PUBLIC HEARING
The Deputy Clerk announced that this was the time and
Appeal of
place set for the public hearing for the appeal of the
PA-86-76/Baley
Planning Commission's decision for Planning Action
PA -86-76 from John D. Baley, for a variance from minimum
parking stall and garage door width requirements, for
conversion of existing carports to garages and the
addition of one parking space, located at 707-711 James
Street in an R4 zone. Environmental Determination:
Exempt. The Affidavit of Mailing is on file in the
Clerk's office. No communications have been received.
The Senior Planner referred to staff's memorandum dated
June 11, 1986, stating that on May 27, 1986, the
Planning Commission denied Planning Action PA -86-76.
Denial was based on Staff's findings that the conversion
to garage area could impact parking on subject and sur-
rounding properties because the garages could be used
for storage purposes rather than parking, and special
circumstances do not exist to justify approval of the
narrow width.
John Baley, owner, 20472 Clearwood Circle, Huntington
Beach, stated that the apartments have been fully
refurbished to attract quality tenants. He also stated
that the tenants prefer not to park in the carports off
the alley because there has been excessive vandalism in

Mayor Hertzog stated that staff is concerned about the
garages being used as storage space as there have been
problems with this in the past. Mr. Baley responded
that use of the garage area will be supervised closely.
Joe Acone, 3400 Irvine Avenue, Newport Beach, owner
of property at 716 Shalimar, commented that tenants
in the area do not want to park in the carports because
of the vandalism. He believes that garage door openers
are not necessary and that there is adequate turning
room to enter and exit the proposed garages.
Michael Pellam, 711 James Street, Unit D, Costa Mesa,
stated that the future addition of a garage is what
attracted him to this apartment. He also reminded
Council sufficient storage space will be provided in
the garage area.
Sid Soffer, 900 Arbor Street, Costa Mesa, opposed the
requirement of garage door openers.
Mark Korando; 582 Park Drive, Costa Mesa, agreed that
the carports should be enclosed; however, it should meet
City standards.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.'
Council Member Wheeler felt that the tenants would not
use the garages for parking if they were not equipped
with garage door'opehers. He also was of the opinion
that if Council approved this variance that they will be
expected to approve others in this area.
Council Member Hall commented that Mr. Baley would
make a decision regarding the openers to best benefit his
property.
MOTION Council Member Hall made a motion to approve Planning
PA -86-76 Action PA -86-76,- based on the findings that the pro -

conditions in the Code in that special circumstances do
exist; that the present units are already of the present
size and could not be widened to meet present day
standards; and subject to all conditions, with the
deletion of Condition No. 2. Vice Mayor Hornbuckle

ings that there is a special need for security in this
