RESOLUTION NO. PC2020-001
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. CD2019-021 AND VARIANCE NO.
VA2019-004 TO CONSTRUCT A SIX (6)-FOOT WALL IN A FRONT
SETBACK AREA LOCATED AT 24 HARBOR ISLAND (PA2019-
059)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by SoCal Land Co., LLC. ("Applicant") on behalf of SoCal Land
Co., LLC, a California limited liability company ("Owner"), with respect to the property
located at 24 Harbor Island, Newport Beach, California 92660 and legally described as
Lot 24 and 25 of Tract No. 802, in the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State
of California, as per map recorded in Book 24, Page 7 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the
Office of the County Recorder of Orange County, APN No. 050-230-40 ("Property").
2. The Applicant requests a coastal development permit to construct a 120-foot-long, six (6)-
foot-tall block wall along the southeasterly Property line and located within a side setback
area that is regulated as a front setback area for the purpose of regulating accessory
structures pursuant to Titles 20 (Planning and Zoning) and 21 (Local Coastal Program
Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municpal Code ("NBMC") because a site-
specific setback is identified on Setback Map No. S-8 ("Project"). As part of the Project, the
Applicant requests approval of a variance to waive or modify Sections 20.30.040 (Fences,
Hedges, Walls, and Retaining Walls) and 21.30.040 (Fences, Hedges, Walls, and
Retaining Walls) of the NBMC to allow an increase in height of a property line wall within
a side setback area that is regulated as a front setback area.
3. The Property is designated RS-D (Single Unit Residential Detached) by the General Plan
Land Use Element and is located within the R-1 (Single Unit Residential) Zoning District.
4. The Property is located within the coastal zone; therefore, the Project is reviewed for
compliance with Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC, and
a coastal development permit ("CDP") is required. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is
Single Unit Residential Detached -(0.0-5.9 DU/AC) ("RSD") and it is located within the
MU-V (Mixed Use Vertical) Coastal Zone District.
5. A public hearing was held on January 23, 2020, in the Council Chambers located at 100
Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the
public hearing was given in accordance with California Government Code Section 54950
et seq. ("Ralph M. Brown Act") and Chapters 20.62 and 21.62 of the NBMC. Evidence,
both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission
at this public hearing.
12-21-2017
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This Project is categorically 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,
Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the
environment.
2. The Class 3 exemption applies to accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages,
carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences. The Project is consistent with all
requirements of the Class 3 exemption, as it consists of a six (6)-foot wall accessory to
an existing single-family residence.
3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA
Guidelines are not applicable. The Project location does not impact an environmental
resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does
not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not
damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site,
and is not identified as a historical resource.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Variance
In accordance with Section 20.52.090(F) (Variances -Findings and Decision) of the NBMC,
the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. There are special or unique circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject
Property (e.g., location shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical
features) that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an identical
zoning classification.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located on Harbor Island, a private island in the Newport Harbor. The
side setback area along the southeasterly property line is regulated as a front setback
due to a private walkway easement that extends across this portion of the island. The
private walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and intended
to be developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only to
residents of Harbor Island.
2. There are three other properties under identical zoning classification that are affected
by the private easement (7, 8, and 26 Harbor Island). Each has been granted deviations
from the front setback development standard requirements along their side property
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 3 of 14
lines. All other lots on Harbor Island have side setback areas that allow for six (6)-foot
fences and walls.
3. The private walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and was
intended to be developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only
to residents of Harbor Island. According to the Harbor Island Homeowners' Association,
there is no intent to develop a walkway or roadway across Harbor Island, and the private
easement is therefore outdated and obsolete. Without the easement, the setback area
along the southeast property line would be regulated as a four (4)-foot side setback,
which allows for a six (6)-foot wall.
Finding:
B. Strict compliance with the Zoning Code (Title 20 of the NBMC) requirements would
deprive the subject Property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and
under identical zoning classification.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Strict compliance with the Zoning Code (Title 20 of the NBMC) deprives the Property of
the ability to construct a six (6)-foot property line wall along the side property line to
separate the Property from the adjacent neighbor at 26 Harbor Island. Without the
approval of the Variance, the Applicant would be deprived of privacy, security, and noise
abatement enjoyed by other properties on Harbor Island with typical side yard fences
and walls.
2. The required 11.5-foot side setback instead of the typical four (4)-foot side setback is a
result of an outdated private easement, originally intended to allow for the future
development of a private walkway or road that does not exist. There are three (3) other
properties under identical zoning classification that are also affected by the private
easement, including 7, 8, and 26 Harbor Island. Each of these properties has been
granted a deviation (variance or modification permit) from the front setback development
standards alongside property lines. All other properties on Harbor Island are under
identical zoning classification and are not affected by the private easement, and
therefore have side setbacks that allow for six (6)-foot walls.
