NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Local
Coast Program Amendment No. LC2019-007, amending Setback Map No. S -1A — West
Newport in Section 21.80.040 (Setback Maps) of the NBMC for the residential property
located at 6501/6503 Seashore Drive, as set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 3: LCP Amendment No. LC2019-007 shall not become effective until

Page 4 of 5
Section 6: The City Council finds the introduction and adoption of LCP
Amendment No. LC2019-007 is exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15305 under Class 5 (Minor
Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a
significant effect on the environment. The Class 5 exemption applies to minor changes
in land use limitations, such as setbacks, provided the property has an average slope that
does not exceed 20 percent and the change does not result in a change to the permitted
land use or density. LCP Amendment No. LC2019-007 amends the setbacks on the
relatively flat site; but does not change the residential use. The maximum number of
dwelling units on the Property will not increase beyond the existing two units. Application
of all development standards including, but not limited to, height and parking, remain the
same with or without LCP Amendment No. LC2019-007, thus the allowable intensity of
development is not altered.
Section 7: Except as expressly modified in this ordinance, all other sections,
subsections, terms, clauses and phrases set forth in the NBMC shall remain unchanged
and shall be in full force and effect.
Section 8: 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 and the same shall become final and
effective upon the effective date of approval by the California Coastal Commission of
Local Coastal Program Amendment No. LC2019-007 and adoption, including any
modifications suggested by the California Coastal Commission, by resolution(s) and/or
ordinance(s) of the City Council.

LIST OF NEWPORT BEACH LUP POLICIES RELEVANT TO PROPOSED LCP AMENDMENT NO. LCP-5-NPB-0060-2, PART B (IP CLEAN-UP)
Coastal Bluff Setbacks
4.4.3-1. Require new planned communities to dedicate or preserve as open space the
coastal bluff face and an area inland from the edge of the coastal bluff adequate to provide safe public access and to avoid or minimize visual impacts.
4.4.3-2. Maintain approved bluff edge setbacks for the coastal bluffs within the planned
communities of Castaways, Eastbluff, Park Newport, Newporter North (Harbor Cove), and
Bayview Landing to ensure the preservation of scenic resources and geologic stability.
4.4.3-3. Require all new bluff top development located on a bluff subject to marine
erosion to be sited in accordance with the predominant line of existing development in the
subject area, but not less than 25 feet from the bluff edge. This requirement shall apply to the
principal structure and major accessory structures such as guesthouses and pools. The setback shall be increased where necessary to ensure safety and stability of the development.
4.4.3-4. On bluffs subject to marine erosion, require new accessory structures such as
decks, patios and walkways that do not require structural foundations to be sited in
accordance with the predominant line of existing development in the subject area, but not less than 10 feet from the bluff edge. Require accessory structures to be removed or
relocated landward when threatened by erosion, instability or other hazards.
4.4.3-5. Require all new bluff top development located on a bluff not subject to marine
erosion to be set back from the bluff edge in accordance with the predominant line of existing development in the subject area. This requirement shall apply to the principal structure and
major accessory structures such as guesthouses and pools. The setback shall be increased
where necessary to ensure safety and stability of the development.
4.4.3-6. On bluffs not subject to marine erosion, require new accessory structures such as decks, patios and walkways that do not require structural foundations, to be set back from the
bluff edge in accordance with the predominant line of existing accessory development.
Require accessory structures to be removed or relocated landward when threatened by
erosion, instability or other hazards. 4.4.3-7. Require all new development located on a bluff top to be setback from the bluff
edge a sufficient distance to ensure stability, ensure that it will not be endangered by erosion,
and to avoid the need for protective devices during the economic life of the structure (75
years). Such setbacks must take into consideration expected long-term bluff retreat over the
next 75 years, as well as slope stability. To assure stability, the development must maintain a minimum factor of safety of 1.5 against landsliding for the economic life of the structure.
4.4.3-8. Prohibit development on bluff faces, except private development on coastal bluff
faces along Ocean Boulevard, Carnation Avenue and Pacific Drive in Corona del Mar
determined to be consistent with the predominant line of existing development or public
Exhibit 3 LCP-5-NPB-20-0036-2
Part A and Part B Page 1 of 5
improvements providing public access, protecting coastal resources, or providing for public safety. Permit such improvements only when no feasible alternative exists and when
designed and constructed to minimize alteration of the bluff face, to not contribute to further
erosion of the bluff face, and to be visually compatible with the surrounding area to the
maximum extent feasible.
4.4.3-9. Where principal structures exist on coastal bluff faces along Ocean Boulevard,
Carnation Avenue and Pacific Drive in Corona del Mar, require all new development to be
sited in accordance with the predominant line of existing development in order to protect
public coastal views. Establish a predominant line of development for both principle
structures and accessory improvements. The setback shall be increased where necessary to ensure safety and stability of the development.
4.4.3-10. The coastal bluffs along Bayside Drive that have been cut and filled by the Irvine
Terrace and Promontory Point developments are no longer subject to marine erosion. New
development on these bluffs is subject to the setback restrictions established for bluff top development located on a bluff not subject to marine erosion.
4.4.3-11. Require applications for new development to include slope stability analyses and
erosion rate estimates provided by a licensed Certified Engineering Geologist or
Geotechnical Engineer.
2.8.7-3. Require applications for new development, where applicable [i.e., in areas of
known or potential geologic or seismic hazards], to include a geologic/soils/geotechnical
study that identifies any geologic hazards affecting the proposed project site, any necessary
mitigation measures, and contains a statement that the project site is suitable for the proposed development and that the development will be safe from geologic hazard. Require such
reports to be signed by a licensed Certified Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer
and subject to review and approval by the City.
2.8.7-4. Continue to regularly update building and fire codes to reflect the best available standards for seismic safety design.
4.4.3-12. Employ site design and construction techniques to minimize alteration of coastal
bluffs to the maximum extent feasible, such as:
A. Siting new development on the flattest area of the site, except when an alternative
location is more protective of coastal resources.
B. Utilizing existing driveways and building pads to the maximum extent feasible.
C. Clustering building sites.
D. Shared use of driveways. E. Designing buildings to conform to the natural contours of the site, and arranging
driveways and patio areas to be compatible with the slopes and building design.
F. Utilizing special foundations, such as stepped, split level, or cantilever designs.
G. Detaching parts of the development, such as a garage from a dwelling unit.

