Dear Brooke DeGraffenreid,
The above referenced property is comprised of four parcels. The 049-130-25 and
049-130-26 parcels are a portion of the parking lot for largest parcel (459-130-
022). The 049-130-23 parcel contains portions of the parking lot and commercial
building. Three parcels (049-130-22, 049-130-23, and 049-130-25) are located
within the Mixed-Use Water (MU-W1) Zoning District and are designated as Mixed-
Use Water 1 (MU-W1) within the Land Use Element of the General Plan, however
the portion of these parcels located on the water are not within any zoning district
or general plan designation. The 049-130-26 property is located within the
Commercial Recreational and Marine (CM) Zoning District and is designated
Recreational and Marine Commercial (CM) within the Land Use Element of the
General Plan. The properties are not located within a Planned Unit Development
or an overlay district.
For the abutting properties to the north, the Zoning District is CG (0.5 FAR)
(Commercial General), and the General Plan Land Use designation is CG (General
Commercial), respectively. The properties to the west are located in the PC38
(Hoag Hospital) and R-1 (Single-Unit Residential) Zoning Districts and the General
Plan Land Use designations are PI (Private Institutions) and RS-D (Single Unit
Residential Detached), respectively. The abutting properties to the east are located
in the MU-W1 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use

designation is MU-W1 (Mixed-Use Water 1). The subject property is also adjacent
to the Lido Channel waterway.
At the time the building permits were finaled, the building and parking requirements
were in substantial conformance with the development standards of the City of
Newport Beach Municipal Code. If the subject property does not comply with the
current regulations, it is considered to be nonconforming and is subject to Chapter
20.38 (Nonconforming Uses and Structures) of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code.
Research of the permit and entitlement history of the property verifies that
discretionary approvals were acquired from the City of Newport Beach Planning
Division primarily for development of 3333 West Coast Highway. Discretionary
approvals for the subject property are available at the following link:
