DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
The subject property is located in the R-2 Coastal Zoning District, which provides for
two-unit Use
Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal development permit is required and
the property is not eligible for a waiver for de minimis development because the
property is located in the Coastal Commission Appeal Area.
The property currently consists of one legal lot developed with a single-family
residence. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-
story, single-family and two-unit residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale
of the development is consistent with expected future development and is
consistent with applicable development standards and building code standards for
the VE Flood Zone.
Figure 1 Aerial of Surrounding Neighborhood
The proposed single-family dwelling and accessory structures conform to all
applicable development standards, including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and
off-street parking as evidenced by the project plans and illustrated in Table 1 below.

1. The project is exempt from the requirements of NBMC 20.48.180 because the lot is zoned R-2
and 25 feet wide. The maximum third floor area has been provided for reference purposes.
Hazards
The development fronts the public beach and is approximately 200 feet from the
mean high tide line. The property is not protected by bulkhead.
A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by GeoSoils,
Inc., dated June 13, 2020 for the project. The report concludes that the project will
be reasonably safe from wave overtopping and future sea level rise. The estimates
assume an approximate 2.9-foot increase from sea level rise over the next 75 years
(i.e. the life of the structure). The maximum water elevation is 7.7 NAVD88, therefore
the future sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.65 feet NAVD88 (the likely
range for sea level rise over 75-year design life of the structure based on low risk
aversion estimates for sea level rise provided by the State of California, Sea Level
Rise Guidance: 2018 Update). The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the
proposed structure is approximately 17.5 feet NAVD88, which complies with the
minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures and exceeds the
minimum requirements for future sea level rise (10.65 feet NAVD88).
The Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis also evaluates the
potential for shoreline erosion and wave attack at the site. The report concludes that
future wave runup will likely not reach the site under severely eroded beach
conditions and extreme storms. The report states that this section of Newport Beach
does experience short term erosion, but that the erosion is temporary and largely the
result of an energetic winter. The report concludes that the sandy beach in front of
the property is typically over 375 feet wide and has provided adequate protection for
the property over the last several decades. The proposed development will not need
shoreline protection over the life of the development.

Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the project would be reviewed for
compliance with building code and FEMA standards. The VE Flood Zone mapped
for the site requires a base flood elevation (BFE) of +15 feet NAVD88, and the City
requires an additional one foot of freeboard to the bottom of the lowest horizontal
structural member. Therefore, the project has been designed with a raised finished
floor of approximately 17.5 feet NAVD88. The residential structure is also required to
have a pile foundation. Therefore, although unlikely to occur at the project site over
the life of the development, the structure has been designed to withstand potential
wave overtopping in compliance with the FEMA VE Flood Zone standards.
Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Protective Structures), the
property owner will be required to enter into an agreement with the City waiving any
potential right to protection to address situations in the future in which the
development is threatened with damage or destruction by coastal hazards (e.g.,
waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The property owner will also be required to
acknowledge any hazards present at the site and unconditionally waive any claim to
damage or liability against the decision authority, consistent with NBMC Section
21.30.015(D)(3)(c) (Development Standards). Both requirements are included as
conditions of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to final building inspection,
and prior to the issuance of building permits, respectively.
The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code
(CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations
specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior
to the issuance of a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the
inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are
reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building
permit issuance.
Water Quality
The property is located within 200 feet of the mean high-water line. Pursuant to
Section 21.35.030 (Construction Pollution Prevention Plan) of the Municipal Code, a
Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) is required to implement temporary
Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and
sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived from
construction chemicals and materials. A CPPP has been provided and construction
plans and activities will be required to adhere to the CPPP.
Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan),
due to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development
containing more than 75 percent of impervious surface area, a preliminary Water
Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required. The preliminary WQHP has been
4
Soliman Residence (PA2020-262)
Zoning Administrator, February 25, 2021

Tmplt: 07/25/19
reviewed and approve
polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use
of an LID approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site, and
documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs. Construction
plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved WQHP prior to building
permit issuance.
Public Access and Views
The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public
Access/Recreation Impacts) requires that the provision of public access bear a
reasonable and be
proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces an existing single-family
residence located on standard R-2 lot with a new single-family residence. 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. Furthermore,
the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to
block or impede existing public access opportunities.
The project site is not located adjacent to a Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the
Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is on Newport Island and is
not visible from the site. The site is located adjacent to Seashore Drive, which serves
as lateral access and provides intermittent views of the beach where it intersects with
street ends. As currently developed, the existing property and other residences along
Seashore Drive impede views of the ocean from Seashore Drive and provide very
limited opportunities to see the beach through side yard setbacks. The subject lot is
located in the middle of the block, and existing views of the beach are available along
the 38th and 39th Street ends. The proposed project would not block any existing
views through the project site. Additionally, the proposed single-family residence
complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards
and maintains a building footprint consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern
of development.
The project site is located in the viewshed of the public beach, which is not a
designated viewpoint but provides scenic views of the ocean. The project will replace
an existing single-family home with a new single-family home that complies with all
applicable development standards. Although not required for the subject lot, the
size and location of third floors. The project proposes a third floor of 39 square feet
to accommodate a powder room, which is set back approximately 29 feet from the
rear setback and approximately 37 feet from the front setback. For comparison, the
n the third floor with a
minimum setback of 15 feet from the front and rear setback lines. The reduced size
5