H. Requiring any altered slopes to blend into the natural contours of the site.
4.4.3-13. Require new development adjacent to the edge of coastal bluffs to incorporate
drainage improvements, irrigation systems, and/or native or drought-tolerant vegetation into
the design to minimize coastal bluff recession.
4.4.3-14. Require swimming pools located on bluff properties to incorporate leak
prevention and detection measures.
4.4.3-15. Design and site new development to minimize the removal of native vegetation,
preserve rock outcroppings, and protect coastal resources.
4.4.3-16. Design land divisions, including lot line adjustments, to minimize impacts to
coastal bluffs.
4.4.3-17. Identify and remove all unauthorized structures, including protective devices, fences, and stairways, which encroach into coastal bluffs.
Hazards and Protective Devices
2.8.1-1. Review all applications for new development to determine potential threats from
coastal and other hazards.
2.8.1-2. Design and site new development to avoid hazardous areas and minimize risks to
life and property from coastal and other hazards.
2.8.1-3 Design land divisions, including lot line adjustments, to avoid hazardous areas and minimize risks to life and property from coastal and other hazards.
2.8.1-4 Require new development to assure stability and structural integrity, and neither
create nor contribute significantly to erosion, geologic instability, or destruction of the site or
surrounding area or in any way require the4 construction of protective devices that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs and cliffs.
2.8.6-6. Design and site protective devices to minimize impacts to coastal resources,
minimize alteration of natural shoreline processes, provide for coastal access, minimize
visual impacts, and eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply.
2.8.6-8. Limit the use of protective devices to the minimum required to protect existing
development and prohibit their use to enlarge or expand areas for new development or for
new development. “Existing development” for purposes of this policy shall consist only of a
principle structure, e.g. residential dwelling, required garage, or second residential unit, and shall not include accessory or ancillary structures such as decks, patios, pools, tennis courts,
cabanas, stairs, landscaping etc.

would impede or restrict public access to beaches, trails or parklands, (including, but not
limited to, the posting of “no parking” signs, red curbing, and physical barriers), except
where such restrictions are needed to protect public safety and where no other feasible alternative exists to provide public safety.
2.9.3-7. If public parking restrictions are allowed to protect public safety, require new
development to provide an equivalent quantity of public parking nearby as mitigation for
impacts to coastal access and recreation, where feasible.
2.9.3-8. Continue to require properties with nonconforming parking to provide code-
required off-street parking when new uses, alterations or additions result in increased parking
demand.
2.9.3-9. Approve no application for a modification or waiver of off-street parking
requirements that are found to impact public parking available for coastal access.
2.9.3-10. Require new development to minimize curb cuts to protect on-street parking
