HomeMy WebLinkAboutNotice of Availability - Complete NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF DRAFT LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENTS RELATED TO CORRECTIONS, CLARIFICATIONS, AND INCONSISTENCIES NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that in accordance with applicable provisions of the Coastal Act and Section 13515 of the California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 5.5, Chapter 8, Subchapter 2, Article 5, a draft of the proposed amendment is available for public review and inspection at the Planning Division and at all branches of the Newport Beach Public Library, and online at www.newportbeachca.gov/lcp for the following amendment to the Implementation Plan (IP) of certified Local Coastal Program (LCP): Amendment to Section 21.18.030 (Residential Coastal Zoning Districts General Development Standards) The Zoning Code allows residential lots to be subdivided to create lots with smaller sizes and dimensions than required by that zone, provided the lot size and dimensions are not less than the original underlying lots on the same block face and in the same zoning district. However, this provision was inadvertently left out of the certified Implementation Plan of the LCP. This amendment would correct that oversight and make the LCP consistent with existing Zoning Code provisions. Amendment to 21.28.010 (Purposes of Overlay Zoning Districts) Overlay zoning districts are a common tool to modify a base zoning district for a specific area. While overlay zoning districts typically provide a higher level of regulation (more restrictive) than the base zoning classification, they can also permit exceptions or be less restrictive. In cases where conflicting standards are given by an overlay district and the base zoning, those of the overlay district typically control. This amendment will clarify the code intent. Amendment to 21.62.020(B) (Method of Notice Distribution) Prescribed methods of notice distribution include: publication in a newspaper of general circulation; mailing to affected property owner, local agencies, nearby property owners and residents, persons requesting notice, and the California Coastal Commission; and posting of a sign and notice. In lieu of mailed notice, Subsection 21.62.020(B)(4) authorizes the Director to choose alternative notice specified by State law. To eliminate ambiguity and provide clarification of the alternative afforded by State law, the amendment will clearly specify that the alternative is to publish a one-eighth page display advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation within the City. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach is scheduled to consider this item and make a recommendation to the City Council at a regular meeting to be held at 6:30 p.m. on May 21, 2020, at the City of Newport Beach Council Chambers, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
