DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
x The subject property is located in the R-2 Coastal Zoning District, which provides for
single-unit residential development and is consistent with the City’s Coastal Land
Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal development permit is required
and the property is not eligible for a waiver for de minimis development because the
property is located in the Coastal Commission Appeal Area.
x The existing nonconforming duplex does not currently provide alley access; however,
in 2013, the property owner dedicated 15 feet of their property to the City for the
purpose of constructing an alley at the rear of the site. Several other properties along
this stretch have also provided dedications to allow a complete alley connection
between A and B Streets to be constructed in the future. The adjacent property at
914 East Ocean Front provided an alley dedication in 2015. Project implementation
will result in the construction of a portion of the alley extension to serve this site and
adjacent property at 914 East Ocean Front. The Public Works Department has
reviewed the preliminary garage and alley design, found it acceptable, and will review
the final design during plan check of the duplex.
x The property currently consists of one legal lot developed with a two-unit residence.
The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-story, single-
and two-unit residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development
is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and expected
future development consistent with applicable development standards.
x The proposed duplex and accessory structures conform to all applicable
development standards, including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and off-street
parking as evidenced by the project plans and illustrated in Table 1 below.

x The development fronts the public boardwalk along East Ocean Front along
Peninsula Park, greater than 500 feet from the shoreline.
x A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by
GeoSoils, Inc., dated October 4, 2019 for the project. The current maximum tide
water elevation is 7.7 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).
According to the report, the estimated sea level rise at the site appears to be
between 3.2 and 5.1 feet over the next 75 years utilizing different probabilistic
scenarios, accounting for water levels rising in the range of 10.9 to 12.8 feet
NAVD88. The Newport Beach City Council approved the use of the high estimate
of the “low risk aversion” scenario, which is 3.2 feet by the year 21 00, or 3.1 feet
by 2096. Therefore, the sea level is estimated to likely reach approximately 10.9
feet NAVD88 over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the structure). The report
concludes that the proposed project is reasonably safe from shoreline erosion due
to the lack of wave or wakes that can erode sand from the beach. There is a very
wide (greater than 500 feet) sandy beach in front of the property. The current mean
high tide line is over 500 feet from the site and it is unlikely that over the life of the
structure that the mean high tide line will reach within 300 feet of the property. The
finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is 12.4 feet
(NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88) elevation
standard for new structures and exceeds the future likely sea level rise scenario
of10.9 feet NAVD88.
x Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section
21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv), the property owner will be required to enter into an
agreement with the City waiving any potential right to protection to address
situations in the future in which the development is threatened with damage or
destruction by coastal hazards (e.g., waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The
property owner will also be required to acknowledge any hazards present at the
site and unconditionally waive any claim to damage or liability against the decision
authority, consistent with NBMC Section 21.30.015(D)(3)(c). Both requirements
are included as conditions of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to the
issuance of building permits for construction
x The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code
(CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations
specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior
to the issuance of a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the
inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are
reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building
permit issuance.

Water Quality
x The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion control plan
and a post-construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation
features designed to retain dry weather run-off and minor rain event run-off on-site.
Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
Public Access and Views
x The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline.
NBMC Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access bear a
reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact, and be
proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces an existing legal non-
conforming duplex located on a standard R-2 lot with a new two-unit residence.
Therefore, the project does not involve a change in land use, density or intensity that
will result in increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities.
Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so
as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities.
x Vertical access to the beach is available near the site along A and B Streets. Lateral
access is available on the beach and the boardwalk adjacent to the site on East
Ocean Front.
x During construction, any construction personnel will be required to utilize private
property for staging and no materials can be stored off-site in the public right-of-way
(including the boardwalk). The project does not include any features that would
obstruct access along these routes. To ensure there are no impacts to public access,
the project has been conditioned to require the submission of a construction
management plan, reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department,
demonstrating the applicant will have sufficient and guaranteed access to the site
through private property. This plan shall also include any areas necessary for storage
of construction equipment and materials.
x The project site is located adjacent to and immediately south of Peninsula Park,
which is a designated public viewpoint in the Coastal Land Use Plan and offers public
views of the beach and the ocean.
x Site evaluation (per Section 21.30.100 of the NBMC) revealed that the proposed
three-story design is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development for one- and two-unit dwellings, and will not affect the existing views
afforded from Peninsula Park. The project will replace an existing nonconforming
duplex with a new duplex that complies with all applicable development standards,
including the third-floor design requirements that restrict square footage on the third
floor in terms of size and location. There are no views currently through the project
4

site, as it is developed with an existing two-story duplex. The public viewpoint is
intended to provide views of the ocean and beach.
x Opportunities to enhance the visual quality of the coastal zone were also reviewed.
The front of the proposed residence, which is visible from the boardwalk and
Peninsula Park, will contain substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in
keeping with the design guidelines of the Zoning Code. The new structure would
comply with required setbacks, and provide an additional setback along the front of
the property on the first floor, beyond what is required by code. The design includes
modulation of volume throughout the structure and low walls that prevent the
appearance of the site being walled off from the park and streets. Therefore, the
project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the Coastal Zone
or result in significant adverse impacts to existing public views.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) 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.
Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three single-family residences and additions of up

