ON THE AGENDA

Here are a few of the items the commission will consider Monday.

SUBDIVISION REQUEST

The applicant, CommonWealth Partners LLC, will ask the commission

to approve a subdivision of three existing parcels at 2 Town Center

into 14 parcels. The subdivision would divide the existing parcels

into 10 lots for buildings and four lots for parking and common

areas.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff members don’t foresee any negative effects from the

subdivision and are recommending approval.

HOUSE APPEAL

The Planning Commission will consider an appeal by property owner

Victor Schubert of the zoning administrator’s denial of his plans to

build a new two-story house at 983 Grove Place. Last month, the

commission continued Schubert’s appeal to give him more time to work

with staff members to redesign the project to mainly reduce the

building mass.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Although the revisions don’t meet the specific criteria of the

residential design guidelines, they meet the intent, planning staff

members say. So they are recommending approval.

PLANNING APPLICATION

Calvary Church Newport Mesa wants to demolish the existing church

facilities at 23rd Street and Orange Avenue and build a development

of 26 small-lot, family homes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Staff members feel the project satisfies most of the city’s

development standards and the architectural design of the homes is

compatible with the neighborhood. But they are recommending denial of

the project because they feel larger lots and more traditional

single-family development is more typical of the city’s east side.
