21.12.020 — Rules of Interpretation
A. Authority. The Director has the authority to interpret the meaning of provisions of this
Implementation Plan, including maps, and to apply and/or enforce the Implementation
Plan. The Director may also refer any interpretation to the Commission for input or a
determination. An interpretation made by the Director may be appealed or called for
review to the Commission in compliance with Chapter 21.64 (Appeals and Calls for
Review).
B. Language. When used in this Implementation Plan, the words "shall," "must," "will," "is to,"
and "are to" are always mandatory. "Should" is not mandatory, but is strongly
recommended, and "may" is permissive. The present tense includes the past and future
tenses; and the future tense includes the present. The singular number includes the plural
number, and the plural the singular, unless the common meaning of the word indicates
otherwise. The words "includes" and "including" shall mean "including, but not limited to."
C. Calculations.
Residential Density. When the number of dwelling units allowed on a site is
calculated based on the minimum site area per dwelling unit, any fraction of a unit
shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. For example, where a
residential coastal zoning district requires a minimum site area per dwelling unit of
one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet; a site of ten thousand (10,000)
square feet would be allowed six dwelling units.
Example: Ten thousand (10,000) sq. ft. site area/one thousand five hundred
(1,500) sq. ft. per unit = 6.66 dwelling units. This would be rounded
down to six dwelling units.
2. Other Calculations. For calculations other than residential density, the
fractional/decimal results of calculations shall be rounded to the next highest
whole number unless otherwise specified.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.12-1
5-18
3. Time Limits. Whenever a number of days is specified in this Implementation Plan,
or in a permit, condition of approval, or notice provided in compliance with this
Implementation Plan, the number of days shall be construed as calendar days
unless otherwise specified. Where the last of the specified number of days falls on
a weekend, holiday, or other day the City is not open for business, the time limit
shall extend to 5:00 p.m. on the following business day.
D. Conflicting Requirements. Where conflict occurs between the provisions of this
Implementation Plan and any other City Code, title, chapter, resolution, guideline, or
regulation, the Coastal Land Use Plan and this Implementation Plan shall control .
E. Unlisted Uses of Land. If a proposed use of land is not specifically listed in Part 2 of this
Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning
District Standards), the use shall not be allowed, except as provided below.
Director's Interpretation. The Director may determine that a proposed land use
that is not listed in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts,
Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards) may be allowed if
the following findings can be made:
a. The characteristics of, and activities associated with, the proposed use are
equivalent to those of one or more of the uses listed in the coastal zoning
district as allowable, and will not involve a greater level of activity,
population density, intensity, traffic generation, parking, dust, odor, noise,
or similar impacts than the uses listed in the coastal zoning district;
The proposed use will meet the purpose/intent of the coastal zoning district
that is applied to the location of the use;
C. The proposed use will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies
of the Coastal Land Use Plan;
d. The proposed use is not listed as allowable in another coastal zoning
district; and
e. The proposed use is not a prohibited or illegal use.
2. Applicable Standards and Permit Requirements. When the Director
determines that a proposed but unlisted land use is equivalent to a listed use, the
proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining
where the use is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and
requirements of this Implementation Plan apply.
F. Coastal Zoning Map Boundaries. If there is uncertainty about the location of a coastal
zoning district boundary shown on the official Coastal Zoning Map, the Director shall
determine the location of the coastal zoning district boundary in the following manner:
Where a district or area boundary approximately follows a lot line, street or alley
line, the lot line, street centerline, or alley centerline shall be construed as the
district boundary;
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.12-2
5-19
G
2. Where a district or area boundary divides a lot and the boundary line location is not
specified by distances indicated on the subject map, the location of the boundary
shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the map;
3. Where a public street or alley, or a portion thereof, is officially vacated or
abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included
within the coastal zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the
centerline of the vacated or abandoned street or alley;
4. Where a district or area boundary approximately follows the shoreline of the Pacific
Ocean, the boundary shall be construed to follow the mean high tide line; or
5. Where a district or area boundary approximately follows the waterfront of Newport
Bay, the boundary shall be construed to follow the bulkhead line.
Illustrations. In case of a conflict between the Implementation Plan text and any diagram,
illustration, or image contained in the Implementation Plan, the text shall control.
H. Guidelines. Guidelines augment and expand on the policies and regulations of the
Local Coastal Program. Guidelines are not quantitative standards and are therefore
subject to interpretation.
Use of Headings. The headings of the chapters, sections, and subsections of this
Implementation Plan, together with the accompanying examples and explanatory notes,
are inserted as a matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit, or enlarge
the scope or meaning of this Implementation Plan or its provisions.

21.14.030 — Coastal Zoning District Symbols
In addition to the coastal zoning district designations established under Section 21.14.020
(Coastal Zoning Districts Established) and the related development standards established in Part
2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning
District Standards), symbols are established on the Coastal Zoning Map for the purpose of
designating floor area ratio limits for nonresidential uses and density limits or the actual number of
allowed units for residential uses. When these symbols are placed on the Coastal Zoning Map,
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.14-2
5-22
the floor area ratios, dwelling unit limits or residential densities (minimums and maximums) as
indicated shall apply. In addition, individual locations/sites/lots are identified on the Coastal
Zoning Map by a number symbol where specific development limits and restrictions apply. These
development limits/restrictions shall apply in addition to those provided in Part 2 of this title
(Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards). The
symbols and limits shall be shown in the following manner:
A. Nonresidential Districts. A number following the district symbol shall designate the
maximum floor area ratio allowed for the nonresidential area designated.
Example: CG 0.5
B. Residential Districts.
A number following the district symbol designates the minimum site area required
per dwelling unit if the requirement differs from the district standard minimum.
Example: RM (2178)
2. Two numbers following the district symbol indicates that both the minimum and
maximum number of dwelling units are regulated. The first number designates the
site area used to calculate the minimum number of units required. The second
number designates the site area to be used to calculate the maximum number of
dwelling units allowed.
Example: RM (3100/2420)
3. A number followed by the DU symbol indicates the maximum number of dwelling
units allowed for the area designated. Where two numbers are shown, the first
represents the maximum number of units allowed, the second represents the
minimum number of units required.
Examples: RM 50 DU
RM 388/300 DU
C. Mixed -Use Districts. Allowed residential densities and floor area ratios for nonresidential
structures in mixed-use districts are not indicated on the Coastal Zoning Map, but are
provided in the development standards tables for mixed-use districts in Part 2 of this
Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning
District Standards).
D. Planned Communities (PC). Each PC District shall be shown on the Coastal Zoning Map
with a "PC" designator along with a sequential reference number.

21.16.040 Temporary Uses and Structures
21.16.050 Special Events
21.16.060 Additional Permits and Approvals May Be Required
21.16.010 — Purpose
The purpose of this part is to provide the general requirements of this Implementation Plan for the
approval of proposed development and land use activities. Land use requirements for specific
land uses are established by this Part 2 and Part 3 (Site Planning and Development Standards)
and Part 4 of this Implementation Plan (Standards for Specific Land Uses). Land use and
development approval and administrative provisions are established by Part 5 (Planning Permit
Procedures) and Part 6 of this Implementation Plan (Implementation Plan Administration).
21.16.020 — General Requirements for New Development
No new development (i.e., use of land demolition, alteration, construction, expansion,
reconstruction, or replacement of structures) shall be allowed unless the development complies
with this Implementation Plan and the requirements of this chapter.
A. Allowable Use. The land use shall be identified by Chapter 21.18 (Residential Coastal
Zoning Districts), 21.20 (Commercial Coastal Zoning Districts), 21.22 (Mixed -Use Coastal
Zoning Districts), 21.26 (Special Purpose Coastal Zoning Districts), or 21.28 (Overlay
Coastal Zoning Districts) as being allowable in the coastal zoning district applied to a site.
B. Coastal Development Permit Requirements. Coastal Development Permits required by
this Implementation Plan shall be obtained before the proposed use is commenced or the
development is constructed and any activities associated with the use are commenced, or
otherwise established or put into operation.
C. Development Standards. Uses and/or structures shall comply with all applicable
development standards of this part, the provisions of Part 3 (Site Planning and General
Development Standards) and Part 4 of this Implementation Plan (Standards for Specific
Land Uses), and other adopted criteria, guidelines, and policies adopted by the City
related to the use and development of land.
D. Conditions of Approval. Uses and/or structures shall comply with all conditions imposed
by a coastal development permit and other regulatory approvals. Failure to comply with
imposed conditions shall be grounds for an enforcement action in compliance with
Chapter 21.68 (Enforcement).
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.16-1
5-25
E. Reasonable Accommodations. The review authority may grant reasonable
accommodations (adjustments) to the City's coastal zoning and land use regulations,
policies, and practices when needed to provide an individual with a disability an equal
opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling in compliance with Federal and State fair housing
laws. A request for reasonable accommodation requiring a coastal development permit
may be approved or conditionally approved by the City if it is consistent with the certified
Local Coastal Program and the California Coastal Act to the extent feasible, and there are
no feasible alternatives for providing an accommodation at the dwelling that would provide
greater consistency with the certified Local Coastal Program.
G. Nonconforming Uses and Structures. Uses and structures that are determined to be
nonconforming as to the requirements of this Implementation Plan shall be subject to the
requirements and limitations of Chapter 21.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures).
21.16.060 — Additional Permits and Approvals May Be Required
A. Other Permits Required. An allowed land use or structure that is exempt from a coastal
development permit, or has been granted a coastal development permit, may still be
required to obtain other permits before the use is commenced or the structure is
constructed and any activities associated with the use are commenced, or otherwise
established or put into operation. Nothing in this section shall eliminate the need to obtain
any permits or approvals required by:
Other provisions of the Municipal Code (e.g., conditional use permits, minor use
permits, limited term permits, site development review, zoning clearances, building
permits, grading permits, other construction permits, live entertainment permit, or a
business license); or
2. Orange County, a special district, or any regional, State, or Federal agency.
B. Timing of Other Permits. No new development (i.e., use of land demolition, alteration,
construction, expansion, reconstruction or replacement of structures) shall be
commenced until all necessary permits have been obtained.
C. Report of Residential Building Records. The owner of any residential building shall
obtain from the City a report of the residential building records upon entering into an
agreement of sale. The owner shall file an application for such a report not later than three
days after entering into an agreement of sale.

21.22.010 — Purposes of Mixed -Use Coastal Zoning Districts
The purposes of the individual mixed-use coastal zoning districts and the manner in which they
are applied are provided below. For the purpose of this Implementation Plan, mixed-use projects
shall comply with nonresidential standards when no mixed-use standards exist.
A. MU -V (Mixed -Use Vertical) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of mixed-use structures that
vertically integrate residential dwelling units above the ground floor with retail uses
including office, restaurant, retail, and similar nonresidential uses located on the ground
floor or above.
B. MU -MM (Mixed -Use Mariners' Mile) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning
district applies to properties located on the inland side of Coast Highway in the Mariners'
Mile Corridor. Properties fronting on Coast Highway may be developed for
nonresidential uses only. Properties to the rear of the commercial frontage may be
developed for freestanding nonresidential uses, multi -unit residential dwelling units, or
mixed-use structures that integrate residential above the ground floor with nonresidential
uses on the ground floor.
C. MU-CV/15th St. (Mixed -Use Cannery Village and 15th Street) Coastal Zoning
District. This coastal zoning district applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a
cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi -unit residential dwelling
units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery
Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses may include multi -unit dwelling
units; nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is
restricted to nonresidential uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight
accommodations are allowed above the ground floor and to the rear of uses along the
street frontage. Mixed-use or nonresidential structures are required on lots at street
intersections and are allowed, but not required, on other lots.
D. MU -W1 (Mixed -Use Water) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district applies
to waterfront properties along the Mariners' Mile Corridor in which nonresidential uses and
residential dwelling units may be intermixed. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the allowed
square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential uses in which
marine -related and visitor -serving land uses are mixed as provided in Table 21.22-2.
Design of nonresidential space to facilitate marine -related uses is encouraged.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.22-1
5-44
E. MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district applies
to waterfront properties in which marine -related uses may be intermixed with general
commercial, visitor -serving commercial and residential dwelling units on the upper floors.
21.22.020 – Mixed -Use Coastal Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements
A. Allowed Land Uses. Tables 21.22-1 and 21.22-2 indicate the uses allowed within each
coastal zoning district.
B. Prohibited Land Uses. Any table cell with "—" means that the listed land use is prohibited
in that specific coastal zoning district.
C. Applicable Regulations. The last column in the tables ("Specific Use Regulations") may
include a reference to additional regulations that apply to the use.

Requirements
(1) All development and the subdivision of land shall comply with the requirements of Section 21.30.025 (Coastal
Zone Subdivisions).
(2) The standards for minimum lot area and lot width are intended to regulate sites for development purposes only
and are not intended to establish minimum dimensions for the creation of ownership or leasehold (e.g.,
condominium) purposes.
(3) A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential
uses.
(4) For the purpose of determining the allowable number of units, portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or
tidelands shall be included in land area of the site.
(5) Portions of legal lots that are submerged lands or tidelands shall be included in the net area of the lot for the
purpose of calculating the allowable floor area of structures.

review authority may only waive or modify the minimum density upon making the finding that the subject property
contains unique site constraints that prevent the project from complying with this standard.
(7) Density bonuses may be granted for the development of housing that is affordable to lower-, low-, and
moderate -income households and senior citizens in compliance with Government Code Sections 65915 through
65917. Any housing development approved pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 shall be consistent, to
the maximum extent feasible, and in a manner most protective of coastal resources, with all otherwise applicable
Local Coastal Program policies and development standards.

21.26.010 — Purposes of Special Purpose Coastal Zoning Districts
The purposes of the individual special purpose coastal zoning districts and the manner in which
they are applied are as follows:
A. OS (Open Space) Coastal Zoning District. The OS Coastal Zoning District is intended
to:
Provide areas for a range of public and private uses to protect, maintain, and
enhance the community's natural resources; and
2. Maintain and protect landscaped open space areas located within residential and
nonresidential developments, where no further development is allowed.
B. PC (Planned Community) Coastal Zoning District. The PC Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of coordinated,
comprehensive projects that result in a superior environment; to allow diversification of
land uses as they relate to each other in a physical and environmental arrangement while
maintaining the spirit and intent of this Implementation Plan; and to include a variety of
land uses, consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan, through the adoption of a
development plan and related text that provides land use relationships and associated
development standards.
C. PF (Public Facilities) Coastal Zoning District. The PF Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for public facilities, including community centers,
cultural institutions, government facilities, libraries, public utilities, and public schools.
D. PI (Private Institutions) Coastal Zoning District. The PI Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for privately owned facilities that serve the
public, including places for assembly/meeting facilities (e.g., religious assembly),
congregate care homes, cultural institutions, health care facilities, marinas, museums,
private schools, yacht clubs, and comparable facilities.
5-57
E. PR (Parks and Recreation) Coastal Zoning District. The PR Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for land used or proposed for active public or
private recreational use. Allowed uses include aquatic facilities, golf courses, marina
support facilities, parks (both active and passive), private recreational facilities, tennis
clubs and courts, and similar recreational facilities.
F. TS (Tidelands and Submerged Lands) Coastal Zoning District. The TS Coastal
Zoning District is intended to protect, maintain, and enhance the natural resources of the
tidelands and submerged lands of Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean immediately
adjacent to the City. This district is generally not applied to historic tidelands and
submerged lands that are presently filled or reclaimed.
21.26.020 – OS, PF, PI, PR, and TS Coastal Zoning Districts Land Uses
A. Allowed Land Uses. Table 21.26-1 indicates the uses allowed in the OS, PF, PI, and
PR Coastal Zoning Districts. Allowed uses in the TS Coastal Zoning District uses are
subject to the Common Law Public Trust, which limits uses to navigation, fishing,
commerce, public access, water -oriented recreation, open space and environmental
protection See Section 21.48.085 (Public Trust Lands).
B. Prohibited Land Uses. Any table cell with "—" means that the listed land use is
prohibited in that specific coastal zoning district.
C. Applicable Regulations. The last column in the tables ("Specific Use Regulations") may
include a reference to additional regulations that apply to the use.

I. Introduction and Purpose of the Planned Community
Development Plan (PCDP)
A. Introduction
The Back Bay Landing site is envisioned to be developed as an integrated,
mixed-use waterfront village on an approximately 7 -acre portion of a 31.5 -acre
parcel located adjacent to the Upper Newport Bay in the City of Newport Beach.
The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community
Development Plan (PCDP) to address land use designations and regulations in
Planned Communities. The Back Bay Landing PCDP serves as the controlling
zoning ordinance for the site and is authorized and intended to implement the
provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan.
The Back Bay Landing PCDP Design Guidelines provide a comprehensive vision
of the physical implementation of the project and have been drafted to assist the
City and community to visualize the architectural theme and desired character of
the development.
B. Project Location
The Back Bay Landing Planned Community (PC -9) is located within the City of
Newport Beach, in Orange County, California. The approximately 7 -acre primary
project area is generally located north of East Coast Highway and northwest of
Bayside Drive in the western portion of the City, as shown on Exhibit 1, Location
Map. The project area is bounded by the Upper Newport Back Bay to the north
and west, the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and the Bayside Village Mobile
Home Park to the east, East Coast Highway and various marina commercial and
restaurant uses south of the Highway to the southeast. As shown on Exhibit 2,
Planning Areas, the Back Bay Landing Planned Community is comprised of five
distinct Planning Areas: Mixed -Use Area (PA 1), Recreational and Marine
Commercial (PA 2), Existing Private Marina Access and Beach (PA 3), Marina and
Bayside Village Mobile Home Park Storage and Guest Parking (PA 4), and
Submerged Fee -Owned Lands (PA 5).
C. Purpose and Objectives
The purpose of the PCDP is to establish appropriate zoning regulations governing
land use and development of the site consistent with the City of Newport Beach
General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan. The PCDP provides a vision for the
land uses on the site, sets the development standards and design guidelines for
specific project approvals at the Site Development Review and Coastal
Development Permit (CDP) approval stage, and regulates the long term operation
of the developed site.
5-93
Implementation of the PCDP will:
- Provide a high quality mixed-use, marine -related, visitor -serving
commercial development with integrated residential units and a unified
architectural and landscape theme.
- Implement the MU -W2 (Mixed Use Water -Related 2) General Plan and
MU -W (Mixed Use Water Related) Coastal Land Use Plan categories on an
underutilized bayfront location in a manner that provides for commercial
development on or near the bay in a manner that will encourage the
continuation of coastal -dependent and coastal -related land uses and
visitor -serving uses, as well as allow for the development of mixed-use
structures with residential uses above the ground floor. Freestanding
residential uses shall be prohibited.
- Maintain and expand core coastal dependent and coastal -related land
uses, including the development of marina parking and enclosed dry stack
boat storage and launching facility.
- Provide new housing opportunities in response to demand for housing,
reduce vehicle trips and encourage active lifestyles by increasing the
opportunity for residents to live in proximity to jobs, services, entertainment,
and recreation.
- Protect and enhance significant visual resources from identified public
vantage points, such as Coast Highway, Castaways Park, and Coast
Highway -Bay Bridge, to the bay and the cliffs of upper Newport Beach
through view corridors designed into the project. New public view
opportunities will be created on-site.
- Expand bayfront access to and along the bay where it does not exist at the
present time, in a manner that protects environmental study areas (ESA)
and/or environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) and does not
adversely impact existing private residences adjacent to the site.
- Provide continuous public coastal access with a new minimum 12 -foot -wide
bayfront access promenade along the bayfront edge of Planning Areas 1, 2,
and 3. This new, public bayfront promenade will link the public docks and
marina property south of the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge along the bayfront,
to the Newport Dunes recreational area. In addition, bike lanes and
pedestrian access will be provided along Bayside Drive from the
intersection of Bayside Drive/East Coast Highway intersection running
northerly to the terminus of Bayside Drive at the Newport Dunes
recreational area.
5-94
D. Relationship to the Newport Beach Municipal Code
Whenever the development regulations contained in this PCDP conflict with the
regulations of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the regulations contained in this
PCDP shall take precedence. The Municipal Code shall regulate all development
within the PCDP when such regulations are not provided within the PCDP. All
construction within the Back Bay Landing PCDP (PC -9) shall be in compliance with
the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and all other ordinances
adopted by the City pertaining to construction and safety features. All words and
phrases used in this Back Bay Landing PCDP shall have the same meaning and
definition as used in the City of Newport Beach Zoning Code unless defined
differently in Section VIII, Definitions.
E. Relationship to Design Guidelines
Development within the site shall be regulated by both the Development Plan and
the Design Guidelines.
5-95
Development Limits and Land Use Plan
The development limits in this Development Plan are consistent with those established by
the General Plan and are identified in the following Table 1, Development Limits by
Planning Area. Parking structures, carts, kiosks, temporary and support uses are
permitted and are not counted towards square footage development limits. In addition,
the OCSD wastewater pump station shall not be counted towards square footage
development limits.

water and energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and waste reduction
shall be submitted with the Site Development Review application.
Sustainable programming shall be used to maximize efficiency by conserving
water, minimizing construction impacts, minimizing energy use and reducing
construction and post -construction waste. California -friendly landscaping shall
be utilized in public areas and reclaimed water use (if available) on-site or off-site
will further reduce water demand. Appropriate best management practices shall
be incorporated into landscape design. Energy reduction, recycling, and the
smart use of existing resources shall be implemented. The development shall
incorporate a walkable community design to promote walking and bicycling, and
thus reduce reliance on automotive transport.
The development shall include Low Impact Development (LID) features for storm
water quality improvement where none exist today. Potential LID features may
include storm water planters, permeable pavement and proprietary bioretention
systems. Through the development of a project -specific Water Quality

