To whom it may concern:
We are pleased to submit the plans and supporting documents for the Coastal Development Permit of
the Shaoulian Residence located at 110 & 106 Sonora Street, Newport Beach, CA. The proposed project
includes the construction of a new 3-story plus basement duplex (2-units). One unit has an attached 2-
car garage and the second unit has a 1-car garage plus carport, all with access taken from Seashore Dr.
The L-2 City Council Policy states, "For new developments, proposed new street curb openings or
retention of existing street curb openings shall not be permitted for residential property which abuts an
alley. All vehicle access shall be from the alley". However, this policy is intended to maximize and
maintain existing on-street parking. Seashore Dr., along with Sonora St ., is a no parking, red curb for the
entire length of the property line : Therefore, it is justifiable that a driveway curb opening taken from
Seashore Dr. would have absolutely no impact to on-street parking.
Furthermore, several properties along Seashore abutting the rear alley have taken their driveway access
from Seashore's red curb condition . Attached is a map with 8 examples of these conditions. Our
proposal would therefore be compatible and harmonious with the neighborhood, pursuant to Section
20 .52.080 F of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
We hope the information we have provided allows you to approve our CDP application .
Please contact our office if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
