APN No: 423-123-05
Dear Ms King:
The above referenced property is currently located within the MU-W2 (Mixed-Use
Water) Zoning District and is designated as MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water) within the
Land Use Element of the General Plan. The property is not located within a
Planned Unit Development or an overlay district. However, the property is within
the Lido Village Design Guidelines. Excerpts from the Municipal Code and General
Plan are attached for your information.
For the abutting properties to the west, north, and south, the Zoning District is MU-
W2 (Mixed-Use Water) and the General Plan land use designation is MU-W2
(Mixed-Use Water 2). The property abuts the Newport Harbor to the east.
At the time building permits were finaled, the building requirements were in
substantial conformance with the development standards of the City of Newport
Beach Municipal Code. If the subject property does not comply with the current
regulations, it is nonconforming and is subject to Chapter 20.38 (Nonconforming
Uses and Structures) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Research of the permit and entitlement history of the property verifies that
discretionary approvals were acquired from the City of Newport Beach Planning
Division for development of the properties:

uses in which marine-related and visitor-serving land uses are mixed as provided in Table 2-10. A site
development review, in compliance with Section 20.52.080, shall be approved prior to any

activities are fully mitigated. Design of nonresidential space to facilitate marine-related uses is
encouraged.

which marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial and
residential dwelling units on the upper floors. (Ord. 2010-21 § 1 (Exh. A)(part), 2010)