and greater setbacks would minimize the appearance of bulk and scale from the
adjacent beach, neighboring properties, and street. The project would be constructed
with a finished floor that is approximately 5 feet above the existing beach elevation
and the overall height of the structure will appear higher than neighboring properties.
However, as the other 165 properties along the beach from 24th Street to 48th street
redevelop, they will also be required to comply with the VE Flood Zone construction
standards that necessitate raised foundations on caissons. 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.
The rear of the proposed residence, which is visible from Seashore Drive, includes
substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in-keeping with the design
guidelines of the NBMC, specifically Section 21.30.100 (Scenic and Visual Quality
Protection). As shown in Figure 2, the existing structure does not include architectural
treatment, with a solid building face, one window, and a garage door. There are no
elements that reduce scale. There are also visible signs of aging since original
construction in the 1950s. Although the proposed structure will appear taller as
viewed from the street, the upper levels have been setback and include areas of
visual interest. The design includes modulation of volume throughout the structure,
and increased front and rear setbacks beyond what is required by code. The project
railings that prevent the appearance of the site being walled off from the beach and
streets. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual
quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to existing public
views.

Vertical access to the beach is available at the 38th and 39th Street ends. Lateral
access is available on the beach in front of the property and along Seashore Drive to
the rear of the property. The project does not involve the removal or creation of
additional street parking spaces. The project design does not include any unique
features in the rear of the property that could obstruct access or create hazards for
the motorists or pedestrians on Seashore Drive. The first-floor garage is setback
approximately 9 feet from the property line, which would allow the residents additional
visibility to the bike path and street as they enter and exit the garage.
Any new encroachments within the Ocean Front Encroachment area would require
review and approval by Public Works Department and the California Coastal
Commission. No new encroachments on the beach are proposed as part of this
project.

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, 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 residential development standards
including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking.
a. The maximum floor area limitation is 2,774 square feet and the proposed floor area
is approximately 2,773.5 square feet.
b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 5
feet along the front property line abutting the beach, 4 feet along each side property
line and 0 feet along the rear property line abutting Seashore Drive.
c. The project includes garage parking for a total of two (2) vehicles, complying with
the minimum two (2)-car garage parking requirement for single-family residences
with less than 4,000 square feet of habitable floor area.
d. The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from established grade (17.5 feet
NAVD88) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from established grade,
which comply with the maximum height requirements. Pursuant to Section
21.30.060 (B), the minimum required top of slab elevation for interior living areas
of all new development within flood hazard areas shall be as established by the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps recognized by the Building Division as part of flood
safety requirements and maps adopted by the Council. The subject property is
located in the VE Flood Zone and the minimum top of slab elevation is required to
be a minimum of 17.5 feet NAVD88. Pursuant to 21.30.060 (B), the height of a
principal structure shall be measured from the top of slab elevation. Therefore, the
11
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-###
Page 3 of 10
02-03-2020
established grade for the subject property is 17.5 feet NAVD88, and the maximum
elevation allowed for a guardrail or flat roof is 41.5 feet NAVD88 and 46.5 feet
NAVD88 for a sloping roof (minimum 3:12 pitch).
2. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by GeoSoils, Inc.,
dated June 13, 2020 for the project. The report concludes that the project will be
reasonably safe from wave overtopping and future sea level rise. The estimates assume
an approximate 2.95-foot increase from sea level rise over the next 75 years (i.e. the life
of the structure). The maximum water elevation is 7.7 NAVD88, therefore the future sea
level is estimated to reach approximately 10.65 feet NAVD88 (the likely range for sea
level rise over 75-year design life of the structure based on low risk aversion estimates
for sea level rise provided by the State of California, Sea Level Rise Guidance: 2018
Update). The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is
approximately 17.5 feet NAVD88, which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88)
elevation standard for new structures and exceeds the minimum requirements for future
sea level rise (10.65 feet NAVD88).
3. The Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis also evaluates the potential
for shoreline erosion and wave attack at the site. The report concludes that future wave
runup will likely not reach the site under severely eroded beach conditions and extreme
storms. The report states that this section of Newport Beach does experience short term
erosion, but that the erosion is temporary and largely the result of an energetic winter.
The report concludes that the sandy beach in front of the property is typically over 375
feet wide and has provided adequate protection for the property over the last several
decades. The proposed development will not need shoreline protection over the life of
the development.
4. The project would be reviewed for compliance with building code and FEMA standards
prior to issuance of a building permit. The VE Flood Zone mapped at the site requires a
base flood elevation (BFE) of +15 feet NAVD88, and the City requires an additional one
(1) foot of freeboard to the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member. Therefore,
the project has been designed with a raised finished floor of approximately 17.5 feet
NAVD88. The residential structure is also required to have a pile foundation. Therefore,
although unlikely to occur at the project site over the life of the development, the
structure has been designed to withstand potential wave overtopping in compliance with
the FEMA VE Flood Zone standards.
5. Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Protective Structures), the property
owner will be required to enter into an agreement with the City waiving any potential right
to protection to address situations in the future in which the development is threatened with
damage or destruction by coastal hazards (e.g., waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The
property owner will also be required to acknowledge any hazards present at the site and
unconditionally waive any claim to damage or liability against the decision authority,
consistent with NBMC Section 21.30.015(D)(3)(c) (Development Standards). Both
requirements are included as conditions of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to
final building inspection, and prior to the issuance of building permits, respectively.
12

