APPLICANT OR AUTHORIZED AGENT:
The applicant/authorized agent is Peter Ishak of "The Distillate Co.", on behalf of the property owner, 124 17th St LLC.
BACKGROUND:
At the Planning Commission meeting on June 27, 2022, Planning Application 21-20 was requested to be continued by the applicant due to a public comment received by the adjacent property owner at 1700, 1706, and 1710 Newport Boulevard concerning proposed parking lot circulation. Specifically, the adjacent property owner was concerned that the proposed reconfigured parking spaces and new trash enclosure would conflict with vehicle access on his property and indirect access to Newport Boulevard. The applicant requested to continue the matter so that they could work with staff and the neighbor to address the issue and redesign the parking lot. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 (Vice Chair Zich and Commissioner Rojas absent) to continue the public hearing to their regular meeting on July 11, 2022.
The details and analysis of the proposed project can be found in the June 27, 2022 Planning Commission staff report and attachments at the link below:
