DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
The subject property is located in the R-1 Coastal Zoning District, which provides for
single-
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 a single-family residence over two lots (Lot 501
and Lot 502) as 520 Via Lido Nord. A sperate Coastal Development Permit is in
process for the demolition of the existing single-family dwelling and Lot 501 is being
merged with Lot 500 for a separate single-family development (PA2021-183). The
neighborhood is predominantly developed with one- and two-story, single-family
residences, as evidenced in Figure 1. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the
development is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development
and expected future development is consistent with applicable development
standards.

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.

Hazards
A Coastal Hazards Report, Sea Level Rise Analysis and Bulkhead Conditions Report
was prepared by PMA Consulting, Inc. dated July 26, 2021, for the project. The
current maximum bay water elevation is 7.7 feet (NAVD88) and the existing bulkhead
is 8.83 feet (NAVD88). The report analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming
a 3.0-foot increase in the maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of
the structure). Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.90 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 project includes reinforcing
and raising the existing seawall to 11.19 feet (NAVD88) with an adaptability elevation
of 14.4 feet (NAVD88). This is above the minimum required 10.9 feet (NAVD88).
Flooding, wave runup, and erosion will not significantly impact this property over the
proposed 75-year economic life of the development. Flood shields (sandbags and
other barriers) can be deployed across the openings to protect and prevent flooding
to the structure. The report concludes that the proposed project will be reasonably
safe from flooding hazards for the next 75 years.
On March 23, 2021, the City Council approved updated Waterfront Project Design
Guidelines and Standards, Harbor Design Criteria Commercial & Residential
Facilities. The guidelines require that any structure permitted within the years 2021
through 2025 have a minimum elevation of 10.9 feet (NAVD88) with a design for
adaptability elevation of 14.4 feet (NAVD88). The project includes a bulkhead at
12.44 feet (NAVD88). The bulkhead is designed for adaptability up to 14.4 feet
(NAVD88) if needed and in compliance with the updated guidelines.

The finished floor elevation of the proposed single-family residence is 12.61 feet
(NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD88) elevation
standard. The Coastal Hazards Report concludes that the bay water elevation will
not exceed the proposed finished floor for the anticipated 75-year life of the structure.
Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv)
(Natural Landform and Shoreline Protection - Development Standards), 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) (General Site Planning and Development Standards -
Waterfront Development). 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 adjacent to coastal waters. 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.
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
Management Plan (WQMP) is required. A preliminary WQMP was prepared on July
27, 2021 for the project by Toal Engineering, Inc. The WQMP includes a polluted
runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of an Low
Impact Development (LID) approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site,
and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.

Public Access and Views
The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or
Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal
viewpoint is across the bay at Kings Road Park and is not visible from the site. As
currently developed, the existing property and other residences along the bay and
Via Lido Nord are located within the view shed of the park and bay. However, the
proposed single-family residence complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program
(LCP) development standards and maintains a building envelope consistent with the
existing neighborhood pattern of development. Additionally, the project does not
contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone
The front of the residence, which is visible from the bay, provides a large setback of
44 feet where the required setback is 10 feet. The proposed residence includes two
stories and reaches a maximum height of 24 feet, where three stories and a
maximum height of 29 feet is allowed per the NBMC. Lastly, the design includes
modulation of volume throughout the structure and low front site walls that prevent
the appearance of the site being walled off from the bay. 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.
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
proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces an existing single-family
residence located on standard residential 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.
Vertical and lateral access to the bay and beach is available 455 feet northwest of
the property at Genoa Park, which is the terminus of Via Genoa. Lateral access is
available along the beach in front of Genoa Park. Additional vertical access points to
the water are located at the terminus of Via Orvieto. The project does not include any
features that would obstruct access along these routes.

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 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation
Impacts) requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship
and be proportional to the impact. In this
case, the project replaces an existing single-family residence located on standard
residential lot with a new single-family residence. The lot is zoned for multi-family, but the
existing development is single family. 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.
2. Vertical and lateral access to the bay and beach is available 455 feet northwest of the
property at Genoa Park, which is the terminus of Via Genoa. Lateral access is available
along the beach in front of Genoa Park. Additional vertical access points to the water are
located at the terminus of Via Orvieto. The project does not include any features that would
obstruct access along these routes.

from a nest or sitting on a nest, it can be assumed that the nest is active. Construction
activity within 300 feet of an active nest shall be delayed until the nest is no longer
active. Continue to observe the nest until the chicks have left the nest and activity is no
longer observed. When the nest is no longer active, construction activity can continue
in the nest area.
B. It is a violation of state and federal law to kill or harm a native bird. To ensure
compliance, consider hiring a biologist to assist with the survey for nesting birds, and
to determine when it is safe to commence construction activities. If an active nest is
found, one (1) or two (2) short follow-up surveys will be necessary to check on the nest
and determine when the nest is no longer active.
13. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Good Housekeeping Practices (GHPs) shall
be implemented prior to and throughout the duration of construction activity as
designated in the Construction Erosion Control Plan.
14. The discharge of any hazardous materials into storm sewer systems or receiving waters
shall be prohibited. Machinery and equipment shall be maintained and washed in
confined areas specifically designed to control runoff. A designated fueling and vehicle
maintenance area with appropriate berms and protection to prevent spillage shall be
provided as far away from storm drain systems or receiving waters as possible.
15. Debris from demolition shall be removed from work areas each day and removed from
the project site within 24 hours of the completion of the project. Stockpiles and
construction materials shall be covered, enclosed on all sites, not stored in contact with
the soil, and located as far away as possible from drain inlets and any waterway.

