Subject: Coastal Development Permit Amendment Application to CD2019-024
for 365 Via Lido Soud, Newport Beach
Dear Mr. Campbell:
CAA Planning, Inc. (CAA) is pleased to submit this application on behalf of Jeffrey James Bethel
and Michele Marie Bethel, Trustees of the 2010 Bethel Family Trust, and Stephen John Ridge and
Shelley Marie Ridge, Trustees of the Stephen John Ridge and Shelley Marie Ridge AB Living
Trust (Applicants). The application and supporting materials request approval of an amendment to
Coastal Development Permit (CDP) CD2019-024. A CDP application fee in the amount of $2,309
is included with this application pursuant to the City of Newport Beach (City) Planning Division
Fee Schedule.
The City of Newport Beach approved CD2019-024 for the proposed demolition of an existing
4-unit residence and a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) to subdivide the property into two lots on
September 26, 2019. The CDP also allowed for modification to the minimum lot width and lot
area standards contained within the City’s LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP) consistent with
Section 21.52.090, Relief from Implementation Plan Development Standards. No construction was
proposed as part of CD2019-124. On October 29, 2019, the local government decision was
appealed by two California Coastal Commissioners. Since that time, CAA has worked closely with
City Staff and Coastal Commission Staff to address concerns raised in the appeal.
On December 15, 2020, CAA received direction from Coastal Commission Staff to amend the
previously approved CD2019-124 with the City to incorporate the proposed residential structures
into the CDP. The proposed project, which is described in more detail below, is a CDP amendment
to build two homes, each with a junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) located on the second level
with a separate exterior entrance, and each comprising a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a
bathroom. This amendment application identifies a finished floor level for the units of
approximately 12.8 feet, and provides adaptability measures to respond to sea level rise (SLR)
using the Commission’s guidance of the Medium-High Risk Aversion Scenario, High Emissions,
of 14.4 feet.
Our understanding from communication with Coastal staff is that this approach is supported by
the Commissioners, and after the CDP is amended to include plans for construction of the two new
dwelling units with JADUs, the California Coastal Commission will withdraw its appeal of the
project. The requested CDP amendment is consistent with IP Section 21.64.035.

“… In addition, in accordance with Code of Regulations Section 13573(b), there shall be
no requirement of exhaustion of local appeals when an appeal of a City decision is filed by
two members of the Coastal Commission in compliance with Public Resources Code
Section 30625. Notice of a Coastal Commissioners’ appeal shall be transmitted to the City
in compliance with Title 14 California Code of Regulations Section 13111(d). The Director
may transmit the Commissioners’ appeal to the local appellate body (which considers
appeals from the local body that rendered the final decisions subject to the Commissioner
appeal), and the Commissioners’ appeal may be suspended pending a decision on the
merits by that local appellate body. If the final action by an appellate body modifies or
reverses the previous decision, the Coastal Commissioners shall be required to file a new
appeal from that decision.”
The requested CDP amendment is submitted to address the issues raised in the Coastal
Commission appeal and an approval of the amended CDP would render the appeal moot; therefore,
not requiring any additional action on the part of the Coastal Commission. The attached Plans
depict the elevations and floor plans for the future development of the proposed residences, as well
as a Coastal Hazards Measures Plans and a topographic survey. A supplemental Coastal Hazards
Report for the two new residences with JADUs, dated December 17, 2020, was prepared by
GeoSoils, Inc. and is included as attached.
Demolition of the existing residences were contemplated as a part of the 2019 CDP approval. The
existing residence is a 2-story, 4-unit structure with an attached 6-car garage as shown on Plan
Sheet 2 of the attached Topographic Survey prepared by Craig S. Hampton, Incorporated. As
approved in 2019 by CD2019-124, the demolition will occur entirely on the landside, and no
waterside activity is proposed. The existing structure, the garage, and all on-site improvements
will be demolished, and the entire lot will be maintained for erosion and dust control.The
demolition of the existing structure and the garage are detailed on Sheet 1 of the Topographic
Survey, which identifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented during
demolition to avoid potential environmental impacts.
Erosion control and storm water pollution prevention measures are also shown on Sheet 1 of the
Topographic Survey and include gravel bags, street sweeping and vacuuming, storm drain inlet
protection, wind erosion control, and stockpile management. Both dry and wet season BMPs shall
be maintained in a functional condition throughout the duration of construction activity and are
identified below.
Project Description
The residences are proposed as 2-story structures approximately 3,000 square feet in area, and
each includes a junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU). Both residences will be built to a height
of 24 feet, which is within the City’s maximum height requirement and is in conformance with
City requirements for required setbacks and parking.

The residence at 365 Via Lido Soud is proposed as a 3,083-square-foot main dwelling unit with a
494-square-foot JADU on the second floor located over the garage. The residence at 361 Via Lido
Soud is proposed as a 3,045-square-foot main dwelling unit with a 479-square-foot JADU on the
second floor located over the garage. The JADUs that are proposed for the residences have been
designed with a bedroom, a bathroom, full kitchen facilities, and independent exterior access to
the units. No interior access to the main dwelling units is proposed.
In addition to adherence with the City’s Zoning Code and the General Plan, the proposed
residences will be safe from potential sea level rise through the year 2100. The finished floor level
of the residence is 12.8 feet, and with the implementation of SLR adaptation strategies, the
structures are safe from potential future coastal hazards up to 14.4 feet. The SLR adaptation
strategies provided on the Coastal Hazards Measures Plan for the proposed residences include
strategies such as waterproofing exterior siding with plywood over applied epoxy to waterproof
the exterior of the structure or using sandbags of 15 ml Visqueen plastic on the outside of the house
and installing water intrusion barricades at all door openings. These proposed measures would be
implemented as needed to protect the residences from future sea level rise as estimated by the
“Probabilistic 21st and 22nd Century Sea-Level Projections” of the High Emissions, Medium-High
Risk Aversion for the year 2100 (Kopp et al., 2014).
The construction of new residences would conform to the certified Local Coastal Program (LCP).
The project site is located within an established residential community that has been developed for
many years, and is not located near a public view, natural resources, or cultural resources, or in
proximity to environmentally sensitive areas. It is located within an area known for potential
seismic activity and will adhere to the California Building Code and Building Division standards
and policies in addition to all applicable safety regulations related to potential seismic events. In
addition, the proposed residences are consistent with the pattern of the existing surrounding
development, and City standards will be met for floor area, setbacks, height, and parking.
The proposed development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. The new residences will replace an existing multi-unit structure and
will not remove, block, or impede existing public access. The property is not located near coastal
view roads. 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 or degrade the quality of the
coastal zone and associated public views.
Conclusion
We appreciate the opportunity to work with City staff on the requested CDP amendment. Attached
hereto are draft findings in support of the CDP amendment. We look forward to the City’s
determination that the amendment application is complete and the earliest Zoning Administrator
action to approve an amendment to CD2019-124.
