Title
PLANNING COMMISSIONER REQUALIFICATION
FOR KOLL CENTER RESIDENCES (PA2015-024)
Site Location: 4400 Von Karman Avenue
Recommendation
Summary:
Four members of the Newport Beach Planning Commission have a conflict of interest that prohibits their participation with the Koll Center Residences project. Because a majority of the Planning Commissioners have a conflict, State law allows for the requalification of one Planning Commissioner by means of random selection to participate on this Project.
Recommended Action:
1. Find this event not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
2. Randomly select one conflicted Planning Commissioner by drawing lots to participate in the process to consider the Koll Center Residences project; and
3. Identify a date for a future Planning Commission study session.