Finding:
C. Granting of the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial
property rights of the Applicant.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. Without granting the Variance to increase wall height, the Applicant could not construct
a typical six (6)-foot side property line wall, consistent with what the development
regulations permit on other lots in the area because this side setback is regulated as a
front setback area. A six (6)-foot property line wall provides enhanced security, privacy,
Planning Commission Resolution No . PC2020-001
Page 4 of 14
and noise abatement over a 42-inch-tall wall. A typical side setback area allows
fences/walls up to six (6) feet in height. In this case , an outdated private easement ,
originally intended to allow for the construction of a private walkway or road, has resulted
in a side setback area that is regulated as a front setback . This setback area therefore
only allows fences/walls up to 42 inches in height.
Finding :
0 . Granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with
the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and in the same zoning district .
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. Approval of the Variance request allows the Applicant to develop a six (6)-foot property
line wall in the setback area along a side property line , which is regulated as a front
setback due to an obsolete private easement. This is not a granting of special privilege
as the majority of lots on Harbor Island are not affected by this easement and are
therefore allowed to construct property line fences/walls in side setback areas up to six
(6) feet in height. There are three (3) other properties under identical zoning
classification that are also affected by the private easement (7, 8, and 26 Harbor Island).
Each of these properties has been granted a deviation (variance or modification permit)
from the resulting front setback area regulations .
Finding :
E. Granting of the Variance will not be detrimental to the harmonious and orderly growth of
the City, nor endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public
convenience, health , interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working
in the neighborhood.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The increased wall height within the setback area along the side property line will not
appear out of character with the neighborhood and will not be a noticeable deviation to
passersby allowed on the private island . The majority of properties on Harbor Island
include similar property line walls within the side setback areas . The Project will be
consistent with typically allowable and constructed development on other lots in the
surrounding area .
2 . The design proposes the wall encroach only two (2) feet , six (6) inches (2'6") into the
side setback area along the main access driveway at the inland 50 feet of the Property ,
which provides a vehicle turnaround area and therefore preserves adequate vehicle
maneuverability on Harbor Island .
Finding:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 5 of 14
F. Granting of the Variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose of this section,
this Zoning Code, the General Plan, or any applicable specific plan.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Granting the Variance request would not increase the density beyond what is planned
for the area, and will not result in increased traffic, demand on public parking, or demand
for other services.
2. The increase in wall height within the front setback area along the side property line
allows for privacy, security, and noise abatement, consistent with what is allowed for
other developments within the R-1 (Single Unit Residential) Zoning District.
3. The Property is not located within a specific plan area, therefore, no additional findings
of conformity with a specific plan are required
Coastal Development Permit
In accordance with Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and
Decision) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
G. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program (LCP).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Project is accessory to a single-family residential development that complies with
applicable residential development standards including, but not limited to, floor area
ratios, setbacks, height, open space, and parking.
2. The proposed deviation to the wall height in the front setback area allows for a
development that is similar and compatible in design, bulk and scale of the existing
neighborhood pattern of development and expected future development. The maximum
six (6)-foot wall height granted by the Variance is consistent with wall heights in side
setback areas throughout Harbor Island.
3. The Project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any
body of water located within the coastal zone. The existing residential lot does not
currently provide nor inhibit coastal access. The Property is located on a private island
which does not provide coastal access, which will remain unchanged with the
construction of a six (6)-foot property line wall.
Planning Commission Resolution No . PC2020-001
Page 6 of 14
4 . The Project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road , public access way , or
coastal viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use plan. The nearest coastal
viewpoint is located at the end of Harbor Island Drive and is not visible from the site.
The proposed six (6)-foot wall is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development , which permits six (6)-foot walls within side setback areas. The Project
complies with the 15-foot front setback along the harbor , which only allows
improvements with a maximum height of 42 inches . Additionally , the Project does not
contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone .
The Project is visible from the interior of Harbor Island or from the harbor, however there
are no existing views through the island from the harbor because of the existing homes
and accessory residential structures already developed on the island .
5 . The Project is accessory to a single -family residence , which was approved by Coastal
Development Permit No . 5-16 -0054 , approved by the California Coastal Commission on
September 13 , 2017 . This coastal development permit requires landscaping with
drought-tolerant , non-invasive plants , conformance with a drainage and runoff control
plan , and acknowledgement of coastal hazards .
Finding :
H. 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 Property is located on Harbor Island between the nearest public road and the sea.
Sect ion 21 .30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC
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 increases the height of a property line wall from 42 inches to six (6) feet. Therefore ,
the Project does not involve a change in land use , density or intensity that will result in an
increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore , the Project
will not block or impede existing public access opportunities.
2 . Vertical access to the harbor is available at the Balboa Basin , approximately 2 ,000 feet
east of the property . Vertical and lateral access to the beach and harbor is also available
at street ends throughout Balboa Island , approximately 1,300 feet southeast of the
Property . The Project does not include any features that would obstruct access along
these routes .
Variance
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 7 of 14
In accordance with Section 21.52.090 (Relief from Implementation Plan Development
Standards) of the NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set
forth:
Finding:
I. The Planning Commission has considered the following:
a. Whether or not the development is consistent with the certified Local Coastal
Program to the maximum extent feasible; and
b. Whether or not there are feasible alternatives that would provide greater consistency
with the certified Local Coastal Program and/or that are more protective of coastal
resources.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Granting of a Variance will allow a six (6)-foot wall in a setback area along a side property
line, which is regulated as a front setback and will result in setback regulation and
property line wall height similar to properties in the surrounding area and throughout
Harbor Island.
