The ADU would be detached from the primary multi-family structure and elevated above a new two (2)-space carport. The new two (2)-space covered carport would replace two (2) existing uncovered parking spaces. The existing four (4)-car garage would also be converted to four (4) open carport spaces and one (1) additional tandem parking space would be added on-site. A Modification Permit is also requested to reduce the required parking space dimensions of the new two (2)-space carport from 20 feet deep by 20 feet wide to 20 feet deep by 18 feet wide (i.e. two (2) feet narrower). No other changes to the existing multi-family structure are proposed. RECOMMENDATION 1)Conduct a public hearing; 2)Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and 1 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 2 3) Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Coastal Development Permit and Modification Permit filed as PA2022-088 (Attachment No. ZA 1). DISCUSSION Land Use and Development Standards • The subject property is in the R-2 Coastal Zoning District, which provides for single- and two-unit residential development and is consistent with the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal development permit is required, and the property is not eligible for a waiver for de minimis development because the property is in the Coastal Commission Appeal Area. The property is located within the Categorical Exclusion Area and is greater than 300 feet from the water, however, the existing underlying development is legal non-conforming due to density and parking. Therefore, a CDP is required. Lastly, a CDP for an ADU does not require a public hearing, however, the request for the Modification Permit requires a public hearing. • A prior iteration of the project that included two ADUs and no replacement parking was reviewed by the Zoning Administrator in November of 2022, however, no action was taken on the application due parking concerns. The Applicant subsequently revised their design to include only one ADU with two-car replacement parking below. The revised design also includes conversion of the existing 4-space garage into carports and the addition of one tandem parking space. Written public comments on the prior design are included in this staff report for reference as Attachment ZA 3. The previously submitted comments are primarily related to concerns regarding short term lodging and parking. As redesigned, the proposed project results in one additional parking space on site for the ADU and the required deed restriction precludes the ADU from being rented for a period 30-days or less. • The property currently consists of two legal lots developed with a multi-unit structure consisting of 7 dwelling units and two (2) attached two (2)-car garages. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with one- and two-story multi-unit residences. There are several multi-unit residential structures along West Balboa Boulevard, which are primarily one to two stories. Of the 11 properties in the block, 9 are multi-unit structures containing more than two dwelling units. The largest development includes 8 units, with the bulk of properties including 3 to 4 units. The properties behind the subject site are primarily duplexes and single-unit dwellings that consist of mainly two stories with a few one- and three-story structures. The proposed ADU is on the second story and would reach approximately 17 feet, where the existing multi-unit structure on site is approximately 20 feet. The proposed ADU’s design, bulk, and 2-story scale are consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development. 2 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 3 • The proposed ADU conforms to all applicable development standards, including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and off-street parking as evidenced by the project plans and illustrated in Table 1 below. Table 1 – ADU Development Standards Development Standard Standard Proposed Number of ADUs Allowed 2 Detached ADUs 1 Detached ADU Setbacks (min.) Front 5 feet >32 feet Sides 4 feet 4 feet Rear 0 feet 3 feet 5 inches Allowable Floor Area for Property (max.) 10,320 square feet 5,949 square feet Allowable Floor Area for ADU (max.) 850 square feet 386 square feet Parking (min.) 1-space for ADU Replacement parking for any displaced spaces 1-space for ADU Replacement parking for two displaced spaces provided Height (max.) 18-feet1 17-feet 1 California State Law and Title 20 allow the detached ADU to reach 18 feet maximum. Updates to Title 21 are in process with the California Coastal Commission, including an allowance for detached ADUs to reach 18 feet maximum. Based on direction received from California Coastal Commission staff, since State Law governing ADUs allows detached ADUs to reach 18 feet, the 18-foot height limit shall apply provided there are no impacts to coastal resources. Water Quality and Hazards • The property is located within 270 feet of coastal waters. A construction erosion control plan was provided to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived by construction chemicals and materials. The project design also addresses water quality through the inclusion of a post-construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event runoff on-site. