AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT NO. CA2020-001 TO AMEND TITLE
20 (PLANNING AND ZONING) OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT
BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE CORRECTING SETBACK MAP
ERRORS (PA2020-006)
WHEREAS, Section 200 of the Charter of the City of Newport Beach ("Charter")
vests the City Council with the authority to make and enforce all laws, rules and
regulations with respect to municipal affairs subject only to the restrictions and
limitations contained in the Charter and the State Constitution, and the power to
exercise, or act pursuant to any and all rights, powers, and privileges or procedures
granted or prescribed by any law of the State of California;
WHEREAS, both Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) ("Title 20") and Title 21 (Local
Coastal Program Implementation Plan) ("Title 21") of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code ("NBMC") incorporate a series of maps that provide minimum setbacks for
various, but not all, blocks throughout the City;
WHEREAS, the practice began in 1943 as a way to recognize existing and
varying conditions that did not match the citywide default front yard setback standard of
20 feet;
WHEREAS, the current setback maps are the descendants of the original 1943
maps (previously called districting maps), and several of them contain errors and
omissions that occurred when the districting maps were converted into the current
setback maps as part of the 2010 comprehensive update to Title 20 (Planning and
Zoning);
WHEREAS, in 2017, the California Coastal Commission certified Title 21 (Local
Coastal Program Implementation Plan), which incorporated the same setback maps for
properties located within the coastal zone;
WHEREAS, application of the incorrect setbacks results in development
standards that are inconsistent with the existing pattern of development and several
homes being considered nonconforming, which subjects these homes to additional
development regulations affecting additions and remodels and a loss of buildable area;
WHEREAS, an amendment to Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) is necessary to
correct identified errors to various setback maps ("Zoning Code Amendment");
Ordinance No. 2021-22
Page 2 of 4
WHEREAS, the Zoning Code Amendment serves to clarify the correct location
these setbacks are measured from, such as a vacated right-of-way line or bulkhead line,
to maintain the existing pattern of development on a block, to correct identified errors in
the setback maps and re-establish setbacks consistent with the original districting maps
and existing pattern of development;
WHEREAS, on April 23, 2019, the City Council initiated the Zoning Code
Amendment under Resolution No. 2019-41;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 22, 2021, in
the Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach; California. A
notice of time, place and purpose of the public hearing was given in accordance with the
California Government Code Section 54950 et seq. ("Ralph M. Brown Act") and Chapter
20.62 (Public Hearings) of the NBMC. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented
to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this public hearing;
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution No. PC2021-020 by a unanimous vote (4 ayes, 0 nayes) recommending to
the City Council approval of Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2020-001; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on October 12, 2021, in the
Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice
of time, place and purpose of the public hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph
M. Brown Act and Chapter 20.62 (Public Hearings) of the NBMC. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this public hearing.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council does hereby approve Zoning Code Amendment
No. CA2020-001 amending Setback Map Nos. SAA — West Newport, S -2A — Balboa
Peninsula, S -2E — Balboa Peninsula, S -2F — Balboa Peninsula, S -2G Balboa Peninsula,
S -5A — Newport Heights, S-6 — Cliff Haven / Bay Shores, S-8 — Harbor Island, S -10A —
Corona del Mar, S-1 OB — Corona del Mar, and S-1 OD — Corona del Mar contained within
NBMC Section 20.80.040 (Setback Maps) as set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Ordinance No. 2021-22
Page 3 of 4
Section 2: An amendment to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation
Plan) is also underway pursuant to Resolution 2021-97 to approve LCP Amendment
No. LC2020-001. Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2020-001 shall not apply to projects
located in the coastal zone for which Title 21 is applicable until approval of the LCP
Amendment No. LC2020-001 by the California Coastal Commission and adoption,
including any modification suggested by the California Coastal Commission, by
resolution and/or ordinance of the City Council.
Section 3: The recitals provided in this ordinance are true and correct and are
incorporated into the substantive portion of this ordinance.
Section 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 5: City Council finds the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is
not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), of Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations
("CEQA Guidelines") the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Zoning Code
Amendment corrects errors in setback maps that are inconsistent with historically
established setbacks and generally reflects setbacks that are consistent with existing
development on the affected lots. The Zoning Code Amendment does not authorize any
new development that would directly result in physical change to the environment.
Section 6: Except as expressly modified in this ordinance, all other sections,
subsections, terms, clauses and phrases set forth in the Newport Beach Municipal Code
shall remain unchanged and shall be in full force and effect.
Section 7: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage
of this ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance, or a summary thereof, to be
published pursuant to City Charter Section 414.
Ordinance No. 2021-22