Review application addressing the potential for erosion, flooding and/or damage
from natural forces including, but not limited to, tidal action, waves, storm surge, or
seiches, prepared by a licensed civil engineer with expertise in coastal processes.
The conditions that shall be considered in a hazards analysis are: a seasonally
eroded beach/shoreline combined with long-term (75 years) erosion; high tide
conditions, combined with long-term (75 years) projections for sea level rise using
the best available science; storm waves from a 100 -year event or a storm that
compares to the 1982/83 EI Nino event.
P. Sea Level Rise and Shoreline Management
A sea level rise and shoreline management plan shall be prepared for the site and
submitted with the Site Development Review application. The plan shall address
shoreline areas of the site subject to tidal action, flooding, wave hazards and
erosion, and incorporate measures to adapt to sea level rise over time and provide
for the long term protection and provision of public improvements, coastal access,
public opportunities for coastal recreation, and coastal resources including beach
and shoreline habitat.
IV. Design Guidelines
The Back Bay Landing Design Guidelines are intended to express the desired character
of the future mixed-use waterfront village. These guidelines set parameters for future
design efforts and help achieve overall consistency and quality of architectural design
and landscape features at build -out. They also explore the aesthetic quality and
functionality of the upper limit of acceptable development intensity, and are structured to
allow the City considerable flexibility in review of future project submittals and subsequent
approvals. All development within the Planned Community shall be in conformance with
these Design Guidelines.
The purpose of the Design Guidelines is:
To provide the City of Newport Beach, the California Coastal Commission, and
future residents and visitors with the necessary assurances that, when completed,
the development will be built in accordance with the design character proposed
herein;
To provide guidance to developers, builders, engineers, architects, landscape
architects and other professionals in order to maintain the desired design
character and appearance of the project, as well as expand upon these concepts
in order to maximize the success of the development consistent with market
needs, aesthetic satisfaction, and community goals;
To provide guidance to the City Staff, Planning Commission, City Council
members and the California Coastal Commission in the review of future
development submissions; and
To encourage building plans that allow flexibility for innovative and creative design
solutions that respond to contemporary market trends.
A. Architectural Theme
The development shall be designed with a Coastal architectural theme. This
architectural theme is influenced by the marine climate of the California coastline,
with varied historical vernacular and casually elegant palette, with building forms
and massing that define and create unique and often seamless indoor/outdoor
spaces. The project will follow principles of quality design, exhibiting a high level
of architectural standards and shall be compatible with the surrounding area,
sensitive to scale, proportion, and identity with a focus on place -making. Massing
offsets, variation of roof lines, varied textures, openings, recesses, and design
accents on all building elevations shall be provided to enhance the architectural
design. The intent is not to select a historically specific or rigid architectural style
for the project, but to create an active, mixed-use village.
5-112
The project should accommodate marine -oriented and visitor -serving retail,
restaurants, enclosed dry stack boat storage, and residential uses, while
integrating the public spaces, bayfront promenade and plaza in a
pedestrian -friendly manner. The "village look" may be expressed through several
techniques. Visual interest may be created by multiple one-, two- and three-level
buildings, with varied roof heights and planes. Light and shadows may be created
through the use of trellises, decks, and canopies. The planes of the buildings
should include recesses and vertical elements to create the village feeling.
Varied roof heights should communicate the break-up of architectural forms.
The parking structure shall be designed to add to the public and visitor -serving
retail experience and be easily accessible. The project's architectural style, with
the recommended use of modern or traditional, sustainable materials, should
blend in color and form with existing similarly themed facilities within Newport
Beach, and provide a high standard of quality for future neighboring development.
Sample imagery is provided on Exhibit 11, Architectural Theme.
B. Site Planning
1. As illustrated in Exhibit 12, Conceptual Site Plan, the development shall be
designed as an integrated, mixed-use waterfront village that encourages
public access to and along the bayfront.
2. A public bayfront promenade shall be developed between the Balboa
Marina development to the south and the Newport Dunes and the regional
trail system to the east. Special features of this public bayfront promenade
shall include coastal plazas, vista points and connections with City/County
trails and Newport Dunes as shown on Exhibit 5, Public Spaces.
3. Back Bay Landing restaurants, visitor -serving commercial and plaza areas
shall be accessible to the community by public and private vehicular
transportation, pedestrian and bike paths, and public dock space.
4. Scenic view corridors should be incorporated throughout the project to
maintain or enhance existing coastal views from East Coast Highway as
shown on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors.
5. Outdoor dining and plaza areas shall be designed to interface with the
street and bayfront. Siting of outdoor dining facilities shall minimize
potential impacts on occupants of adjacent residential units.
6. The development shall create a strong pedestrian interface with the
waterfront, maximizing accessibility and providing visual corridors
enhancing the public/visitor experience.
5-113
7. Buildings should be arranged to create opportunities for public gathering
spaces, encourage outdoor living and invite patronage. Mixed-use areas
should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as
plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains, and other
similar elements.
8. The development shall promote connectivity throughout the village and to
adjacent developments and trails systems through the use of shared
facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and
walkways.
9. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks,
infrastructure equipment and utility vaults should be screened from public
right-of-way views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and
finishes compatible with adjacent buildings.
10. Site-specific analyses (wind patterns, noise assessments, etc.) and special
design features shall be incorporated into the proposed buildings
surrounding the OCSD pump station facility to offset potential noise and
odor control issues associated with the existing operations of the facility.
Indoor air conditioned spaces within the development shall include the
installation of odor filters, such as activated carbon filters or similar, to filter
indoor air.
C. Building Massing
1. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials,
design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote
visual interest and reduce massing.
2. Layering of wall planes and volumes are encouraged to provide rhythm,
dynamic building forms, and shadows.
3. Building massing should consist of a mix of heights to add visual interest and
enhance views to the bay above or between buildings.
4. Taller buildings should use articulation to create visual interest. Articulation
should include vertical and horizontal offsets, use of multiple materials and
finishes, and the entry/corner elements.
5. Towers or other vertical/prominent building features should be used to
accentuate key elements such as building entries, pedestrian nodes, plazas,
and courtyards.
6. To maintain a low profile at the corner of East Coast Highway and Bayside
Drive, the development should consist of reduced height commercial retail
5-114
buildings closest to the intersection and may step up in height further away
from the intersection, as shown on Exhibit 3, Building Heights.
D. Facade Treatments
1. Ground floors of commercial buildings should have storefront design with large
windows and entries encouraging indoor and outdoor retailing.
2. Architectural elements that create sheltered pedestrian areas are encouraged.
3. The quality of the pedestrian environment should be activated by
architecturally vibrant storefronts with features such as planter walls, outdoor
seating and dining spaces, enhanced trellises, accent or festive lighting,
awnings or canopies, large transparent windows, recessed openings and entry
ways.
4. Create a unified and consistent alignment of building facades that define and
address the street and waterfront.
5. Horizontal definition between uses, generally between the first and second
floor is strongly encouraged.
6. For residential uses, balconies and sill treatments are encouraged on upper
stories to articulate the facade.
7. Building facades should respect the public realm edge by controlling and
limiting encroachments that could impede pedestrian connectivity and retail
exposure. Building designs will be encouraged to support and activate the
public realm and plazas, and encourage accessibility.
8. "Back of House Areas" and service corridors shall be avoided along primary
street and waterfront elevations.
9. Roof -mounted mechanical equipment shall not be visible in any direction from
a public right-of-way, as may be seen from a point 6 feet above ground level,
including from the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge curb elevation. In addition,
screening of the top of the roof -mounted mechanical equipment may be
required if necessary to protect views.
10. Subject to the approval of the OCSD, the existing building exterior of the OCSD
facility located adjacent to East Coast Highway and at the property's
southwestern boundary shall undergo aesthetic improvements (refacing,
reroofing, etc.) to reflect the architectural design standards contained in this
PCDP. Should the OCSD facility be relocated and/or reconstructed, the
architectural design of the structure shall be compatible with the architectural
design of the Back Bay Landing development and design standards contained
5-115
in this PCDP or architectural design of adjacent developments, as determined
appropriate — during the Site Development Review process.
E. Public Views
1. As illustrated on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors, buildings
should be oriented to maximize view opportunities while minimizing the
visual impact of the building on existing view sheds.
2. Buildings proposed adjacent to the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge shall
preserve coastal views that are afforded due to the differential in height
between the elevation of the bridge and the elevation of the site. The
public coastal views shall be consistent with Section 4.4.1-8 of the Newport
Beach Coastal Land Use Plan policies.
3. A pedestrian view corridor shall be designed at the southeast corner of
Bayside Drive and East Coast Highway, shown as View Corridor 2 on
Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors, allowing northbound
pedestrians and motorists to see into the project and the coastal view
beyond.
4. The enclosed dry stack boat storage building shall be designed with
multiple heights to create a distinct view corridor from East Coast Highway
to the Bay, illustrated on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors.
This corridor shall be visible to north and south bound pedestrians,
bicyclists and motorists.
5. The development shall be designed to frame existing bay views and should
create new bay views where they are currently blocked by fencing and
outdoor vehicle/boat storage.
F. Parking and Parking Structure
1. Parking areas and structures shall promote efficient circulation for vehicles and
pedestrians.
2. Convenient, well -marked and attractive pedestrian access shall be provided
from parking areas and structures to buildings.
3. Parking facilities should be physically separated for non-residential uses and
residential uses, except for residential guest parking. If enclosed parking is
provided for an entire mixed-use complex, separate areas/levels shall be
provided for non-residential and residential uses with separate building
entrances, whenever possible.
5-116
4. A semi -subterranean level should be incorporated, if feasible, to minimize
height and bulk of parking structure.
5. Parking structures shall be screened from the public right—of-way to the
maximum extent feasible. Portions of the structure that cannot be screened
shall incorporate decorative screening, landscape walls, artistic murals, or
application of stylized facades.
6. Commercial retail and residential uses should wrap and mask the parking
structure.
7. The parking structure shall complement the design vocabulary of the attached
or adjacent buildings, and incorporate form, materials, color, and details from
the attached or adjacent buildings.
8. Adequate parking that is located within a convenient distance from the use it is
intended to serve shall be provided for all uses proposed on-site, as well as
marina users, displaced Bayside Village Mobile Home Park guest parking, and
for public access. General parking locations are shown on Exhibit 14, Parking
Plan.
9. The upper level of the parking structure shall be designed to eliminate vehicle
headlight and rooftop lighting spill-over.
10. To encourage alternative means of transportation, the parking structure shall
incorporate bicycle parking storage accommodations, and electric vehicle
charging stations.
G. Public Spaces
The development shall provide extensive outdoor public spaces, as shown on
Exhibit 5, Public Spaces, and described below.
1. An elevated coastal public view plaza is strongly encouraged. This elevated
plaza can provide exceptional public coastal view opportunities of Newport
Harbor and Upper Newport Bay.
2. A pedestrian and automobile plaza should be incorporated into the design that
seamlessly and safely blends pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular movement.
This plaza may provide an opportunity for valet parking, provided a valet
operation plan is reviewed and approved by the City. Bollards and potted
plants should define the plaza edge in a park -like setting and should visually
connect the east and west ends of the mixed-use project area as the center
point of the project, while still allowing unhindered pedestrian movement to the
retail areas and public bayfront promenade.
5-117
3. Restaurants shall be designed to be accessible from the public bayfront
promenade and should provide both indoor and outdoor dining areas with
scenic coastal views of the bay.
4. Vendor carts selling specialty items are encouraged in the outside plazas and
along retail walkways to enhance the shopping or dining experience by
activating the plaza areas. However, vendor carts shall not be permitted
within the 12 -foot -wide public bayfront promenade.
5. Passive recreation opportunities and waterfront viewing shall be provided
along the public bayfront promenade.
6. A public launching area and parking for kayak and paddleboard users shall be
incorporated into the development.
7. New marina boat -slip tenant lockers shall be provided near the entry to the
Bayside Village Marina.
8. Public restrooms for visitors to the site shall be provided along the public
bayfront promenade.
H. Landscaping
1. The landscaping should reflect the project's coastal marine location and
provide visual ties to the coastal bluffs, sand beaches, tidelands and wetlands,
tide pools, local marinas and sea life.
2. Creativity in combining plant materials to emulate natural features is
encouraged. Some examples of possible design strategies are using swaying
grasses to emulate water movement, using water fountains to emulate the
sound and rhythm of waves, and emulating sea colors in plant selection.
3. The use of water fountains, waterfalls, water sculptures, or water features are
encouraged.
4. Marine murals and other forms of public art are encouraged throughout the
project.
5. Landscaping should include tree plantings around buildings to enhance
architectural character and provide shade in the summer and sun in the winter.
6. California -friendly plant species with low watering requirements and
characteristics that are compatible with the climate, soils, and setting should
compose the majority of the plant palate.
7. The irrigation system shall be designed, constructed, managed, and
maintained to achieve a high level of water efficiency.
5-118
8. Landscaping in the view corridors should not block these views but rather
frame and enhance them.
9. Green walls, water features and selective placement of potted plants and trees
can improve and soften the appearance of the buildings while preserving and
enhancing desired views.
I. Hardscaping
1. An enhanced permeable paving should be used at the project entry to
create rich texture and color while also helping to mitigate urban runoff.
2. Pedestrian spaces should be developed with specialty paving to provide
interest and definition and compliment architectural and landscape
features.
3. Selection of hardscape material should reflect the coastal marine theme of
the project, for example: sand stone, sea glass, pebbles, drift wood,
ocean/beach inspired colors or textures, etc.
4. Private streets, driveways, and drive aisles should be multi-purpose and
accommodate pedestrian, bike, emergency vehicles, and slow automobile
movements. Generous use of planters, large pots and bollards are
encouraged with raised curbs only where necessary.
J. Signs
1. The preferred approach to signing is through creating a strong architectural
statement that announces development, rather than large distracting signs.
2. Monument signs identifying the development may be permitted at the primary
entrance off Bayside Drive and possibly the optional secondary entrance off
East Coast Highway, if approved.
3. Signage should be appropriately scaled to the building or surface onto which it
is placed, should not obscure important architectural features, and should be
readable by both pedestrians and drivers approaching the site.
4. Signage shall be integrated with the design and scale of the architecture.
5. A coordinated approach to signage throughout the development is particularly
important due to the multiple storefronts that are envisioned. Signs of similar
size, proportion, and materials should be used on each store.
5-119
V. Phasing
The Back Bay Landing mixed-use development is anticipated to be developed as one
phase during an 18- to 24 -month construction period. The integrated mixed-use and
parking structure combined with the relatively small site necessitates construction in a
single phase. The Back Bay Landing development will necessitate the construction of a
seawall/bulkhead, but does not include reconstruction of the existing Bayside Village
Marina.
The general sequence of construction is provided below although certain activities will
overlap thereby reducing the total duration of the project.
Demolition — 1 month
Excavation and De -watering — 2 months
Infrastructure / Foundations — 6 months
Vertical Construction — 15 months
Final Landscaping — 3 months
Bayside Drive Roadway Improvements and Trail — 4 months
Reconfiguration of Lot Line Adjustment Area — 6 months

DESIGN GUIDELINES
Primary vehicular access to the site will be from
Bayside Drive approximately 200 feet north
of the East Coast Highway intersection. This
project driveway would service both inbound
and outbound movements, improve the existing
driveway connection further into the site, and will
be relocated approximately 45 feet north of its
current location.
Intersection improvements will maintain the
existing left -turn lane, add a shared left -turn
through lane, and add an exclusive right turn
lane on the southbound approach of the
signalized intersection of Bayside Drive with East
Coast Highway. Project access enhancements
will include an exclusive left -turn lane on the
northbound approach of the Bayside Drive and
project driveway intersection.
Primary circulation includes two fire truck
turnarounds. An Emergency Vehicle Access from
Bayside Village Mobile Home Park provides an
additional layer of safety.
Secondary marina access for marina parking
and public storage is located directly off Bayside
Drive.
An optional secondary access located
approximately 430 feet west of the Bayside Drive
intersection with East Coast Highway, would add
an exclusive right -turn lane along westbound East
Coast Highway. This connection would allow for
inbound right -turn movements only. Outbound
movements would be prohibited.

Sewer
A new 8" sewer line is proposed to serve the
Back Bay Landing project. It will connect into
the existing 36" sewer line within Bayside
Drive north of the proposed project. Based
on the 2006 Strategic Plan Update for OCSD,
capacity exists within the existing 36" line to
accommodate the proposed project.
Water
The existing 30" water transmission line
traversing the project site will be abandoned
to minimize conflicts with the proposed project
and allow easy access and maintenance
to the proposed lines. Two alternatives are
currently proposed to replace the capacity
of the line and continue to provide reliable
water service in case of an emergency to the
western region of Newport Beach.
Additionally, a new 8" water line will serve the
proposed project and tie into the existing 12"
water line in Bayside Drive. The increased
demand on the existing line will be consistent
with the proposed sewer generation rates.
Water capacity is not anticipated to be
an issue based on the redundant water
transmission lines that surround the project
site.

21.28.010 — Purposes of Overlay Coastal Zoning Districts
The purposes of the individual overlay coastal zoning districts and the manner in which they are
applied are outlined below. An overlay district may be initiated as a Coastal Zoning Map
amendment in compliance with Chapter 21.14 (Maps). All development shall comply with the
applicable development standards (e.g., setbacks, height) of the underlying coastal zoning district
in addition to the standards provided in this chapter, if any. In situations where an inconsistency
occurs between the development standards of the underlying coastal zoning district and the
standards in this chapter the most restrictive standard shall prevail.
A. MHP (Mobile Home Park) Overlay Coastal Zoning District. The MHP Overlay Coastal
Zoning District is intended to establish a mobile home district on parcels of land developed
with mobile home parks. The regulations of this district are designed to maintain and
protect mobile home parks in a stable environment with a desirable residential character.
B. PM (Parking Management) Overlay Zoning District. The PM Overlay Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas where parking management plans are appropriate to ensure
adequate parking.
C. Bluff (B) Overlay Coastal Zoning District. The B Overlay District is intended to establish
special development standards for areas of the City where projects are proposed on
identified bluff areas. The specific areas are identified in Part 8 of this Implementation Plan
(Maps).
D. Canyon (C) Overlay Coastal Zoning District. The C Overlay District is intended to
establish development setbacks based on the predominant line of existing development
for areas that contain a segment of the canyon edge of Buck Gully or Morning Canyon.
The specific areas are identified in Part 8 of this Implementation Plan (Maps).
E. Height (H) Overlay District. The H Overlay District is intended to establish standards for
review of increased building height in conjunction with the provision of enhanced project
design features and amenities.

21.28.020 Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Coastal Zoning District.
A. Uses Allowed. Uses allowed in the MHP Overlay Coastal Zoning District include only
those uses listed below. When an MHP Overlay Coastal Zoning District is applied to an
area, all uses previously allowed in the underlying Coastal Zoning district are no longer
allowed.
Mobile Home Parks. Mobile home parks as regulated by the State of California
pursuant to the Mobile Home Parks Act (Health and Safety Code Section 18300)
and the California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Division 20).
2. Accessory Structures and Uses. Accessory structures and uses incidental to
the operation of mobile home parks (e.g., recreation facilities and/or community
centers of a noncommercial nature, either public or private, storage facilities for the
use of the mobile home park residents, and any other structures or uses that are
incidental to the operation of a mobile home park).
B. Land Use and Development Standards. The standards are those established by the
base zoning district (e.g., RM). The MHP Overlay does not modify land use or property
development regulations.
C. Removal of the Mobile Home Park Overlay District. Removal of the MHP designation
shall be initiated as a Coastal Zoning Map amendment through a Local Coastal Program
amendment. The Council shall not approve a Coastal Zoning Map amendment that would
remove the MHP designation from a property, unless all of the following findings have first
been made:
The proposed Coastal Zoning is consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan, and in
the event the proposed Coastal Zoning is Planned Community, the PC
Development Plan has been submitted and is consistent with the Coastal Land
Use Plan;
2. The property which is the subject of the Coastal Zoning Map amendment would be
more appropriately developed in compliance with the uses allowed by the
underlying base coastal zoning, or proposed Coastal Zoning, and if the underlying
base coastal zoning or proposed Coastal Zoning is Planned Community, that a PC
Development Plan has been submitted and the property would be more
appropriately developed with the uses specified in that development plan; and
3. A mobile home park phase out plan and report on the impact of conversion,
closure, or cessation of the use on the displaced residents of the mobile home park
has been prepared, reviewed, and found to be acceptable and consistent with the
provisions of the California Government Code.
a. A phase out plan shall not be found to be acceptable unless it includes all of
the following:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.28-2

cabanas, ramadas, and other substantial improvements and
tenants are to be relocated or appropriately compensated;
Methods of mitigating the housing impacts on tenants having low
and moderate incomes, elderly tenants, and tenants who are
handicapped; and
iii. The programs or other means that are to be implemented properly
address the housing impacts on those described in subsection
(B)(3)(a)(ii) of this section are mitigated.
For purposes of this finding, "low and moderate incomes" shall be defined
in compliance with the provisions of the City's Housing Element.
21.28.030 — Parking Management (PM) Overlay District
A. Parking Management District Plan Required. Before approving a Coastal Zoning Map
amendment reclassifying land to a PM Overlay District, the Commission and Council shall
approve a parking management district plan.
B. Establishment of Parking Management Program(s). The parking management district
plan shall identify existing and planned parking facilities and establish parking
management programs necessary to adequately serve the parking needs of the area and
address the following issues:
1. The provision of adequate, convenient parking for residents, guests, business
patrons, and visitors of the Coastal Zone;
2. Optimizing the use of existing parking spaces;
3. Providing for existing and future land uses;
4. Reducing traffic congestion;
5. Limiting adverse parking impacts on user groups;
6. Providing improved parking information and signage;
7. Generating reasonable revenues to cover City costs;
8. Accommodating public transit and alternative modes of transportation.
C. Exemptions. The parking management district plan shall also include a formula or
procedure establishing the extent to which commercial, residential, and mixed-use
properties shall be exempted from the requirements of Chapter 21.40 (Off -Street Parking).
E. Local Coastal Program Amendment Required. The implementation of any future
parking management district plans as a PM Overlay District shall require an amendment
to the Local Coastal Program approved by the Coastal Commission.

The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that development is consistent with the Coastal Land Use
Plan, complies with the standards of this chapter, produces an environment that is harmonious
with existing and future development, and protects the use and enjoyment of neighboring
properties.
The standards of this chapter apply to all coastal zoning districts. These standards shall be
considered in combination with the standards for each coastal zoning district in Part 2 (Coastal
Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards) and Part 4 of this
Implementation Plan (Standards for Specific Land Uses). Where there may be a conflict, the
standards that are most restrictive and/or most protective of coastal resources shall prevail.
All structures, additions to structures, and uses shall conform to the applicable standards of this
chapter as determined by the Director.

and infill development shall be allowed within and adjacent to the existing developed
areas in the Coastal Zone subject to the density and intensity limits and resource
protection policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan.
C. Non-residential Waterfront Development.
Applicability. This subsection applies to coastal development permit
applications for development on non-residential properties, including but not
limited, to coastal -dependent, marine -related and visitor -serving commercial uses,
fronting on the waterfront of Newport Bay, the Pacific Ocean, the Old Channel of
the Santa River (the Oxbow Loop), or the channels in West Newport. The Coastal
Land Use Plan and the Coastal Act protect coastal -dependent, marine -related and
visitor -serving commercial uses as priority commercial uses on properties on or
near the shoreline.
2. Considerations. In reviewing a coastal development permit application for
development, the review authority shall consider the following:
a. Whether the development reduces coastal -dependent commercial uses
and/or allows coastal -dependent uses to remain;
The suitability of the site to accommodate coastal -dependent uses;
C. The development's ability to accommodate coastal -related uses;
d. The development's ability to create waterfront public spaces and beaches,
with adjacent water access and docking facilities that serves as the identity
and activity "centers" of Newport Harbor for special events of
community/regional interest;
e. Potential impacts to existing coastal -dependent and coastal -related
developments, both on development site and on adjacent properties;
The adequacy of marine -related facilities and the present and foreseeable
demand for such facilities.
g. The compatibility of the proposed development with the height, bulk, scale
and building frontages of surrounding development;
Whether the development is so sited and designed as to minimize, and
where feasible, avoid shoreline hazards identified in compliance with
Section 21.30.015 (E) — Development in Shoreline Hazardous Areas; and
Whether any boating facilities (e.g. piers, pier platforms, gangways and
dock floats) associated with the non-residential waterfront development
are so sited and designed to protect, and where feasible, expand and
enhance public access to and along shoreline areas.

landward, as possible.
4. Geologic Stability Report. In addition to the coastal hazards report required
above, coastal development permit applications for development proposed in
shoreline areas of known or potential geologic or seismic hazards shall include a
geologic/soils/geotechnical report. The geologic/soils/geotechnical report shall
use the methodology in Appendix A and include the following:

must be employed to minimize the amount of fuel modification necessary
on public land.
h. No new division of land shall be allowed that would require new fuel
modification (e.g. vegetation removal) or new fuel breaks in
environmentally sensitive habitat (ESHA) or on public open space or park
lands to protect new development within the resultant lots.
7. Erosion Control Plan. Applications for development located within 100 feet of a
bluff or canyon edge involving substantial alterations to existing buildings or site
design, or construction of new buildings shall include a site-specific erosion control
plan. The plan shall be prepared by a registered engineer qualified in hydrology

5-173
shoreline features. The intent is to ensure that development is sited and designed to
minimize hazards to life and property; to ensure the structural integrity of bluffs and
canyons; to neither create nor contribute to erosion or adverse impacts on shoreline sand
supply and the shoreline; to maintain a system of harbor bulkheads that are essential to
the continued operation of Newport Harbor and to protect public access, public views, and
scenic qualities of the Coastal Zone; and to implement policies of the Coastal Land Use
Plan.
B. Applicability. This section applies to coastal development permit applications for
development applications on lots that abut or include bluffs, canyons, beaches, or the
shoreline.
C. Development Standards. Development proposed on coastal bluffs or within coastal
canyons or within shoreline areas identified in Section IV of Appendix A of this
implementation Plan are subject to the following standards:
Bluff and Canyon Setbacks.

fifty (50) feet of a bluff edge or canyon edge. Low -flow sprinkler heads with
matched precipitation rates shall be used when spray or rotor -type heads
are specified for watering shrubs and groundcover areas.
3. Protective Structures. The following standards shall apply to the construction of
protective structures:
a. Limits on Use. The construction of protective structures shall be
prohibited, except to protect coastal -dependent uses, or public beaches in
danger from erosion and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse
impacts on local shoreline sand supply, and existing structures that are:
(1) Not subject to recorded waivers of future protection.
(2) Threatened by natural hazards, provided that the protective
structures are limited to the minimum required to protect the
existing structure and located on private land, not State tidelands.
For purposes of this subsection, "existing structure" shall consist
only of a principal structure (e.g., residential dwelling, required
garage, second residential unit, etc.) and shall not include
accessory structures (e.g., cabanas, decks, landscaping, patios,
pools, stairs, tennis courts, etc.).
Enlargement and Expansion of Land Areas. The construction of
protective structures shall be prohibited for the purpose of enlarging or
expanding areas for new development or for new development. However,
this shall not preclude the expansion or encroachment into coastal waters
to the minimum extent necessary to repair, maintain, or replace an existing
protective device that is in general alignment with any adjacent protective
device(s). Under no circumstances shall the backfill be used to create new
usable land areas.
C. Use of Sand Berms and Sand Dunes. In shoreline areas, temporary
sand berms and/or permanent sand dunes may be installed to protect
structures from wave uprush, provided that their installation minimizes
significant impacts to coastal access and resources. Temporary sand
berms shall avoid all areas of existing southern foredune and southern
dune scrub habitat. When feasible, nonstructural methods (e.g., dune
restoration, sand nourishment, etc.) shall be used instead of shoreline
protective structures.

natural shoreline environment, and preserve or provide access to
public recreational lands and facilities.
e. Mitigation Required. Mitigation shall be required, either through fees or
other actions as applicable and feasible, for adverse impacts on local
shoreline sand supply, for loss of sandy beach and other coastal habitats,
and for adverse impacts to public access, visual, and other coastal
resources.
f. Periodic Monitoring Required. Periodic monitoring of the protective
device and surrounding site shall be required to examine excessive scour,
erosion, or other impacts to on-site and adjacent resources, exposure of
subsurface elements, as well as damage to the protective device or
movement from its initial footprint. The landowner shall apply for a coastal
development permit to undertake any necessary repair and maintenance
to return the structure to its authorized condition, including reburial of
exposed subsurface elements and/or visual treatment.
g. Limits on Authorization. Authorization of the protective device shall be
limited to the development being protected. Such permits shall expire when
the existing structure requiring protection is redeveloped, is no longer
present, or no longer requires a protective device, whichever comes first.
Coastal development permits shall also be conditioned to require the
removal of shoreline protective devices when they are no longer needed.

