of a single- family residence in a
residential zone). This exemption permits the construction of small structures including
single family homes on lots not environmentally sensitive.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 2004 -004 AND
MODIFICATION PERMIT NO. 2004 -090 FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 3809 CHANNEL PLACE (PA2004 -274).
WHEREAS, an application was filed by John Walter Velardo with respect to
property located at 3809 Channel Place (PA2004 -274) and legally described as a
portion of Lot 2, Block 538 of the Canal Section, requesting approval of Variance to to
allow construction of a single family residence that would exceed the applicable floor area
limit and Modification Permit to allow encroachments of the proposed single family
residence into the front and rear yard setbacks.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was first held on November 3, 2005 at 6:30 P.M. in
the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California.
A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the meeting.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applying to the land,
building or use referred to in the application, which circumstances or conditions do
not generally apply to land, buildings and /or uses in the same district.
The orientation and size of the lot is not typical of the other lots in the area and the strict
application of the setback standards provides no buildable area and therefore would
preclude any redevelopment of the lot.
2. That the granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
substantial property rights of the applicant.
Without the granting of the variance to increase the permitted floor area, the property
owner could not construct a residence on the nonconforming property, which is designated
for residential use.
3. That the granting of the application is consistent with the purposes of this code and
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
The proposed project will result in a structure that is similar to and consistent with the
development regulations permitted on other lots in the area. The requested gross floor
area of approximately 988 square feet is below the floor to land area ratio allowed in the
vicinity. Therefore, the granting of the variance to the floor area does not grant a special
privilege to the property owner not enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity.
4. That the granting of such application will not, under the circumstances of the
particular case, materially affect adversely the heffi th or safety of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not under the
13
Resolution No.
Page 2 of 5
circumstances of the particular case be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood.
The property is designated for two- family residential use and the granting of the variance
would not increase the density beyond what is planned for the area, thereby avoiding
additional traffic, parking or demand for other services. Project approval results in a
structure that is similar to surrounding dwellings with respect to size, bulk and design and
the project provides over, 3j500; cubic feet of, open space within the reasonable identified
setbacks consistent with the legislative intent of the Zoning Code. Granting the request for
the establishment of the floor area of 988 square feet and deviation from open space
standards will not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood.
5. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use of the property or building
will not, under.the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health,
safety, peace, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the City, and further that
the proposed modification is consistent with the legislative intent of this code for the
following reasons:
The design of the project has front yard setbacks that vary from 1 foot to approximately
6 feet. Similar front and side yard setbacks presently exist along Channel Place and
smaller nonconforming setbacks exist in the area. The portion of the building that
encroaches to 1 foot from the front property line is small in area. The varying setback 1
dimensions of the site provide some relief and articulation along Channel Place. Two
landscape planters totaling approximately 90 square feet in area within the front yard
will assist in softening the frontage of the lot.
The existing garage currently provides a 3 -foot setback to the east and no setback to
the south and the project increases the southerly setback to 3 feet. The 3 -foot setback
for both side yards is similar to other side yards required for other lots in the area. The
separation between the proposed building and the neighbor to the south will be 6 feet
and the separation to the east will be 15 feet to living space and 6 feet to the comer of
the neighbor's garage. The 3 -foot setback to the south also observes the utility
easement that is to the benefit of the abutting property to the east. The height of the
proposed residence is 21 feet, 8 inches to the ridge which is well below the maximum of
29 feet. The suggested 3 -foot setbacks in conjunction with the height of the proposed
structure will provide sufficient light, open space and separation between the abutting
properties such that no detriment is generated.
6. The. design. of the. proposed improvements, as conditioned, will not conflict with any
easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of, the property
by the Public.
7. Public improvements in the form of modifying or replacing the existing driveway
approach on Channel Place with a standard drive approach, curb, gutter and
sidewalks, is required of the developer pursuant to Section 20.1.040 of the Municipal
Code.
)q
Resolution No.
Page 3 of 5
8. The proposed project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section
15303 of the Implementing Guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act.
This exemption allows the construction of limited new structures including a single -
family residence in an area designated for such use where the development does
not significantly impact environmental resources. The site is presently developed
with a single - family residence and is devoid of . any significant environmental
resources.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
Section 1. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby approves Variance No. 2004 -004 and Modification Permit No. 2004 -090, subject to
the Conditions set forth in Exhibit 1.
Section 2. This action shall become final and effective fourteen (14) days after
the adoption of this Resolution unless within such time an appeal is filed with the City Clerk
in accordance with the provisions of Title 20, Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code.

V+
Exhibit No. 2
Findings for denial
Variance No. 2004 -004 &
Modification Permit No. 2004 -090
1. The granting the Variance to floor area is not necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial tproperty right as the property owner enjoys a
substantial property right with the existing garage.
2. The 1,036 sq. ft. lot is not large enough for development when compared to the
development standards of the Zoning Code, and the granting the Variance to
allow 988 square feet of floor area is the granting of a special privilege as
development on such a small lot to this degree is not a right that other property
owners enjoy.
3. Approval of the Variance will allow a third unit where only 2 units were originally
planned, considering the original subdivision and zoning pattern. Approval
would create additional development and density with this additional unit
beyond what was planned for and it would add additional traffic, activity and
demand for public services to the detriment of abutting property properties and
neighborhood.
4. The location of the proposed residence is in close proximity to abutting
buildings and Channel Place and does not provide sufficient separation of the
two -story building proposed and therefore, the encroachments within
setbacks is detrimental to the neighborhood.

Pursuant to this certificate, THE PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD, LEASED OR
FINANCED as one parcel without further compliance with the Subdivision Map Act
of any local ordinance enacted pursuant thereto; however, the following condition
shall be imposed and shall remain effective in perpetuity unless the City releases or
otherwise eliminates the condition:
The utility easement and access easement described within the legal
description of the real property shall be reserved and maintained for the benefit
of the easterly portion of said Lot 2 of Block 538 of the Canal Section.
This certificate relates only to issues of compliance or noncompliance with the
Subdivision Map Act and local ordinance enacted pursuant thereto. The parcel
described here in may be sold, leased, or financed without further compliance with
the Subdivision Map Act or any local ordinance enacted thereto. Development of the
parcel may require issuance of a permit or permits, or other grant or grants of
approval.
The described lot is approximately 1,034 square feet in area and has no buildable
area as defined by the Newport Beach Zoning Code as required setbacks
encompass the entire lot. The existing two car garage is nonconforming to allowable
building area and setbacks standards. As a nonconforming structure, alteration of
the structure is strictly regulated by the Zoning Code. Depending upon the type and
scope of alteration, the Zoning Code may require a discretionary permit or the
alteration may not be allowed. Increasing the size of the existing structure or
replacing the structure (whether it is larger or not) will require a Variance to the
allowable floor area and setbacks would need to be modified in order to implement
the expansion or replacement. These permits require a public hearing and approval
by the Planning Commission. These permit applications are discretionary and might
not be approved should an application be found to be contrary to the intent and
purpose of the Zoning Code or be found detrimental to the health, safety or general
welfare of the City.