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system. • The development is located on an inland property in a developed area approximately 270 feet from the bay. The project site is separated from the bay (the nearest body of water) by two rows of residential development and the West Bay Avenue right-of- way. The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is approximately 18 feet based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures. The identified distances from the coastal hazard areas coupled 3 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 4 with the higher finished floor elevation will help to ensure the project is reasonably safe for the economic life of the structure. • The property is in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved before the issuance of a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC before building permit issuance. Public Access and Views • The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is at Marina Park and is not visible from the site. The proposed ADU is located at the rear of the site along the alley and would not be visible from West Balboa Boulevard or 12th Street, as the existing multi-family structure obstructs views. Furthermore, the proposed ADU complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and maintains a height and setback consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development. Additionally, the project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone. Lastly, the proposed ADU is approximately 2 feet lower than the existing roof of the multi-unit structure and the gross floor area would be approximately 60 percent of what is allowed by the NBMC. • The project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone. The proposed ADU is approximately 2 feet lower than the existing roof of the multi-unit structure and the gross floor area would be approximately 60 percent of what is allowed by the NBMC, reducing the bulk and scale of the 386-square foot ADU. Although recent revisions to the ADU development standards have been adopted in Title 20 of the NBMC, the corresponding updates in Title 21 are in process with the California Coastal Commission, including an allowance for detached ADUs to reach 18 feet maximum instead of the prior standard of 16 feet. Based on direction received from California Coastal Commission staff, since State Law governing ADUs allows detached ADUs to reach 18 feet, the 18-foot height limit shall apply provided there are no impacts to coastal resources. Based on the small size of the unit (386 square feet where 850 square feet is allowed), scale of existing development onsite and in the vicinity, and compatibility with the existing rooflines (existing multi-unit structure is two feet higher than the proposed ADU), no impacts to coastal views are anticipated. • The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline. Section 21.30A.040 of the NBMC requires that the provision of public access bear a 4 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 5 reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact, and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the project creates one ADU in conjunction with an existing multi-family development. Section 21.48.200 of the NBMC (Accessory Dwelling Units) allows up to two detached ADUs on a parcel that is developed with a multi-family structure. Although the project will add one additional dwelling unit to the property, it is accessory to primary multi-unit structure and is a studio with limited occupancy (and associated demand on public access). The ADU also includes its own parking on-site, which would reduce the need to park on the street and avoids impacts to public parking availability. •The new ADU and parking space are accessible via the alley in the rear of the property and would not result in any curb cuts or loss of parking. Thus, the project does not involve a change in land use, density or intensity that will result in increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities. •Vertical and Lateral access to the bay and beach is available approximately 200 feet from the site along 12th Street where there is a small access point. The project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. Modification Permit •Due to the existing development onsite and lot dimensions, a detached ADU could not be constructed on the site without affecting existing on-site parking. The proposed parking area of the site is the only location to accommodate a detached ADU. Although the design of the proposed ADU will comply with all applicable Title 20 and 21 standards and State ADU requirements, the Title 20 standards related to side-by-side parking would preclude construction of the ADU. •The purpose and intent of Zoning Code Chapter 20.40 (Off-Street Parking) is to provide sufficient off-street parking to serve on-site land uses, which in this case is the existing multi-unit structure and proposed ADU. Currently, on-site parking consists of four garage spaces and two uncovered spaces in the open area where the ADU will be constructed. The proposed project replaces two off-street parking spaces (uncovered) for a total of 7 parking spaces to serve the residential use whereas the existing design provides 6 parking spaces. To achieve this, the ADU is being constructed as an elevated unit to maintain the existing two parking spaces as tuck-under parking. The project also proposes to make the existing 4- car garage spaces more usable by (1) removing the garage doors (ensuring car usage as opposed to storage) and (2) eliminating the wall separating the two garages, which will create a larger garage space to more easily accommodate cars. 5 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 6 • The Zoning Code requires that replacement parking spaces provide a minimum of 20 feet in width (on a 40-foot-wide lot or greater) and 20 feet deep. The NBMC requires a four-foot side yard setback for the ADU and the carport walls. Excluding required supports for the carport and ADU above, there is only 18 feet of width remaining between the side setback and the existing multi-unit structure onsite. Therefore, because of the location of the existing building and side setback, a 20- foot carport width is not physically possible. • Other properties in the area are smaller in width and require garages or carports that are 17 feet 6 inches wide (for lots 30 wide or less) or 18 feet 6 inches wide (for lots between 30.1 and 39.99 feet wide), where the subject site (approx. 