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such
findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed development complies with applicable residential development standards
including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking.
a. The maximum floor area limitation is 3,452 square feet and the proposed floor area
is 3,413 square feet.
b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 6
feet along the front property line abutting East Ocean Front, 3 feet along each side
property line and 0 feet along the new rear property line abutting the alley
dedication area.
c. The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from established grade (11.45 feet
NAVD88) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from established grade,
which comply with the maximum height requirements.
d. The project includes a four-car garage, complying with the minimum four-car
parking requirement for duplexes.
2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-story, single- and -
two-unit residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is
consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development.

3. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by GeoSoils, Inc.,
dated October 4, 2019, for the project. The current maximum tide water elevation is 7.7
feet NAVD88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). According to the
report, the estimated sea level rise at the site appears to be between 3.2 and 5.1 feet
over the next 75 years utilizing different probabilistic scenarios, accounting for water
levels rising in the range of 10.9 to 12.8 feet NAVD88. The Newport Beach City Council
approved the use of the high estimate of the “low risk aversion” scenario, which is 3.2
feet by the year 2100, or 3.1 feet by 2096. Therefore, the sea level is estimated to likely
reach approximately 10.9 feet NAVD88 over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the
structure). The report concludes that the proposed project is reasonably safe from
shoreline erosion due to the lack of wave or wakes that can erode sand from the beach.
There is a very wide (greater than 500 feet) sandy beach in front of the property. The
current mean high tide line is over 500 feet from the site and it is unlikely that over the
life of the structure that the mean high tide line will reach within 300 feet of the property.
The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is 12.4 feet
(NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for
new structures and exceeds the future likely sea level rise scenario of10.9 feet NAVD88.
4. Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv), the property owner will be required to
enter into an agreement with the City waiving any potential right to protection to address
situations in the future in which the development is threatened with damage or destruction
by coastal hazards (e.g., waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The property owner will also
be required to acknowledge any hazards present at the site and unconditionally waive any
claim to damage or liability against the decision authority, consistent with NBMC Section
21.30.015(D)(3)(c). Both requirements are included as conditions of approval that will need
to be satisfied prior to final building inspection, and prior to the issuance of building permits,
respectively.
5. The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC)
and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically
addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of
building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation
identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with
approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit issuance.
6. The property is located adjacent to Peninsula Park and the beach. The subject site is
approximately 560 feet from the ocean. A Construction Erosion Control Plan was provided
to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to
minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters
derived by construction chemicals and materials. The project design also addresses water
quality through the inclusion of a post-construction drainage system that includes drainage
and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event run-off on-
site. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
7. Proposed landscaping complies with Implementation Plan Section 21.30.075. A
condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant species. Prior to issuance
10
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-###
Page 4 of 9
07-02-19
of building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed to verify invasive species
are not planted
8. Site evaluation (per Section 21.30.100 of the NBMC) revealed that the proposed three-
story design is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development for one-
and two-unit dwellings, and will not affect the existing views afforded from Peninsula Park.
The project will replace an existing nonconforming duplex with a new two-unit residence
that complies with all applicable development standards, including the third floor design
requirements that restrict square footage on the third floor in terms of size and location.
There are no views currently through the project site, as it is developed with an existing
two-story duplex. The public viewpoint is intended to provide views of the ocean and
beach.
9. Opportunities to enhance the visual quality of the coastal zone were also reviewed. The
front of the proposed residence, which is visible from the boardwalk and Peninsula Park,
will contain substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in keeping with the
design guidelines of the Zoning Code. The new structure would comply with required
setbacks, and provide an additional setback along the front of the property beyond what
is required by code. The design includes modulation of volume throughout the structure
and low walls that prevent the appearance of the site being walled off from the park and
streets. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality
of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to existing public views.
Finding:
B. 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 .
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline. NBMC
Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable
relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact, and be proportional to the
impact. In this case, the project replaces an existing legal nonconforming duplex located
on a standard R-2 lot with a new two-unit residence. Therefore, the project does not involve
a change in land use, density or intensity that will result in increased demand on public
access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited
(appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access
opportunities.
2. Vertical access to the beach is to the beach is available near the site along A and B Streets.
Lateral access is available on the beach and the boardwalk adjacent to the site on East
Ocean Front.
3. During construction, any construction personnel will be required to utilize private property
for staging and no materials can be stored off-site in the public right-of-way (including the
boardwalk). The project does not include any features that would obstruct access along
11

these routes. To ensure there are no impacts to public access, the project has been
conditioned to require the submission of a construction management plan, reviewed and
approved by the Public Works Department, demonstrating the applicant will have sufficient
and guaranteed access to the site through private property. This plan shall also include
any areas necessary for storage of construction equipment and materials.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Coastal
Development Permit No. CD2019-046, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit “A,”
which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
2. This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution
was adopted unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with the
Community Development Director in accordance with the provisions of Title 21 Local
Coastal Implementation Plan, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Final action taken
by the City may be appealed to the Coastal Commission in compliance with Section
21.64.035 of the City’s certified LCP and Title 14 California Code of Regulations,
Sections 13111 through 13120, and Section 30603 of the Coastal Act.