21.30.050 — Grade Establishment
This section provides regulations for establishing the slope and grade of a lot for the purpose of
identifying the surface from which to measure structure height to be used in conjunction with the
provisions of Section 21.30.060 (Height Limits and Exceptions).
A. Establishment of Slope. In order to determine which of the two methods to use to
establish the grade of the lot from which to measure structure height as provided in
subsection (B) of this section, it is first necessary to determine the slope of the lot as
follows:
1. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely
approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided
polygon shall not be smaller than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be
located entirely within the buildable area of the lot (see Figure 3-2);
2. The slope of the polygon shall be determined using the highest and lowest elevation at
any of the four corners of the polygon and the distance between the respective
corners;
3. If the location of the polygon selected by the applicant is not clearly representative of
the lot's topography or representative of the prevailing slopes on adjoining lots
because of retaining structures or previous excavation/fill, the Director shall establish
the appropriate area to be used to determine the slope of the lot.
Figure 3- 2 Area for Determining Slope
B. Establishment of Grade. The grade of a lot shall be established by one of the following
methods unless the Director establishes the grade in compliance with subsection (C) of
this section (Establishment of Grade by Director).
Subdivisions. If the City approves or has approved a grading plan in conjunction
with an approved subdivision, the established grade shall be the finished grade as
shown on the grading plan or final subdivision map.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-20
5-182
2. Five Percent or Less Slope. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is
five percent or less, the grade of the surface from which structure height is
measured shall be a plane established using the average of the elevations at each
corner of the four-sided polygon. Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established
grade elevation from which to measure structure height.
3. More than Five Percent Slope.
a. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is greater than five
percent, the established grade from which structure height is measured
shall be a plane established by determining the elevation of the lot at five
evenly spaced points along each of the two side property lines and
connecting each of the points along a side property line with the
corresponding point on the opposite side property line.
The five evenly spaced points along each side property line shall be located
so that one point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with
the side property line and another point is located at the intersection of the
rear setback line with the side property line. The other three points along
the side property line shall be located so that all five points are equidistant
from each other (see Figure 3-3).
Figure 3- 3 Slope Greater than Five Percent
C. On lots that slope an average of twenty (20) percent or greater, or on
irregularly shaped or sloping lots, the Director may require that additional
points of elevation be provided.
C. Establishment of Grade by Director. If the Director finds that the existing grade on the
subject lot has been previously altered (e.g., contains retaining structures, property line
walls, planters, or excavation/fill), or other conditions are present to the degree that the
existing grade is not representative of the prevailing grades on adjoining lots and/or the
general area and, therefore, is not appropriate for the purpose of establishing the grade of
the subject lot, the Director may establish the grade that is reasonable and comparable
with the grades of adjoining lots and that will not be detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements on adjoining lots.

21.30.060 — Height Limits and Exceptions
A. This section establishes regulations for determining compliance with the maximum
allowable height limits established for each coastal zoning district by Part 2 of this
Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning
District Standards).
B. Height of Structures and Measurement.
Structure Height Established. Structures shall not exceed the maximum
allowable height for the coastal zoning district in which the structure is located,
except as provided in subsection (C) of this section (Increase in Height Limit) or
subsection (D) of this section (Exceptions to Height Limits).
2. Height Measurement. Height shall be measured as the vertical distance from the
established grade of the pad to the highest part of the structure, including any
protective guardrails and parapet walls. Structures with sloping roofs shall be
measured to the highest peak of the roof. Structures with flat roofs shall be
measured to the top of the roof, guardrail, or parapet wall. The established grade of
the pad shall be determined by one of the methods identified in Section 21.30.050
(Grade Establishment).
3. Flood Hazard Areas.
a. Top of Slab Elevation for Interior Living Areas. The minimum required
top of slab elevation for interior living areas of all new development within
flood hazard areas shall be as established by the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps recognized by the Building Division as part of flood safety
requirements and maps adopted by the Council. Notwithstanding the
building elevations established by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, the
minimum required top of slab elevation for interior living areas of all new
structures/new development shall be at least 9.00 (NAVD 88).
(1) Sea Level Rise. The minimum required top of slab elevation for
interior living areas may be increased as necessary to minimize
hazards associated with long-term sea level rise over the economic
life of the structure identified in the coastal hazards report pursuant
to Section 21.30.015(E)(2). To address the uncertainty inherent in
sea level rise projections (see Appendix A), adjustments to the top
of slab elevation may be based on a moderate sea level rise
scenario within the projected range of possible sea level rise
amounts identified by the current best available science, so long as
the structure's design can, if necessary, accommodate future
adaptation measures for the high sea level rise scenario that
comply with the certified LCP and do not result in coastal resource
impacts.
Height Measurement. The height of a principal structure shall be
measured from the top of slab elevation.
C. Accessory Structures.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-22
5-184
The height of accessory structures, except fences, hedges, walls,
and retaining walls (see Section 21.30.040) shall be measured from
existing grade of the lot prior to construction.
Exception: When a new principal building is required to have the top
of slab constructed at elevation 9.00 NAVD88 and when the grade
surrounding the new principal building is proposed to be increased,
the height of accessory structures shall be measured from the
proposed finished grade.
4. Structures on Ocean Boulevard. New structures and additions/changes to
existing structures on the bluff side of Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar shall not
be constructed to a height greater than the elevation of the adjacent curb. The top
of curb height limit shall be established by a plane created by the extension of the
top of curb line across each lot.
C. Increase in Height Limit.
Procedure. The height limits established in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan
(Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District
Standards) may be increased within specified areas with approval of a coastal

21.30.070 — Outdoor Lighting
This section establishes outdoor lighting standards in order to reduce the impacts of glare, light
trespass, overlighting, sky glow, and poorly shielded or inappropriately directed lighting fixtures,
and promote safety and encourage energy conservation.
A. General Outdoor Lighting Standards.
All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be designed, shielded, aimed, located, and
maintained to shield adjacent properties, and not flood light toward the shoreline,
coastal waters and coastal bluffs and to not produce glare onto adjacent
properties, roadways, the shoreline, coastal waters or coastal bluffs. Parking lot
light fixtures and light fixtures on buildings shall be full cut-off fixtures.
2. Flashing, revolving, or intermittent exterior lighting visible from any property line or
street shall be prohibited, except if approved as an accessory feature on a
temporary basis in conjunction with a special event.
3. A photometric study may be required as part of an application for a coastal
development permit if it is determined that there is potential for a negative impact
to surrounding land uses or sensitive habitat areas.
4. If in the opinion of the Director existing illumination creates an unacceptable
negative impact on surrounding land uses or sensitive habitat areas the Director
may order the dimming of light sources or other remediation upon finding that the
site is excessively illuminated.
B. Light Standards within Parking Lots. Light standards within parking lots shall be the
minimum height required to effectively illuminate the parking area and eliminate spillover
of light and glare onto adjoining properties and roadways. To accomplish this, a greater
number of shorter light standards may be required as opposed to a lesser number of taller
standards.
C. Outdoor Lighting Standards for Buildings, Statues, Other Manmade Objects, and
Landscapes. Spotlighting or floodlighting used to illuminate buildings, statues, signs, or
any other objects mounted on a pole, pedestal, or platform or used to accentuate
landscaping shall consist of full cut-off or directionally shielded lighting fixtures that are
aimed and controlled so that the directed light shall be substantially confined to the object
intended to be illuminated to minimize glare, sky glow, and light trespass. The beam width
shall not be wider than that needed to light the feature with minimum spillover. The lighting
shall not shine directly into the window of a residence or directly into a roadway. Light
fixtures attached to a building shall be directed downward.
D. Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas. See Section 20.3013.030 (E) (5).
21.30.075 — Landscaping
A. Applicability. This section applies to development adjacent to or containing a beach,
wetland, or sand dune, coastal bluff, coastal canyon, or within 50 feet of the edge of a
coastal bluff or stream, or in an environmentally sensitive habitat area shall provide
landscaping in compliance with this section.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-30
5-192
B. General Landscape Standards.
Impervious Surfaces in R-1 and R-2 Coastal Zoning Districts.
a. Impervious surface areas, excluding driveways, shall not exceed fifty (50)
percent of the front yard area with the remaining area landscaped with
plant material. The use of pervious materials for walkways, porches, and
outdoor living areas is allowed.
Where the typical neighborhood pattern of front yards has been developed
with hardscaped outdoor living areas that exceed the fifty (50) percent
maximum for impervious surfaces the Director may waive this requirement.
2. Safety Requirements. Landscape materials shall be located so that at maturity
they do not:
a. Interfere with safe sight distances for vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian traffic
in compliance with Section 21.30.130 (Traffic Safety Visibility Area);
Conflict with overhead utility lines, overhead lights, or walkway lights; or
C. Block roadways, pedestrian access, or bicycle ways.
3. Plant Selection and Grouping. Plant materials appropriate to habitat type shall
be selected for low water demand and drought tolerance; adaptability and
relationship to the Newport Beach environment, and the geological and
topographical conditions of the site; color, form, and pattern; ability to provide
shade; and soil retention capability.
a. Drought Tolerant Species. Landscape designs shall emphasize the use
of drought tolerant plant species (xeriscape).
Invasive Plant Species. Invasive plants are generally those identified by
the California Invasive Plant Council and California Native Plant Society in
their publications. Established invasive species shall be removed and the
planting of invasive species shall be prohibited in the following areas:
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA) and ESHA buffer
areas.
Fuel modification zones abutting an ESHA and sites where a
biological survey has identified significant natural habitat.
Natural habitat and non -urbanized areas
iv. Within fifty (50) feet of a designated environmentally sensitive
habitat area.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-31
5-193
C. Dune Habitats. Plant materials in southern coastal foredune and
southern dune scrub habitat areas shall be restricted to native plant
species.
d. ESHA Buffers. See Chapter 21.308 (Environmentally Sensitive Areas).
e. Deciduous Trees. Landscape designs shall maximize the use of
deciduous trees.
f. Grouping of Plants. Plants having similar water use requirements shall be
grouped together in distinct hydrozones.
4. Maintenance.
a. Landscape materials and landscaped areas shall be maintained in
compliance with an approved landscape plan.
b. Landscaped areas shall be maintained in a healthy and growing condition
and shall receive regular pruning, fertilizing, mowing and trimming.
C. Landscaped areas shall be kept free of weeds, debris, and other
undesirable materials.
d. Irrigation systems shall be kept in good operating condition, including
adjustments, replacements, repairs, and cleaning as part of regular
maintenance. Adjustments to eliminate overspray or runoff shall be made
on a regular basis.
e. The non-native and invasive ornamental plant species shall be removed in
areas where such materials are restricted or prohibited by subsection (3)(b)
of this Section.
f. Landscape materials and landscaped areas shall be maintained to
minimize impacts to public viewsheds to the greatest extent feasible.
C. Water Waste Prohibited. Water waste resulting from an inefficient irrigation system
leading to excessive runoff, low head drainage, overspray, and other similar conditions
where water flows onto adjacent property, nonirrigated areas, walks, roadways, or
structures is prohibited. Use of recycled/reclaimed water for irrigation instead of potable
water is encouraged.
D. Fuel Modification. See Section 21.30.015 (E)(8)
21.30.085 — Water Efficient Landscaping
A. Applicability. All planting, irrigation, and landscape -related improvements required by
this section shall apply to the following:

21.30.105 — Cultural Resource Protection
A. Archaeological/Paleontological Resources.
1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this regulation is to ensure that
archaeological/paleontological cultural resources are afforded protection on sites
known to contain or are suspected of containing archaeological/paleontological
cultural resources. This regulation provides for the determination of the nature and
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-35
5-197
extent of on-site archaeological/paleontological cultural resources during the early
stages of planning for the development of the site, thereby allowing for a full range of
mitigation options. Accordingly, development sites with known or high potential for
the presence of archaeological/paleontological cultural resources are required to be
analyzed through a comprehensive archaeological research plan (ARP) and
implemented through a coastal development permit, prior to consideration of a permit
to develop the site. By this process, the ARP is then used to guide any subsequent
development of a site. The ARP, when properly designed and reviewed by qualified
archaeologists, along with consultation with Native American groups with ancestral
ties to the area can establish whether the site was used in prehistoric times by Native
Americans, determine whether evidence of that use remains and provide for the in situ
preservation of intact significant resources and other mitigation options to otherwise
protect significant cultural resources on site. The regulation also provides procedures
for archaeological and Native American monitoring of grading and other activities
during project development in order to ensure that any newly discovered cultural
resources are protected.
2. Applicability. The requirements in this subsection of this section shall apply to all
coastal development permit applications that involve grading, or excavation, or other
development activity that may impact archaeological/paleontological cultural
resources and that have one or more of the following characteristics:
a. Projects located within 300 feet of an identified
paleontological/archaeological site in the Coastal Resources Information
Center database of California State Fullerton, where
archaeological/paleontological cultural resources cultural resources are
reasonably suspected to be present or areas identified by or otherwise
known to the City as having potential paleontological/archaeological sites.
Where evidence of potentially significant paleontological/archaeological
resources is found in an initial study conducted pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
3. Procedures. All applicable projects shall comply with the following procedures:
a. Preparation and Implementation of an Archaeological Research Plan
(ARP).
(1) When an ARP is Required. When a development is proposed in an
area where there are known or has potential for archaeological or
paleontological resources on the site an Archaeological Research Plan
(ARP) shall be prepared by a qualified archaeologist/paleontologist and
implemented through a coastal development permit before the
submittal of a coastal development permit for the proposed
development of the site. The purpose of the ARP is to determine
whether or not significant cultural resources are present, determine the
boundaries of cultural resources, and provide measures that result in
the avoidance and/or minimization of impact to archaeological or
paleontological cultural resources present on the site. A coastal
development permit is required to implement an ARP since such
implementation involves development (e.g., excavating shovel test pits,
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-36
5-198
trenching, etc.) that has the potential to result in significant impacts to
known or suspected on site cultural resources.
Subsequent development of the site shall be subject to approval of a
coastal development permit and shall be guided by the results of the
approved ARP.
(2) Elements of the ARP. At a minimum, the ARP shall:
(a) include a statement of the qualifications of the preparer and shall be
prepared in accordance with current professional practice, in
consultation with appropriate Native American groups as identified by
the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and be reviewed
by at least three archaeologists (peer review committee), NAHC, and
the State Historic Preservation Officer. The peer review committee
shall be convened in accordance with current professional practice and
shall be comprised of qualified archaeologists;
(b) be designed and carried out with the goal of determining the extent
of on-site cultural resources and shall include, but not be limited to,
postulation of a site theory regarding the
archaeological/paleontological cultural history and pre -history of the
site, the types and quantities of resources expected to be encountered,
identification of their significance (which shall not be limited to whether
any site is eligible for listing in the National or State Register of Historic
Places), the potential impacts of development to those resources,
investigation methods to be implemented in order to locate and identify,
in the least destructive manner, all archaeological/paleontological
cultural resources on site.
(c) include a Mitigation Plan taking into consideration the
archaeological/cultural resources discovered as a result of the
investigation and shall be based on a full range of mitigation options
including avoidance of impact to significant resources, measures
designed to reduce or eliminate those impacts, including maintaining
significant intact cultural resources "in situ.".
(d) also include recommendations for monitoring and mitigation during
any approved subsequent grading or other development activity in
order to avoid impacts to additional archaeological/cultural resources
should they be discovered.
The approved ARP, prepared as specified above, shall be fully
implemented prior to submittal of a coastal development permit application
for subsequent grading or development of the site.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-37
5-199
Subsequent Monitoring and Mitigation Plan to be Implemented in
Conjunction with Approval of a Coastal Development Permit for
Project Grading and Construction Activities.
(1) Even after implementation of an approved ARP, prepared in
accordance with the above provisions. Therefore, a coastal
development permit application for any subsequent development at the
site shall include the submittal of evidence that the approved ARP,
including all mitigation, has been fully implemented. Further, the
coastal development permit for subsequent development of the site
shall include the requirement for the submittal of a Monitoring and
Mitigation Plan to be implemented during any site grading, utility
trenching or any other development activity that has the potential to
uncover or otherwise disturb archaeological/cultural resources and
shall provide for appropriate mitigation measures for any additional
resources that are found. The elements of the Monitoring and
Mitigation Plan shall be consistent with section 2 (a) above and specify
that sufficient archaeological and Native American monitors must be
provided to assure that all activity that has the potential to uncover or
otherwise disturb cultural deposits will be monitored at all times while
those activities are occurring. The Monitoring Plan shall be on-going
until grading activities have reached sterile soil. The plan shall include
at a minimum:
(a) Procedures for selecting archaeological monitor(s) qualified by
the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) standards,
and Native American monitor(s) with documented ancestral ties
to the area, and well as the Native American most likely
descendant (MLD), when State law mandates indentification of
a MLD, appointed consistent with the standards of the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC), to monitor all grading
and/or excavation activities;
(b) Procedures that shall be followed should grading operations or
excavations uncover paleontological/archaeological resources,
including,
A requirement that all development activity within a
minimum 50 feet of the discovery or a greater area to be
determined by the archeologist or paleontologist shall be
suspended and the Director shall be immediately notified of
the discovery to avoid destruction of resources until a
determination can be made as to the significance of the
paleontological/archaeological resources;
A requirement that compliance with the applicable State
and Federal laws shall occur upon the discovery of any
human remains; and
iii. A requirement that a significance testing plan be
undertaken to determine the significance of the discovery
and the procedures to be followed to allow for
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-38
5-200
recommencement of development following the
significance determination, including the requirement for a
supplemental archaeology plan if the resources are found
to be significant.
(2) The Monitoring and Mitigation Plan shall include demonstration of
a good faith effort to avoid impacts to the resources through
measures including project redesign, in situ
preservation/capping, and placing cultural resource areas in open
space; if avoidance of the resource is not feasible, a recovery
and/or relocation plan for mitigating the effect of the development
shall be required.
B. Historical and Architectural Resources.
Applicability. The requirements in this subsection of this section shall apply to
all coastal development permit applications involving the expansion,
reconstruction, structural alteration, or demolition of structures or sites having one
or more of the characteristics listed below:
a. A site listed, or containing a building, monument, object, or structure that is
listed, on the:
Newport Beach Register of Historical Property;
California Register of Historical Resources; or
iii. National Register of Historic Places.
A site where evidence of potentially significant historical resources is found
in an initial study conducted in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Sections
21000 et seq.).
2. Initial Evaluation. An application for approval of any project or development
activity involving a historic resource identified in Subsection A, above, shall be
reviewed to determine whether the project may have a substantial adverse impact
as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), on an historical
resource.
3. Site -Specific Study. If the initial evaluation indicates that the proposed
development may result in significant impacts to historical resources, the Director
shall have the authority to require a site-specific study to be performed by a
qualified professional. The study shall describe the significance of the resources;
discuss the possible adverse impacts; and identify mitigation measures designed
to reduce or eliminate those impacts.
4. Rehabilitation Incentives. The following incentives may be available to owners
of historic properties identified in Subsection (A)(1) (Applicability), above:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30-39

This Chapter provides procedures and standards for the preservation, dedication, and
improvement of public access to, and along the shoreline and coastal blufftops, in conjunction
with development in the Coastal Zone. The intent is to ensure that public rights of access to the
shoreline are protected as guaranteed by the California Constitution , and achieve the basic state
goals of maximizing public access to the coast and public recreational opportunities, as set forth
in the Coastal Act (Sections 30000 through 30900); to implement the public access and recreation
policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act (Sections 30210-30255) and the applicable policies of the
Coastal Land Use Plan; and where feasible, expanded and enhanced; to ensure public access to
coastal bluff tops. The public access procedures and standards of this Chapter shall be carried
out in a reasonable manner that considers the equities and that balances the rights of the
individual property owner with the public's constitutional right of access pursuant to Section 4 of
Article X of the California Constitution.
21.30A.020 — Applicability

safety problem, the reviewing body may waive this standard where such
restrictions are needed to protect public safety and where no other feasible
alternative exists to provide public safety.
b. Mitigation. Development that results in restrictions on public parking
shall provide an equivalent quantity of public parking nearby as mitigation
for impacts to coastal access and recreation, where feasible.
3. Protection of Existing Public Parking. Existing public parking that supports
public access shall be protected. Any development that results in a reduction of
public parking supporting public access shall provide an equivalent quantity of
public parking nearby as mitigation.
4. Use of Parking Areas During Low -Demand Periods. Commercial or institutional
development causing or contributing to adverse impacts to public access or
recreation may be conditioned to allow public use of private parking areas for
public access outside of normal business hours (i.e., on weekends and holidays),
where feasible. Parking areas may be used for motor vehicle parking, bicycle
parking, or in conjunction with public transit or shuttles that serve coastal
recreational areas.
5. Parking for Vertical Accessways. Parking shall be provided by the developer in
conjunction with new or improved vertical accessways, whenever feasible and
consistent with site constraints, environmental constraints, and safety conditions.

