REQUIRED FINDINGS. The Zoning Administrator determined in this case that the Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and is approved based on the following findings per Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps) of Title 19. Finding: A. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Tentative Parcel Map is for two-unit residential condominium purposes. Two detached dwelling units will be demolished and replaced with a new two-unit duplex. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the density of the R-2 Zoning District and the RT General Plan Land Use Designation. 2. The Tentative Parcel Map is not located within a specific plan area. Finding: B. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The lot is physically suitable for a two-unit development because it is regular in shape and is relatively flat. 2. The subject property is accessible from Narcissus Avenue and an alley at the rear, and is adequately served by existing utilities. Finding: C. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision making body may nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was prepared for the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 21081 of the California Environmental Quality Act that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. 05-26-2016 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2017-### Page 3 of 9 Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The site is currently developed with two detached dwelling units, which will be demolished and replaced with a new duplex. 2. The property is located in an urbanized area that does not contain any sensitive vegetation or habitat. 3. The project is categorically exempt under Section 15315 (Article 19 or Chapter 3), of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines — Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions). Finding: D. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Tentative Parcel Map is for residential condominium purposes. All improvements associated with the project will comply with required Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes, which are in place to prevent serious public health problems. Public improvements will be required of the developer per Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) of the Municipal code and Section 66411 (Local agencies to regulate and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied with. Finding- E. indin :E. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision making body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided and that these easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within a subdivision. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of property within the proposed development, because there are no public easements located on the property. 05-26-2016 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2017-### Page 4 of 9 Finding: F. That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will result in residential development incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the land. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the subject property is not designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area. 2. The site, developed for residential use, is located within a Zoning District that permits residential uses. Finding: G. That, in the case of a "land project" as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code: (1) there is an adopted specific plan for the area to be included within the land project; and (2) the decision making body finds that the proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for the area. 1. California Business and Professions Code Section 11000.5 has been repealed by the Legislature. However, this project site is not considered a "land project" as previously defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code because the project site does not contain 50 or more parcels of land. 2. The project is not located within a specific plan area. Finding: H. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act. Facts in Support of Finding- 1. inding:1. The Tentative Parcel Map and any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California Building Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach Building Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection process. 05-26-2016 g Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2017-### Page 5 of 9 Finding: 1. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's share of the regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed two-unit duplex is consistent with the R-2 Zoning District which allows two (2) residential units on the property. Therefore, the Tentative Parcel Map for the proposed condominiums will not affect the City in meeting its regional housing need. Finding: J. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The new two-unit duplex will be designed so that wastewater discharge into the existing sewer system complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. Finding: K.
