grade).
• Revise floor area calculations and open volume to comply with City standards
(attached) versus HOA.
• Adjust measurement of building height to that of the proposed grade determination
(PA2022-0240).
• Provide a building section that demonstrates that 1) built-in table on rooftop deck

20.48.180 Residential Development Standards and Design Criteria.
A. Development Standards.
1. Applicability. The development standards in this subsection shall apply to all R-1, R-BI, R-2, and RM Zoning Districts Citywide,
except as provided below:
a. Exceptions. This subsection shall not apply to:
i. R-1-6,000, R-1-7,200, R-1-10,000, RMD, and RM-6000 Zoning Districts;
ii. Planned community zoning districts; or
iii. Residential developments consisting of three or more units on a lot in the RM Zoning District.
b. Limited Application. This subsection shall be limited in its application as follows:
i. For lots twenty-five (25) feet wide or less in the R-2 Zoning District, only subsection (A)(2)(c) of this section shall apply.
ii. For residential developments consisting of one or two units on a lot in the RM Zoning District, only subsections (A)(2)
(c) and (A)(3) of this section shall apply.
2. Third Floor Limitations.
a. Allowed Floor Area. The maximum gross floor area that may be located on a third floor shall not be greater than either of
the following:
i. Fifteen (15) percent of the total buildable area for lots wider than thirty (30) feet; or
ii. Twenty (20) percent of the total buildable area for lots thirty (30) feet wide or less.
On sloping lots, if the slope of the grade on which the structure is located is greater than five percent, subject to
Section 20.30.050(B)(3), the Director shall determine which story is the third story for the purpose of implementing this requirement.
For example, on a thirty (30) foot wide lot, if the total buildable area of the lot is two thousand five hundred fifty (2,550) square feet,
then the maximum square footage that may be located on the third floor is five hundred ten (510) square feet (two thousand five
hundred fifty (2,550) sq. ft. x twenty percent (20%) = five hundred ten (510) sq. ft.).
b. Allowed Combined Floor Area and Covered Deck Area. The combined total maximum gross floor area and covered deck
area that may be located on a third floor shall not be greater than fifty (50) percent of the total buildable area.
c. Location of Third Floor Structure. Enclosed floor area and covered deck area located on the third floor shall be set back a
minimum of fifteen (15) feet from the front and rear setback lines and for lots thirty (30) feet in width or greater a minimum of
two feet from each side setback line, including bay windows.
3. Open Volume Area Required.
a. Calculation. Open volume area shall be provided in addition to the required setback areas and shall be a minimum area
equal to fifteen (15) percent of the buildable area of the lot.
b. Location. The open volume area may be provided anywhere on the lot within the buildable area and below twenty-four (24)
feet from grade. The open air space volume may be provided on any level or combination of levels and may extend across the
entire structure or any portion thereof.
c. Minimum Dimensions. The open volume area shall meet the following standards:
2/13/23, 3:46 PM Chapter 20.48 STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES
https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/NewportBeach/#!/NewportBeach20/NewportBeach2048.html#20.48.180 2/2
i. Have a minimum dimension of at least five feet in depth from the wall plane on which it is located and a minimum clear
vertical dimension of at least seven and one-half feet; and
ii. Be open to the outdoors on at least one side.
B. Design Criteria.
1. Applicability. The design criteria provided in this subsection shall apply to all single-unit and two-unit residential buildings
Citywide. The following design criteria shall be used in determining a project’s consistency with the purpose of this Zoning Code and
with the policies of the General Plan related to architecture and site design. The criteria shall apply to all new single-unit and two-
unit residential buildings and additions thereto. Review of projects under this subsection is ministerial and shall occur concurrently
with the review of plans for building permit issuance.
2. Design Criteria.
a. Walls. Long, unarticulated exterior walls are discouraged on all structures. The visual massing of a building should be
reduced by incorporating appropriate design elements; including variation in the wall plane, building modulation, openings,
recesses, vertical elements, varied textures, and design accents (e.g., moldings, pilasters, etc.). Front facades shall include
windows.
b. Upper Floors. Portions of upper floors should be set back in order to scale down facades that face the street, common
open space, and adjacent residential structures. Upper story setbacks are recommended either as full-length “stepbacks” or
partial indentations for upper story balconies, decks, and/or aesthetic setbacks.
c. Architectural Treatment. Architectural treatment of all elevations visible from public places, including alleys, is encouraged.
Treatments may include window treatments, cornices, siding, eaves, and other architectural features.
d. Front Facade. Where the neighborhood pattern is for the primary entrance to face the street, the primary entry and
windows should be the dominant elements of the front facade. Primary entrances should face the street with a clear,
connecting path to the public sidewalk or street. Alternatively, entry elements may be visible from the street without the door
necessarily facing the street.
e. Main Entrance. The main dwelling entrance should be clearly articulated through the use of architectural detailing. (Ord.