62 feet wide) requires a width of 20 feet (for lots 40 feet or greater). The proposed 18-foot- wide garage represents a minor 2-foot deviation that is similar in size to other parking spaces in the area, which demonstrates that an 18-foot width is sufficient for the parking of two vehicles. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. Class 3 exempts the demolition and construction of up to three single-family residences in urbanized areas. The proposed project consists of the addition of a detached 386-square- foot accessory dwelling units in conjunction with a multi-unit structure and therefore qualifies for this exemption. There are no known exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 that would invalidate the use of this exemption. The project location does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this public hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners and residential occupants of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-way and waterways), including the applicant, and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the city website. 6 UIP Balboa, LLC Acessory Dwelling Unit (PA2022-088) Zoning Administrator, June 15, 2023 Page 7 APPEAL PERIOD: This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date the Resolution is adopted unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with the Community Development Director by the provisions of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program [LCP] Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Final action taken by the City may be appealed to the Coastal Commission in compliance with Section 21.64.035 (Appeal to the Coastal Commission) of the City’s certified LCP and Title 14 California Code of Regulations, Sections 13111 through 13120, and Section 30603 of the Coastal Act.

ZA2023-### A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A NEW DETACHED ADU AND A MODIFICATION PERMIT FOR A NEW CARPORT TO DEVIATE FROM THE MINIMUM REQUIRED WIDTH LOCATED AT 1216 WEST BALBOA BOULEVARD (PA2022-088) THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by 1216 West Balboa LLC, concerning property located at 1216 West Balboa Boulevard, requesting approval of a coastal development permit and modification permit. 2. The lot at 1216 West Balboa Boulevard is legally described as Lots 5 and 6, Block 112 of Tract No. 234. 3. The applicant requests a Coastal Development Permit to construct a 386-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on an existing multi-unit residential property. The ADU would be detached from the primary multi-unit structure and elevated above a new two (2)- space carport. The new two (2)-space covered carport would replace two (2) existing uncovered parking spaces. The existing four (4)-car garage would also be converted to four (4) open carport spaces and one (1) additional tandem parking space would be added on-site. A modification permit is also requested to reduce the required parking space dimensions of the new two (2)-space carport from 20 feet deep by 20 feet wide to 20 feet deep by 18 feet wide (i.e. two (2) feet narrower). No other changes to the existing multi- unit structure are proposed. 4. The subject property is designated RT (Two Unit Residential) by the General Plan Land Use Element and is located within the R-2 (Two-Unit Residential) Zoning District. 5. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is RT-D (Two Unit Residential - (20.0 - 29.9 DU/AC)) and it is located within the R-2 (Two-Unit Residential) Coastal Zone District. 6. A public hearing was held on June 15, 2023, online via Zoom. A notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing was given by the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this hearing. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15303, Division 6, Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction or 9 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 2 of 13 01-10-2023 Conversion of Small Structures) because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. Class 3 exempts the demolition and construction of up to three single-family residences in urbanized areas. The proposed project consists of the addition of a detached 386- square-foot accessory dwelling unit in conjunction with an existing multi-unit structure and therefore qualifies for this exemption. 