HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, June 11, 2020, at 10:00 am 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 Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
English Residence Addition - A request for a modification permit to allow an addition to an existing single-
family residence with a garage that is considered legal nonconforming due to its interior dimensions. The existing garage provides the minimum required depth of 20 feet; however, the existing width is substandard at 17 feet whereas the requirement is 20 feet. The Modification Permit is necessary because the applicant
proposes to add more than 10 percent of the existing square footage without altering the garage for
compliance. The proposed addition is 690 square feet and results in a total of 2,338 square feet for the
residence (including the garage).
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15303, of the State CEQA (California Environmental
Quality Act) Guidelines - Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
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
are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.64. The application may be continued to a
specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided.
