HomeMy WebLinkAbout1706 - APPROVE SD, UP, AND NEWPORT TRACT MAP_2300 NEWPORT BLVD_NEWPORT BAY MARINARESOLUTION NO. 1706 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING SITE PLAN REVIEW NO. 2001 -004, USE PERMIT NO. 2001 -038, AND NEWPORT TRACT MAP NO. 2004- 003 (VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP. NO. 16594) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2300 NEWPORT BOULEVARD (PA2001 -210). The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach does hereby find, resolve and order as follows: WHEREAS, an application was filed by ETCO Development, Inc. with respect to property located at 2300 Newport Boulevard (PA2001 -210) and legally described as Lot 1 of Parcel Map P.M.B. 68/48. The applicant seeks approval of a Site Plan Review, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, and Use Permit for the construction of a mixed use development consisting of 27 residential units, 36,000 square feet of commercial floor area, and the reconstruction of bulk heads and boat slips on approximately 2.36 acres in the Cannery Village /McFadden Square area. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 5, 2006 and continued to November 2, 2006, November 16, 2006 and December 7, 2006 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the meetings 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: Consistent with the General Plan 1. The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the project site as Mixed Use Water 2 (MU -W2) which allows retail and office commercial uses and residential uses above the first floor provided that development does not exceed established floor area limits. The proposed project includes a mix of commercial and residential development that will replace the existing commercial development occupying the site. The project will provide a range of coastal - related and visitor - serving commercial uses and will provide residential uses above the first floor, as prescribed by the Land Use Element and zoning regulations that regulate development. Public access to the marina area is provided along the frontage of the project from Newport Boulevard. No significant natural landforms, including coastal bluffs and cliffs, are located on the site or in the immediate area. Public views of the marina area will be maintained through the public walk located along the frontage of the development and from Newport Boulevard via a view and access corridors through the development. The existing boat slips will be reconstructed and will continue to accommodate marine uses and a new 10 -foot wide public walkway will provide Resolution No. 1706 Page 2 of 21 public access to the waterfront. The proposed project is designed to complement the nautical and historical maritime character of the area. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. 2. The Coastal Land Use Plan designates the project site as Recreational and Marine Commercial and permits retail and commercial uses and residential uses above the first floor. Further, the CLUP outlines a number of policies that require new developments to provide lateral public access along the bayfront and access from public streets. The project proposes to establish commercial uses with residential uses above, and to provide both vertical and lateral access to and along the waterfront. Due to these factors, the project is deemed consistent with the Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan. Consistent with the Cannery Vfllage/McFadden Square Specific Plan 1. The Cannery Village Specific Plan is intended to provide an active pedestrian - oriented, specialty retail area with a wide range of uses including retail, professional offices that provide service directly to the public, residential uses above the first floor, commercial and marine - related uses. The project provides commercial retail and office uses with residences above the first floor, and incorporates publicly accessible plaza and walkway along the waterfront to promote pedestrian - orientation. 2. The proposed architecture of the project incorporates building materials that reflect an image of permanence, stability and strength, and quality, including the use of ceramic tile, stone, brick and brass consistent with the McFadden Square design theme. Therefore, the project is consistent with the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Specific Plan. Use Permit for Building Height 1. The project incorporates open terraces and balconies on upper floors, undulating wall planes along the Newport Boulevard that result in visual relief, and an open corridor has been provided within the center of the project. In addition, the roof lines have been varied in order to give visual relief that results in an appearance that is in scale with the overall design of the project. These features increase open space that is visible by the public. The open aspects of the terraces and balconies and location of the portions of the buildings that exceed the basic 26 -foot height limit will provide a slightly greater view of the sky for someone on the street and result in building design that is balanced and in more in scale with the overall building bulk than could be constructed within the basic height limit. 2. The building height above 26 feet creates the ability to construct two levels of residential use above first floor commercial. The increase by 9 feet also allows more open space and less building area/bulk at the Plaza Level, thereby decreasing overall building bulk on the site and increasing the view corridor through the project form the public streets. The increase height allows greater flexibility in design, which is exhibited Resolution No. 1706 Page 3 of 21 in the project, and is architecturally superior to that achievable within the 26 -foot height limit. 3. Consistent with the eclectic nature of McFadden Square, there is a variety of building heights in the area. Surrounding buildings are generally one and two story at or near the 26 -foot height limit. Some projects include adjacent restaurants, and other projects in the vicinity that exceed the 26 -foot height limit. A variety of roof planes, vertical wall setbacks and balcony areas are incorporated into the design of the buildings as well as interior open space, plaza and pedestrian corridors within the interior of the project, which helps lessen the bulk of the buildings as perceived from Newport Boulevard and the Arcade. As a result of the presence of other buildings of comparable height in the area and the location, design and bulk of features of the project that exceed 26 feet, and the setback of upper floors on the buildings fronting Newport Boulevard, the increased height to accommodate these specific features is not an abrupt change in scale. Restricting the buildings to 26 feet in height would not improve views of the bay through the property. In addition, the project has been designed to be consistent with the design theme, building materials and design features included in the Specific Plan #6. 