HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, November 19, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. or soon thereafter as the
matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive,
Newport Beach. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Elimination of an amortization period for nonconforming signs – Amendments to General Plan Policy
NR21.2, Coastal Land Use Plan Policy 4.4.4-4, and Sections 20.42.140 of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) and
21.30.065 of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC) to eliminate the existing amortization period for nonconforming signs, which currently requires all
nonconforming signs to be removed by October 27, 2020.
The project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment
and CEQA Guidelines Section 15265(a)(1) due to the fact it relates to an amendment to the Local Coastal
Program.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony in regard to this application. If you challenge this
project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written
correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures for appeals

specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not
be provided.