EXHIBIT “A”
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved site plan, floor
plans and building elevations stamped and dated with the date of this approval (except as
modified by applicable conditions of approval).
2. Prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, an agreement in a form approved
by the City Attorney between the property owner and the City shall be executed and
recorded waiving rights to the construction of future shoreline protection devices to
address the threat of damage or destruction from waves, erosion, storm conditions,
landslides, seismic activity, bluff retreat, sea level rise, or other natural hazards that may
affect the property, or development of the property, today or in the future. The agreement
shall be binding against the property owners and successors and assigns.
3. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall submit a notarized
signed letter acknowledging all hazards present at the site, assuming the risk of injury
or damage from such hazards, unconditionally waiving any claims of damage against
the City from such hazards, and to indemnify and hold harmless City, its City Council, its
boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any
and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation,
attorney’s fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which
may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to City’s approval of
development. This letter shall be scanned into the plan set prior to building permit issuance.
4. No demolition or construction materials, equipment debris, or waste, shall be placed or
stored in a location that would enter sensitive habitat, receiving waters, or a storm drain
or result in impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas, streams, the beach,
wetlands or their buffers. No demolition or construction materials shall be stored on
public property.
5. This approval does not authorize any new or existing improvements (including
landscaping) on State tidelands, public beaches, or the public right-of-way.
6. The final alley design shall be approved by Public Works prior to building permit
issuance. The design shall ensure that the garage finish floor (at the garage door) shall
be 6-inches above the alley flow line.
7. This Coastal Development Permit does not authorize any development seaward of the
private property.
8. The applicant is responsible for compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
In compliance with the MBTA, grading, brush removal, building demolition, tree
trimming, and similar construction activities shall occur between August 16 and January
31, outside of the peak nesting period. If such activities must occur inside the peak
13
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-###
Page 7 of 9
07-02-19
nesting season from February 1 to August 15, compliance with the following is required
to prevent the taking of Native Birds pursuant to MBTA:
A. The construction area shall be inspected for active nests. If birds are observed flying
from a nest or sitting on a nest, it can be assumed that the nest is active. Construction
activity within 300 feet of an active nest shall be delayed until the nest is no longer
active. Continue to observe the nest until the chicks have left the nest and activity is no
longer observed. When the nest is no longer active, construction activity can continue
in the nest area.
B. It is a violation of state and federal law to kill or harm a native bird. To ensure
compliance, consider hiring a biologist to assist with the survey for nesting birds, and
to determine when it is safe to commence construction activities. If an active nest is
found, one or two short follow-up surveys will be necessary to check on the nest and
determine when the nest is no longer active.
9. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Good Housekeeping Practices (GHPs) shall
be implemented prior to and throughout the duration of construction activity as
designated in the Construction Erosion Control Plan.

12. Trash and debris shall be disposed in proper trash and recycling receptacles at the end
of each construction day. Solid waste, including excess concrete, shall be disposed in
adequate disposal facilities at a legal disposal site or recycled at a recycling facility.
13. Revisions to the approved plans may require an amendment to this Coastal
Development Permit or the processing of a new coastal development permit.
14. The project is subject to all applicable City ordinances, policies, and standards, unless
specifically waived or modified by the conditions of approval.
15. The applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Material violation of
any of those laws in connection with the use may be cause for revocation of this Coastal
Development Permit.
16. This Coastal Development Permit may be modified or revoked by the Zoning
Administrator if determined that the proposed uses or conditions under which it is being
operated or maintained is detrimental to the public health, welfare or materially injurious
14

Melinda,
Thank you for taking the time to get on a call with me about this & explaining
the points.
I am concerned about the parking even with the understanding of they are
going to use a wider garage door.
The alley is might be narrow with my untrained eye when I am looking at this.
To me just feels like it will be a very tight turn & potentially be a safety hazard.
On the notice it has said we have to raise issue at the public hearing.
I won’ t be able to attend the meeting but I wanted to send this email to have
the parking & the alley to be looked at again please to make sure there is
enough radius for the turn.
I want to be clear my problem is not with the construction or the plans.
I just want to make sure the cars will be able to turn in and out of the garage
with out potentially hitting our building.
Thank you for your time to note this on the hearing.
Let me know if you have any questions or anything else you might need from
me.
Kind regards,
Ari
