THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS
1. An application was filed by Olson Real Estate Group, Inc. ("Applicant') with respect to
property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Newport Boulevard and
32nd Street on the Balboa Peninsula in the Lido Village area of the City (`Property").
2. The Applicant requests approval of a General Plan Amendment, Coastal Land Use
Plan Amendment, Zoning Code Amendment, and amendments to Site Development
Review No. SD2014-001 and Conditional Use Permit No. 2014-004 that authorized the
construction and operation of a 130-room at the Property called the "Lido House Hotel."
3. The Applicant requests a 4,745 square foot increase in the maximum allowable
development of the site from 98,625 square feet to 103,470 gross square feet for the
Lido House Hotel.
4. Pursuant to Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A-18, proposed General Plan
amendments are reviewed to determine if a vote of the electorate would be required
because a project (separately or cumulatively with other projects in the same
Statistical Area over the prior 10 years) exceeds certain thresholds provided in
Section 423 of the City Charter. The proposed General Plan Amendment is located
in Statistical Area B5 and this is the sixth amendment that affects Statistical Area B5
since the General Plan update in 2006. The five prior amendments are GP 2010-
005, GP 2011-003, GP 2011-010, GP 2012-005, and GP2012-002. The following

5. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 23, 2016, in the City Hall
Council Chambers, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of
the time, place and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was provided in accordance
the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC").
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION
1. On September 9, 2014, the City Council certified the adequacy and completeness of
the Lido House Hotel Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2013111022) by
adopting Resolution No 2014-80 ("Certified EIR").
2. Upon receipt of the application for the increased floor area for the Lido House Hotel
(project), the City of Newport Beach prepared Addendum No. 1 to the Certified EIR
for the Project, consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA").
3. The Community Development Department has determined that the Addendum No. 1
complies with the requirements of CEQA.
4. After considering the Certified EIR, the public testimony and written submissions, if
any, of all interested persons desiring to be heard, the Planning Commission finds
the following facts, findings, and reasons to support adopting Addendum No. 1:
a. The modified project is consistent with and implements the General Plan.
b. The Certified EIR reviews the existing conditions of the City and project vicinity;
analyzes potential environmental impacts from implementation of the
development; and identifies mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant
impacts from implementation of the development.
c. The modified project does not increase development intensity or building height
or associated impacts beyond the levels considered in the Certified EIR.
d. Since the adoption of the EIR in 2014, no substantial changes have occurred
with respect to the circumstances under which the EIR was certified for the
project; and no substantial changes to the environmental setting of the project
site have occurred, and no new information of substantial importance has
become available that was not known and that could not have been known with
the exercise of reasonable diligence at that time of adoption.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020
Page 3
e. Since no substantial changes to the circumstances or environmental setting have
occurred, and since no new information relating to significant effects, mitigation
measures, or alternatives has become available, the project does not require
additional environmental review, consistent with CEQA Guidelines section
15162.
f. Based on these findings, the Certified EIR and Addendum No. 1, the Planning
Commission has determined that no subsequent environmental impact report is
required or appropriate under CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15164.
Addendum No. 1 satisfies CEQA's environmental review requirements for the
modified project as proposed by the applicant.
g. Based on the facts and analysis contained in the Addendum, the Planning
Commission finds that the modified project will not have, when compared to the
Certified EIR, any new or more severe adverse environmental impacts.
h. The modified project will not result in any new or more severe significant impacts
which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable, when viewed in
connection with planned or proposed development in the immediate vicinity.
i. The Planning Commission has considered the Certified EIR and the Addendum
No. 1, and has concluded that the Addendum reflects the independent judgment
of the City.
j. The Planning Commission finds that judicial challenges to the City's CEQA
determinations and approvals of land use projects are costly and time
consuming. In addition, project opponents often seek an award of attorneys' fees
in such challenges. As project applicants are the primary beneficiaries of such
approvals, it is appropriate that such applicants should bear the expense of
defending against any such judicial challenge, and bear the responsibility for any
costs, attorneys' fees, and damages which may be awarded to a successful
challenger.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS
1. Amendments to the General Plan are legislative acts. Neither the City nor State
Planning Law set forth any required findings for either approval or denial of such
amendments.
2. The increase in floor area will allow larger lobby and circulation spaces, an enclosed
pre-function space, larger management offices, larger storage spaces, a larger
ancillary retail space, and two slightly larger hotel rooms without increasing the
number of hotel rooms. These changes constitute a 4.8 percent increase in floor
area compared to the previously approved hotel plan. The area devoted to meeting
rooms is decreasing and these changes are minor in nature and should enhance the
hotel and the experience of guests and visitors.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020
Page 4
3. The increased floor area does not increase the number of hotel rooms and therefore,
would not increase predicted traffic or parking demands for the project. The
predicted traffic to and from the proposed hotel will remain less than what the former
City Hall site generated.
4. The increased floor area does not reduce publically visible open space or decrease
the parking provided.
5. The increased hotel floor area would be located on the first and second level and
does not increase the height of the building. The proposed hotel would remain
consistent with applicable standards of the CV-LV zoning district and Coastal Land
Use Policy 4.4.3-1 that limits the height of development.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach hereby recommends City
Council approval and adoption of the following:
1. Addendum No. 1 to the Lido House Hotel Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH

Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed 130-room hotel project is consistent with the Visitor Serving
Commercial-Lido Village (CV-LV) General Plan land use designation, CV-LV
(Visitor Serving Commercial - Lido Village) Coastal Land Use Plan category, and
the CV-LV (Visitor Serving Commercial - Lido Village) zoning district for the project
site that provides for the horizontal or vertical intermixing of commercial, visitor
accommodations, residential, and/or civic uses. Civic uses could include, but are
not limited to, a community center, public plazas, a fire station and/or public
parking.
2. The proposed CV-LV (Visitor Serving Commercial - Lido Village) zoning district
includes setback standards (zero to 35 feet depending on height), open space
(20% of the site) and building height standards (55 feet to flat roofs, 60 feet for
sloping roofs and up to 65 feet for architectural features). The proposed hotel
building will be setback more 69 feet from Newport Boulevard, more than 15 feet
from 32nd Street, and more than 62 feet from the northerly (interior) property line all
in excess of the proposed standards. The height of the sloping roof of the 4-story
portion of the proposed hotel is less 58 feet, 5 inches`andall other portions of the
hotel are below this height. Lastly, the proposed,site,plah..provides approximately
21.4% of the site as open space consisting of hardscapeand.landscaping between
the hotel and Newport Boulevard and 32" Street in compliance,with the proposed
open space standard. `
3. The project is compatible with surrounding development and public,,spaces in
terms of bulk, scale and aesthetic treatments TheJ'arge setbacks identified in
statement B-2 above will help offset the taller,.portions of the proposed buildings.
Hotel buildings have been designed with a one, two and three story element along
Newport Boulevard while providing a significant setback from the street providing
areas for public access, landscaping; ouf000r dining,and hotel use. The proposed
building is over 69 feet from the Newporl.Boulevard."The portions of the hotel
structure that will be three and four,stories are located along the northerly and
easterly portion of Oe site away from public spaces and closer to the back of the
abutting shopping center that, is developed with large buildings with heights close
to 35 feet. Additionally, thesetaller components will be approximately 240 feet from
planned residential uses east of Via Oporto. Based upon the project drawings, all
elevations of proposed;buildings'will include consistent architectural treatments,
artieula�ton and moduli�tion of building masses providing visual interest with a
cpastal,architectural theme specified by the Lido Village Design Guidelines.
4. The.,project retain's te two iarge ficus trees designated by Council Policy G-1 as
Landmark Trees The:{proposed project also retains the 10 existing tall date palm
trees,, and provides' pedestrian areas, seating areas, and enhanced pavement
increasing the aesthetic and use qualities of the setback area. The setback area
also provides pedestrian connections from the intersection of Newport Boulevard
and 32"d Street along the streets in furtherance of the goals of the Lido Village
Design Guidelines. Lastly, the building elevations include a lighthouse architectural
feature, simple gable roofs, tight overhangs, simple block massing, and wood
siding all with a clear coastal theme consistent with the Lido Village Design
Guidelines.
5. Access to the site, on-site circulation, and parking areas are designed to provide
standard-sized parking spaces consistent with the Zoning Code, 26-foot-wide, two-
way driveways, and the minimum vehicle turning radius to accommodate and
provide safe access for residents and guests (including the disabled), emergency
vehicles, delivery trucks, and refuse collections vehicles, as determined by the City
Traffic Engineer.
6. The project is subject to the City's Water-Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Chapter
14.17 of NBMC) and compliance will be confirmed at plan check prior to issuing
building permits.
7. Consistent with Section 20.30.100 (Public View Protections), the Draft EIR
(Section 5.2 Aesthetics/Light and Glare) provides an analysis of potential impacts
to public views from Sunset View Park, Cliff Driver,Parkrand Ensign View Park.
Based upon that analysis, the proposed hotel will,blegd into the urban background
and not block any important focal points including,the ho``rizoh within existing public
views from these vantages. Additionally, there, are other taller buildings in the
vicinity suggesting that proposed building would not be out of character despite the
proposed increase in building height. Specifically, 601 & 611 Lido Park Drive and
3388 Via Lido are taller than the proposed height of the project. No significant
public views through or near the project site are present in the immediate vicinity of
the site. For these reasons, the analysis concludes that there will be no material
impact to public coastal views.
Finding: '
C. The proposed development is not .detrimental to the harmonious and orderly
growth of the City, or endanger jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the
public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing
or working idthe neighborho10Id of the proposed development.

seating and-landscape%areas that will create a community focal point and providing
connections to.,abutting uses.
2. The project site is located in a developed commercial area with limited sensitive
land uses located nearby. The overall height of the project will not materially
impact any public views from General Plan designated vantages or significantly
shade surrounding properties as demonstrated in Section 5.2 Aesthetics/Light and
Glare of the Lido House Hotel EIR.
3. The proposed surface parking lot provides 148 parking spaces (some tandem) and
through the use of valet parking that can facilitate additional on-site vehicles will