6. The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC)
and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically
addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of
building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation
identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with
approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit issuance.
7. The property is located on a wide beach, approximately 200 feet from the mean high tide
line. A Construction Erosion Control Plan was provided to implement temporary Best
Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation
and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived by construction chemicals
and materials. The project design also addresses water quality through the inclusion of a
post-construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation features
designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event runoff on-site. Any water not retained
on-site is directed
8. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan), due
to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing more
than 75 percent of impervious surface area, a Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP)
is required. A preliminary WQHP has been prepared for the project by Forkert Engineering
& Surveying Inc. The WQHP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization,
a sizing standard for BMPs, use of an LID approach to retain the design storm runoff
volume on site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.
9. Proposed landscaping complies with Implementation Plan Section 21.30.075
(Landscaping). A condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant
species. Prior to issuance of building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed
to verify invasive species are not planted.
10. The project site is not located adjacent to a Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal
Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is on Newport Island and is not visible from
the site. The site is located adjacent to Seashore Drive, which serves as lateral access and
provides intermittent views of the beach where it intersects with street ends. As currently
developed, the existing property and other residences along Seashore Drive impede views
of the ocean from Seashore Drive and provide very limited opportunities to see the beach
through side yard setbacks. The subject lot is located in the middle of the block, and
existing views of the beach are available along the 38th and 39th Street ends. The proposed
project would not block any existing views through the project site. Additionally, the
proposed single-family residence complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program
(LCP) development standards and maintains a building footprint consistent with the
existing neighborhood pattern of development.
11. The project site is located in the viewshed of the public beach, which is not a designated
viewpoint but provides scenic views of the ocean. The project will replace an existing
single-family home with a new single-family home that complies with all applicable
development standards. Although not required for the subject lot, the project also complies
with the Design Standards that restrict the size and location of third

floors. The project proposes a third floor of 39 square feet to accommodate a powder room,
which is set back approximately 29 feet from the rear setback and approximately 37 feet
from the front setback. For comparison, the 277
square feet on the third floor with a minimum setback of 15 feet from the front and rear
setback lines. The reduced size and greater setbacks would minimize the appearance of
bulk and scale from the adjacent beach, neighboring properties, and street. The project
would be constructed with a finished floor that is approximately 5 feet above the existing
beach elevation and the overall height of the structure will appear higher than neighboring
properties. However, as the other 165 properties along the beach from 24th Street to 48th
street redevelop, they will also be required to comply with the VE Flood Zone construction
standards that necessitate raised foundations on caissons. 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.
12. The rear of the proposed residence, which is visible from Seashore Drive, includes
substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in-keeping with the design
guidelines of the NBMC, specifically Section 21.30.100 (Scenic and Visual Quality
Protection). The existing structure does not include architectural treatment, with a solid
building face, one (1) window, and a garage door. There are no window treatments or
architectural features, nor does it include any see through elements that reduce scale.
There are also visible signs of aging since original construction in the 1950s. Although
the proposed structure will appear taller as viewed from the street, the upper levels have
been setback and include areas of visual interest. The design includes modulation of
volume throughout the structure, and increased front and rear setbacks beyond what is
required by code. The project design also includes low walls and
such as glass balcony railings that prevent the appearance of the site being walled off
from the beach and streets. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade
the visual quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to existing
public views.
Finding:
B. Conforms with 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.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access bear
a reasonable relationship between the requirement and th and be
proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces an existing single-family
residence located on standard R-2 lot with a new single-family residence. 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. Furthermore, the project
is located in the middle of the block, and designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks,
etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities.

2. Vertical access to the beach is available at the 38th and 39th Street ends. Lateral access
is available on the beach in front of the property and along Seashore Drive to the rear of
the property. The project does not involve the removal or creation of additional street
parking spaces. The project design does not include any unique features in the rear of
the property that could obstruct access or create hazards for the motorists or pedestrians
on Seashore Drive. The first-floor garage is setback approximately 9 feet from the
property line, which would allow the residents additional visibility to the bike path and
street as they enter and exit the garage.
3. Any new encroachments within the Ocean Front Encroachment area would require
review and approval by Public Works Department and the California Coastal
