The application also includes the repositioning of two allowed, but not constructed, monument signs within the Block 500 Sub -Area of the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC 56). The Modification Permit application also includes a request to allow one additional landscape wall sign (Sign Type D) where four (4) are currently allowed, for a total of five (5) signs to be located within the Block 500 Sub - Area of the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC 56). RECOMMENDATION 1) Conduct a public hearing; and 2) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Modification Permit No. MD2013 -022 (Attachment No. ZA 1). 1 2 Block 500 Newport Center Drive Sign Modification Zoning Administrator December 12, 2013 Page 2 DISCUSSION • The subject properties are located within the North Newport Center Planned Community, Block 500 Sub -Area (PC 56) and Block 500 Planned Community (PC 46) Zoning Districts. • Sign standards for Block 500 Sub -Area of the PC 56 allowed two (2) large cube or blade monument signs (Sign Type A) to be located at entries to the Newport Center. Their locations are as follows: • Avocado Avenue at San Joaquin Hills Road • Avocado Avenue at San Nicolas Drive The Modification Permit seeks an approval to reposition these allowed, but not constructed, monument signs to different locations within the PC 56, at the Santa Rosa Drive (identified as ST1.2 per the proposed sign plan) and San Nicolas Drive (identified as ST1.1 per the proposed sign plan) entries. These new locations are more appropriate because they are the entries to 500, 520, and 550 Newport Center Drive, provide direct access to the buildings and parking structures, and support a higher traffic volume than the entry way at Avocado Avenue. • The PC 46 does not identify blade (monument) signs as a permitted sign; however, it does make allowance for additional sign types if approved by the City and The Irvine Company. Section IV.K.1 of the PC 46 states: "All permanent and temporary signs must be consistent with the provisions of these regulations or be approved by the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company." The Modification Permit seeks approval of a large (15 feet high by 15 feet wide) blade sign to be located at the entry of Block 500 from San Joaquin Hills Road (identified as ST1.3 per the proposed sign plan). The height, width and letter height of this sign are designed to be consistent with Sign Type A allowed in the PC 56 for compatibility with the existing and proposed signage in the immediate vicinity. • Section III.F.4 of the PC 56 currently allows a total of four (4) landscape wall signs (Sign Type D) facing Newport Center Drive. Presently, three (3) are currently being used by the following tenants: The Irvine Company, City National Bank, and Bank of America. The Modification Permit seeks an approval for one additional sign, for a total of five (5) signs for an additional tenant. No change to the maximum allowable sign height or area is proposed. TmpIt:10 -15 -13 S Block 500 Newport Center Drive Sign Modification Zoning Administrator December 12, 2013 Page 3 The remaining unassigned sign and the proposed additional sign will be located along Newport Center Drive and identified as ST18.01 and ST18.02 per the proposed sign plan. • Staff believes the proposed additional signs are appropriately and logically positioned for visibility, wayfinding, and safety. They are also designed to be compatible with the signs in the area and should not contribute to excessive signage or visual blight. Findings supporting approval are provided in the attached resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is categorically exempt under Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines - Class 11 (Accessory Structures). The proposed signs are incidental and accessory to the principal office use of the property and do not intensify or alter the use. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights -of- way and waterways) including the applicant and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website.

STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by The Irvine Company, with respect to property located at 500, 520 and 550 Newport Center Drive. 2. The applicant proposes a Modification Permit application to allow one additional monument sign (Sign Type A) where two (2) are currently allowed, for a total of three (3) monument signs.

