Re: City of Newport Beach Local Coastal Plan Amendment 1-20, LCPA-5-NPB-20-0025-1
(Cottage Preservation, Lido Isle Hedge Height Limits, and Accessory Dwelling Units)
Dear Mr. Murillo,
On April 13, 2020, the Commission received the above-cited LCP Amendment request.
The request proposes changes to certified language in both the Land Use Plan (LUP) and
Implementation Plan (IP) portions of the LCP.
Section 13553 of the California Code of Regulations states "[a]n amendment to a certified
LCP or LRDP together with all necessary attachments and exhibits shall be deemed
"submitted" after having been received and found by the executive director of the
Commission to be in proper order and legally adequate to comply with Public Resources
Code Section 30510(b). Said review shall be completed within a reasonable time, but
unless there are unusual circumstances, no later than ten (10) working days after the
date it is received in the Commission offices during normal working hours[ ... ]". Due to
staffing constraints related to COVID-19 restrictions, existing LCP workload, including
other Orange County cities LCP amendments, we have had to take additional time to
review this comprehensive LUP update submittal, and we greatly appreciate your patience
with this process. Although the LCP amendment request was well-organized, as of the
date ofthis letter, the amendment package has not been completely reviewed and
therefore, is not deemed complete or deemed filed.
Sincerely,
~/.~.~
