• Public improvements such as broken and/or otherwise damaged concrete and
curb along Narcissus Avenue will be required of the applicant per the Municipal
Code and Subdivision Map Act.

MAP NO. NP2018-019 FOR A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FOR
CONDOMINIUMS LOCATED AT 710 & 710 % NARCISSUS
AVENUE (PA2018-125)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Hadi Malek with respect to property located at 710 and 710'/2
Narcissus Avenue, and legally described as Lot 12, Block 741, in Corona del Mar Tract
requesting approval of a tentative parcel map.
2. The applicant proposes a tentative parcel map for two -unit condominium purposes. An
existing duplex has been demolished and a new two -unit dwelling is currently under
construction. No waivers of Title 19 (Subdivisions) are proposed. The Tentative Parcel
map would allow each unit to be sold individually.
3. The subject property is designated Two -Unit Residential (RT) by the General Plan Land
Use Element and is located within the Two -Unit Residential (RT) Zoning District.
4. The subject property is not located within the coastal zone.
5. A public hearing was held on August 9, 2018 in the Corona del Mar Conference Room
(Bay E -1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and
purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal
Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Zoning
Administrator at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15315 under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) of the CEQA Guidelines, California
Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant
effect on the environment.
2. The Class 15 exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four (4) or fewer parcels when the division
is in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was
not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two (2) years, and the
parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The Tentative Parcel
Map is for condominium purposes and is consistent with all of the requirements of the
Class 15 exemption.

Pace 2 of 8
SECTION 3. 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. A duplex
was demolished and will be 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 current RT General Plan Land Use Designation.
2. The Tentative Parcel Map does not apply to any 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 or 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.
04-24-19
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2018-###
Paqe 3 of 8
Facts in Support of Finding:
The site was previously developed with a duplex that has been demolished and a
new two -unit duplex is under construction.
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 of Chapter 3), of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines — Class 15 (Minor Land
Alterations).
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:
The Tentative Parcel Map is for residential condominium purposes. All improvements
associated with the project will comply with all 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. 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:
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.
04-24-19
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2018-###
Paqe 4 of 8
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:
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, lies in 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.
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 beer
satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
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.
04-24-19
g
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2018-###
Paqe 5 of 8
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
condominium purposes 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. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision
conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public
access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The subject property is not located within the Coastal Zone.
2. The project is not located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline
of any body of water located within the coastal zone; therefore, the public access
and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act are not applicable.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Tentative Parcel
Map No. NP2018-019, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached
hereto and incorporated by reference.