4. The commercial floor area ratio of the project is 0.35, which is below the maximum of 0.50 FAR and the maximum residential floor area ratio of 0.75 has not been exceeded. In addition, the proposed number of dwelling units is 27, which is less than the permitted maximum of 43 dwelling units; therefore the project does not achieve any additional floor area due to the additional height. Site Plan Review 1. The site is flat, developed with older buildings and paved with concrete and asphalt with limited landscaping. There are no unique natural landforms or coastal bluffs or other environmental resources. No known archaeological and paleontological resources are known to exist and are unlikely to exist due to the disturbed nature of the site. The site will be graded to maintain the top of bulkhead elevation at 9 feet above mean low water (8.67 NAVD 88). This results in a grade level that approximates the current grade level and does not constitute significant alteration of the site as the grade will be similar to abutting properties. The development of the lots provides a 10 -foot bulkhead setback, within which a 10 -foot easement will be dedicated for public access to the waterfront, which does not exist today. 2. The proposed eleven buildings are consistent with the development standards of the Cannery Village/McFadden Square Specific Plan with the exception of building height. Their height and bulk is comparable to other structures located in the vicinity. 3. The development proposes to increase and enhance the view from Newport Boulevard through the center of the property by providing a plaza area in front of and on either side of the slipway that is proposed to be maintained. No public parks are in the vicinity where views would be impacted. The project provides a 10 -foot public access easement within the 10 -foot bulkhead setback along the channel and access will be Resolution No. 1706 Page 4 of 21 provided from Newport Boulevard via the Plaza area and from Arcade/22 "d Street via a Paseo. From these easements and access /view corridors, that presently do not exist, public views will be enhanced. 4. The project has been designed in a manner to preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive areas in that the loss of an existing slipway is mitigated by the expansion and upgrading of the additional existing slipway and other mitigation measures have been incorporated to enhance the marine environment of the site. 5. The project site is not subject to any increased potential of geologic hazard due to its location over that of other properties in the area. All applicable City and State building codes and seismic design recommendations contained within the Preliminary Geotechnical investigation will be applied through the issuance of a building permit, which will minimize possible risks of liquefaction damage during an earthquake. 6. A noise analysis was completed for the project and it indicates that noise levels will be maintained at levels consistent with the Noise Element of the General Plan and the Community Noise Ordinance through appropriate noise mitigation measures that have been included in the Environmental Impact Report and incorporated as conditions of approval, therefore, it is not anticipated that the project will be subject to excessive noise. The residential portions of the project will need to be sound insulated sufficiently to ensure compliance with interior and exterior noise standards of the Community Noise Ordinance. 7. The Planning, Public Works and Building Departments have reviewed the site plan for proper pedestrian and vehicle function, and a traffic study has been completed in conjunction with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report. The Public Works Department is satisfied with access and circulation on Newport Boulevard and area intersections are not expected to be impacted. Public access to the water front along the Rhine Channel is provided in accordance with the Zoning Code. A 10 -foot wide horizontal easement that is parallel to the water front will be dedicated to the public and will be improved with a walkway by the applicant. The easement and walkway will be directly accessible by the public from Newport Boulevard and Arcade/22 "d Street via two access easements. The project has been conditioned to require the dedication and recordation of vertical access easements from Newport Boulevard and Arcade /22nd Street. 8. The project is compatible with the Land Use Element of the General Plan and with the Cannery Village McFadden Square Specific Plan in that in that both documents designate the site for Recreational and Marine Commercial Uses, which allows marine - related retail and office commercial land uses and residential uses above the first floor commercial uses. Further, the project has been evaluated against the policies and objectives of the General Plan and the McFadden Square Specific Plan and a determination has been made that the project is consistent with those policies and objectives. Resolution No. 1706 Page 5 of 21 9. The project has been developed in a manner to take into consideration of site characteristics, particularly as they relate to submerged areas and other sensitive areas in that mitigation measures have been included as conditions for the project approval requiring enhancement of the marine biota, and the bulkheads, boat docks and slipway. 10. The air conditioning units will be located on the roofs of the buildings behind roof parapets and will not be visible from the ground. Trash storage areas will be accommodated within the subterranean parking level and within enclosed trash areas on the deck level, and will only be visible for trash - pickup. 11. There are no known archaeological resources on the project site, and the historic significance of the site and structures on the site has been evaluated, and mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project approval to mitigate the loss of older buildings on the site and to otherwise document the past use of the site as a shipyard. 12. There are no residences adjacent to or in close proximity to the project site. Due to the small size of the commercial uses and the fact that that they are within a mixed use project, land use conflicts or other negative impacts to nearby residences are not anticipated. Tract Map 1. The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and the Cannery Village/McFadden Specific Plan. Additionally, the proposed subdivision is consistent with the Newport Beach Subdivision Code and Subdivision Map Act and conditions of approval have been included to ensure compliance. 