The above referenced property is located within the Commercial General (CG)

Residential Detached (RS-D). For the abutting properties to the south, the Zoning

At the time the building permits were finaled, the building and parking requirements

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
