Orange, CA 92867

APPLICATION: Staff Approval No. SA2007-010 (PA2007-130)

REQUEST: Request to modify the provisions of a previously approved sign program that pertain to one sign location and to change the vertical dimension from 24 inches to 30 inches. Previous approval of Modification Permit No. 2005-120 (PA2005-262) established a comprehensive sign program for the shopping center.

APPLICANT: Svetla Kibota, property owner

LOCATION: 2043 Westcliff Drive

Section 20.42.060 C of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that the Planning Director may review and approve plans, applications or other information for consistency with the Mariner Mile Design Framework.

ACTION: Approved August 21, 2007 - The Planning Director approved the request to modify the provisions of a previously approved sign program that pertain to one sign location and to change the vertical dimension from 24 inches to 30 inches and allow a horizontal dimension of 10 feet where the Zoning Code limits the sign to 8.5 feet. Previous approval of Modification Permit No. 2005-120 (PA2005-262) established a comprehensive sign program for the shopping center. The approved Table-Matrix supercedes the Table-Matrix for Modification Permit No. 2005-120 (PA2005-262).

FINDINGS

1. The change to the sign program is consistent with the overall provisions and does not increase the number of signs otherwise allowed by the existing sign program.

2. The property owner is afforded a location for a single tenant wall sign or multiple identification purposes for tenant spaces that do not have tenant frontage that is visible from the public street.

CONDITIONS

1. The table matrix for Modification Permit No. 2005-120 (PA2005-262) as approved on November 21, 2005 is rendered null and void and is superseded by the attached revised Table*-Matrix dated August 20, 2007. All other provision of the sign program have been retained.

2. All applicable requirements of Chapter 20.67 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code shall apply.

3. The Planning Director or the Planning Commission may add to or modify conditions of approval to this use permit, or revoke this permit upon a determination that the operation, which is the subject of this approval, causes injury or is detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of the community.

APPEAL PERIOD

The decision of the Planning Director may be appealed by the applicant or any interested party to the Planning Commission within 14 days of the decision date. Any appeal filed shall be accompanied by a filing fee of $600.00.

On behalf of David Lepo, Planning Director