Public Prescriptive Rights.
Location of Development Where Public Prescriptive Rights Identified. The
design and siting of development shall not interfere with the potential public rights
based on historic public use; unless the review authority determines that
replacement public access of an equivalent type (i.e. vertical or lateral access),
existing intensity of use by the public, and area will be provided on, or immediately
adjacent to, the development site.
2. Condition Not Determinative of Public Prescriptive Rights. An access
condition shall not serve to extinguish, adjudicate or waive potential public
prescriptive rights. The following language shall be added to the access
condition in a permit with possible public prescriptive rights:
"Nothing in this condition shall be construed to constitute a waiver
of, or a determination on, an issue of public prescriptive rights that
may exist on the lot itself or on the designated easement."
Modification or Waiver of Public Access Design Standards. The public access
design standards specified in Section 21.30A.050(A) may be modified or waived if,
based on a feasibility analysis, supported by substantial evidence, it is not feasible to
comply with the City -preferred public access requirement.
Marine Service Equipment Detours. Where marine service equipment and
operations present security or public safety concerns, waterfront access detours
are necessary in order to maintain facilities and services essential to the operation
of the harbor.
2. Coastal Bluff Access. The coastal bluff access design standards specified in
Section 21.30A.050 (B) may be waived or modified in the following situations:
a. When the design of the existing local street system and/or the location of
existing public trails and walkways cause all or a portion of such access to
be physically infeasible and there are no design alternatives capable of
overcoming these constraints.
When the applicant can demonstrate, based on an engineering analysis,
including slope stability analysis and erosion rate estimates, that all or a
portion of such access is physically infeasible and there are no design
alternatives capable of overcoming topographical or site constraints that
jeopardize public safety or fragile coastal resources.
3. Mitigation. Should public access design standards specified in Section
21.30A.050(A) be modified or waived, the reviewing authority shall require the
applicant to mitigate for the project's access impacts in an alternative manner that
is roughly proportional to the project's impact on public access and in substantial
conformance with the requirements of this section.
K. California Coastal Trail (CCT). The City shall coordinate and collaborate with state
agencies in planning and implementing the Newport Beach segment of the California
Coastal Trail.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30A-9
5-220
Goals and Objectives. It is intended that the CCT system shall be designed and
implemented to achieve the following goals and objectives:
a. Provide a continuous walking and hiking trail as close to the ocean as
possible;
Provide maximum access for a variety of non -motorized uses by utilizing
parallel trail segments where feasible;
C. Maximize connections to existing and proposed local trail systems;
d. Ensure that the trail has connections to trailheads, parking areas, transit
stops, inland trail segments, etc. at reasonable intervals;
e. Maximize ocean views and scenic coastal vistas; and,
Provide an educational experience where feasible through interpretive
programs, kiosks, and other facilities.
2. Site Planning and Design Standards. In addition to the site planning and design
criteria in Section 21.30A.50(A), implementation of the CCT shall:
a. Be sited and designed to be located along or as close to the shoreline as is
physically and aesthetically feasible. Where it is not feasible to locate the
trail along the shoreline due to natural landforms or legally authorized
development that prevents passage at all times, inland bypass trail
segments located as close to the shoreline as possible should be utilized.
Shoreline trail segments that may not be passable at all times should be
augmented by inland alternative routes. Special attention should be given
to identifying any segments that may need to be incorporated into
water -crossing structures and that necessarily must be placed within
Caltrans right -of way.
Where gaps are identified, interim segments should be employed to ensure
continuity of the coastal trail. Interim segments should be noted as such,
with provisions that as opportunities arise, the trail shall be realigned as
close as possible to its optimum location. Interim trail segments should
meet as many of the CCT objectives and standards as possible.
C. Be designed and located to minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive
habitat areas and prime agriculture lands to the maximum extent feasible.
Where appropriate, trail access should be limited to pass and repass.
Where necessary to prevent disturbance to sensitive species, sections of
the trail may be closed on a seasonal basis. Alternative trail segments shall
be provided where feasible. For situations where impact avoidance is not
feasible, appropriate mitigation measures should be identified, including
but not limited to use of boardwalks, reducing width of trails, protective
fencing and drainage measures along edges of agricultural land, etc.
d. Be located to incorporate existing oceanfront trails and paths and support
facilities of public shoreline parks and beaches to the maximum extent
feasible.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30A-10
5-221
e. Be designed to avoid being located on roads with motorized vehicle traffic
where feasible. In locations where it is not possible to avoid siting the trail
along a roadway, the trail should be located off of the pavement and within
the public right-of-way, and separated from traffic by a safe distance or by
physical barriers that do not obstruct, or detract from, the scenic views and
visual character of their surroundings. In locations where the trail must
cross a roadway, safe under- or over -crossings or other alternative
at -grade crossings should be considered in connection with appropriate
directional and traffic warning signage.
f. To maximize access to the CCT, adequate support facilities, such as
parking areas and trailheads, should be provided.
21.30A.060 — Access Title and Guarantee
Where public coastal accessways are proposed by an applicant or required as a condition of
approval of a coastal development permit or other authorization, a guarantee of the access
through deed restriction, or dedication of right-of-way or easement shall be required. Prior to the
issuance of a coastal development permit or other authorization, the method and form of the
access guarantee shall be approved by City Attorney, and shall be recorded in the office of the
County Recorder, identifying the precise location and area to be set aside for public access. The
method of access guarantee shall be chosen according to the following criteria:
A. Deed Restriction. A deed restriction shall be used only where an owner, association or
corporation agrees to assume responsibility for maintenance of and liability for the public
access area, subject to approval by the Director.
B. Grant of Fee Interest or Easement. A grant of fee interest or easement shall be used
when a public agency or private organization approved by the City Council is willing to
assume ownership, maintenance and liability for the access.
C. Offer of Dedication. An offer of dedication shall be used when no public agency or private
organization is known to be willing to accept fee interest or easement for accessway
maintenance and liability. These offers shall not be accepted until maintenance
responsibility and liability is established.
D. Maintenance. A dedicated public accessway shall not be required to be opened to
public use until a public agency or private association approved by the City Council agrees
to accept responsibility for maintenance and liability of the access, except in cases where
immediate public access is implemented through a deed restriction.
21.30A.070 [RESERVED]
21.30A.080 — Timing of Access Requirements
The type and extent of access to be dedicated, and/or constructed and maintained, as well as the
method by which its continuing availability for public use is to be guaranteed, shall be established
at the time of coastal development permit approval or other authorization, as provided by this
section.
A. Guarantee Precedes Permit Issuance. The guarantee of public access in the form
required in compliance with Chapter 21.52 (Coastal Development Review Procedures)
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30A-11
5-222
shall occur before issuance of construction permits or the start of construction activity not
requiring a permit.
B. Construction of Improvements. Construction of improvements shall occur at the same
time as construction of the approved development, unless another time is established
through conditions of coastal development permit approval or other authorization.
C. Interference with Public Use Prohibited. Following an offer to dedicate public access
pursuant to this section; the property owner shall not interfere with use by the public of the
areas subject to the offer before and after acceptance by the responsible entity.
21.30A.090 — Management and Maintenance
A. Controls. Based on substantial evidence and documentation, submitted in conjunction
with a coastal development permit application, the City may impose controls on the time,
place, and manner of public access when justified by site characteristics, including
topographic and geologic conditions, the intensity of use and the capacity of the site to
sustain the use, the fragility of natural resource areas, the need to protect the privacy or
security of residential development, public safety services access, and the provision of
support facilities. Such controls shall only be imposed with a clause requiring periodic
re-evaluation for its continued need.
B. Management and Maintenance Plan. A management and maintenance plan that
maximizes public access may be required in conjunction with a dedication of public
access in any case where there is substantial evidence of potential conflicts between
public access use and other uses on or immediately adjacent to the site. The plan shall be
a condition of approval of the coastal development permit and shall at minimum address:
Regular inspections;
2. Vegetation maintenance to ensure accessway remains safe and unobstructed;
3. Regular trash/litter pickup; and
4. Signage.

21.306.030 — Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas
A. ESHA Designation. Any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare
or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which
could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments shall be
designated as an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA).
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30B-1
5-224
Exceptions. ESHAs do not include the following areas:
a. Existing developed areas; and
b. Existing fuel modification areas required by the City of Newport Beach Fire
Department or the Orange County Fire Authority for existing, legal
structures.
B. Protection Required. ESHAs shall be protected against any significant disruption of
habitat values, and only uses dependent on those resources shall be allowed (see Section
21.30B.030 (F) (Limits on Land Uses)). Development in areas adjacent to ESHAs shall be
sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas, and
shall be compatible with the continuance of the ESHA.
C. ESHA Report. If the initial site resources survey indicates the presence or potential for
sensitive habitat vegetation or wildlife species on the site, a report shall be required with
recommendations as to whether a habitat area constitutes an ESHA.
Evaluation. Using a recently prepared (within one year) site-specific survey and
analysis, the ESHA report shall evaluate the following attributes when
recommending whether a habitat area constitutes an ESHA:
a. The presence of natural communities that have been identified as rare by
the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
b. The recorded or potential presence of plant or animal species designated
as rare, threatened, or endangered under State or Federal law.
C. The presence or potential presence of plant or animal species that are not
listed under State or Federal law, but for which there is other compelling
evidence of rarity, such as designation as a 1B or 2 species by the
California Native Plant Society.
d. The presence of coastal streams.
e. The degree of habitat integrity and connectivity to other natural areas.
Attributes to be evaluated when determining a habitat's
integrity/connectivity include the habitat's patch size and connectivity,
dominance by invasive/non-native species, the level of disturbance, the
proximity to development, and the level of fragmentation and isolation.
2. Recommendation. If an area is recommended as an ESHA, the boundaries of the
ESHA and the appropriate buffers shall be made to the review authority.
D. ESHA Buffers. A protective open space buffer shall be required to horizontally separate
ESHA from development areas and provide distance and physical barriers to human and
domestic pet intrusion.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30B-2
5-225
Size. ESHA buffers shall be of a sufficient size to ensure the biological integrity
and preservation of the habitat they are designed to protect. Terrestrial ESHA
shall have a minimum buffer width of fifty (50) feet wherever possible.
a. Exceptions: Smaller ESHA buffers may be allowed only where it can be
demonstrated that:
(1) A fifty (50) foot wide buffer is not possible due to site-specific
constraints; and
(2) The proposed narrower buffer would be amply protective of the
biological integrity of the ESHA given the site-specific
characteristics of the resource and of the type and intensity of
disturbance.
2. Vegetation.
a. ESHA buffers shall be maintained exclusively with native vegetation to
serve as transitional habitat.
b. Fuel modification zones shall be maintained outside of ESHA buffers.
C. Invasive plant species shall be prohibited.
E. Design and Siting. Development outside, but within one hundred (100) feet of an ESHA
shall incorporate the following design and site characteristics:
Development adjacent to an ESHA shall be designed and sited to protect ESHA
resources against any significant disruption of habitat values.
2. Development adjacent to an ESHA shall be compatible with the continuance of
ESHA habitat areas.
3. Development adjacent to an ESHA shall be limited to low impact land uses, such
as open space and passive recreation whenever feasible.
4. Development shall not necessitate fuel modification in an ESHA or ESHA buffer.
5. Development lighting adjacent to an ESHA shall minimize impacts to wildlife.
a. All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be designed, shielded, aimed, located,
and maintained to direct lighting away from environmentally sensitive
habitat areas (ESHA) and ESHA buffers and to minimize glare, sky glow,
and light trespass.
b. Buildings shall be designed to minimize light trespass from interior lighting.
C. All lighting shall utilize the best available "dark sky" practices, including the
use of lights with the lowest intensity possible for safety purposes and that
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.306-3
5-226
utilize wavelengths that are the most environmentally protective of
organisms active at night and dawn and dusk.
6. Unauthorized structures that impact, or encroach into, ESHA or ESHA buffer shall
be removed.
F. Limits On Land Uses. ESHA shall be protected against any significant disruption of
habitat values. Uses within ESHA shall be limited to only those uses that are dependent
on those resources. Limited public access improvements (e.g., hiking and educational
trails and low -impact camping), minor educational, interpretative and research activities
and development, and habitat restoration projects may be considered resource
dependent uses. Measures, including, but not limited to, trail creation, signage,
placement of boardwalks, and fencing, shall be implemented as necessary to protect
ESHA.
G. Required Findings. No development shall be allowed in an ESHA or ESHA buffer area
unless the following findings are made:
The resource as identified will not be significantly degraded or disrupted by the
proposed development and the development will be compatible with the
continuance of the resource.
2. There is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative.
3. All feasible mitigation measures capable of reducing or eliminating project related
impacts have been adopted.
21.306.040 — Wetlands, Deepwater Areas, and Other Water Areas
A. Protection Required.
The biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands,
estuaries, and lakes shall be protected, maintained and, where feasible, restored.
2. All uses of the marine environment shall be carried out in a manner that will sustain
the biological productivity of coastal waters and that will maintain healthy
populations of all species of marine organisms adequate for long-term
commercial, recreational, scientific, and educational purposes.
3. Marine resources shall be maintained, enhanced, and, where feasible, restored.
4. Special protection shall be provided to marine resource areas and species of
special biological or economic significance.
B. Wetland Delineation. When the initial site resources survey indicates the presence or
potential for wetland species or indicators, coastal development permit applications shall
include a recently prepared (within one year) site survey and wetlands delineation
analysis.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.306-4
5-227
Methodology. Wetland delineations shall be conducted in accordance with the
definitions of wetland boundaries contained in Section 13577(b) of the California
Code of Regulations.
2. Other Factors. Although vegetation is often the most readily observed
parameter, sole reliance on vegetation or either of the other parameters as the
determinant of wetlands can sometimes be misleading. Many plant species can
grow successfully in both wetlands and non -wetlands, and hydrophytic vegetation
and hydric soils may persist for decades following alteration of hydrology that will
render an area a non -wetland. Where ambiguities in wetland delineation exist due
to the demonstrated presence of both upland and wetland characteristics, factors
other than the standard field indicators of wetland hydrology, wetland vegetation
and wetland soils may be analyzed as part of the delineation. Such factors may
include topography, soil permeability, drainage patterns, adjacency to identified
wetlands, and comparisons of hydrology at the ambiguous site and at nearby
upland and wetland reference sites following significant rainfall events. The
simple lack of field indicators of hydrology during a routine delineation is not strong
evidence of upland characteristics (Coastal Commission findings for approval of
the Coastal Land Use Plan, October 13, 2005).
3. Recommendation. The recommended wetland delineation and the appropriate
buffers shall be made to the review authority.
C. Wetland Buffers. A protective open space buffer shall be required to horizontally
separate wetlands from development areas. Wetland buffers shall be of a sufficient size
to ensure the biological integrity and preservation of the wetland. Wetlands shall have a
minimum buffer width of one hundred (100) feet wherever possible.
Exception: Smaller wetland buffers may be allowed only where it can be
demonstrated that:
a. A one hundred (100) foot wide buffer is not possible due to site-specific
constraints; and
b. The proposed narrower buffer would be amply protective of the biological
integrity of the wetland given the site-specific characteristics of the
resource and of the type and intensity of disturbance.
D. Channel izations. Chan nelizations, dams, or other substantial alterations of rivers and
streams shall incorporate the best mitigation measures feasible, and be limited to:
1. Necessary water supply projects.
2. Flood control projects where no other method for protecting existing structures in
the floodplain is feasible and where such protection is necessary for public safety
or to protect existing development
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30B-5
5-228
3. Developments where the primary function is the improvement of fish and wildlife
habitat.
F. Removal of Unauthorized Structures. All unauthorized structures that impact, or
encroach into, wetlands, deepwater areas, or other water areas shall be removed.
E. Diking, Filling, and Dredging Projects.
Limits on Development. Development involving the diking, filling, or dredging of
open coastal waters, wetlands, or estuaries shall only be permitted consistent with
Section 30233 of the Coastal Act and under the following circumstances:
a. Only if there is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative.
b. If there is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative, mitigation
measures shall be provided to minimize adverse environmental effects.
C. Diking, filling or dredging projects shall sustain the functional capacity of
the wetland, or estuary. In order to establish that the functional capacity is
being maintained, the applicant must demonstrate all of the following:
(1) That the project does not alter presently occurring plant and animal
populations in the ecosystem in a manner that would impair the
long-term stability of the ecosystem; i.e., natural species diversity,
abundance, and composition are essentially unchanged as a result
of the project.
(2) That the project does not harm or destroy a species or habitat that
is rare or endangered.
(3) That the project does not harm a species or habitat that is essential
to the natural biological functioning of the wetland or estuary.
(4) That the project does not significantly reduce consumptive (e.g.,
fishing, aquaculture and hunting) or non -consumptive (e.g., water
quality and research opportunity) values of the wetland or estuarine
ecosystem.
2. Limits On Uses. Development involving diking, filling, or dredging of open
coastal waters, wetlands, and estuaries shall be limited to the following:
a. Construction or expansion of port/marine facilities.
b. Construction or expansion of coastal -dependent industrial facilities,
including commercial fishing facilities, and commercial ferry facilities.
C. In open coastal waters, other than wetlands, including estuaries and
streams, new or expanded boating facilities, including slips, access ramps,
piers, marinas, recreational boating, launching ramps, and pleasure ferries,

5-230
B. Applicability. The requirements of this section shall apply to coastal development
permit applications in areas with southern coastal foredune and southern dune scrub
habitats.
C. Earthmoving. Earthmoving of beach sand in dune habitat areas shall be limited to dune
restoration projects necessary for the protection of coastal resources and existing
development. D. Public Access and Recreation. Public beach access
improvements shall be designed, sited, and maintained in a manner to avoid impacts to
dune habitats through the use of well-defined footpaths, boardwalks, protective fencing,
signage, and similar methods. Recreation improvements shall be designed and sited to
avoid dune habitat areas.
E. Restoration of Native Vegetation. Plant materials in southern coastal foredune and
southern dune scrub habitat areas shall be restricted to native plant species appropriate to
the habitat type. The City shall develop a program for the removal of exotic vegetation
and restoration of native vegetation on public beaches.
21.3013.060 — Mitigation and Monitoring
A. When Required. Mitigation and monitoring programs, including restoration plans and
management programs, shall be submitted with the coastal development permit
application.
ESHA. Mitigation shall be required for allowable impacts to ESHA and other
sensitive resources that cannot be avoided through the implementation of siting
and design alternatives. Mitigation shall not substitute for implementation of the
project alternative that would avoid impacts to ESHA.
2. Wetlands. Feasible mitigation measures shall be required to minimize adverse
environmental effects of diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters,
wetlands, estuaries, and lakes where the proposed use is consistent with Section
30233 of the Coastal Act and there is no feasible less environmentally damaging
alternative.
B. Mitigation Programs. Mitigation programs shall include the following components:
Specific mitigation objectives and performance standards designed to measure
the success of the restoration and/or enhancement.
2. Provisions for acquiring title or other property interest to the mitigation site.
3. Provisions for the dedication of the restored or created habitat or wetland and
associated buffer areas to a public agency or non-profit entity acceptable to the
reviewing authority, or permanent restriction of their use to open space purposes.
4. A monitoring and management program with mitigation objectives and
performance standards.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.306-8
5-231
C. Habitat Creation/Restoration.
ESHA. Mitigation for impacts to ESHA and other sensitive resources shall be in
the form of habitat creation or substantial restoration. The mitigation shall occur
on-site wherever possible. Off-site mitigation measures shall only be approved
when it is not feasible to fully mitigate impacts on-site.
2. Wetlands. Mitigation shall occur in the same watershed and in the form of in-kind
wetland restoration or creation whenever possible. Where out -of -kind mitigation
is necessary, restoration or creation of wetlands shall be of equal or greater
biological productivity to the wetland that was filled or dredged. Mitigation may
also be permitted in the form of restoration that includes opening equivalent areas
to tidal action or providing other sources of surface water.
D. Mitigation Ratios. Table 21.3013-1 provides required mitigation ratios of acreage
restored/created to acreage impacted.
Table 21.3013-1

Per Table 21.308-1, adverse impacts shall be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1 for impacts to
seasonal wetlands, freshwater marsh and riparian areas, and at a ratio of 4:1 for impacts
to vernal pools and saltmarsh unless the applicant provides evidence establishing, and
the approving authority finds, that restoration or creation of a lesser area of wetlands will
fully mitigate the adverse impacts of the project. However, in no event shall the mitigation
ratio be less than 2:1 unless, prior to the development impacts, the mitigation is completed
and is empirically demonstrated to meet performance criteria that establish that the
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.306-9
5-232
created or restored wetlands are functionally equivalent or superior to the impacted
wetlands.
E. Timing. Any off-site mitigation site shall be purchased and legally restricted and/or
dedicated before impacts to the development site can proceed. Restoration plans shall
to be reviewed and approved by a qualified professional pursuant to Section 21.50.070
(Environmental Review) prior to accepting sites for mitigation. Restoration and
management plans shall be submitted with the Coastal Development Permit application.
At a minimum, a Coastal Development Permit will be conditioned to assure that the
restoration/mitigation will occur simultaneously with construction of the approved
development.
F. In -lieu Fee for Wetland Impacts. An in -lieu fee may be paid to an appropriate public
agency to mitigate wetland impacts, if no appropriate mitigation site can be acquired.
Payment of an in -lieu fee would only be an option if an applicant is unable to find a
potential restoration site. The fee shall be based on the following factors:
The habitat type.
2. The costs of acquisition, including litigation.
3. The cost per acre to restore or create a comparable wetland within the region
where the impact occurred.
4. The acreage of the habitat affected, based on the final approved project.
G. Upper Newport Bay Marine Park. The following mitigation measures are required for
dredging projects in the Upper Newport Bay Marine Park:
Dredging and spoils disposal must be planned and carried out to limit turbidity and
to avoid significant disruption to marine and wildlife habitats and water circulation.
2. Maintenance dredging shall be encouraged where the dredging provides habitat
protection or enhances commercial or recreational use of the Bay. When dredged
material is of an appropriate grain size and grain percentage, this material may be
used to restore or replace natural sandy sloping beaches in order to retain the
current profiles of Newport Bay. Maintenance dredging activity shall have the
approval of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and shall meet applicable U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency standards.
3. Dredged material not suitable for beach nourishment or other permitted beneficial
reuse shall be disposed of offshore at a designated U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency disposal site or at an appropriate upland location.
4. Temporary dewatering of dredged spoils may be authorized within the Bay's
drainage if adequate erosion controls are provided and the spoils are removed. A
bond or a contractual arrangement shall be a precondition to dredging of the
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.3013-10
5-233
material, and final disposal of the dewatered material on the approved dump site
shall be accomplished within the time period specified in the permit.
5. Dredged spoils shall not be used to fill riparian areas, wetlands, or natural canyons
or any native vegetation community.
6. Other mitigation measures may include opening areas to tidal action, removing
dikes, improving tidal flushing, restoring salt marsh or eelgrass vegetation, or other
restoration measures.
7. Dredge spoils suitable for beach nourishment should be transported for such
purposes to appropriate beaches or into suitable long shore current systems
provided that the placement is permitted by a Section 404 permit and by any other
agencies with jurisdiction over the project.
H. Monitoring. Monitoring of mitigation measures shall be for a period of sufficient time to
determine if mitigation objectives and performance standards are being met. Mid -course
corrections shall be implemented if necessary to meet the objectives or performance
standards.
Period. Monitoring shall be conducted a period of not less than 5 years following
completion, unless the Director determines that a longer mitigation monitoring
schedule is appropriate. If performance standards are not met by the specified
monitoring period, the monitoring period shall be extended until the standards are
met or the applicant shall submit an amendment application proposing alternative
mitigation measures and implement the approved changes.
2. Reports. Monitoring reports that document the success or failure of the
mitigation shall be provided to the Department annually and at the conclusion of
the monitoring period.
3. Completion. The restoration shall be considered successful after the success
criteria have been met for a period of at least 3 years with no remediation or
maintenance activities other than weeding.
Review and Approval. Mitigation programs, restoration plans, and monitoring programs
shall to be reviewed and approved by a qualified professional pursuant to Section
21.50.070 (Environmental Review).
J. Easements and Dedications. Where onsite or offsite preservation of an ESHA,
wetland, stream, or mitigation area and buffers to each is required as a condition of
approval of a coastal development permit or other authorization, a guarantee of protection
through direct dedication, offer to dedicate, or conservation easement shall be required.
The protection guarantee shall identify the precise location and area to be set aside for
preservation along with evidence of the legal ability over that area to restrict that area
and/or convey a property interest in that area.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.3013-11
5-234
Timing. Prior to the approval of a coastal development permit, the method and
form of the protection guarantee shall be approved by City Attorney. The
protection guarantee shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder prior to
the issuance of any development permits.
2. Management and Funding. A management plan and funding plan shall be
required to ensure appropriate management of the habitat area in perpetuity.
3. Method of Protection Guarantee. A method of access guarantee shall be
chosen according to the following criteria:
a. Deed Restriction. A deed restriction shall be used only where an owner,
association or corporation agrees to assume responsibility for maintenance
of and liability for the habitat area, subject to approval by the reviewing
authority.
b. Grant of Fee Interest or Easement. A grant of fee interest or easement
shall be used when a public agency or private organization approved by the
reviewing authority is willing to assume ownership, maintenance and
liability for the habitat.
C. Offer of Dedication. An offer of dedication shall be used when no public
agency, private organization or individual is willing to accept fee interest or
easement for habitat maintenance and liability. These offers shall not be
accepted until maintenance responsibility and liability is established.
4. Inventory. The City shall maintain an inventory of open space deed restrictions,
dedications of lands or easements and offers to dedicate to ensure such areas are
known to the public and are protected through the coastal development permit
process.

