The proposed project consists of redesignating a former SCE parcel that is no longer required for utility use. The implementation of the proposed project would provide for two additional residences without resulting in an incompatibility with other land uses due to similar land uses in • the area. Additionally, the proposed project would not impede the City's efforts to provide schools, employment, recreation areas, public facilities, churches, and neighborhood shopping • centers in close proximity to each resident of the community. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that the City shall insure redevelopment of older or underutilized properties, and to preserve the value of property, the floor area limits specified in the Land Use Element allow for some modest growth. To insure that traffic does not exceed the level of service desired by the City, variable floor area limits shall be established based upon the trip generation characteristics of land uses. The implementation of the proposed project will result in a modest intensification of residential usage of the project site by a maximum of two units, which is within the projected capacity and levels of service of the circulation system. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that commercial, recreation or destination visitor serving facilities in and around the harbor shall be controlled and regulated to minimize traffic congestion and parking shortages, to ensure access to the water for residents and visitors, as well as maintain the high quality of life and the unique and beautiful residential areas that border the harbor. The proposed project does not affect access to the water due to its location. • Development of the site is required to comply with the applicable City standards, including the R -2 zoning district standards for parking, height and setbacks. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that the siting of new buildings and structures shall be controlled and regulated to insure, to the extent practical, the preservation of public views, the preservation of unique natural resources, and to minimize the alteration of natural land forms along bluffs and cliffs. The project site does not contain unique natural resources or natural landforms and development of the proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. Development of the site is required to comply with the applicable City standards, including the R -2 Zoning District standards. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. WHEREAS, the City's General plan dictates that provisions shall be made for the encouragement or development of suitable and adequate sites for commercial marine related facilities so as to continue the City's historical and maritime atmosphere, and the charm and • character such businesses have traditionally provided the City. The site is not designated for marine related facilities and therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. • WHEREAS, the City's General Plan dictates that the City shall develop and maintain suitable and adequate standards for landscaping, sign control, site and building design, parking and undergrounding of utilities and other development standards to insure that the beauty and charm of existing residential neighborhoods is 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. Development of the site is required to comply with the applicable City standards, including the R -2 Zoning District standards and therefore, the proposed project is consistent with this policy. WHEREAS, in conjunction with the consideration of the subject amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, the proposed project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt under the Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the State CEQA Guidelines; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.94, the Planning Commission has held a duly • noticed public hearing on July 6, 2000 to consider General Plan Amendment No. 99 -2 (C) and Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 to redesignate the subject property located at 1514 West Balboa Boulevard, legal description being Lot 8, Block 115 of Tract 234, from "Government, Educational and Institutional Facilities" (GEIF) use to "Two Family Residential" use, and adoption of Amendment No. 904 to Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, amending Districting Map No. 9 rezoning the subject property from PC to the R -2 District and recommended approval to the City Council; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 20.94, the City Council has held a duly noticed public hearing on August 8, 2000 to consider General Plan Amendment No. 99 -2 (C) and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan Amendment No. 55.
