A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO.
2001 -003 AMENDING THE SECTION TITLED "JAMBOREE
ROAD/MAC ARTHUR BOULEVARD AREA (STATISTICAL DIVISION
L)" WITHIN LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN
PERTAINING TO THE DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATION FOR
PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS 1150 GRANVILLE DRIVE (LOT NO. 10 OF
TRACT MAP NO. 14839)
WHEREAS, as part of the development and implementation of the Newport Beach
General Plan, the Land Use Element has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element sets forth objectives, supporting policies and
limitations for development in the City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Element 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; and
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan dictates that the City shall provide for 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.
Since the intended land use and the Administrative, Professional, Financial (APF) Commercial
designation for the property will not change, the proposed project is consistent with this policy;
and
WHEREAS, 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 implementation of the
proposed project will result in an increase to the existing development allocation for a
commercial office site by 3,000 square feet, which would have a less than significant impact on
the projected capacity and levels of service of the circulation system. Therefore, the proposed
project is consistent with this policy; and
WHEREAS, 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 proposed project is consistent with this policy; and
WHEREAS, development of the site is required to comply with the applicable City
standards as outlined in the Zoning Code, for building height, setbacks, and required parking.
The proposed project is requesting an increase in authorized development allocation, a reduction
to the rear yard setback along Newport Center Drive, and an additional monument sign along
Newport Center Drive. The proposed project complies with all other applicable development
standards; and
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the consideration of the subject amendment to the Land
Use Element of the General 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, the Planning Commission has held a duly noticed public hearing on March
7, 2002 to consider General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -003 and recommended approval to the
City Council; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on March 26, 2002 to
consider General Plan Amendment No. 2001 -003.
NOW THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Newport Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
Section 1. The City Council finds that the proposed amendments are consistent with
the intent of the General Plan. The project consists of an increase in the development allocation
of 3,000 square feet for the site. The project does not include a change in land use designation.
Section 2. The amendments proposed under the application for General Plan
Amendment No. 2001 -003 are approved, as shown in the Attachment No. "I ", referenced and
incorporated herein, for the property identified as 1150 Granville Drive.