This Chapter applies to development on and within Newport Harbor waters and all tidelands and
submerged lands. Where these tidelands and submerged lands remain within the Coastal
Commission's area of retained coastal development permit jurisdiction (per Section 30519(b) of
the Coastal Act), the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act remain the standard of review and
these regulations will serve as guidance.
21.30C.030 — General Provisions
A. Establishment of Channels and Harbor Lines. All channels, turning basins,
anchorage areas, and Project, Pierhead, and Bulkhead Lines in Newport Harbor shall be
as established by the Federal Government or by the City Council upon recommendation of

With the prior approval of the City, piers and slips for commercial properties
may extend past the prolongation of the property line.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30C-2
5-237
C. The prolongation of the property line bayward of the same bearing from the
bulkhead shall generally be used in determining the allowable setbacks for
piers and slips. Because there are certain physical conditions which
preclude the strict application of this policy without prejudice to adjoining
properties, special consideration will be given to areas where precise
prolongation of the property line has not been determined and the following
conditions exist:
(1) Where property lines are not approximately perpendicular to the
bulkhead line;
(2) Where curves or angles exist in the bulkhead line;
(3) Where bridges, topography, street ends or publicly owned facilities
adjoin the property.
d. Setbacks apply to joint ownership piers with the exception that the slips,
floats and piers may extend over the common property line.
4. Joint Ownership. Permits may be granted for joint ownership piers at the
prolongation of common lot lines. The permit for joint ownership piers shall provide
that all parties shall have equal rights under the permit and shall be held jointly
responsible for compliance with all rules, regulations, and conditions set forth in
the permit.
5. Patio Decks. Patios are not permitted to extend over the waters of Newport
Harbor unless the waters are adjacent to the upland property and outside the
areas described in the tidelands trust, and provided the patio complies with the
following conditions:
a. The maximum projection of patio decks encroachments beyond the
bulkhead line shall be limited to five feet.
b. The minimum setbacks from the prolongations of the side property lines
shall be five feet.
C. No float shall be permitted within one foot of the decks.
d. No permanent structure shall be permitted on the projecting portion of the
patios except:
(1) Planters and benches not over sixteen (16) inches in height;
(2) Railings not over forty-two (42) inches in height with approximately
ninety-five (95) percent open area.
e. A harbor and building permit has been obtained.
6. Storage Lockers. Storage lockers and boat boxes may be installed on
shore -connected piers and floats subject to the following limitations:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.30C-3
5-238
a. The overall height shall not exceed thirty (30) inches when located bayward
of residential property zones.
The overall height shall not exceed thirty (30) inches when located bayward
of commercial and industrial property zones where the piers and floats are
used primarily for the mooring of pleasure boats.
C. The overall height shall not exceed sixty (60) inches when located on
facilities bayward of commercial and industrial zoned property where the
use is not primarily for the mooring of pleasure boats.
d. The overall height shall be measured from the deck of the pier or float to the
top of the storage locker and overall height to include the enclosed portion
of the locker or box.
H. Other Structures.
Race Committee Platforms. Race committee platforms and instruction platforms
may be constructed bayward of the bulkhead line at recognized yacht clubs and
recognized sailing schools. All work shall require issuance of a Harbor
Development Permit.
2. Floating Dry Docks. Permits for non-residential floating dry docks may be
approved by the Harbor Resources Division, subject to the following conditions:
a. The location is in waters bayward of commercial, manufacturing or
unclassified zones;
The prior approval of a Harbor Use Permit by the Harbor Commission;
C. Permits for floating dry docks are issued for one location only. A new permit
must be obtained to move a floating dry dock from one location to another
location within the harbor.
Bulkheads.
All bulkheads shall be installed within established bulkhead lines or at a location
behind the bulkhead line that would preserve the design profile of the harbor. Any
retaining or ornamental wall installed landward of the bulkhead line shall be
considered a bulkhead if it also serves to contain the waters of the harbor and shall
be processed in the same manner as if it were on the bulkhead line. The
establishment of bulkhead lines does not necessarily allow the property owner to
build to the limits of the bulkhead line, due to the potential environmental
considerations established by the State of California and/or the Federal
Government.
The Harbor Resources Division may approve bulkheads located between U.S.
Bulkhead Station Nos. 112 and 109, not to exceed the bayward side of the
"Vacated East Bay Avenue." U.S. Bulkhead Station No. 104 for the addresses at
2209, 2223, 2227, 2231 and 2233 Bayside Drive: staff recommendation for a

21.35.010 — Overview of Water Quality Protection Plans
Development that requires a coastal development permit and has the potential for adverse water
quality or hydrologic (i.e., due to changes in runoff flows) impacts to coastal waters shall in most
cases require both a construction -phase plan and a post -development plan for water quality
protection. The water quality protection plans are summarized as follows:
A. Construction -Phase Plan.
Construction Pollution Prevention Plan. A Construction Pollution Prevention
Plan (CPPP; see Section 21.35.030, below) shall be required for development that
requires a coastal development permit and entails construction that has the
potential for adverse water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. For the
purposes of this section, construction includes clearing, grading, or other activities
that involve ground disturbance; building, reconstructing, or demolishing a
structure; and creation or replacement of impervious surfaces. The CPPP shall
describe the temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) the development will
implement to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction, and to
minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters by construction chemicals and
materials.
B. Post -Development Plans. Development may require one of two post -development water
quality protection plans:
Post -Development Runoff Plan. A Post -Development Runoff Plan (PDRP; see
Section 21.35.040, below) shall be required for development that requires a
coastal development permit and has the potential for adverse post -development
water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. If the development entails
activities or changes in land use other than construction (as defined in Subsection
21.35.010 (A) (1), above), including subdivision or re -division of land, the scope of
the plan may be reduced accordingly. The PDRP shall describe the runoff
management Site Design strategies, pollutant Source Control BMPs, and other
measures the development will implement to protect coastal waters after the
development is completed.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-1
5-245
2. Water Quality and Hydrology Plan. A Water Quality and Hydrology Plan
(WQHP; see Section 21.35.050, below) shall be required for development that
requires a coastal development permit, has the potential for adverse water quality
or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters, and is a Development of Water Quality
Concern (see Subsection 21.35.050 (A), below). Developments of Water Quality
Concern are specified categories of development that have a greater potential for
adverse water quality and hydrologic impacts due to the development's size, type
of land use, and/or proximity to coastal waters.
The WQHP shall be prepared by a qualified licensed professional, and shall
include a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for
BMPs, use of a Low Impact Development (LID) approach to retain the design
storm runoff volume on-site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of
proposed BMPs. Additional plan components that may be required include an
alternatives analysis, and a description of the Treatment Control and/or Runoff
Control BMPs the development will implement to minimize potential
post -development water quality and hydrologic impacts.
21.35.020 — Information about Existing Project Site Conditions
In addition to the required content for each water quality protection plan specified in Sections
21.35.030 — 21.35.050, below, the following information about the existing project site conditions
shall be submitted, if applicable to the project, to enable evaluation of the project's potential water
quality and hydrologic impacts:
A. Location Map. A location map, drawn to scale, showing the location of the development,
and the distance from the development to the nearest coastal waters and other natural
hydrologic features.
B. Description of Existing Project Site Conditions. A site plan that illustrates and
describes the following existing project site conditions:
Topography and Drainage. General site topography and drainage, including
natural hydrologic features that may provide stormwater infiltration, treatment,
storage, or conveyance (such as groundwater recharge areas, stream corridors,
floodplains, and wetlands), and any existing structural stormwater conveyances or
BMPs.
2. Nearby Coastal Waters and ESHA. Location of coastal waters and
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA) within two hundred (200) feet of
the project site, indicating whether site runoff drains to these areas.
3. Discharges to Impaired Waters or ASBS. Whether runoff discharges to
receiving waters listed for water quality impairment on the most recent Clean
Water Act Section 303(d) list, or to an Area of Special Biological Significance
(ASBS).
4. Structures and Pavement. Existing structures, impervious surface areas,
permeable pavements, utilities, and vegetated areas. An accompanying table shall
quantify the extent of such areas.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-2
5-246
5. Potential Contamination. Any previous land use on the site with a potential for a
historic source of contamination, and any known soil or water contamination.
21.35.030 — Construction Pollution Prevention Plan
The Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) shall describe the temporary BMPs the
development will implement to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction, and to
minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters by construction chemicals and materials. The level
of detail provided to address the plan's requirements shall be commensurate with the type and
scale of the development, and the potential for adverse water quality and hydrologic impacts to
coastal waters.
A. Applicability of Construction Pollution Prevention Plan. A CPPP shall be required for
development that requires a coastal development permit and entails construction that has
the potential for adverse water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. For the
purposes of this section, construction includes clearing, grading, or other activities that
involve ground disturbance; building, reconstructing, or demolishing a structure; and
creation or replacement of impervious surfaces.
To comply with the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) stormwater
permit requirements, an applicant proposing certain size or types of development,
including industrial facilities, may be required to develop and implement a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that addresses construction activities. Applicants
submitting a SWPPP to meet SWRCB requirements shall also submit a CPPP to meet the
City's LCP requirements for review of a coastal development permit application.
Applicable information provided in the SWPPP may also be included as part of the CPPP.
B. Submittal of Construction Pollution Prevention Plan. An applicant shall submit a
preliminary CPPP (based on site conditions and project features known at the time of
application) with the coastal development permit application, and shall submit a final
CPPP for approval prior to construction. The information provided to address the plan's
requirements may be submitted as a stand-alone document, or incorporated into the other
permit application materials. Any changes to the final CPPP after issuance of the coastal
development permit shall be subject to additional authorization by the Director.
C. Requirements of Construction Pollution Prevention Plan. The CPPP shall
demonstrate that the development complies with the following requirements:
Minimize Erosion, Pollutant Discharge, and Non-Stormwater Runoff. During
construction, development shall minimize erosion, the discharge of sediment and
other pollutants, and non-stormwater runoff resulting from construction activities,
through the use of temporary BMPs.
Development shall implement the following types of construction -phase BMPs, as
applicable to the project:
a. Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs. BMPs to minimize soil erosion
and the discharge of sediment off-site or to coastal waters, including:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-3
5-247
(1) Erosion control BMPs to prevent soil from being eroded by water or
wind (such as mulch, soil binders, blankets or mats, or temporary
seeding).
(2) Sediment control BMPs to trap and remove eroded sediment (such
as fiber rolls, silt fences, straw bales, and sediment basins).
(3) Tracking control BMPs to prevent vehicles leaving the construction
area from tracking sediment off-site (such as a stabilized
construction exit, and street sweeping).
Pollutant Control BMPs. BMPs to minimize the discharge of other
pollutants resulting from construction activities (such as chemicals, vehicle
fluids, petroleum products, asphalt and cement compounds, trash, and
debris) off-site or to coastal waters, including:
(1) Materials management and waste management BMPs to minimize
the discharge of pollutants from staging, storage, and disposal of
construction chemicals and materials (such as stockpile
management practices, and a debris disposal plan).
(2) Site management "good housekeeping" BMPs to minimize the
discharge of pollutants from construction activities (such as
maintaining an inventory of chemicals used on site, and having a
written plan for the clean-up of spills and leaks).
C. Non-Stormwater Runoff Control BMPs. BMPs to retain, infiltrate, or treat
non-stormwater runoff resulting from construction activities (such as a
concrete washout facility, dewatering tank, or dedicated vehicle wash
area), to minimize the discharge of polluted runoff.
2. Stabilize Soil as Soon as Feasible. Soil stabilization BMPs (such as mulching,
soil binders, erosion control blankets, or temporary seeding) shall be implemented
on graded or disturbed areas as soon as feasible during construction, where there
is a potential for soil erosion to lead to discharge of sediment off-site or to coastal
waters.
3. Minimize Land Disturbance and Soil Compaction. Development shall minimize
land disturbance during construction (e.g., clearing, grading, and cut -and -fill) and
shall phase grading activities, to avoid increased erosion and sedimentation.
Development shall minimize soil compaction due to construction activities, to
retain the natural stormwater infiltration capacity of the soil.
4. Minimize Damage or Removal of Vegetation. Development shall minimize the
damage or removal of non-invasive vegetation (including trees, native vegetation,
and root structures) during construction, to achieve water quality benefits such as
transpiration, vegetative interception, pollutant uptake, shading of waterways, and
erosion control.
5. Use Designated Fueling and Maintenance Areas. Conduct fueling and
maintenance of construction equipment and vehicles off-site, if feasible. Any
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-4
5-248
fueling and maintenance of mobile equipment conducted on-site shall take place
at a designated area located at least fifty (50) feet from coastal waters, drainage
courses, and storm drain inlets, if feasible (unless these inlets are blocked to
protect against fuel spills). The fueling and maintenance area shall be designed to
fully contain any spills of fuel, oil, or other contaminants. Equipment that cannot be
feasibly relocated to a designated fueling and maintenance area (such as cranes)
may be fueled and maintained in other areas of the site, provided that procedures
are implemented to fully contain any potential spills.
6. Avoid Plastic Netting in Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control Products.
Development shall avoid the use of temporary erosion and sediment control
products (such as fiber rolls, erosion control blankets, mulch control netting, and
silt fences) that incorporate plastic netting (such as polypropylene, nylon,
polyethylene, polyester, or other synthetic fibers), in order to minimize wildlife
entanglement and plastic debris pollution.
7. Use Additional BMPs for Construction Over, In, or Adjacent to Coastal
Waters. Development shall implement additional BMPs for construction taking
place over, in, or adjacent to coastal waters (including wetlands), if there is a
potential for construction chemicals or materials to enter coastal waters. BMPs
shall include, where applicable:
a. Tarps to Capture Debris and Spills. Use tarps or other devices to
capture debris, dust, oil, grease, rust, dirt, fine particles, and spills to
protect the quality of coastal waters.
BMPS for Use of Preservative -Treated Wood in Aquatic
Environments. If preservative -treated wood is used, implement
appropriate BMPs that meet industry standards for selection, storage, and
construction practices for use of preservative -treated wood in aquatic
environments. At a minimum, implement the standards identified by the
Western Wood Preservers Institute, et al. in: Treated Wood in Aquatic
Environments: A Specification and Environmental Guide to Selecting,
Installing and Managing Wood Preservation Systems in Aquatic and
Wetland Environments (2012, or current revision thereof).
C. Non -Petroleum Hydraulic Fluids. Use non -petroleum hydraulic fluids in
principal heavy equipment operated for one week or longer over, in, or
adjacent to coastal waters (including wetlands and intertidal areas), if leaks
or spills of hydraulic fluid from this equipment cannot be contained and
could potentially enter coastal waters.
8. Avoid Grading During Rainy Season. Development shall avoid grading during
the rainy season (from October 15th through May 15th), unless the Director
determines one of the following:
a. Extension. If the Director grants an extension for a specific length of time,
based on an inspection of the site, and a determination that conditions at
the project site are suitable for continued work with appropriate erosion and
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-5
5-249
sedimentation control measures that will be maintained during the activity;
or
Emergency. If the Director allows grading under emergency conditions,
and BMPs to protect coastal resources are implemented where feasible.
9. Manage Construction -Phase BMPs. Appropriate protocols shall be implemented
to manage construction -phase BMPs (including installation, ongoing operation,
inspection, maintenance, and training), to protect coastal water quality.
10. Use Appropriate BMP Guidance Manual. The selection of BMPs for the
Construction Pollution Prevention Plan shall be guided by the current edition of the
California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Construction BMP Handbook,
or by the current edition of a BMP manual that has been designed to address local
or regional runoff conditions and has been approved by the South Coast Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
D. Content of Construction Pollution Prevention Plan. To comply with the CPPP
requirements listed in Subsection 21.35.030 (C), above, the CPPP shall include a
construction site map and a narrative description addressing, at a minimum, the following
required components, if they are applicable to the development:
Construction Site Plan Map. A
construction phasing boundaries,
construction -phase BMPs (such as
basins).
map delineating the construction site,
and the location of all temporary
silt fences, inlet protection, and sediment
2. Description of BMPs to be Implemented to Meet All CPPP Requirements. A
description of the BMPs that will be implemented to meet all the CPPP
requirements listed in Subsection 21.35.030 (C), above, and how these BMPs will
minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters during construction. Include
calculations that demonstrate proper sizing of the BMPs.
3. Construction Phasing Schedule. A construction phasing schedule, if applicable
to the project, with a description and timeline of significant land disturbance
activities.

operation, and maintenance of construction -phase BMPs, including temporary
erosion and sedimentation control BMPs, as needed to ensure that the coastal
development permit's water quality requirements are met.
21.35.040 — Post -Development Runoff Plan
The Post -Development Runoff Plan (PDRP) shall describe the runoff management Site Design
strategies, pollutant Source Control BMPs, and other measures the development will implement
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-6
5-250
to minimize stormwater pollution and changes in runoff flows from the site after development is
completed, in order to protect and, where feasible, restore the quality of coastal waters. The level
of detail provided to address the plan's requirements shall be commensurate with the type and
scale of the project, and the potential for adverse water quality and hydrologic impacts to coastal
waters.
A. Applicability of Post -Development Runoff Plan. A PDRP shall be required if the
development requires a coastal development permit and has the potential for adverse
post -development water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. If the
development entails activities of changes in land use other than construction as defined in
Subsection 21.35.010 (A) (1), above (e.g., allowing motorized vehicle use of a trail
previously restricted to pedestrians), including subdivision or re -division of land, the scope
of the plan may be reduced accordingly.
B. Submittal of Post -Development Runoff Plan. An applicant shall submit a preliminary
PDRP (based on site conditions and project features known at the time of application) with
the coastal development permit application, and shall submit a final PDRP prior to
issuance of the coastal development permit. Any changes to the final PDRP after
issuance of the coastal development permit shall be subject to additional authorization by
the Director.
C. Requirements of Post -Development Runoff Plan. The PDRP shall demonstrate that
the development complies with the following requirements:
Address Runoff Management Early in Site Design Planning. All development
shall address runoff management early in site design planning and alternatives
analysis, and shall implement appropriate and feasible Site Design strategies for
runoff management.
Site Design strategies for runoff management are project design and site layout
techniques that integrate existing site characteristics that affect runoff (such as
topography, drainage patterns, vegetation, soil conditions, natural hydrologic
features, and infiltration conditions) into the design of strategies to minimize
post -development changes in the runoff flow regime, control pollutant sources,
and where necessary remove pollutants.
2. Give Precedence to Low Impact Development Approach to Stormwater
Management. All development shall give precedence to the use of a Low Impact
Development (LID) approach to stormwater management, to preserve the natural
hydrologic functions of the site and minimize post -development changes in the
site's runoff flow regime.
LID emphasizes preventive Site Design strategies, integrated with small-scale,
distributed BMPs that replicate the site's pre -development hydrologic balance
through infiltration, evapotranspiration, harvesting for later on-site use, detention,
or retention of stormwater close to the source. By reducing runoff, LID also
reduces the transport of pollutants from the site.
In implementing an LID approach, priority shall be given to the use of LID Site
Design strategies (such as reducing impervious surface area) to minimize
post -development changes in the site's stormwater flow regime, supplemented by
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-7
5-251
the use of structural LID BMPs (such as a bioretention system) if needed to
mitigate any unavoidable changes in runoff flows. Use of LID Site Design
strategies can reduce the volume of stormwater runoff generated, and thus reduce
the need for and size of structural LID BMPs required.
LID Site Design strategies and BMPs include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Protect and Restore Natural Hydrologic Features. Plan, site, and
design development to protect and, where feasible, restore natural
hydrologic features that provide stormwater infiltration, treatment, storage,
or conveyance. Examples include:
(1) Preserve natural drainage patterns, drainage swales, groundwater
recharge areas, floodplains, and topographical depressions that
can provide storage of small storm volumes.
(2) Preserve natural stream corridors, rivers, and wetlands, and
establish appropriate buffer areas.
Preserve or Enhance Vegetation. Plan, site, and design development to
preserve or enhance non-invasive vegetation, in order to achieve water
quality benefits such as transpiration, interception of rainfall, pollutant
uptake, shading of waterways to maintain water temperature, and erosion
control. Examples include:
(1) Minimize removal of natural non-invasive vegetation.
(2) Plant additional trees and other non-invasive vegetation,
preferentially native plants.
C. Maintain or Enhance On -Site Infiltration. Plan, site, and design
development to maintain or enhance on-site infiltration of runoff, where
appropriate and feasible, in order to preserve natural hydrologic conditions,
recharge groundwater, attenuate runoff flows, retain dry -weather runoff
on-site, and minimize transport of pollutants. Examples include:
(1) Avoid building impervious surfaces on highly permeable areas.
Cluster buildings and other impervious areas onto the site's least
permeable soils.
(2) Minimize unnecessary soil compaction, which can greatly reduce
the infiltrative capacity of soils. Amend soil if needed to enhance
its infiltration and pollutant removal capacity.
(3) Install an infiltration/evapotranspiration BMP such as a bioretention
system, vegetated swale, or rain garden.
d. Minimize Impervious Surface Area. Plan, site, and design development
to minimize the installation of impervious surfaces (including pavement,
sidewalks, driveways, patios, parking areas, streets, and roof -tops), in
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-8
5-252
order to reduce runoff. Where feasible, increase the area of pervious
surfaces in re -development. Examples include:
(1) Downsize impervious coverage by minimizing the footprint of
buildings and impervious pavement (such as a shorter driveway,
narrower road, or smaller parking lot).
(2) Where pavement is required, install a permeable pavement system
(e.g., interlocking concrete pavers, porous asphalt, permeable
concrete, or reinforced grass or gravel), where appropriate and
feasible. Design permeable pavements so that runoff infiltrates into
a subsurface recharge bed and the underlying soil, if feasible, to
reduce runoff, enhance groundwater recharge, and filter out
pollutants.
e. Disconnect Impervious Surface Areas from Storm Drain System.
Plan, site, and design development to minimize directly -connected
impervious areas, which are areas covered by a building, impermeable
pavement, or other impervious surfaces that drain directly into the storm
drain system without first flowing across permeable areas (such as
vegetative landscaping). Convey runoff from impervious surfaces into
permeable areas in a non-erosive manner. Examples include:
(1) Direct roof -top runoff into permeable landscaped areas.
(2) Direct runoff from impervious pavement into distributed permeable
areas such as turf, recreational areas, medians, parking islands,
and planter boxes.
(3) Design curbs, berms, and similar structures to avoid isolation of
vegetative landscaping and other permeable areas, and allow
runoff to flow from impervious pavement to permeable areas for
infiltration.
(4) Install an infiltration BMP such as a vegetated swale or filter strip to
intercept runoff sheet flow from impervious surfaces.
(5) Install a rainwater harvesting BMP, such as a rain barrel or cistern,
to capture and store roof -top runoff for later use in on-site irrigation.
3. Use Alternative BMPs Where On -Site Infiltration is Not Appropriate. If on-site
infiltration of runoff may potentially result in adverse impacts (including, but not
limited to, geologic instability, flooding, or pollution of coastal waters), the
development shall substitute alternative BMPs that do not involve on-site
infiltration, to minimize changes in the runoff flow regime to the extent appropriate
and feasible. Alternative BMPs shall also be used where infiltration BMPs are not
adequate to treat a specific pollutant of concern attributed to the development, or
where infiltration practices would conflict with regulations protecting groundwater.
Examples of alternatives to infiltration BMPs include:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-9
5-253
a. Install Green Roof or Flow-through Planter. Install a vegetated "green
roof" or flow-through planter box that does not infiltrate runoff into the
ground, and instead uses evapotranspiration to reduce runoff.
Install Rainwater Harvesting System. Install a rainwater harvesting
system (such as a rain barrel or cistern) to capture and store roof -top runoff
for later on-site use of non -potable water that drains to the sanitary sewer
or storm drain system (such as flushing toilets).
C. Direct Runoff to Off-site Infiltration Facility. Direct runoff from the
development to an off-site regional infiltration facility.
d. Direct Runoff to Storm Drain System. If appropriate and feasible BMPs
have been implemented to reduce runoff volume, velocity, and flow rates,
direct runoff to the storm drain system.
4. Use Source Control BMPs. All development shall implement appropriate and
feasible long-term, post -development pollutant Source Control BMPs to minimize
the transport of pollutants in runoff from the development.
Source Control BMPs are structural features or operational practices that control
pollutant sources and keep pollutants segregated from runoff. Examples include
covering outdoor storage areas, using efficient irrigation, proper application and
clean-up of potentially harmful chemicals and fertilizers, and proper disposal of
waste.
5. Address Runoff from Impervious and Semi -Pervious Surfaces. Runoff from
all new and/or replaced impervious and semi -pervious surfaces shall be
addressed in the plan. For sites where the area of new and/or replaced impervious
and semi -pervious surfaces is greater than or equal to 50% of the pre-existing
impervious and semi -pervious surfaces, runoff from the entire developed area,
including the pre-existing surfaces, shall be addressed in the plan.
6. Prevent Adverse Impacts to Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas from
Runoff. In areas in or adjacent to an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area
(ESHA), development shall be planned, sited, and designed to protect the ESHA
from any significant disruption of habitat values resulting from the discharge of
stormwater or dry weather flows.
7. Minimize Discharges of Dry Weather Runoff to Coastal Waters. Development
shall be planned, sited, and designed to minimize discharges of dry weather runoff
to coastal waters, to the maximum extent feasible. Examples include:
a. Use Efficient Irrigation. Use efficient irrigation techniques that minimize
off-site runoff.
Design Vehicle Washing Areas to Minimize Runoff. Design vehicle
washing areas so that wash water is conveyed to an infiltration system,
recycling system, or sanitary sewer system, to minimize off-site runoff.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-10
5-254
8. Minimize Adverse Impacts of Discharges from Stormwater Outfalls.
Development shall be planned, sited, and designed to avoid the adverse impacts
of discharging concentrated flows of stormwater or dry weather runoff through
stormwater outfalls to coastal waters, intertidal areas, beaches, bluffs, or stream
banks.
Development shall comply with the following requirements:
a. Avoid Construction of New Stormwater Outfalls. Avoid construction of
new stormwater outfalls, and direct stormwater to existing facilities with
appropriate treatment and filtration, where feasible.
Minimize Adverse Impacts to Coastal Resources from Unavoidable
Stormwater Outfalls. Where new development or redevelopment of a
stormwater outfall that discharges directly to coastal waters, intertidal
areas, beaches, bluffs, or stream banks cannot be avoided, plan, site,
design, and manage outfalls to minimize adverse impacts to coastal
resources.
To minimize adverse impacts, development shall:
(1) Consolidate existing and new stormwater outfalls, where
appropriate.
(2) Implement design and management features to minimize
discharges of dry weather runoff through stormwater outfalls.
(3) Implement design and management features to minimize adverse
impacts to coastal resources resulting from discharges of
stormwater or dry weather runoff through stormwater outfalls.
9. Prevent Erosion at Stormwater Outlets. Protective measures shall be used to
prevent erosion at stormwater outlets (including outlets of pipes, drains, culverts,
ditches, swales, or channels), if the discharge velocity will be sufficient to
potentially cause erosion from concentrated runoff flows.
The type of measures selected for outlet erosion prevention shall be prioritized in
the following order, depending on the characteristics of the site and the discharge
velocity:
a. Use Vegetative Bioengineered Measures. Vegetative bioengineered
measures for outlet protection (such as plant wattles) shall be given
preference, rather than hardened structures, where site conditions are
favorable for these measures to be feasible and effective. Where plant
wattles are not feasible, other bioengineered measures (such as rock and
plant pole cuttings) shall be considered for outlet erosion prevention.
Use Hardened Structure Consisting of Loose Material. Where a
vegetative bioengineered measure is not feasible or effective, a hardened
structure consisting of loose material (such as a rip -rap apron or rock slope
protection) shall be considered for outlet erosion prevention.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-11
5-255
C. Use Fixed Energy Dissipation Structure. Where none of the above
measures would be feasible or effective, a fixed energy dissipation
structure (such as a concrete apron, grouted rip -rap, or baffles) designed to
handle the range of flows exiting the outlet shall be used for outlet erosion
prevention. It is anticipated that larger outlets will require a fixed energy
dissipation structure.
10. Manage BMPs for Life of Development. Appropriate protocols shall be
implemented to manage post -development BMPs (including ongoing operation,
maintenance, inspection, and training) in all development, to protect coastal water
quality for the life of the development.
11. Use Appropriate BMP Guidance Manual. The selection of BMPs for the
Post -Development Runoff Plan shall be guided by the current edition of the
California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) BMP Handbooks, or by the
current edition of a BMP manual that has been designed to address local or
regional runoff conditions and has been approved by the South Coast Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
D. Content of Post -Development Runoff Plan. To comply with the PDRP requirements
listed in Subsection 21.35.040 (C), above, the PDRP shall include a site plan and a
narrative description addressing, at a minimum, the following required components, if they
are applicable to the development:
PDRP Site Plan. A site plan showing post -development structural BMPs,
stormwater conveyances and discharges, structures, pavements, and utilities, with
contour intervals appropriate to identify post -development topography, finished
grades, and drainage patterns.
2. Identification of Pollutants Potentially Generated. Identification of pollutants
potentially generated by the proposed development that could be transported off
the site by runoff.
3. Estimate of Changes in Impervious and Semi -Pervious Surface Areas. An
estimate of the proposed changes in impervious surface area on the site, including
pre -project and post -project impervious coverage area and the percentage of the
property covered with impervious surfaces. Include an estimate of the proposed
changes in the amount of directly -connected impervious areas, which drain
directly into the storm drain system without first flowing across permeable areas.
Also include an estimate of changes in site coverage with permeable or
semi -permeable pavements.
4. Description of BMPs to be Implemented to Meet All PDRP Requirements. A
description of the BMPs that will be implemented to meet all the PDRP
requirements listed in Subsection 21.35.040 (C), above, and how these BMPs will
minimize stormwater pollution and post -development changes in runoff flows from
the development.