2. The site to be subdivided is flat and developed with urban uses. No other physical constraints to construction are known. The proposed subdivision will result in a single lot subdivision for condominium purposes in order to sell individual residential units. Applicable planning policies and codes permit mixed use development where one residential unit is permitted above a commercial space with a maximum number of dwelling units not exceeding one dwelling unit for every 2,375 square feet of net lot area. That standard results in a maximum of 43 dwelling units permitted, and the project proposes 27 dwelling units. Therefore, the site is suitable for the type and density of development proposed. 3. An Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for the project. It concludes that the environmental impacts of the project can be mitigated to a less than significant level with the exception of historical resources, in which case mitigation measures have been included and a Statement of Overriding Considerations prepared in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines. The site is developed in a highly urbanized area and no significant natural resources exist in the area of the project site except for Newport Bay. The project includes a system of filtering storm runoff on site before it is discharged into the storm water system. The project also includes improvements to the local storm water system where a fossil type filter will be installed to treat the first or low flow Resolution No. 1706 Page 6 of 21 discharge prior to discharge to Newport Bay. In addition, the loss of marine habitat area resulting from the closure of an existing slipway will be mitigated through the expansion and enhancement of the second slipway. These features will mitigate and improve water quality thereby avoiding impacts to fish or wildlife. 4. The project consists of a mixed use commercial and residential that includes 27 condominium dwelling units permitted by local ordinances and the General Plan. No evidence is known to exist that would indicate that the proposed subdivision pattern would generate any serious public health problems. 5. An existing view easement through the approximate center of the project site will be maintained and enlarged. Public utility easements for utility connections that serve the project site are present and will be modified, if necessary, to serve the new project. The project will result in the creation of public access easements through the property and along the waterfront that do not currently exist. Therefore the proposed subdivision will not adversely impact public easements. Public improvements may be required of a developer per Section 19 of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 of the Subdivision Map Act and public improvements may be required of a developer per Section 20.91.040 of the Municipal Code. 6. The project site does not include any lands subject to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act). 7. The project is consistent with the Cannery Village /McFadden Square Specific Plan and the provisions of the Recreational and Marine Commercial (RMC) District regulations of the Speck Plan. 8. The design of the proposed project provides each lot with direct southern exposure to the maximum extent feasible, therefore, solar access and passive energy conservation goals are met. 9. The proposed subdivision facilitates the creation of 27 new residential units that likely would not be developed due to current housing trends although they could be developed under existing zoning provisions without the subdivision. These 27 new units will assist the city in meeting its housing needs. Public services are available to serve the proposed development of the site and the Environmental Impact Report prepared for the project indicates that the project's potential environmental impacts can be mitigated to a level of less than significance with the exception of historical resources, in which case mitigation measures have been incorporated and a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been included. 10. Waste discharge into the existing sewer will be consistent with retail commercial, office and residential use due to the design and limitations of the use property established by existing zoning regulations. It is not anticipated that waste discharge into the sewer from these uses would violate any Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements or Orange County Sanitation District standards. Resolution No. 1706 Page 7 of 21 11.The proposed project is entirely within the coastal zone and the site is presently developed or occupied with both coastal - related and non - coastal related uses, coastal - dependent uses or water - oriented recreational uses. Although the City of Newport Beach does not have a certified Local Coastal Program, the project is consistent with the city's certified Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan. Coastal access, both visually and physically, is improved by the project through proposed public walkway /access easements and by an increase in the view corridor through the property. The Recreation policies of the Coastal Act require that sites suitable for water - oriented recreational activities that cannot be supplied inland must be protected. These policies prioritize water - oriented recreational activities over other land uses and encourage aquaculture and water - oriented recreational support facilities. The portion of the project site proposed to be subdivided is not suitable for water - oriented recreational activities due to its size and location, however, the existing marina is being upgraded and a slipway is being enlarged and enhanced to allow for increased boating activity. Further, the project preserves and enhances the primary marine dependent use by reconstructing the marina consistent with the California Department of Boating and Waterways standards. WHEREAS, 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 attomeys' 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; and NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission hereby approves Site Plan Review No. 2001 -004, Use Permit No. 2001 -038, and Newport Tract Map No. 2004 -003 (Vesting Tentative Tract Map. No. 16594), subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit "A" attached. 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 or this action is call for review by the City Council in accordance with the provisions of Title 20, Planning and Zoning, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