The Modification Permit application also includes a request to allow one additional landscape wall sign (Sign Type D) where four (4) are currently allowed, for a total of five (5) signs to be located within the Block 500 Sub -Area of the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC 56). `,A� 3. The subject property is located within the Block 500 Sub -Area of the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC 56) and Block 500 Planned Community (PC 46) Zoning Districts and the General Plan Land Use Element category is MU -H3 (Mixed Use — Horizontal). 4. Sign standards for Block 500 Sub -Area of the PC 56 allow two (2) large cube or blade monument signs (Sign Type A) to be located at entries to the Newport Center. Their locations are as follows: • Avocado Avenue at San Joaquin Hills Road • Avocado Avenue at San Nicolas Drive The Modification Permit seeks an approval to reposition these allowed, but not constructed, monument signs to different locations within the PC 56, at the Santa Rosa Drive (identified as ST1.2 per the proposed sign plan) and San Nicolas Drive (identified as ST1.1 per the proposed sign plan) entries. 5. The PC 46 does not identify blade (monument) signs as a permitted sign; however, it does make allowance for additional sign types if approved by the City and The Irvine Company. Section IV.K.1 of the PC 46 states: "All permanent and temporary signs must be consistent with the provisions of these regulations or be approved by the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company." 7 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 2 of 7 The Modification Permit seeks an approval of a large blade sign to be located at the entry of Block 500 from San Joaquin Hills Road (identified as ST1.3 per the proposed sign plan). The height, width and letter height of this sign are designed to be consistent with Sign Type A allowed in the PC 56, for compatibility with the existing signage in the immediate vicinity. 6. Section III.F.4 of the PC 56 currently allows a total of four (4) landscape wall signs (Sign Type D) facing Newport Center Drive. Presently, three (3) are currently being used by the following tenants: The Irvine Company, City National Bank and Bank of America. The Modification Permit seeks an approval for one additional sign, for a total of five (5) signs for an additional tenant. No change to the maximum allowable sign height or area is proposed. The remaining unassigned sign and the proposed additional sign will be located along Newport Center Drive and identified as ST18.01 and ST18.02 per the proposed sign plan. 7. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone. 8. A public hearing was held on December 12, 2013, in the Corona del Mar Conference Room (Bay E -1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this meeting. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. The project has been reviewed, and it qualifies for a categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 11 (Accessory Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. 2. Class 11 includes construction or replacement of minor structures such as on- premise signs accessory to the existing regional office /commercial development. The proposed free - standing signs are incidental and accessory to the principal use of the properties and they do not intensify or alter the use. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. Modification Permit In accordance with Section 20.52.050 E. (Required Findings, Modification Permits) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC), the following findings and facts in support of the finding for a Modification Permit are set forth: 10 -15 -2013 Q Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 3 of 7 Finding A. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the neighborhood. Fact in Support of Finding A -1. The proposed additional signs are consistent with the maximum allowable height, area, and design requirements for Sign Type A (cube /blade) and Sign Type D (landscape wall sign) allowed within the PC 56, which provides development standards to ensure that these signs will be compatible with the surrounding development in sign and scale. The proposed signs will be constructed of similar materials and lettering as the existing Type A and Type D signs located within the PC 56. Finding B. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical characteristic(s) of the property and /or structure, and /or characteristics of the use. Fact in Support of Finding B -1. Block 500 has entry points from San Joaquin Hills Road, Santa Rosa Drive, and San Nicolas and it is logical to provide adequate signage directing traffic to the pedestrian drop -off area for the new 20 -story building and two (2) parking structures are currently under construction. The proposed new locations for Sign Type A are more appropriate because they are the entries to 500, 520, and 550 Newport Center Drive and will provide drivers with the most efficient pathway to their desired designations. B -2. Block 500 has limited frontage along Newport Center Drive and because of this limitation, it is necessary and important to provide convenient and accurate information for motorist in identifying their destination. The additional landscape wall sign will provide applicable information regarding tenants located in the 500 and 550 Buildings. Finding C. The granting of the modification 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. Fact in Support of Finding C -1. The granting of the Modification Permit is necessary to allow deviations from the current approved blade sign locations, where there is low traffic volume for motorists whose destination is the North Newport Center portion of Block 500. The new Sign Type A locations will be at the entrances into the North Newport Center portion of 10 -15 -2013 9 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 4 of 7 Block 500 where the majority of traffic will be headed in order to drop off passengers or park in one of the new parking structures. C -2. The proposed new Sign Type A and landscape wall signs will not interfere with or be in conflict with the intent or purpose of the Zoning Code, PC 46, or PC 56. The proposed changes are necessary to accommodate the changes in land use development patterns within the two planned development areas. Finding D. There are no alternatives to the Modification Permit that could provide similar benefits to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants, the neighborhood, or to the general public. Fact in Support of Finding D -1. The proposed blade and landscape wall signs are the appropriate design location in the identification of three (3) main buildings and the major tenants in Block 500. The signs are in proper scale that compliments other free - standing signs in Block 500 as well as those currently existing throughout North Newport Center. D -2. Due to sizable amount of office space within Block 500 and the size and configuration of the buildings, the number, size and location of the proposed signs will provide better direction and visibility for motorists. The proposed signs have been reviewed by the Public Works Department. The final placement of these signs shall be subject to the approval of the Traffic Engineer to ensure that the sight distance requirements will be met and they will not pose a detriment to the surrounding neighborhood or the general public. Finding E. The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare to the occupants of the property, nearby properties, the neighborhood, or the City, or result in a change in density or intensity that would be inconsistent with the provisions of this Zoning Code. Fact in Support of Finding E -1. The proposed signs will be constructed on private properties in Block 500 and will not change the density or intensity of the existing regional office and commercial development. The proposed signs are not excessive in the number or area and they will improve the traffic circulation within the North Newport Center, reduce traffic hazards, and therefore will not be detrimental to public health or safety.

Site Development Standards 5. Temporary Signs The following standards are intended to produce consistent sign design for temporary signs within Newport Center. Temporary signs are to identify a future site or project; or a facility under develop- ment or offered for lease. Temporary signs that are visible from public right -of -ways and identify new construction or remodeling may be displayed for the duration of the construction period beyond the 60 -day limit. Signs mounted on a construction fence are allowed during construction and may be rigid or fabric. The top of the sign must be no greater than 20 feet above grade. Maximum Number: One (1) temporary sign is permitted on a site for each frontage street, up to two (2) signs per building, but not at the same comer of the building. Type: Single- or double -faced ground signs or wall signs. Location: If ground signs, they may be parallel or perpendicular to the roadway. If wall signs, they must be located below the sill of second floor windows. Design: Rectangular shape; rigid, permanent material; not fabric. Mounting Technique: Flush with building; entirely on glass or entirely on a wall surface; not overlapping glass or wall surface. Duration: Signs may exist from the time of lease or sale of the parcel until the construction and/or leasing of the facility is complete. G. Residential Compatibility In keeping with the purpose of Fashion Island and the Mixed -Use sub - areas, permitted uses in North Newport Center include uses and events that have the potential to generate noise. Due to the day /evening use of Fashion Island in particular, noise generating activities, lighting, odors from restaurants, and similar occurrences are produced and take place during all hours of operation.