Management to be Implemented. A description of the Low Impact Development
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-12
5-256
(LID) approach to stormwater management (see Subsection 21.35.040 (C) (2),
above) that will be implemented, or a justification if an LID approach is not
selected.

implementation of all post -development BMPs.
7. Description of BMP Management. A description of the ongoing management of
post -development BMPs (including operation, maintenance, inspection, and
training) that will be performed for the life of the development, as needed for the
BMPs to function properly.
21.35.050 — Water Quality and Hydrology Plan
A Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) shall be required for Developments of Water Quality
Concern (see Subsection (A) of this section), which are specified categories of development that
have a greater potential for adverse water quality and hydrologic impacts due to the development
size, type of land use, and/or proximity to coastal waters. The WQHP shall be prepared by a

Commercial or industrial development with a potential for generating a high
pollutant load that may potentially enter coastal waters or the storm drain system.
11. Contaminated Soil. Development on land where the soil has been contaminated
by a previous land use, and where the contaminated soil has the potential to be
eroded or to discharge the contaminants into runoff or coastal waters.
12. Near or Discharges Directly to Coastal Waters. Development that creates
and/or replaces a cumulative site total of two thousand five hundred (2,500)
square feet or more of impervious surface area, if the development is located
within one hundred (100) feet of coastal waters (including the ocean, estuaries,
wetlands, rivers, streams, and lakes) or discharges directly to coastal waters (i.e.,
does not discharge to a public storm drain system).
13. Other. Any other development determined by the Director to be a Development of
Water Quality Concern.
B. Submittal of Water Quality and Hydrology Plan. An applicant shall submit a preliminary
WQHP (based on site conditions and project features known at the time of application)
with the coastal development permit application, and shall also submit a final WQHP prior
to issuance of the coastal development permit. Any changes to the final WQHP after
issuance of the coastal development permit shall be subject to additional authorization by
the Director.
C. Requirements of Water Quality and Hydrology Plan. The WQHP shall demonstrate
that a Development of Water Quality Concern complies with the following requirements:
Prepare Plan by Qualified Licensed Professional. A California -licensed
professional (e.g., Registered Professional Civil Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer,
Geologist, Engineering Geologist, Hydrogeologist, or Landscape Architect)
qualified to complete this work shall be in responsible charge of preparing the
Water Quality and Hydrology Plan for a Development of Water Quality Concern.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-14
5-258
2. Conduct Polluted Runoff and Hydrologic Site Characterization. A polluted
runoff and hydrologic characterization of the existing site (e.g., potential pollutants
in runoff, soil properties, infiltration rates, depth to groundwater, and the location
and extent of hardpan and confining layers) shall be conducted, as necessary to
design the proposed BMPs.
3. Address Runoff from Impervious and Semi -Pervious Surfaces. Runoff from
all new and/or replaced impervious and semi -pervious surfaces shall be
addressed in the plan. For sites where the area of new and/or replaced impervious
and semi -pervious surfaces is greater than or equal to 50% of the pre-existing
impervious and semi -pervious surfaces, runoff from the entire developed area,
including the pre-existing surfaces, shall be addressed in the plan.
4. Size LID, Runoff Control, and Treatment Control BMPs Using 85th Percentile
Design Storm Standard. Any LID, Runoff Control, or Treatment Control BMP (or
suite of BMPs) implemented to comply with WQHP requirements shall be sized,
designed, and managed to infiltrate, retain, or treat, at a minimum, the runoff
produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour storm event for volume -based BMPs, or
two times the 85th percentile 1 -hour storm event for flow -based BMPs.
5. Use LID Approach to Retain Design Storm Runoff Volume On -Site. The
development shall implement an LID approach to stormwater management that
will retain on-site (by means of infiltration, evapotranspiration, or harvesting for
later on-site use) the runoff volume produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour design
storm (see Subsection (C) (4) of this section), to the extent appropriate and
feasible.
6. Conduct Alternatives Analysis if Design Storm Runoff Volume Will Not be
Retained On -Site Using LID Approach. If the proposed development will not
retain on-site the runoff volume produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour design
storm (Subsection (C) (4) of this section) using an LID approach, an alternatives
analysis shall be conducted. The alternatives analysis shall demonstrate that:
a. There are No Feasible Alternative Project Designs. Demonstrate that
there are no appropriate and feasible alternative project designs (such as a
reduced project footprint) that would enable on-site retention of the runoff
volume produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour design storm, giving
precedence to an LID approach.
On -Site Runoff Retention is Maximized. Demonstrate that on-site runoff
retention is maximized to the extent appropriate and feasible, giving
precedence to an LID approach.
C. Feasibility of Off -Site Runoff Retention is Considered. If Subsection
(C) (6) (a) and (b) of this section, above, are demonstrated, some or all of
the runoff volume produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour design storm
may be retained off-site, if it is demonstrated that off-site options will
feasibly contribute to meeting the development's runoff retention and
treatment requirements.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-15
5-259
7. Use Treatment Control BMPs to Remove Pollutants if Necessary. Treatment
Control BMPs are structural systems designed to remove pollutants from runoff by
processes such as gravity settling of particulate pollutants, filtration, biological
uptake, media adsorption, or other physical, biological, or chemical process.
Examples include vegetated swales, detention basins, and storm drain inlet filters.
The following applicability and performance standards shall be required for
Treatment Control BMPs:
a. Use Treatment Control BMPs to Remove Pollutants from any
Design Storm Runoff Not Retained On -Site. The development shall
implement a Treatment Control BMP (or suite of BMPs) to remove
pollutants of concern from any portion of the runoff produced by the 85th
percentile 24-hour design storm (see Subsection (C) (4) of this section) that
will not be retained on-site.
Use Treatment Control BMPs Prior to Infiltration Where Necessary
and Effective. Where infiltration BMPs are not adequate to remove a
specific pollutant of concern attributed to the development, an effective
Treatment Control BMP (or suite of BMPs) shall be required prior to
infiltration of runoff, or else an alternative BMP that does not involve
infiltration shall be substituted for the infiltration BMP.
C. Select Treatment Control BMPs Effective for Pollutants of Concern.
Where a Treatment Control BMP is required, a BMP (or suite of BMPs)
shall be selected that has been shown to be effective in reducing the
pollutants of concern generated by the proposed land use.
8. Use Runoff Control BMP if Development Will Add More Than 15,000 Square
Feet of Impervious Surface Area. When a development results in a large
impervious surface area, implementing Site Design strategies and LID BMPs may
potentially not be sufficient to minimize adverse post -development changes in
runoff volume, flow rate, timing, and duration, which could adversely impact
coastal waters, habitat, and property through hydromodification. A proposed
development that will add a net total of more than fifteen thousand (15,000) square
feet of impervious surface area shall implement a Runoff Control BMP, sized for
the appropriate design storm (as specified in Subsection (C) (8) (a) and (b) of this
section), to capture and retain a portion of the anticipated increase in runoff
volume after the site is developed.
Runoff Control BMPs are structural systems designed to minimize
post -development changes in runoff flow characteristics by processes such as
infiltration, evapotranspiration, harvesting for later on-site use, detention, or
retention of runoff. Examples include retention structures such as basins, ponds,
topographic depressions, and stormwater vaults.
The following applicability and performance standards shall be required for Runoff
Control BMPs, as determined by the net increase in impervious surface area:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-16
5-260
a. Runoff Control BMPs Using Flow Retention Techniques. If a proposed
development will add a net total of more than fifteen thousand (15,000)
square feet of impervious surface area, the development shall implement a
Runoff Control BMP that uses Flow Retention techniques to capture and
retain any portion of the runoff volume produced by the 85th percentile,
24-hour design storm (see Subsection (C) (4) of this section) that will not be
retained on-site using an LID approach. Flow Retention techniques shall
optimize on-site infiltration, and shall use stormwater storage, harvesting
for later on-site use, and/or evapotranspiration to address any of the
required runoff flow retention volume that cannot be infiltrated.
Runoff Control BMPs Using Peak Management Techniques. In
addition to using Flow Retention techniques, a proposed development that
will add a net total of more than twenty-two thousand five hundred (22,500)
square feet of impervious surface area shall also implement a Runoff
Control BMP that uses Peak Management techniques to prevent the
post -development runoff peak flows discharged from the site from
exceeding pre -project peak flows for the 2 -year through 10 -year storm
events.
9. Use Appropriate BMPs For High -Pollutant Land Uses. Commercial and
industrial developments with a potential for a high concentration of pollutants
(including, but not limited to, outdoor work and storage areas, restaurants, roads
and highways, parking lots, and vehicle service facilities) shall implement
appropriate Site Design and Source Control BMPs to keep pollutants out of
stormwater, and shall either use Treatment Control BMPs to remove pollutants of
concern before discharging runoff to coastal waters or the storm drain system, or
shall connect the pollutant -generating area to the sanitary sewer.
10. Design and Manage Parking Lots to Minimize Polluted Runoff. A parking lot
over five thousand (5,000) square feet in area shall be designed to minimize
impervious surfaces, and the parking lot runoff shall be treated and/or infiltrated
before it discharges to coastal waters or the storm drain system, so that heavy
metals, oil and grease, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants on parking
lot surfaces will not enter coastal waters. Parking lot design and management
shall include:
a. Parking Lot Landscaping. The design of landscaped areas for parking
lots shall consider, and may, where appropriate, be required to include
provisions for the on-site detention, retention, and/or infiltration of
stormwater runoff, in order to reduce and slow runoff, and provide pollutant
cleansing and groundwater recharge. Where landscaped areas are
designed for detention, retention, and/or infiltration of stormwater runoff
from the parking lot, recessed landscaped catchments (below the elevation
of the pavement) shall be required. Curb cuts shall be placed in curbs
bordering landscaped areas, or else curbs shall not be installed, in order to
allow stormwater runoff to flow from the parking lot into landscaped areas.
All surface parking areas shall be provided a permeable buffer between the
parking area and adjoining streets and properties.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-17
5-261
Parking Lot Vacuuming. Accumulations of particulates that may
potentially be contaminated by oil, grease, or other pollutants shall be
removed from heavily used parking lots (e.g., fast food outlets, lots with
twenty-five (25) or more parking spaces, sports event parking lots,
shopping malls, grocery stores, and discount warehouse stores) by dry
vacuuming or equivalent techniques.
C. Filter Maintenance. Filter treatment systems, particularly for hydrocarbon
removal BMPs, shall be adequately maintained.
11. Manage BMPs for Life of Development. Appropriate protocols shall be
implemented to manage BMPs (including ongoing operation, maintenance,
inspection, and training), to protect coastal water quality for the life of the
development.
D. Content of Water Quality and Hydrology Plan. To comply with the WQHP requirements
listed in Subsection (C) of this section, the WQHP shall include, at a minimum, the
following required components, if they are applicable to the development:
Post -Development Runoff Plan Information. All of the information required for
the Post -Development Runoff Plan (see Section 21.35.040), including Site Design
strategies and pollutant Source Control BMPs.
2. Documentation of Polluted Runoff and Hydrologic Site Characterization. A
polluted runoff and hydrologic characterization of the existing site (e.g., potential
pollutants in runoff, soil properties, infiltration rates, depth to groundwater, and the
location and extent of hardpan and confining layers) as necessary to design the
proposed BMPs.
3. Description of BMPs to be Implemented to Meet All WQHP Requirements. A
description of the BMPs that will be implemented to meet all the WQHP
requirements listed in Subsection (C) of this section, and how these BMPs will
minimize stormwater pollution and changes in runoff flows from the development.
Include documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs,
including a characterization of post -development pollutant loads, and calculations,
per applicable standards, of changes in the stormwater runoff flow regime (i.e.,
volume, flow rate, timing, and duration of flows) resulting from the proposed
development when implementing the proposed BMPs.
4. Calculations for Sizing BMPs Using 85th Percentile Design Storm Standard.
Calculations that demonstrate that the proposed BMP (or suite of BMPs)
implemented to comply with WQHP requirements (see Subsection (C) of this
section) has been sized and designed to infiltrate, retain, or treat, at a minimum,
the runoff produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour storm event for volume -based
BMPs, or two times the 85th percentile 1 -hour storm event for flow -based BMPs.
5. Documentation that Runoff from Impervious and Semi -Pervious Surfaces is
Addressed as Required. A table quantifying the site's new, replaced, and
pre-existing impervious and semi -pervious surface areas. Documentation that
runoff from all new and/or replaced impervious and semi -pervious surfaces is
addressed. For sites where the area of added and/or replaced impervious and
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.35-18
5-262
semi -pervious surfaces is greater than or equal to 50% of the pre-existing
impervious and semi -pervious surfaces, documentation that runoff from the entire
developed area, including pre-existing surfaces, is addressed (pursuant to
Subsection (C) (3) of this section).
6. Description of LID Approach Used to Retain Design Storm Runoff Volume
On -Site. A description of the LID approach to stormwater management to be
implemented, documenting that LID Site Design strategies have been given
priority, and a description of the LID BMPs that will be used to retain on-site (by
means of infiltration, evapotranspiration, or harvesting for later on-site use) the
runoff produced by the 85th percentile 24-hour design storm (see Subsection (C)
(4) of this section), to the extent appropriate and feasible.
7. Alternatives Analysis Documenting Site -Specific Constraints. Where an
alternatives analysis is required (pursuant to Subsection (C) (6) of this section),
document the site-specific engineering constraints and/or physical conditions to
justify the determination that there are no appropriate and feasible alternative
project designs that would retain on-site the runoff produced by the 85th percentile
24-hour design storm, giving precedence to an LID approach. Also demonstrate
that on-site runoff retention is maximized to the extent appropriate and feasible,
and that the feasibility of off-site runoff retention is considered.
8. Description of BMP Management. A description of the ongoing management of
post -development BMPs (including operation, maintenance, inspection, and
training) that will be performed for the life of the development, as needed for the
BMPs to function properly.

requirements of this chapter in compliance with Section 21.38.070
(Landmark Structures).
21.38.050 — Nonconforming Uses
Nonconforming uses may be changed, expanded, increased, or intensified only as
provided in this section.
A. Expansion and Intensification of Existing Nonconforming Uses. In
nonresidential coastal zoning districts, and in areas where residential uses are not
allowed in Planned Community Districts or specific plan districts, only a use that
was previously allowed by right, but which becomes nonconforming because of
new permit regulations, may be expanded or intensified (e.g., increase in floor
area, lot area, or occupancy load) if such new development does not increase the
degree of the use's nonconformity, complies with the coastal protection policies of
the Local Coastal Program, and is subject to the approval of a coastal
development permit.
B. Change of Use.
1. A nonconforming nonresidential use may be changed to a conforming use,
provided the change does not create or increase a deficiency in required
off-street parking except as provided in Section 21.38.060 (Nonconforming
Parking).
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.38-4
5-267
2. A residential use that is nonconforming because it exceeds the allowed
number of units for the coastal zoning district may be altered to reduce the
number of dwelling units, provided the reduction complies with any floor
area limit and affordable housing provisions are satisfied.
C. Exception for Landmark Structures. The use of a landmark structure may be
changed, expanded, increased, or intensified subject to compliance with the
provisions of Section 21.38.070 (Landmark Structures).
D. Exception for Short-term Lodging. A short-term lodging lodging unit legally
established on or before June 1, 2004, on a parcel in the R-1 (Single -Unit
Residential) Coastal Zoning District, or a parcel designated for single -unit dwelling
land use as part of a Planned Community development plan, may continue.
21.38.060 — Nonconforming Parking
A. Residential. Where a residential structure or use is nonconforming only because
it does not conform to the off-street parking requirements of this Implementation
Plan, the following provisions shall apply:
1. Number of Spaces. A residential development having less than the required
number of parking spaces per dwelling unit shall be allowed the following repairs,
alterations, and additions:
a. Repair and maintenance, interior alterations, and structural
alterations, as provided for in Section 21.38.040(A) through (F); and
b. Additions up to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the existing floor
area of the structure as provided in Section 21.38.040(G).
C. Any repair, maintenance, or additions shall not result in loss of
existing parking spaces and
d. Required parking shall be provided where feasible.
2. Dimensions or Type of Parking Spaces. Residential developments that
are nonconforming because they do not have the required type of covered
or enclosed parking spaces or because amendments to this
Implementation Plan have changed the dimensions of required parking
spaces subsequent to the original construction of the structure may be
altered or expanded as follows:
a. All improvements and expansions allowed under subsection (A)(1)
of this section;
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.38-5
5-268
b. Additions larger than those allowed under subsection (A)(1) of this
section may be allowed subject to the approval of a coastal
development permit.
3. Alley Access. Where applicable, residential development involving
repairs, alterations, and additions to residential development having less
than the required number of parking spaces per dwelling unit shall provide
alley access to parking area if it would result in additional public street
parking.
B. Nonresidential. Where nonresidential structures and uses are nonconforming
because they do not provide the required number of parking spaces the following
provisions shall apply:
1. Change of Use. A nonconforming use in a nonresidential coastal zoning
district, and in areas where residential uses are not allowed in Planned
Community Districts or specific plan districts, may be changed to a new use
allowed in that coastal zoning district without providing additional parking,
provided no intensification or enlargement (e.g., increase in floor area, or lot
area) occurs and the new use requires a parking rate of no more than one
space per two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross building area.
2. Repair, Maintenance, and Alterations. Repair, maintenance, and
alterations to nonconforming structures and uses shall be allowed as
provided in Section 21.38.040(A) through (G).
3. Addition to Structure or Intensification of Use. A nonconforming
structure or use may be enlarged by up to ten (10) percent of its existing
gross floor area, or a nonconforming use may be changed to a new use that
requires additional parking under the following conditions:
a. Required parking for the additional square footage is provided; or
b. If the new use requires more parking than the nonconforming use,
the new use shall only be required to provide additional parking
equal to the difference between the two; or
C. A reduction in the number of required parking spaces is approved in
compliance with the provisions of this Implementation Plan.
4. Demolition of Structure. All rights with regard to nonconforming parking
shall be lost for a structure that is voluntarily demolished, except as
provided in Section 21.38.040(1) (Exceptions).
21.38.070 — Landmark Structures
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan

2. Alterations. Structural alterations may be made to a landmark structure
subject to compliance with the conditions of subsection (D) of this section.
D. Conditions. The exemptions specified in subsection (C) of this section are
applicable on the following conditions only where a finding can be made that the
development will not perpetuate or establish a physical impediment to public
access to coastal resources, nor adversely impact coastal views or biologicial
resources:
1. A new use that is initiated and a use that is intensified by way of a change in
operational characteristics shall be an accessory use and remain
subordinate to the principal use of the landmark structure;
2. The principal use of the landmark structure shall occupy at least seventy
(70) percent of the gross floor area of the structure;
3. Any permit required by other titles of the Municipal Code (other than this

5. The required off-street parking of all uses after any additions,
intensification, modification, or expansion (including credit for reductions in
off-street parking resulting from the elimination of accessory uses existing
on January 1, 2003) is less than the required off-street parking for the
principal and accessory uses prior to any additions, intensification,
modification or expansion; and
6. The facade and exterior architectural features of the landmark structure are
restored to substantially their original condition as determined by the
Director and the exterior walls remain in substantially the same location as
they existed on January 1, 2003.

