HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, September 22, 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:
Nonconforming Code and LCP Amendments - The City is proposing amendments to the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) and Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan). The amendments include: 1) clarifying development allowances for residential uses that are nonconforming due to density; and 2) reinstating a side setback allowance for properties
in the R-1-6,000, R-1-7,200, R-1-10,000, R-2-6,000, and the RM-6,000 zoning and coastal zoning
districts. The side setback allowance would allow additions in line with the existing side setback of the principal structure regardless of the current minimum side setbacks standards.
The action proposed is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 21065 of CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378. The proposed action is also exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential to a have a significant effect on the environment.
The Amendments themselves do not authorize development that would directly result in physical change to the environment. Lastly, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15265(a)(1), local governments are exempt from the requirements of CEQA in connection with the adoption of a Local Coastal Program.
