consistent with this designation.
2. This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt
from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
3. The modification to the Zoning Code as proposed would be consistent with the 1 'slative
intent of Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and is a logical use of the property

for the following reason(s):
• The decrease in clear parking width is minor in nature since the width I as been
increased at the critical portion of the parking space.

vehicle.

Building Code requirements for guardrail/handrail.

visible to the public.