21.48.025 — Visitor Accommodations
A. Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to applications involving the
development of new visitor accommodations or the expansion, reduction, redevelopment,
demolition, conversion, closure, or cessation of existing visitor accommodations.
B. Considerations. The review authority shall consider:
The development's ability to protect, encourage, or provide low cost visitor -serving
and recreational facilities on the project site or in the immediately adjacent area;
and
2. The development's impact to, and ability to provide, public recreational
opportunities;
3. The feasibility to rehabilitate existing low cost accommodations to meet a minimum
acceptable level of comfort and hospitality while maintaining the ability to provide
low cost visitor accommodations; and
4. The range of room types and room rates Citywide.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.48-1
5-294
C. Protection of Low Cost Visitor Accommodations.
Low, Moderate, and High Cost Visitor Accommodations Defined. For
purposes of this subsection, visitor accommodations shall be defined as low,
moderate, or high cost as follows:
Low Cost — The average daily room rate of all economy hotels and motels
in the City that have room rates that are below the statewide average daily
room rate or lower. Economy hotels and motels are AAA -rated one or two
diamond hotels, or equivalent.
Moderate Cost — The average daily room rate is between low cost and high
cost.
High Cost — The average daily room rate is 120 percent of the statewide
average daily room rate or greater.
For purposes of this section, room rate shall include the equivalent rental rate for
campgrounds, recreational vehicle parks, hostels, and similar visitor
accommodations.
2. Feasibility Analysis Required. An analysis of the feasibility of providing lower
cost visitor accommodations shall be required for any application involving the
expansion, reduction, redevelopment, demolition, conversion, closure, or
cessation of any project involving visitor accommodations, with the exception of
short-term lodging. If the proposed rates are not lower cost, the feasibility study
shall explain why providing lower cost accommodations as part of the project is not
feasible. This explanation shall address: the land value; development costs; a
breakdown of the estimated annual revenues (including average daily rate and
occupancy rates); a breakdown of the estimated operating costs; and any other
information necessary to address the feasibility of providing lower cost
accommodations on site.
The feasibility analysis shall be prepared at the applicant's expense.
3. Impact Analysis Required. An analysis of a development's impact on the
availability of lower cost visitor accommodations in the City shall be required for
any application involving:
a. The expansion, reduction, redevelopment, demolition, conversion,
closure, or cessation of any project involving visitor accommodations,
with the exception of short-term lodging; or
b. New or limited -use overnight visitor accommodations.
The impact analysis shall be prepared at the applicant's expense.
4. Impact Defined. The proposed development would result in the decrease in the
available supply of existing lower cost visitor accommodations, or would fail to
provide a range of affordability, including at least 25% of the rooms as low cost
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.48-2
5-295
accommodations, or fail to use land suitable for lower cost accommodations for
that purpose with the exception of short-term lodging.
5. Mitigation. If the review authority determines that the development will impact
existing lower cost visitor -serving accommodations, or provide only high or
moderate cost visitor accommodations or limited use overnight visitor
accommodations such as timeshares, fractional ownership and
condominium -hotels, then mitigation commensurate with the impact shall be
provided by one of more of the following:
a. Replacement of low cost rooms lost shall be provided at a one-to-one
ratio either on-site or a suitable off-site location within the City,
b. Payment of an in -lieu fee commensurate with the impact shall be
required; or;
C. Programmatic components that provide low cost overnight
accommodations; or
Other form of mitigation addressing cost of stay.
The review authority may authorize deviations from development standards that
provide economic incentives to the development to maintain affordability.
6. In -Lieu Fee Program Specific detailed information regarding calculation and use
of any required in -lieu fees as part of a mitigation program shall be included as a
condition of approval of the Coastal Development Permit for the visitor
accommodations.
7. Rate Control and Income Eligibility Requirements Prohibited. In no event
shall a development as mitigation be required:
a. To provide overnight room rental be fixed at an amount certain; or
To establish any method for the identification of low or moderate income
persons for the purpose of determining eligibility for overnight room rentals
in any such facilities.
8. Protection of Short-term Lodging. Most short-term lodging units meet the low
cost definition when maximum occupancy is taken into account. Short-term
lodgings can accommodate more people than a typical hotel room. They also
provide full-sized, equipped kitchens allowing families or larger groups to reduce
the overall cost of a visit by allowing them to prepare meals as an alternative to
dining out. The City shall continue to permit short-term lodgings as a means of
providing lower-cost overnight visitor accommodations while continuing to prevent
conditions leading to increase demand for City services and adverse impacts in
residential areas and coastal resources.
D. Conversion to LUOVA Prohibited. The conversion of any hotel or motel unit or similar
visitor accommodation for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued on or before
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.48-3
5-296
July 14, 2009, to a limited -use overnight visitor accommodations (LUOVA) shall be
prohibited, except as provided in subsection (1) of this subsection.
Exceptions to Conversion Prohibitions. A LUOVA project shall be permitted on
the hotel resort property located at 1107 Jamboree Road, subject to a coastal
development permit conditioned with the following requirements:
a. LUOVA units shall be provided together with traditional overnight, hotel
visitor accommodations; and
b. A minimum of three hundred and ninety-one (391) traditional hotel units
shall remain available for transient overnight use by the general public year
round and no more than eighty-eight (88) of the total four hundred and
seventy-nine (479) units planned may be LUOVA units; and
C. Owner use of LUOVA units shall not exceed a maximum of ninety (90) days
per calendar year with a maximum of twenty-nine (29) days of use during
any sixty (60) day period; and
d. LUOVA units shall be maintained by the management of the hotel facility
and shall be remain available for transient overnight use by the general
public when not occupied by the owner; and
e. The hotel owner/operator shall retain control and ownership of all land,
structures, recreational amenities, meeting space, restaurants, and other
non -guest room/units; and
f. The proposed LUOVA project shall comply with the provisions of
subsection (C) of this section.

vessels berthed or moored in the harbor, such as boat haul -out facilities;
9. Protect, and where feasible, expand and enhance existing harbor support uses
serving the needs of existing waterfront uses, recreational boaters, the boating
community and visiting vessels;
10. Support private sector uses, such as vessel assistance, that provide emergency,
environmental enhancement and other services that are not provided by the public
sector and that are essential to the operation of a harbor;

limited to those structures directly supportive of visitor -serving and recreational uses, such
as public safety facilities, restroom facilities, showers, bikeways, walkways, public
recreation facilities, and similar public facilities. Such structures shall be designed and
sited to minimize impacts to public coastal views.
C. Parking. Public parking shall be permitted provided there are no significant adverse
impacts to public beaches or the public's right of access to the bay and ocean. Any
proposed change(s) to existing public parking shall be reviewed to determine whether an
amendment to an existing coastal development permit or a new coastal development
permit is required.
D. Dory Fleet. The historic Dory Fishing Fleet shall be permitted to be launched and stored

providing the service. Such techniques shall be employed to make the installation,
appearance and operations of the facility as visually inconspicuous as practicable. To the
greatest extent feasible, facilities shall be designed to minimize the visual impact of the
facility by means of location, placement, height, screening, landscaping, and shall be
compatible with existing architectural elements, building materials, other building
characteristics, and the surrounding area.
In addition to the other design standards of this section, the following criteria shall be
considered by the review authority in connection with its processing of any coastal
development permit for a telecom facility:
1. Blending. The extent to which the proposed telecom facility blends into the
surrounding environment or is architecturally compatible and integrated into the
structure.
2. Screening. The extent to which the proposed telecom facility is concealed or
screened by existing or proposed new topography, vegetation, buildings or other
structures.
3. Size. The total size of the proposed telecom facility, particularly in relation to
surrounding and supporting structures.
4. Location. Proposed telecom facilities shall be located so as to utilize existing
natural or manmade features in the vicinity of the facility, including topography,
vegetation, buildings, or other structures to provide the greatest amount of visual
screening and blending with the predominant visual backdrop. Telecom facilities
shall be sited outside any environmentally sensitive habitat area, wetland, or bluff
and sited such that they have no adverse impact on public access and recreation.
5. Collocation. In evaluating whether the collocation of a telecom facility is feasible,
the criteria listed in subsections (A)(1) through (4) of this section shall be used to
evaluate the visual effect of the combined number of facilities at the proposed
location.
B. Public View Protection. All new or modified telecom facilities, whether approved by
administrative or discretionary review, shall comply with Section 21.30.100 (Public View
Protection). In general, telecom facilities shall be located outside any public viewshed to or
along the ocean, bay, beach or coastal bluffs. Additionally, potential impacts from a new or
modified telecom facility to public views that are not identified by the Coastal Land Use
Plan shall be evaluated to determine if inclusion in the Coastal Land Use Plan would be
appropriate. If deemed appropriate for inclusion, the potential impacts to such public views
shall be considered.

required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
3. Telecom facilities installed on streetlights, utility poles, utility towers or other similar
structures within the public right-of-way shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in
height above the finished grade.
4. Telecom facilities may be installed on existing utility poles or utility towers that
exceed thirty-five (35) feet above the finished grade where the purposes of the
existing utility pole or utility tower is to carry electricity or provide other wireless
data transmission; provided, that the top of the proposed antennas do not extend
above the top of the utility pole or utility tower.
5. Telecom facilities disguised as flagpoles may be installed provided they meet
applicable height limits for flagpoles provided in Section 21.30.060.
D. Setbacks. Proposed telecom facilities shall comply with the required setback established
by the development standards for the coastal zoning district in which the facility is
proposed to be located. Setbacks shall be measured from the part of the facility closest to
the applicable lot line or structure.
E. Design Techniques. Design techniques shall result in the installation of a telecom facility
that is in harmony and scale with the surrounding area, screens the installation from view,
and prevents the facility from visually dominating the surrounding area. Design techniques
may include the following:
1. Screening elements to disguise, or otherwise hide the telecom facility from view
from surrounding uses.
2. Painting and/or coloring the telecom facility to blend into the predominant visual
backdrop.
3. Siting the telecom facility to utilize existing features (such as buildings,
topography, vegetation, etc.) to screen or hide the facility.
4. Utilizing simulated natural features (trees, rocks, etc.) to screen or hide the telecom
facility.
5. Providing telecom facilities of a size that, as determined by the City, is not visually
obtrusive such that any effort to screen the facility would create greater visual
impacts than the facility itself.
6. To the greatest extent practicable, new Class 4 facilities shall be designed and
sited to facilitate the collocation of one additional telecom operator.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.49-7
5-309
F. Screening Standards. For collocation installations, the screening method shall be
materially similar to those used on the existing telecom facility, and shall not diminish the
screening of the facility. If determined necessary by the review authority, use of other
improved and appropriate screening methods may be required to screen the antennas
and support equipment from public view. The following is a non-exclusive list of potential
design and screening techniques that must be considered for all facility installations:
1. Class 1 (Stealth/Screened) Installations.
a. All telecom facility components, including all antennas, antenna panels,
cables, wires, conduit, mounting brackets, and support equipment, shall be
fully screened, and mounted either inside the building or structure, or
behind screening elements and not on the exterior face of the building or
structure.
Screening materials shall match in color, size, proportion, style, and quality
with the exterior design and architectural character of the structure and the
surrounding visual environment. If determined necessary by the reviewing
authority, screening to avoid adverse impacts to views from land or
buildings at higher elevations shall be required.
C. When a telecom facility is proposed within an existing or new architectural
feature such as a steeple, religious symbol, tower, cupola, clock tower, sign
tower, etc., the facility shall be architecturally compatible with the existing
structure or building.
2. Class 2 (Visible) Installations.
a. Building or structure mounted antennas shall be painted or otherwise
coated to match or complement the predominant color of the structure on
which they are mounted and shall be compatible with the architectural
texture and materials of the building to which the antennas are mounted.
No cables, wires, conduit, mounting brackets or any other associated
support equipment shall be visible.
All antenna components and support equipment shall be treated with
exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the predominant visual
background and/or adjacent architecture so as to visually blend in with the
surrounding development. Subdued colors and nonreflective materials that
blend with surrounding materials and colors shall be used.
3. For Class 3 (Public Right -of -Way) Installations.
a. Whenever feasible, new antennas proposed to be installed in the public
right-of-way shall be placed on existing utility structures, streetlights, or
other existing vertical structures. Antenna installations on existing or
replacement streetlight poles or utility poles shall be screened by means of
canisters, radomes, shrouds other screening measures whenever feasible,
and treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the
existing pole.
New or replacement vertical structures may be allowed when authorized by
the Municipal Code and approved by the Public Works Department.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.49-8
5-310
Replacement poles or streetlights shall be consistent with the size, shape,
style, and design of the existing pole, including any attached light arms.
New poles or streetlights may be installed, provided they match existing or
planned poles within the area.
C. If antennas are proposed to be installed without screening, they shall be
flush -mounted to the pole and shall be treated with exterior coatings of a
color and texture to match the pole.
4. Class 4 (Freestanding Structure) Installations.
a. The installation of new lattice towers or monopoles with visible antennas or
antenna arrays is strongly discouraged due to the visual effects of such
facilities. Preferred monopole designs include fully screened antennas
without visible brackets, cables, or conduit. Additionally, any lattice tower or
monopole should be sited in the least obtrusive location as practicable.
b. The construction of new freestanding structures such as signs, monoliths,
pyramids, light houses, or other similar vertical structures shall be designed
and sited to appropriately complement a site and screen all elements of the
telecom facility.
C. The installation of artificial rocks shall match in scale and color with other
rock outcroppings in the general vicinity of the proposed site. An artificial
rock screen may not be considered appropriate in areas that do not have
natural rock outcroppings.
d. The installation of artificial trees or shrubbery is strongly discouraged if they
are obviously not natural to the average reasonable observer. When an
artificial tree or shrubbery is proposed, it shall be designed for and located
in a setting that is compatible with the proposed screening method. Such
installations shall be situated so as to utilize existing natural or manmade
features including topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures to
provide the greatest amount of visual screening. All antennas and antenna
supports shall be contained within the canopy of the tree design or other
vegetation comparable to that being replicated by the proposed screening
elements. Finally, the addition of new comparable living vegetation may be
necessary to enhance the artificial tree or shrubbery screening elements.
e. Flagpoles shall not exceed twenty-four (24) inches in width at the base of
the flagpole and also shall not exceed twenty (20) inches in width at the top
of the flagpole.
5. Class 5 (Temporary) Installations. A temporary telecom facility installation may
require screening to reduce visual impacts depending on the duration of the permit
and the setting of the proposed site. If screening methods are determined to be
necessary by the review authority, the appropriate screening methods will be
determined through the application review and permitting process in consideration
of the temporary nature of the facility.
6. Support Equipment. All support equipment associated with the operation of any
telecom facility shall be placed or mounted in the least visually obtrusive location
practicable, and shall be screened from view.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.49-9
5-311
a. Installations on Private Property. The following is a non-exclusive list of
potential screening techniques for telecom facilities located on private
property:
Building -Mounted Telecom Facilities. For building- or
structure -mounted antenna installations, support equipment for the
facility may be located inside the building, in an underground vault,
or on the roof of the building that the facility is located on; provided,
that both the equipment and any screening materials are
architecturally compatible and/or painted the color of the building,
roof, and/or surroundings thereby providing screening.
Roof -Mounted Telecom Facilities. All screening materials for
roof -mounted facilities shall be of a quality and design compatible
with the architecture, color, texture and materials of the building to
which it is mounted. If determined necessary by the review
authority, screening to avoid adverse impacts to views from land or
buildings at higher elevations shall be required.
iii. Freestanding Telecom Facilities. For freestanding facilities
installations, not mounted on a building or structure, support
equipment for the facility may be visually screened by locating the
support equipment in a fully enclosed building, in an underground
vault, or in a security enclosure consisting of walls and/or
landscaping to effectively screen the support equipment at the time
of installation.
iv. All wall and landscaping materials shall be selected so that the
resulting screening will be visually integrated with the architecture
and landscape architecture of the surroundings.
V. Screening enclosures may utilize graffiti -resistant and
climb -resistant vinyl -clad chain link with a "closed -mesh" design

and shall be subject to approval by the review authority. Signage required by State or
Federal regulations shall be allowed in its smallest permissible size.
Nonconformities. A proposed or modified telecom facility shall not create any new or
increased nonconformity as defined in this Implementation Plan, such as, but not limited
to, a reduction in and/or elimination of, required parking, landscaping, or loading zones
unless relief is sought pursuant to applicable zoning code procedures.
Maintenance. The telecom operator shall be responsible for maintenance of the telecom
facility in a manner consistent with the original approval of the facility, including but not
limited to the following:
Any missing, discolored, or damaged screening shall be restored to its original
permitted condition.
2. All graffiti on any components of the telecom facility shall be removed promptly in
accordance with the Municipal Code.
3. All landscaping required for the telecom facility shall be maintained in a healthy
condition at all times, and shall be promptly replaced if dead, dying, or damaged.

Notwithstanding any provision in this chapter, a request to modify an existing facility that involves
the collocation of new transmission equipment, the removal of existing transmission equipment,
or the replacement of existing transmission equipment shall be subject to administrative review
and approval without processing any discretionary permit provided that such modification does
not substantially change the physical dimensions of the existing facility from the original permit for
the facility. A substantial change means a single change, or series of changes over time, that
exceeds five percent of the physical dimensions of the original approved telecom facility, or as
otherwise defined by applicable provisions of State or Federal law.
Each application submitted under this section for a modification or collocation to an existing
telecom facility shall be accompanied by:
A. A detailed description of the proposed modifications to the existing telecom facility(ies);
B. A photograph or description of the telecom facility as originally constructed, if available; a
current photograph of the existing facility; and, a graphic depiction of the facility after
modification showing all relevant dimensions;

Sections:
21.52.010 Purpose
21.52.015 Coastal Development Permits
21.52.025 Emergency Coastal Development Permits
21.52.035 Projects Exempt from Coastal Permit Requirements
21.52.045 Categorical Exclusions
21.52.055 Waiver for De Minimis Development
21.52.075 Coastal Commission Review of Recorded Access Documents
21.52.010 — Purpose
This chapter provides procedures to ensure that all public and private development in the Coastal
Zone is consistent with the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Division 20 of the Public Resources
Code) as amended, in accordance with the City's Local Coastal Land Use Plan and the City's
Local Coastal Program. The provisions of this chapter shall apply in the Coastal Zone, as
defined by the Coastal Act. Furthermore, the provisions of this chapter, and as applicable the
Coastal Act and regulations, shall be utilized to determine whether or not a proposal in the City's
permitting jurisdiction constitutes development and whether or not that development requires a
coastal development permit or is exempt. No provision contained in any other chapter of the
Implementation Plan, nor in any other City policy or regulations shall be used in such
determinations.
21.52.015 — Coastal Development Permits
A. Coastal Development Permit Required. Any development in the Coastal Zone shall
require a coastal development permit issued by the City pursuant to Chapter 21.50, or the
Coastal Commission, unless exempt or excluded from coastal development permitting
requirements. Development undertaken pursuant to a coastal development permit shall
conform to the plans, specification, terms and conditions of the permit. The requirements
for obtaining a coastal development permit shall be in addition to requirements to obtain
any other permits or approvals required by other articles of this Ordinance, other city
ordinances or codes or from any state, regional or local agency. If conflicts between this
chapter and other city ordinances or codes arise, this chapter shall govern.
B. Permit Jurisdiction. After the effective certification of the LCP and the Coastal
Commission's delegation of authority to the City, the City shall issue all coastal
development permits for development not located within the Coastal Commission's permit
jurisdiction.
Coastal Development Permit Issued by the Coastal Commission.
Developments on tidelands, submerged lands, and public trust lands as described
in Public Resources Code Section 30519(b) and in deferred certification areas
designated by the certified Local Coastal Program require a permit or exemption
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.52-1
5-323
issued by the Coastal Commission in accordance with the procedure as specified
by the Coastal Act. Areas of Coastal Commission permit jurisdiction and deferred
certification areas are generally depicted on the Post-LCP Certification Permit and
Appeal Jurisdiction Map.
a. Approval in Concept. All development in areas where the Coastal
Commission retains coastal development permit authority shall require
conceptual approval from the City prior to application to the Coastal
Commission. An approval in concept indicates that the proposed
development conforms in concept to all City land use and development
regulations, including any applicable discretionary actions, and therefore
entitles the applicant to apply to the Coastal Commission for a coastal
development permit.
2. Coastal Development Permit Issued by the City. All development requires a
coastal development permit unless specifically exempted or excluded. After
certification of the LCP, the City shall issue all coastal development permits and
exemptions or exclusions for development not located within the Coastal
Commission's permit jurisdiction.
C. Application Filing, Processing, and Review. An application for a coastal development
permit shall be filed and processed in compliance with Chapter 21.50 (Permit Application
Filing and Processing). The application shall include all of the information and materials
specified by the Director, together with the required fee in compliance with the City's fee
schedule adopted by resolution. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide evidence
in support of the findings required by subsection (F) of this section (Findings and
Decision).
D. Public Notice and Hearing Provisions.
Public Hearing Required. A public hearing shall be required before the decision
on any coastal development permit application for development that is not
exempted or excluded.
2. Notice. Notice of the hearing shall be provided and the hearing shall be conducted
in compliance with Chapter 21.62 (Public Hearings).
E. Review Authority. The review authority identified in Table 21.50-1 (Section 21.50.020)
is designated to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for coastal
development permits and the modification or revocation thereof, in compliance with the
procedures provided in this section. The review authority may not exercise its power to
grant or deny applications for coastal development permits in a manner which will take or
damage private property for public use, without the payment of just compensation
therefor.
F. Findings and Decision. The review authority may approve or conditionally approve a
coastal development permit application, only after first finding that the proposed
development:
Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program;
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page 21.52-2
5-324
2. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or
shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone.
G. Conditions of Approval. The review authority may impose such reasonable terms and
conditions in connection with the granting of a coastal development permit as deemed
necessary ensure that the development will be in accordance with the certified Local
Coastal Program and, if applicable, the public access and public recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, and may require guarantees and evidence that such
conditions are being or will be complied with.
H. Notice of Final Action. Within five (5) days of the date of the City's final local action on
an exemption or coastal development permit application and meeting the requirements of
Title 14 California Code of Regulations section 13570, a notice of its final action shall be

21.52.025 — Emergency Coastal Development Permits
In the event of a verified emergency, temporary permits to proceed with remedial measures may
be authorized by the Director until such time as a full coastal development permit shall be filed.
A. Application. An emergency coastal development permit application shall be made to
the Director in writing, or if, in the opinion of the Director, time does not allow written
application, the application may be made orally in person or by telephone or electronic
mail and shall include the following:
A description of the nature or cause of the emergency and location of the
emergency;
2. The location of the protective or preventative work required to deal with the
emergency;
3. An explanation of the circumstances during the emergency that justify the action to
be taken, including the probable consequences of failing to take action.
B. Limitations. The Director shall not grant an emergency coastal development permit for
any development that falls within an area in which the Coastal Commission retains direct
permit review authority. In such areas and for such developments, a request for an
emergency authorization must be made to the Coastal Commission. In addition, a waiver
for a coastal development emergency permit may be obtained from the Coastal

single -unit residential buildings, including all fixtures and other exterior structures
directly attached to the residence; ancillary structures normally associated with
single -unit residences, such as garages, swimming pools, fences, storage sheds,
but not including guest houses or self-contained residential units; and landscaping
on the lot. The following classes of development require a coastal development
permit, however, because they involve a risk of adverse environmental effects:
a. Improvements to a single -unit structure where either the structure or the
improvement is located on a beach, in a wetland or stream, seaward of the
mean high tide line, within an environmentally sensitive habitat area, or in
an area designated as highly scenic in the Certified Coastal Land Use Plan,
or within fifty (50) feet of the edge of a coastal bluff.
Any significant alteration of land forms including removal or placement of
vegetation on a beach, wetland, or sand dune, or within 50 feet of the edge
of a coastal bluff or stream, or in an environmentally sensitive habitat area.
C. Expansion or construction of a water well or septic system.
d. Improvements on property that is located between the sea and first public
road paralleling the sea, or within 300 feet of the inland extent of any beach

the greater distance, or in significant scenic resources areas as designated
by the Coastal Commission, when such improvements would constitute or
result in any of the following:
(1) An increase of 10 percent or more of the floor area of existing
structure(s) on the building site or an additional improvement of 10
percent or less where an improvement to the structure has
previously been undertaken pursuant to California Public
Resources Code Section 30610(a) and/or this subsection.
(2) The construction of an additional story or loft or increase in building
height of more than 10 percent.

