RESOLUTION NO. ZA2019-076
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. CD2019-041 TO REMOVE AN
EXISTING SINGLE-STORY MANUFACTURED HOME AND
INSTALL A NEW SINGLE-STORY MANUFACTURED HOME
LOCATED AT 283 CAMBRIDGE WAY (PA2019-159)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Steve Almquist (“Applicant”) on behalf of Bradley Barnes
(“Manufactured Home Owner”), with respect to a manufactured home site located at 283
Cambridge Way, requesting approval of a coastal development permit.
2. The site is located within Bayside Village Mobile Home Park, legally described as Parcel 2
of Resubdivision No. 0995.
3. The Applicant proposes the removal of an existing single-story manufactured home and
the installation of a new single-story manufactured home. The development also
includes a deck, hardscape and drainage. The development complies with all applicable
standards and no deviations are requested.
4. The subject property is designated Multiple-Unit Residential ("RM") by the General Plan
Land Use Element and is located within the Bayside Village Mobile Home Park Planned
Community ("PC-1") Zoning District.
5. The subject site is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is
Multiple-Unit Residential – 10.0 – 19.9 DU/AC (“RM-C”) and it is located within the Bayside
Village Mobile Home Park ("PC-1") Coastal Zone District.
6. A public hearing was held on November 14, 2019, in the Corona del Mar Conference
Room (Bay E-1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place
and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal
Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Zoning
Administrator at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations Section 15303, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Class 3 (New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures), because it has no potential to have a significant effect
on the environment.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-076

2. Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three single-family residences and additions of
up to 10,000 square feet to existing structures. The proposed project consists of the
removal of one single-family manufactured home and the installation of a new single-
family manufactured home.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Newport Beach Municipal Code (“NBMC”) Section 21.52.015 (Coastal
Development Permits, Findings and Decision), 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 development standards identified
by the PC-1 Development Plan and the proposed design is in substantial conformance
with the approved site plan.
a. The project is within the confines of the manufactured home site lines.
b. The project has been reviewed and approved by the Mobile Home Park Owner, as
evidenced by the Application for Permit to Construct included with the application.
c. The project includes a parking area for one vehicle, complying with the minimum
parking requirement per site.
2. The Bayside Village Mobile Home Park is predominantly developed with single- and
two-story, mobile/manufactured homes. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the
development is consistent with the existing pattern of development and expected future
development consistent with applicable development standards.
3. The Bayside Village Mobile Home Park is comprised of Parcel 1 (south) and Parcel 2
(north) of Parcel Map No. 93-111. The project site is centrally located within the south
parcel, surrounded by other homes, and more than 800 feet from the bay. The project site
is at an approximate elevation of 15 feet based on the North American Vertical Datum of
1988 (NAVD 88).
4. 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 and minor rain event run-off on-site. Any water not retained
on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-076

5. The building codes for construction and installation of a manufactured home are contained
within the California Health and Safety Code. The State of California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) issues all construction permits. The
applicant has provided evidence of approval from the State, as well as the Mobile Home
Park Owner.
Finding:
B. Conforms to 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, and
the existing residential development neither provides nor inhibits public coastal access.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation
Impacts) 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 single-family manufactured home within an existing
mobile/manufactured home park with a new single-family manufactured home. 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.
2. Bayside Drive bisects the north and south parcels of the Bayside Village Mobile Home
Park and provides access to the Newport Dunes, which houses several coastal
recreational opportunities for the public’s use.
3. The mobile/manufactured home park abuts Coast Highway, a public coastal view road.
The park is separated from the public right-of-way by an existing site wall that is
approximately 7 feet tall and provides for limited views across the park. An investigation of
the project site and surrounding area did not identify any other public view opportunities.
The project site may be located within the viewshed of distant public viewing areas.
However, the project will replace an existing single-family manufactured home with a new
single-family manufactured home that complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program
development standards and maintains a building envelope consistent with the existing
pattern of development. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the
visual quality of the coastal zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Coastal
Development Permit No. CD2019-041, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit “A,”
which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2019-076

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,