2. The six (6)-foot wall along the side property line is necessary in order to provide
adequate privacy and security for the single-family residence on the Property. The
design proposes the wall encroach only two (2) feet, six (6) inches (2'6") into the setback
area at the inland 50 feet of the Property, which provides a vehicle turnaround area and
therefore preserves adequate vehicle maneuverability on Harbor Island.
3. While the Project is requesting a Variance for wall height within a front setback area
along a side property line, the residential development on the Property complies with all
other applicable development standards including, but not limited to, setbacks, floor area
limit, height limitation, and parking requirements and was previously approved by
Coastal Development Permit No. 5-16-0054.
4. Disapproval of the Variance could result in lack of privacy and security for the single-
family residence on the Property that other properties located on Harbor Island are
granted. The proposed six (6)-foot-high wall is the typical height allowed by Title 21
(Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) for property line walls and fences.
5. The Project does not extend into the front setback area adjacent to the tidelands and
the harbor and is therefore protective of the tideland and other coastal resources.
Finding:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 8 of 14
J. The granting of the Variance is necessary due to the practical difficulties associated with
the Property and that the strict application of the Implementation Plan results in physical
hardships.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located on Harbor Island, a private island in the Newport Harbor. The
setback area along the southeasterly property line is regulated as a front setback due
to a private walkway easement that extends across this portion of the island. The private
walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and intended to be
developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only to residents of
Harbor Island.
2. The private walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and was
intended to be developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only
to residents of Harbor Island. According to the Harbor Island Homeowners' Association,
there is no intent to develop a walkway or roadway across Harbor Island, and the private
easement is therefore outdated and obsolete. Without the easement, the setback area
along the southeast property line would be regulated as a four (4)-foot side setback,
which allows for a six (6)-foot wall.
Finding:
K. The granting of the Variance is necessary due to special circumstances applicable to
the Property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, and/or other
physical features, the strict application of the development standards otherwise
applicable to the property denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property
owners in the vicinity and in the same coastal zoning district.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located on Harbor Island, a private island in the Newport Harbor. The
setback area along the southeasterly property line is regulated as a front setback due
to private walkway easement that extends across this portion of the island. The private
walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and intended to be
developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only to residents of
Harbor Island.
2. There are three (3) other properties under identical zoning classification that are affected
by the private easement, including 7, 8, and 26 Harbor Island. Each has been granted
deviations from the front setback development standards alongside property lines. All
other lots on Harbor Island have typical side setback areas that allow for six (6)-foot
fences and walls.
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001

3. The private walkway easement was created in 1926 as part of Tract Map 802 and was
intended to be developed with a private walkway or road that would be accessible only
to residents of Harbor Island. According to the Harbor Island Homeowners' Association,
there is no intent to develop a walkway or roadway across Harbor Island, and the private
easement is therefore outdated and obsolete. Without the easement, the setback area
along the southeast property line would be regulated as a four (4)-foot side setback,
which allows for a six (6)-foot wall.
Finding:
L. The Variance complies with the findings required to approval a coastal development
permit in Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits-Findings and Decision)
of the NBMC.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Facts in Support of Findings "G" and "H" above are hereby incorporated by reference.
Finding:
M. The Variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impedes public
access to and along the sea or shoreline and to coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Property does not currently provide access to the sea or shoreline, nor does it
provide access to any coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs.
Finding:
N. The Variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impairs public
views to and along the sea or shoreline or to coastal bluffs and other scenic coastal
areas.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or
coastal viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal
viewpoint is located at the end of Harbor Island Drive and is not visible from the site.
The proposed six (6)-foot wall is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development, which permits six (6)-foot walls within side setback areas. The Project
complies with the 15-foot front setback along the harbor, which only allows
improvements with a maximum height of 42 inches. Additionally, the Project does not
contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone.
The Project is visible from the interior of Harbor Island or from the harbor, however there
are no existing views through the island from the harbor because of the existing homes
and accessory residential structures already developed on the island.
Finding:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 10 of 14
0. The Variance will not result in development that has an adverse effect, either individually
or cumulatively, on coastal resources, including wetlands, sensitive habitat, vegetation
or wildlife species.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located adjacent to the harbor and County tidelands. The Project does
not extend into the front setback area adjacent to the tidelands and the harbor and is
therefore protective of the tideland and other coastal resources.
Finding:
P. The granting of the Variance will not be contrary to, or in conflict with, the purpose of
this Implementation Plan, nor to the applicable policies of the Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Facts in Support of Finding "I" above are hereby incorporated by reference.

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
nesting season from February 1 to August 15, compliance with the following is required
to prevent the taking of Native Birds pursuant to the MBT A:
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2020-001
Page 13 of 14
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. The Project is subject to all applicable City ordinances, policies, and standards, unless
specifically waived or modified by the conditions of approval.
10. The Applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Material violation of