3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The project location does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. Coastal Development Permit By Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings, and Decision) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings, and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed development complies with applicable residential development standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and number of parking spaces. a. The maximum floor area limitation is 850 square feet per ADU for a studio/one-bedroom unit. The proposed ADU will be approximately 386 square feet. The maximum floor area limit for the property is 10,320 square feet, and with the proposed 386-square-foot ADU, the total floor area would be 5,949 square feet. Therefore, the property is approximately 60 percent of the total floor area allowed by the NBMC. b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 0 feet along the rear property line abutting the alley and 4 feet along the side property line. c. The highest point of the proposed ADU structure (including carport below) is 17 feet from established grade, which complies with the 18-foot maximum height limit identified in Section 20.48.200(F)(3)(c)(i) of the NBMC. Although recent revisions to the ADU development standards have been adopted in Title 20 of the NBMC, the corresponding updates in Title 21 are in process with the 10 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 3 of 13 01-10-2023 California Coastal Commission, including an allowance for detached ADUs to reach 18 feet maximum. Based on direction received from California Coastal Commission staff, since State Law governing ADUs allows detached ADUs to reach 18 feet, the 18-foot height limit shall apply provided there are no impacts to coastal resources. d.The existing 7-unit multi-unit development includes four (4) enclosed garage spaces and two (2) uncovered parking spaces. The proposed ADU requires one additional parking space on-site. i.The project replaces the existing two uncovered parking spaces that will be displaced by the new ADU. The two uncovered parking spaces will be redesigned as a two (2)-space carport below the ADU. ii.The garage doors on the existing two-(2) car garages onsite (4 parking spaces total) that serve the existing multi-unit building will be removed to create open carports. The converted carports will include one additional tandem space at the back of the existing garage, which complies with the requirement to add one additional parking space on-site. Because the proposed carports are visible from the alley and not secured by a garage door, it increases the likelihood that the parking spaces will be used for the storage of vehicles and not for the storage of other items. Therefore, the proposed project will improve the parking conditions on site. iii.The project also includes the installation of bike racks onsite to accommodate 8 bicycles, providing tenants the option for alternative modes of transportation. iv.A modification permit is requested to deviate from the Title 20 standard width requirement for a new two-car carport below the ADU. For properties that are over 40 feet wide, Title 20 of the NBMC requires a minimum of 20 feet deep by 20 feet wide clear for two-(2) car parking. The proposed carport is 20 feet deep by 18 feet wide which is two (2) feet narrower than the minimum requirement. However, the 18-foot width would be acceptable if the lot was narrower, and has proven to be sufficient width to accommodate two vehicles. Lastly, Title 21, of the NBMC does not include minimum dimensions for parking spaces and no deviations to Title 21 standards are requested. 2.The neighborhood is predominantly developed with one- and two-story multi-unit residences. There are several multi-unit residential structures along West Balboa Boulevard, which are primarily one to two stories. Of the 11 properties in the block, 9 are multi-unit structures containing more than two dwelling units. The largest development includes 8 units, with the bulk of properties including 3 to 4 units. The properties behind the subject site are primarily duplexes and single-unit dwellings that consist of mainly two stories with a few one- and three-story structures. The proposed ADU is on the second story and would reach approximately 17 feet, where the existing 11 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 4 of 13 01-10-2023 multi-unit structure on site is approximately 20 feet. The proposed ADU’s design, bulk, and 2-story scale are consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development. 3.The property is in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit issuance. 4.The property is located within 270 feet of coastal waters. A construction erosion control plan was provided to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived by construction chemicals and materials. The project design also addresses water quality through the inclusion of a post-construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event runoff on-site. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system. 5.The development is located on an inland property in a developed area approximately 270 feet from the bay. The project site is separated from the bay (the nearest body of water) by two rows of residential development and the West Bay Avenue right-of-way. The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is approximately 18 feet based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures. The identified distances from the coastal hazard areas coupled with the higher finished floor elevation will help to ensure the project is reasonably safe for the economic life of the structure. 