18. The project is subject to all applicable City ordinances, policies, and standards, unless
specifically waived or modified by the conditions of approval.
19. The applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Material violation of

Zoning Administrator - November 24, 2021
Item No. 5a Additional Materials Received Inter-Pro Property Corporation Residence Coastal Development Permit_(PA2021-215)
November 24, 2021, Zoning Administrator Agenda Comments
Comments submitted by: Jim Mosher ( jimmosher@yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach
92660 (949-548-6229)
Item 5. Inter-Pro Property Corporation Residence Coastal
Development Permit No. CD2021-056 (PA2021-215)
See comments on the related Item 4.
Handwritten page 1, title block: “APPLICANT: Anne Fox, MIC, Inc.” [Per handwritten page 8
(see below, and Item 4) that should read “MIG”?]
Handwritten page 8, paragraph 1.1: “An application was filed by Anne Fox, MIG, Inc., with
respect to property located at 522 Via Lido Nord, requesting approval of a coastal development
permit.” [The reference to “522 Via Lido Nord” here, and in the resolution title and in paragraph
1.2, is confusing since no such address currently exists, and presumably would not exist without
approval of Item 4 on the present agenda – with an explanation not provided until the end of
paragraph 1.3. The staff report strongly implies that although there is an existing structure
sharing lots 501 and 502 they were never merged and hence do not need to be split.]
Handwritten page 8, paragraph 3.A.1.c: “The highest guardrail and ridge are less than 24 feet
from established grade (12.79 feet NAVD88), which complies with the maximum height
requirements.” [Does this approval rely on the grade establishment in Item 4 (if not for this, for
bayfront accessories)? Also paragraph 5 on handwritten page 10 says “the finished floor
elevation of the proposed single-family residence is 12.61 feet.” Is the finished floor below the
established grade?]
Handwritten page 10, paragraphs 3 and 4: These seem mostly the same.
Handwritten pages 10-11, paragraph 7: “Geotechnical investigations specifically addressing
liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of building permits.”
[This does not seem to be repeated as a condition of approval. Does it need to be?]
Handwritten page 11, paragraph 9: “The WQMP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site
characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of an a Low Impact Development (LID)
approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site, and documentation of the expected
effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.”
Handwritten page 12, paragraph B.1: “The lot is zoned for multi-family, but the existing
development is single family.” [?? This does not match the earlier description of the site or the
title page of the staff report.]
Handwritten page 12, paragraph B.2: “Vertical and lateral access to the bay and beach is
available 455 feet northwest of the property at Genoa Park, which is the terminus of Via
Genoa. Lateral access is available along the beach in front of Genoa Park.” [The resolution for
Item 4 says “Vertical and lateral access to the bay and beach is available 280 feet northwest of
the property at the terminus of Via Koron, where there is access to the beach along the bay.”
Why do they differ?]
Zoning Administrator - November 24, 2021 Item No. 5b Additional Materials Received After Deadline Inter-Pro Property Corporation Residence Coastal Development Permit_(PA2021-215)
November 24, 2021, ZA agenda Item 5 comments - Jim Mosher Page 2 of 2
Handwritten page 14, Condition of Approval 7: “Implementation shall be in compliance with the
approved CPPP and WQHP/WQMP and any changes could require separate review and
approval by the Building Division.” [“WQHP” apparently stands for “Water Quality and Hydrology
Plan” per paragraph 9 on handwritten page 11, and is redundant with “WQMP.” But what is a
“CPPP”?]
Handwritten page 14, Condition of Approval 20: “This Coastal Development Permit may be
modified or revoked by the Zoning Administrator if it is determined that the proposed uses or
conditions under which it is being operated or maintained is are detrimental to the public health,
welfare or materially injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity or if the property is
operated or maintained so as to constitute a public nuisance.”
Handwritten page 14, Condition of Approval 22: “Prior to the issuance of building permit
permits, the applicant shall pay any unpaid administrative costs associated with the processing
of this application to the Planning Division.”
Handwritten page 28: The arrow to the “Project site” in the inset in the lower right (pointing to a
lot in the Lido Village area) has no obvious relation to the project site on “Lido Island” (“Lido Isle”
according to Tract Map No. 907) described in the staff report.
