Re: City of Newport Beach LCP Amendment Request No. LCP-5-NPB-20-0025-1, Part C
Dear Councilpersons:
You are hereby notified that the California Coastal Commission, at its May 11, 2022 meeting
certified, with suggested modifications, the City of Newport Beach LCP Amendment No. LCP-5-
NPB-20-0025-1, Part C.
LCP Amendment No. LCP-5-NPB-20-0025-1, Part C was submitted pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 2020-24. Part C of the amendment constitutes a major amendment to the IP
portion of the certified LCP as it was designed to bring the City’s accessory dwelling unit
(ADU) ordinance into conformity with the current State ADU laws and to include junior
accessory dwelling unit (JADU) uses in residential zones as well as ADU uses. On December
15, 2021, the Commission approved the amendment with suggested modifications. On March
8, 2022, the Newport Beach City Council approved the LCP amendment with all the
Commission’s suggested modifications. The Executive Director reviewed the County’s March
8, 2022 action, and determined that it is legally adequate to meet all of the Commission’s
conditional certification requirements. The Executive Director’s reported this determination to
the Coastal Commission at the Commission’s May meeting on May 11, 2022, where the
Commission unanimously concurred with the Executive Director’s determination. Thus,
pursuant to the Commission’s May 11, 2022 action, certification of the City of Newport Beach
LCP Amendment No. LCP-5-NPB-20-0025-1, Part C is complete.
On behalf of the Coastal Commission, I would like to congratulate the City on the completion
of this LCP amendment. We look forward to working with you and your staff in the future.
Sincerely,
Amrita Spencer
Coastal Program Analyst