6.New landscaping is not proposed nor required as part of this project. Any future landscaping would be required to comply with the NBMC. 7.The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public access way, or Coastal Viewpoint as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is at Marina Park and is not visible from the site. The proposed ADU is located at the rear of the site along the alley and would not be visible from West Balboa Boulevard or 12th Street, as the existing multi-family structure obstructs views. Furthermore, the proposed ADU complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and maintains a height and setback consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development. 8.The project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the visual quality of the coastal zone. The proposed ADU is approximately 2 feet lower than the existing roof of the multi-unit structure and the gross floor area would be approximately 60 percent of what is allowed by the NBMC, reducing the bulk and scale of the 386-square foot ADU. Although recent revisions to the ADU development standards have been adopted in Title 20 of the NBMC, the corresponding updates in Title 21 are in process with the California Coastal Commission, including an allowance for detached ADUs to reach 18 feet 12 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 5 of 13 01-10-2023 maximum instead of the prior standard of 16 feet. In the interim, California Coastal Commission staff has provided direction stating that since State Law governing ADUs allows detached ADUs to reach 18 feet, the 18-foot height limit shall apply provided there are no impacts to coastal resources. Based on the small size of the unit (386 square feet where 850 square feet is allowed), scale of existing development onsite and in the vicinity, and compatibility with the existing rooflines (existing multi-unit structure is two feet higher than the proposed ADU), no impacts to coastal views are anticipated. Finding: B.Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone. Facts in Support of Finding: 1.The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline. Section 21.30A.040 of the NBMC requires that the provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact, and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the project creates one ADU in conjunction with an existing multi-family development. Section 21.48.200 of the NBMC (Accessory Dwelling Units) allows up to two detached ADUs on a parcel that is developed with a multi-family structure. Although the project will add one additional dwelling unit to the property, it is accessory to primary multi-unit structure and is a studio with limited occupancy (and associated demand on public access). The ADU also includes its own parking on-site, which would reduce the need to park on the street and avoids impacts to public parking availability. 2.The project site was previously located within a half (1/2) mile of a transit stop, however in February 2023, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) terminated this section of the bus route. Where the project was previously exempt from parking, it now requires and includes one additional parking space for the ADU. Additionally, the new ADU and parking space is accessible via the alley in the rear of the property and would not result in any curb cuts or loss of parking. Thus, the project does not involve a change in land use, density or intensity that will result in increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities. 3.Vertical and Lateral access to the bay and beach is available approximately 200 feet from the site along 12th Street where there is a small access point. The project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. Modification Permit In accordance with Section 20.52.050.E (Modification Permits – Required Findings) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: 13 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 6 of 13 01-10-2023 Finding: C. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in the neighborhood. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The majority of residential developments in the vicinity provide access to their garage or carport via the alley, consistent with the proposed project. 2. Other properties in the area are smaller in width and require garages or carports that are 17 feet 6 inches wide (for lots 30 wide or less) or 18 feet 6 inches wide (for lots between 30.1 and 39.99 feet wide), where the subject site (approx. 62 feet wide) requires a width of 20 feet (for lots 40 feet or greater). The proposed 18-foot-wide garage represents a minor 2-foot deviation that is similar in size to other parking spaces in the area, which demonstrates that an 18-foot width is sufficient for the parking of two vehicles. 3. The proposed two-car carport is located in the same location as the existing uncovered parking spaces. 4. The project will maintain and enhance existing on-site parking. Currently, on-site parking consists of four garage spaces and two uncovered spaces in the open area where the ADU will be constructed. The ADU is being constructed as an elevated unit to maintain the existing two parking spaces as tuck-under parking. The project also proposes to make the existing 4-car garage spaces more usable by (1) removing the garage doors (ensuring car usage as opposed to storage) and (2) eliminating the wall separating the two garages, which will create a larger garage space to more easily accommodate cars. 5. The proposed side-by-side parking width is consistent with prevailing parking space widths in the general vicinity. Many of the existing parking spaces for the surrounding single-unit and multi-unit homes do not comply with current standards and are considered existing non-conforming. Finding: D. The granting of the modification is necessary due to the unique physical characteristic(s) of the property and/or structure, and/or characteristics of the use. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Zoning Code requires that replacement parking spaces require a minimum of 20 feet in width (on a 40-foot-wide lot or greater) and 20 feet deep. The NBMC requires a four-foot side yard setback for the ADU and the carport walls. Excluding required supports for the carport and ADU above, there is only 18 feet of width remaining between the side setback and the existing multi-unit structure onsite. Therefore, because of the location of the existing building and side setback, a 20-foot garage width is not physically possible. 14 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 7 of 13 01-10-2023 2.The granting of the Modification Permit is necessary to allow the construction of a new ADU with tuck under parking that replaces the existing two uncovered spaces. Additionally, the reduction in width is negligible in that it would still allow two vehicles to park inside. 3.The existing uncovered parking is also currently constrained in width because of the existing electrical panel structure located on the northern wall of the existing structure, which projects into the yard approximately 2 feet. That electrical panel structure and the associated electrical panels will be relocated. Finding: E.The granting of the modification is necessary due to practical difficulties associated with the property and that the strict application of the Zoning Code results in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1.Due to the existing development onsite and lot dimensions, a detached ADU could not be constructed on the site without affecting existing on-site parking. The proposed parking area of the site is the only location to accommodate a detached ADU. Although the design of the proposed ADU will comply with all applicable Title 20 and 21 standards and State ADU requirements, the Title 20 standards related to side-by-side parking would preclude construction of the ADU. The purpose and intent of Zoning Code Chapter 20.40 (Off-Street Parking) is to provide sufficient off-street parking to serve on- site land uses, which in this case is the existing multi-unit structure and proposed ADU. The proposed project replaces two off-street parking spaces (uncovered) for a total of 7 parking spaces to serve the residential use whereas the existing design provides 6 parking spaces. 2.At the time of application filing, the project site was within a 1/2 mile of public transit. Under the existing NBMC provisions governing ADUs, parking would not have been required for the ADU. However, OCTA eliminated the extension of Line 47 down Balboa Boulevard in March 2023. The project site is now just outside of the 1/2-mile walking distance from the closest Line 47 stop. The project was revised to add one additional parking space onsite, therefore a two-car carport is proposed in lieu of a one-car carport that would have previously been sufficient. Finding: F.There are no alternatives to the modification permit that could provide similar benefits to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants, the neighborhood, or to the general public. Facts in Support of Finding: 15 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 8 of 13 01-10-2023 1. Increasing the width of the carport to 20 feet would require the building to encroach 2 feet into the required side setback of 4 feet. Review and approval of a variance would be required to allow this deviation. Furthermore, relief from the Title 21 setback development standards would also be required to implement this alternative. The deviation to the setback requirement may impact the adjacent neighbors and may result in Building Code or Fire Code conflicts. 2. The applicant could shift the carport two feet towards the existing garage and multi-unit structure to accommodate the additional width. However, that would result in a reduction in width of the existing garages onsite which would not improve the parking conditions. Finding: G. The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, to the occupants of the property, nearby properties, the neighborhood, or the City, or result in a change in density or intensity that would be inconsistent with the provisions of this Zoning Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed deviation for the two-car garage, would not impact light, air, and privacy of surrounding neighbors. The new ADU and two-car carport will be consistent in scale with other dwellings in the neighborhood. 2. The proposed project would comply with all other development standards such as height, setbacks, and maximum floor area. 3. The proposed project maintains the minimum 3-foot side yard for fire access in accordance with Zoning Code Section 20.30.110 (Setbacks Regulations and Exceptions), Subsection A(1)(c). 4. The approval of this Modification Permit is conditioned such that the applicant is required to obtain all necessary permits in accordance with the Building Code and other applicable Codes. The Building Division has reviewed the proposed project and included a condition of approval for demonstration of project compliance with Building Codes. 5. The project provides additional parking for the ADU and maintains existing parking for the primary multi-unit dwellings, which will ensure that the ADU occupant does not require the use of on-street parking spaces. Thus, no impacts to coastal resources will result from providing a reduced width of on-site parking. