HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, July 21, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. or soon thereafter as the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Lido House Hotel Expansion – The Applicant requests to add 15,103 square feet to the previously approved 130-room Lido House Hotel. The additional floor area would allow for the construction of five new cottages (i.e., “rooms”), increased storage space, enlarged pre-function/breakout meeting rooms, a new greenhouse seating room, expansion of three existing hotel rooms, and an enclosed area on the
rooftop terrace. Also included is the demolition of the former Fire Station No. 2 building to create additional public and private parking spaces. To implement the project, the request requires the following approvals from the City of Newport Beach:
• General Plan Amendment – To amend Anomaly No. 85 to increase the development limit to 118,573 gross square feet;
• Local Coastal Program Amendment – To increase the development limit as described above;
• Zoning Code Amendment – To increase the development limit as described above;
• Site Development Review – To ensure the changes to the site are developed in accordance with applicable development standards;
and
• Conditional Use Permit – To allow the operational changes that result from the changed floor plan. If approved, a coastal development permit amendment will also be required from the California Coastal Commission since it was the original review authority for the Lido House Hotel project.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that all significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in a previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report for the Lido House Hotel (SCH#2013111022), and the City of Newport Beach intends to use said document for the above noted project. State CEQA Guidelines allow for the updating and use of a previously certified EIR for projects that have changed or are different from the previous project or conditions analyzed in the certified EIR. In cases where changes or additions occur with no new significant environmental impacts, an Addendum to a previously certified EIR may be prepared (CEQA Guidelines §15164).
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that the City has prepared Addendum No. 2 to the Lido House Hotel Final Environmental Impact Report for the modified project described above. It is the present intention to use the Addendum to potentially approve the modified project since no new environmental impacts and no impacts of greater severity would result from approval and implementation of the expanded and modified project. The City encourages members of the public to review and comment on this documentation. Copies of the previously prepared Final Environmental Impact Report and Addendum No. 1 for the Lido House Hotel and supporting documents are available for
public review and inspection are available for public review and inspection at the Planning Division or at the City of Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/ceqadocuments.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.64 (Appeals). The application may be continued to a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided.
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the Friday preceding the public hearing, and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/planningcommission.
