Dear Mr. Campbell:
On behalf of Thomas James Homes, CAA Planning submits this application for a Coastal
Development Permit for proposed demolition and replacement of an existing residence at 4014
Channel Place.
The subject property is developed with an existing 2-story residence that is located within the
Coastal Zone. The General Plan and Coastal Land Use designation is RT-D (two unit residential).
The zoning and coastal zoning district is R-2 (two unit residential). The subject site is located
between the Newport Harbor and the first public road, and it is not located within a categorical
exclusion zone.
The proposed project includes the demolition of an existing 2-story, 1,540 sf house with a 2-car
garage and construction of a new 3-story, 2,518 sf house with a 2-car, 376 sf garage. The proposed
residence would be a total of2,894 sf which is within the allowable maximum floor area of 3,065
for the property (1,532.8 sf building area x 2.0). The residence has been a front setback of 3 ft 9
in, minimum side setbacks of 3 ft and a rear setback of 20 ft 6 in. Front, side, and rear setbacks
have been designed in conformance with Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) development
standards.
The maximum height of the proposed residence is 29 ft, and per NBMC section 2.30.060 the slab
elevation will be built at 9.08 ft due to the residence being identified as located within a flood
hazard area. The maximum building height including the code compliant slab elevation is 38 ft 1
in. Architectural plans can be found on Sheets A0-1 -SC-1 and architectural detail can be found
on Sheet ADO 1-01 -AD 10-01 of the attached Plan Set.
The proposed residence also includes 521 sf of landscape and 602 sf of hardscape improvements.
Site grading will be performed in conformance with NBMC Chapter 15, and the driveway and
sidewalk will be constructed in conformance with City Standards 163 and 180. Grading, erosion
control, soils recommendations, a topographic survey can be found on Sheets C 1 -C6 and
landscaping plan can be found on Sheets L0.00 -L3.402 in the attached Plan Set.

Pursuant to IP Section 21.52.15 (F) (Findings and Decision), the review authority may approve or
conditionally approve a coastal development permit application, only after first finding that the
proposed development:
1. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program (e.g.
development standards, no impacts to public views, natural resources, etc.); and
The proposed project is the replacement of an existing residence within the R2 zoning
area. The residence has been designed in conformance with the NBMC and the certified
Local Coastal Program. The subject site is located in a densely development residential
area. There are no public views in the vicinity of proposed residence. The project
includes construction erosion control measures and best management practices. No
natural resource will be impacted.
2. 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.
The proposed project is the replacement of an existing single-family residence within
a residential zoning district. The subject site is located between the nearest public road
and shoreline. However, the residence will not interfere with public access or recreation
policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act because there is no public access or recreational
opportunities on the subject site since it is developed with an existing single-family
residence.
A bulkhead conditions report, coastal hazards report, geotechnical report, and structural
calculations were prepared and are included with this submittal. An application has been submitted
to California Coastal Commission for the repair of the existing seawall and for backyard
improvements that are within California Coastal Commission jurisdiction (approximately 10 ft
from the bulkhead).
We appreciate your consideration of the application. Please contact our office with any questions.
Sincerely,
CAA PLANNING