Any improvement to a single -unit residence where the coastal
development permit issued for the original structure indicates that any
future improvements would require a coastal development permit.
In any particular case, even though an improvement falls into one of the classes
set forth in subsection (C)(1) above, the Director may, upon finding that the impact
of the development on coastal resources or coastal access to be insignificant,
waive the requirement of a permit pursuant to Section 21.52.055 (Waiver for De
Minimis Development).
2. Other Existing Structures. Improvements to existing structures, other than
single -unit residences or public works facilities, including all fixtures and other
structures directly attached to the structure and landscaping. The following classes
of development, however, require a coastal development permit because they
involve a risk of adverse environmental effect, adversely affect public access, or
involve a change in use contrary to the Coastal Act:
a. Improvements to any structure where either the structure or the
improvement is located on a beach, in a wetland or stream, or seaward of
the mean high tide line, in an area designated as highly scenic in the
certified Coastal Land Use Plan, or within 50 feet of the edge of a coastal
bluff.

d. Improvements on property that is located between the sea and first public
road paralleling the sea, or within 300 feet of the inland extent of any beach
or of the mean high tide of the sea where there is no beach, whichever is
the greater distance, or in significant scenic resources areas as designated
by the Coastal Commission, when such improvements would constitute or
result in any of the following:
(1) An increase of 10 percent or more of the internal floor area of
existing structure(s) on the building site or an additional
improvement of 10 percent or less where an improvement to the
structure has previously been undertaken pursuant to California

(3) The removal, sale, or disposal of dredged spoils of any quantity that
would be suitable for beach nourishment in an area the Coastal
Commission has declared by resolution to have a critically short
sand supply that must be maintained for protection of structures,
coastal access or public recreational use.
C. Any repair or maintenance to facilities or structures or work located in an
environmentally sensitive habitat area, any sand area, within 50 feet of the
edge of a coastal bluff or environmentally sensitive habitat area; or within
20 feet of any coastal waters and streams that include:
(1) The placement or removal, whether temporary or permanent, of rip
rap, rocks, sand or other beach materials or any other forms of solid
materials;
(2) The presence, whether temporary or permanent, of mechanized

involves the conversion of any existing multiple -unit residential structure to a
time-share project, estate, or use, as defined in Section 11003.5 of the Business
and Professions Code. If any improvement to an existing structure is otherwise
exempt from the permit requirements of this division, no coastal development
permit shall be required for that improvement on the basis that it is to be made in
connection with any conversion exempt pursuant to this subsection. The division
of a multiple -unit residential structure into condominiums, as defined in Section
783 of the Civil Code, shall not be considered a time-share project, estate, or use
for purposes of this subsection.
D. Special and Temporary Events. Special and other temporary events that meet all of
the following criteria may also be exempt from coastal development permit requirements:

Appendix A — Sea Level Rise
Purpose. To ensure that sea level rise is adequately addressed in the review of coastal
development permit applications and in future updates and amendments to the City's
Local Coastal Program (LCP).
Introduction. Climate change and sea level rise have the potential to significantly
threaten many resources within the City's coastal zone, including shoreline development,
coastal beach access and recreation, habitats, and scenic resources. These resources
are subject to specific protections and regulations in the Coastal Act and the City's LCP.
Given that the width of the City's beaches varies between fifty and six -hundred (50 and
600) feet, a sea level rise of as little as six (6) inches may have a negative impact on the
low-lying areas around Newport Bay that are not protected by bulkheads and seawalls.
Seawalls and bulkheads may also themselves cause coastal resource impacts by causing
flooding and eventual loss of areas seaward of the structure that would otherwise migrate
inland, such as beaches —a process often called "coastal squeeze." Sea level rise may
also cause increased coastal bluff retreat in the southern portion of the City where the
beaches are narrow, and the surf pounds at the base of the bluffs, eroding away the soft
bedrock that forms the cliffs.
The potential impacts of sea level rise include loss of recreational beaches due to
accelerated erosion, loss of waterfront property through erosion and inundation of
low-lying areas, the loss of coastal bluff property through increased bluff retreat, and the
loss of and changes to natural habitats in the Upper Newport Bay, Semeniuk Slough, and
other low-lying natural areas. In addition, there could be severe social and economic
hardships associated with the loss or relocation of visitor -serving, recreational, and
coastal -dependent and coastal -related businesses and facilities.
III. City's Plan of Action. The City understands there is a threat of flooding and inundation in
and around Newport Harbor due to sea level rise. Acknowledging the considerable
uncertainty in the magnitude of the rise in sea level, the City intends to undertake a
proactive program to monitor the rate of sea level rise and be prepared to implement a
both now and in the future. A vulnerability assessment will be prepared to help develop
a long-term adaptation strategy. In both the short and long-term, potential actions
may include requiring proper siting and maintenance of public and privately–owned
seawalls; requiring public and privately–owned seawalls caps be extended per City
standards; revising City standards for new seawall, top -of -seawall elevation and finished
floor elevations; studying ways to provide and maintain public access to beaches, docks
and piers; and monitoring and replenishing beach sand loss in the harbor and along the
ocean.
The efforts of the City, both immediately and long-term, are directly in accordance with the
Coastal Land Use Plan policies which are listed below:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page A-1
5-461
2.8.6-1. Prepare and periodically update comprehensive studies of seasonal and
long-term shoreline change, episodic and chronic bluff retreat, flooding, and local
changes in sea levels, and other coastal hazard conditions.
2.8.6-2. Continue to monitor beach width and elevations and analyze monitoring
data to establish approximate thresholds for when beach erosion or deflation will
reach a point that it could expose the backshore development to flooding or
damage from storm waves.
2.8.6-3. Develop and implement a comprehensive beach replenishment program
to assist in maintaining beach width and elevations. Analyze monitoring data to
determine nourishment priorities, and try to use nourishment as shore protection,
in lieu of more permanent hard shoreline armoring options.
2.8.6-4. Maintain existing groin fields and jetties and modify as necessary to
eliminate or mitigate adverse effects on shoreline processes.
2.8.6-5. Permit revetments, breakwaters, groins, harbor channels, seawalls, cliff
retaining walls and other structures altering natural shoreline processes or
retaining walls when required to serve coastal -dependent uses or to protect
existing principal structures or public beaches in danger from erosion and when
designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply,
unless a waiver of future shoreline protection was required by a previous coastal
development permit.
2.8.6-6. Design and site protective devices to minimize impacts to coastal
resources, minimize alteration of natural shoreline processes, provide for coastal
access, minimize visual impacts, and eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on
local shoreline sand supply.
2.8.6-7. Discourage shoreline protective devices on public land to protect private
property/development. Site and design any such protective devices as far
landward as possible. Such protective devices may be considered only after
hazard avoidance, restoration of the sand supply, beach nourishment and planned
retreat are exhausted as possible alternatives.
2.8.6-8. Limit the use of protective devices to the minimum required to protect
existing development and prohibit their use to enlarge or expand areas for new
development or for new development. "Existing development' for purposes of this
policy shall consist only of a principle structure, e.g. residential dwelling, required
garage, or second residential unit, and shall not include accessory or ancillary
structures such as decks, patios, pools, tennis courts, cabanas, stairs,
landscaping etc.
2.8.6-9. Require property owners to record a waiver of future shoreline protection
for new development during the economic life of the structure (75 years) as a
condition of approval of a coastal development permit for new development on a
beach, shoreline, or bluff that is subject to wave action, erosion, flooding,
landslides, or other hazards associated with development on a beach or bluff.
Shoreline protection may be permitted to protect existing structures that were
legally constructed prior to the certification of the LCP, unless a waiver of future
shoreline protection was required by a previous coastal development permit.
2.8.6-10. Site and design new structures to avoid the need for shoreline and bluff
protective devices during the economic life of the structure (75 years).
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan

Future Steps
Based on the expected rate of sea level rise, the City staff will revise existing or devise
new policies for consideration by City Council and incorporation into the LCP through a
future LCP amendment. Current policies that could be revised include changes to the
minimum finished floor elevation, maximum roof heights, setbacks, public access
requirements, existing or new seawall requirements including associated mitigation
requirements, and drainage requirements.
As part of a future LCP update, the City will conduct a sea level rise vulnerability
assessment for the City's entire coastal zone. Recent peer reviewed science indicates
that, in the next few decades, most sea level rise impacts will be experienced during
extreme events like EI Ninos and storms. Therefore, monitoring tide gauges alone will
not be sufficient to predict and prepare for those impacts. Further, development
decisions made today will affect vulnerabilities of that development decades from now.
Structures with a long "lifetime", high sensitivity, or low adaptive capacity should be sited
in locations that avoid sea level rise -related hazards for their economic lifetimes, and
those siting and design decisions should be made using best available information on
the projected future risks of sea level rise.
A future vulnerability assessment will include the geographic extent of the public
tidelands granted to the City, as required by AB 691, as well as development within the
entire coastal zone. Such a study will use the current best available science' regarding
projections of sea level rise and use scenario based analysis to consider potential
amounts of future sea level rise. The vulnerability assessment will help the City prepare
an LCP update that implements additional actions based on the actual rise in sea level
as well as in response to expected future impacts, where appropriate. Those actions will
include strategies that minimize coastal hazards and maximize protection of coastal
resources including but not limited to public access within State tidelands.
The City will continue to analyze the potential impacts of sea level rise on the community
and will consider policies and corresponding development standards for public review and
discussion. The City will also coordinate with local and regional partners to share
information and adaptation planning ideas related to sea level rise. Information gained
from analysis of wave -runup and flooding potential for individual development projects will be used
along with the City-wide vulnerability assessment to develop Local Coastal Program
amendments, which will require review and approval by the Coastal Commission.
IV. Review of Coastal Development Permits.
Upon certification of the Local Coastal Program, the City will issue coastal development
permits, based on policies and standards contained therein.
' At the time of the drafting of this Implementation Plan, the National Research Council's 2012 report,
Sea -Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon and Washington: Past, Present and Future (NCR
2012) is considered the best available science on sea level rise in California.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page A-3
5-463
The City will use the best -available science to determine a range of sea level rise
projections for use in reviewing coastal development permit applications. Sea level rise
science continues to evolve, and some processes that are not fully understood may
potentially have large effects on future sea level rise. Therefore, the City will re-examine
the best available science periodically in conjunction with the release of new information
on sea level rise. The City will consider relevant science that is current, peer-reviewed,
and widely accepted among the scientific community.
The National Research Council's 2012 report, Sea -Level Rise for the Coasts of California,
Oregon and Washington: Past, Present and Future (NRC 2012) provides sea level rise
projections of 2-12 inches by 2030, 5-24 inches by 2050, and 17-66 inches by 2100 for
Southern California. Sea level rise amounts expected by years other than 2030, 2050, and
2100 should be calculated by interpolating or extrapolating data points using best fit
equations. Sea level rise projections that match the anticipated project life of the
development under consideration should be used.
In its review of coastal development permits, the following policy shall be implemented in
addition to the relevant policies stated in Section III.
2.8.3-1. Require all coastal development permit applications for new development
on a beach or on a coastal bluff property subject to wave action to assess the
potential for flooding or damage from waves, storm surge, or seiches, through a
wave uprush and impact reports prepared by a licensed civil engineer with
expertise in coastal processes. The conditions that shall be considered in a wave
uprush study are: a seasonally eroded beach combined with long-term (75 years)
erosion; high tide conditions, combined with long-term (75 year) projections for sea
level rise; storm waves from a 100 -year event or a storm that compares to the
1982/83 EI Nino event.
Applicability. Sea level rise should be considered in the review of a CDP when the
project is in an area that is reasonably expected to be impacted by sea level rise over the
lifetime of the new development, including but not limited to areas on low-lying land, on
eroding coastal bluffs, or are in proximity to water. These include:
"Low-lying land" areas include the Semeniuk Slough, West Newport, Lido
Peninsula, Balboa Peninsula, Bay Island, Balboa Island, Little Balboa Island,
Collins Island, Balboa Coves, Mariners' Mile, Balboa Bay Club Resort, Bay
Shores, Harbor Island, and Beacon Bay.
"Eroding coastal bluffs" include those along Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar
and in Shorecliffs and Cameo Shores.
"Proximity to water" includes all of the above areas and shoreline properties in
Newport Shores, Newport Island, Lido Isle, Harbor Island, Bayside, Carnation
Cove, China Cove, Bayside Village, Newport Dunes, and Dover Shores.
To facilitate this review, the following steps/analysis shall be required in developing the
application submittal.
Step 1 Establish the projected sea level rise range for the proposed project's
planning horizon (life of project) using the current best available science.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page A-4
5-464
Step 2 For each sea level rise scenario identified in Step 1, determine how
physical impacts from sea level rise may impact the project site, including
erosion, structural and geological stability, flooding and inundation.
Wave Uprush and Wave Impacts (see Section 21.30.015.E.2). The
wave uprush and wave impact the analysis should identify risks that
potentially could occur over the anticipated life of the project from 1) a
seasonally eroded beach combined with long term (75 -year) erosion,
including accelerated erosion rates resulting from sea level rise; 2) high tide
conditions, combined with long-term (75 year) projections for sea level rise;
and 3) storm waves from a 100 -year event or a storm that compares to the
1982/83 EI Nino event.
2. Geologic Stability (see Section 21.30.015.E.4). Geologic stability reports
should analyze site-specific stability and structural integrity without reliance
upon existing or new protective devices (including cliff -retaining structures,
seawalls, revetments, groins, buried retaining walls, and caisson
foundations) that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs
and cliffs. Geologic stability can include, among others, concerns such as
landslides, slope failure, liquefiable soils, and seismic activity. In most
situations, the analyses of these concerns will be combined with the
erosion analysis to fully establish the safe developable area.
3. Erosion. The erosion analysis should establish the extent of erosion that
could occur from current processes, as well as future erosion hazards
associated with the identified sea level rise scenarios over the life of the
project. If possible, these erosion conditions should be shown on a site
map, and the erosion zone, combined with the geologic stability concerns,
can be used to help establish locations on the parcel or parcels that can be
developed without reliance upon existing or new protective devices
(including cliff -retaining structures, seawalls, revetments, groins, buried
retaining walls, and caissons) that would substantially alter natural
landforms along bluffs and cliffs.
4. Flooding and Inundation. The flooding or inundation analysis should
identify the current tidal datum and include analysis of the extent of flooding
or inundation that potentially could occur from the identified sea level rise
scenarios.
5. Other Impacts. Any additional sea level rise related impacts that could be
expected to occur over the life of the project, such as saltwater intrusion
should be evaluated. This may be especially significant for areas with a
high groundwater table such as wetlands or coastal resources that might
rely upon groundwater.
Step 3 Determine how the project may impact coastal resources, considering the
influence of sea level rise over the life of the project. Resources to
consider shall include public access and recreation, coastal habitats, water
quality, archaeological/paleontological resources and scenic resources.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page A-5
5-465
Step 4 Seek alternatives to avoid resource impacts and minimize risk to the
project, such as increasing heights of sea walls or finished floor elevations.
Step 5 In conjunction with the approval of the CDP, appropriate conditions of
approval will be placed on the project.

Appendix B — Coastal Access Signing Program
Sign Guidelines.
a. Signs should be place to allow safe pedestrian clearance and should avoid conflict
with door opening or vehicular operation. Signs should be located to be easily
read, and placed to provide safe stopping or turning distance. Height should
normally be 40 inches from the ground to the bottom of a single sign and 36 inches
from the ground to the bottom of a double sign. Signs along walkways should be
set back a minimum of 18 inches.
b. Signing should be consolidated wherever possible: it is preferable to have one sign
with three messages that three signs on three separate posts with separate
messages. Signs can be combined with other fixtures such as lights to reduce
unnecessary posts and cluttering of the landscape or view. However, types of
signs should not be mixed; warning or regulatory signs especially should not be
mixed with other types.
C. The style for lettering should be standardized throughout the signing system.
d. Coastal access signs should incorporate a standardized symbol that is
recognizable by the general public as a symbol that means coastal access.
e. Any segment of the California Coastal Trail should incorporate official California
Coastal Commission "foot and wave" logo and/or the words "California Coastal
Trail."
The use of international, pictorial symbols can also be an integral part of a
standardized signing program for accessways. The use of symbols rather than
phrases or sentences has a number of advantages: symbols are more explicit than
words; sign size can be reduced; and symbols are more explicit than words; sign
size can be reduced; and symbols are universally understood. When located
correctly, signs using symbols are universally understood. When located correctly,
signs using symbols can stand alone, with little or no additional explanation. When
used consistently throughout the accessway signing system, the symbols can be
used in conjunction with additional written information to provide a quick index to
the types of activity, the regulations for use and the location of accessways which
are part of the system. Symbol signs have been standardized and are readily
available from most sign companies.
Types of Signs. There are four basic sign types. The kind of information that a sign is
conveying determines its placement, design and use.
a. Wayfinding. These signs help orient visitors, shoppers, and residents alike,
pointing them to area parking facilities, retail establishments, pedestrian and
bicycle access routes, and other important destinations. A wayfinding signs can be
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page B-1
5-467
tailored to specific groups depending on contextual factors and desired outcomes;
however, these tools are most relevant and important for those unfamiliar with an
area. Wayfinding informs people of the best way to access an area, depending on
their mode of travel. Marine -oriented signs should assist owners/operators of
visiting vessels to locate harbor support facilities.
b. Public Access. These signs assist the public in locating, recognizing, and utilizing
public trails and bikeways. These signs should be used intersections with roads
or trails and at trailheads. Use of too many directional signs should be avoided.
However, where it is necessary to use a number of directional signs, they can be
effectively clustered. To indicate a change in route or confirmation of a correct
direction, an arrow should be included in a directional sign. Where appropriate,
these signs should include information advising the public of environmentally
sensitive habitats, safety hazards, and to respect adjacent private property.
Marine -oriented signs should assist boat owners/operators and the public to locate
public launching and docking facilities.
C. Informational Signs. Informational signs are used for organizing a series of
elements (i.e., location of restrooms, water fountains, telephones, etc.)
Informational signs should be placed at a natural gathering spots and included in
the design of the accessway.
d. Regulatory Signs. A regulatory sign should differ in shape from other signs and
give operational requirements, restrictions or warnings (i.e., environmentally
sensitive habitats, safety hazards, private property, etc.) Graphic symbols are
useful in transmitting messages quickly.
e. Identification Signs. Identification signs give specific location information.

Appendix C — Oceanfront Encroachment Policy Guidelines
The Oceanfront Encroachment Policy established specific restrictions and conditions on the
installation of private improvements in the public right of way along the oceanfront from the Santa
Ana River Channel to Channel Road.
The policy included a mitigation program involving the reconstruction of 33 unimproved street
ends between 36th Street and Summit Street to provide additional parking and improved public
access. In 2002, the final five street ends were reconstructed. Pursuant to the mitigation
program, a minimum of 85 percent of the encroachment fees will be used for the construction and
maintenance of improvements which directly benefit the beach -going public such as parking
spaces, restrooms, vertical or lateral walkways along the beach and similar projects.
The Oceanfront Encroachment Policy was originally approved by the Coastal Commission on
June 11, 1991 and finalized by the City Council through the adoption of Resolution No. 91-80 on
July 11, 1991. These restrictions and conditions were incorporated into the Coastal Land Use
Plan, which was approved by the Coastal Commission on October 13, 2005, adopted by the City
Council on December 13, 2005, and became effective on February 8, 2006.
These guidelines are intended to implement the Oceanfront Encroachment Policy by establishing
a procedure for approval of permitted encroachments, removal of prohibited encroachments,
limiting the extent of encroachments, and clarification of improvements permitted within each
encroachment zone.
A. Definitions.
For the purpose of this Section, the following words and phrases shall be defined
as specified below:
a. Existing encroachment shall mean any encroachment or improvement
installed or constructed before May 31, 1992.
b. New encroachment shall mean any encroachment or improvement
installed or constructed after May 31, 1992.
C. Improvements or Encroachments shall mean any object, thing or
landscaping:
within or oceanward of any encroachment zone described in this
policy;
ii. within or oceanward of the north edge of the Oceanfront Boardwalk,
between 36th Street and A Street; or
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page C-1
5-470
iii. oceanward of any residential parcel from a point 250 feet southeast
of E Street to Channel Road.
d. Encroachment permit shall mean the permit issued by the Public Works

notice to that effect shall be sent to the property owner within twenty (20) days after
the application is filed.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page C-4
5-473
4. With respect to applications for existing encroachments, an inspection shall be

encroachments proposed to be constructed, or to remain, are permitted by this
Section, the applicant has agreed to abide by all of the terms and conditions
imposed on the permit, and the applicant has paid all fees.
6. The Public Works Director shall have the authority to condition his/her approval of
the encroachment permit as necessary or appropriate to insure compliance with
the provisions of this Section. The Public Works Director shall have the specific
authority to condition approval of an encroachment permit on the removal of
nonconforming improvements within a specified period of time.
7. The Public Works Director shall notify the applicant of his/her decision within sixty
(60) days after the application is filed and the decision of the Public Works Director
shall be final.

Standard Conditions.
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page C-5
5-474
The Public Works Director shall impose standard conditions of approval on all
encroachment permits. These standard conditions shall include, without limitation,
the following:
a. The obligation of permittee to comply with all of the provisions of this policy
and all conditions imposed upon the permit.
b. The right of the Public Works Director to revoke any permit after notice and
hearing if the permittee is in violation of this policy or conditions to the
permit.
C. The right of the City to summarily abate encroachments or improvements
which are prohibited by this policy or conditions on the permit upon ten (10)
day's written notice.
d. The obligation of permittee to pay all costs incurred by the City in
summarily abating any prohibited improvement.
e. The obligation of permittee to defend, indemnify and hold the City and its
employees harmless from and against any loss or damage arising from the
use or existence of the improvements or encroachment.
f. Permittee's waiver of any right to contest the City's street and public access
easement over property within or oceanward of the encroachment zones.
g. The right of the Public Works Director or his designee to inspect
improvements within the encroachment zone without notice to the
permittee.
h. The right of the City to cancel or modify any, or all, encroachment permit(s)
upon a determination by the City Council to construct a public facility or
improvement within or adjacent to the encroachment zone.
2. The construction of any seawall, revetment or other device necessary to control
erosion, shall occur as close to private property as feasible.
Erosion control devices shall not be placed or installed closer to the ocean to
protect improvements or encroachments.
3. The Public Works Director may impose additional standard conditions necessary
or appropriate to insure compliance with, or facilitate City administration of this
policy.
J. Determination of Grade.
The nature of the beach makes a precise determination of grade difficult. The level
of the sand changes with wind, storm, and tidal conditions. The Public Works
Director shall determine the level from which the height of encroachments and
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page C-6
5-475
improvements is to be measured. In making this determination, the Public Works
Director shall consider the following criteria:
a. The existing natural grade in the area;
d. Any data on the historic elevation of the beach in that area.
K. Annual Fee.
The fees based on the depths of encroachment shown below shall be established
by resolution of the City Council and paid annually as a condition of the issuance of
encroachment permits:
Depth of Encroachment
0 - 5 feet
5 - 7 1/2 feet
7 1/2 - 10 feet
10 - 15 feet
2. For purposes of determining fees, the average depth of the encroachment shall be
used. However, the maximum depth shall not exceed the limitations specified in
Section B. A dimensional tolerance not to exceed 12 inches may be allowed in
determining the appropriate fee to be paid by persons with existing
encroachments.
3. The annual fee shall be due and payable upon submittal of the application for the
initial encroachment permit. Renewal fees shall be due May 31 of each year. The
fee shall be considered delinquent thirty (30) days thereafter. Delinquent fees shall
be established by resolution of the City Council.
4. The annual fee shall be used to defray City costs of administration, incidental costs
of improvements on street ends along the oceanfront, and incidental costs to
enhance public access and use of the ocean beaches. At least eighty-five (85%)
percent of the fees shall be used by the City to implement the mitigation plan as
required by Amendment No. 23 to the Land Use Plan of the City's Local Coastal
Program. (See Section M.)
L. Violations/Remedy.
The City shall, in addition to any right or remedy provided by law, have the right to
do any or all of the following in the event a permittee is in violation of the provisions
of this policy or any condition to the permit, or any encroachment or improvement
violates the provisions of this policy:
Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan
Page C-7
5-476
a. Revoke the permit after giving the permittee notice and an opportunity to be
heard upon a determination that there is substantial evidence to support a
violation of this policy. The Public Works Director shall establish the
specific procedures designed to insure that permittee receives due process
of law.
b. Summarily abate any encroachment or improvement violative of this policy
after giving the permittee or property owner ten (10) day's written notice of
its intention to do so in the event the permittee or property owner fails to
remove the encroachment or improvement. The permittee or property
owner shall pay all costs incurred by the City in summarily abating the
encroachment or improvement. The determination of the Public Works
Director with respect to abatement shall be final.
M. Mitigation Plan.
To mitigate any impact on beach access resulting from the encroachments, the City shall:
Reconstruct thirty-three unimproved street ends between 36th Street and Summit
to provide additional parking and approved access in accordance with the
following:
a. The reconstruction shall provide a minimum, where feasible, of two parking
spaces per street end and shall proceed in substantial conformance with
the standard drawing, attached as exhibit "A."
b. The City shall use at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the fees to fund
reconstruction of street ends until all have been improved. The City will use
its best efforts to improve three or more street ends per year (except during
the year when vertical handicapped access is constructed), and anticipates
that funding will be adequate to do so.
C. West Newport street -end parking spaces shall be metered in the same
manner as the West Newport Park in order to encourage public use of the
spaces.
2. Within three years after Council approval of this Resolution, City shall construct a
hard surface walkway perpendicular to Seashore Drive at Orange Avenue. The
walkway shall extend oceanward a sufficient distance to allow a view of the surfline
by an individual seated in a wheelchair. At least one handicapped parking space
shall be designated at the Orange Avenue street end. City shall designate at least
one other handicapped space at one of the first three street ends improved.
3. Subsequent to the reconstruction of all West Newport street ends, at least
eighty-five percent (85%) of the fees generated by encroachments will be used for
the construction of improvements which directly benefit the beach going public

such as parking spaces, rest rooms, vertical or lateral walkways along the beach
and similar projects.