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby finds this project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction of Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA 16 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-### Page 9 of 13 01-10-2023 Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2.The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Coastal Development Permit and Modification Permit (PA2022-088), subject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit “A,” which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 3.This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date this Resolution was adopted unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with the Community Development Director by the provisions of Title 21 Local Coastal Program (LCP) Implementation Plan, of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

Ms . Westmoreland: I previously submitted Comments in connection with Zoning Administrator review of applications from owner of property at 1216 W. Balboa Blvd., In connection with this property, its current status and application for 2 additional units stated to be ADUs. We are concerned that not all of the public’s comments were entered into the record or presented to the Zoning Administrator. One of my neighbors when submitting comment, was told that there was only one other person in addition to him who made comment. This is of considerable concern to me and my neighbors. This property is Not compliant with City building codes. This property is Not compliant with City regulations regarding STLs. There are currently only 2 parking spaces on-site occupied as such, in this 7 unit apartment building( all units are 2 bedroom). How is it that 1 Building /1 Owner can be granted 7 STL permits for that 1 property? And without required parking? How can an additional 2 units of any type be added given the aite footprint and parking capacity? If the City is proposing to grant 2 additional units, ADU or otherwise, this property/Owner should be required to decrease number of STL units. Please note that the overabundance of STLs permitted actually takes away from the invetory of regular Housing stock that the City is required to produce. Thank you, Denys Oberman 25 Regards, Denys H.

Please note that the action is only tied to the two new Accessory Dwelling Units and does not cover any short term lodging regulations for the existing multi-unit structure. ADUs cannot be used as short term lodging units and must be rented for at least 31 days or more. For any questions related to short term lodging, please contact Revenue: lodging@newportbeachca.gov On my end, I can see that they are eligible for short term lodging permits in the multi-unit structure, but I can’t determine the status, details, or other requirements such as parking. From a planning standpoint, they are required to maintain all of the garage spaces for use by the multi-unit property (whether it’s short term or long term leases).

Hi Lisa, I received notice of Zoning Administration Action Project File No. #PA2022-088 Can you please advise me on the following: 1. Is the address 1216 and or 1220 W. Balboa. It appears to be one structure. 1216 is the address of the subject property. Each unit has a number (1216 Unit 1-7). 2. This property is zoned R2 but currently has 7 active short term lodging permits on file with the city. How many units are currently at this address? How many monthly units and how many short-term units? The property consists of two legal lots, each zoned R-2. Per today’s standards they could build up to 4 units plus potential ADUs. The structure is considered existing legal nonconforming since there are 7 legal units. ADUs are also allowed. Contact revenue for short term lodging questions. 3. The property currently has two, 2 car garages for 7 short-term lodging permits. How many parking spots does the city require for each unit or short-term unit? Whether the existing units are used for short term lodging or long term rentals, the garage spaces shall be maintained for parking. The structure is legal nonconforming due to parking, as 2 spaces per unit are required per today’s standards. The ADUs do not require additional parking. 4. The current owner blocked several of the onsite parking spots with an attached bike rack in the alley. Is this the location where they propose the addition of two more units? The units are proposed at the rear of the property and will be stacked. The bike racks are going to be relocated onsite. 5. The residents very frequently park cars illegally in the alley past the water meters. Does the short-term permit office have a record of this or can we get a history of tickets for this address? Please contact Revenue for additional information. You may file a complaint if you observe any violations at the property. Parking is not allowed in the alley/public right-of-way. Please advise.

November 3, 2022 Liz Westmoreland Senior Planner City of Newport Beach 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach CA 92660 RE: Zoning Action PA2022-088 for 1216 W Balboa Dear Liz, I understand that the state’s rules for ADU housing have placed Newport Beach building department at odds with the state’s mandates. My issue is that the owners of this property currently have 7 active short-term lodging licenses for the existing units on the property. The previous owner had 8 onsite parking spots for the property. The new owner blocked 4 of the onsite parking spots with a bike rack and this is the location where the new ADU’s are planned for. As you know parking is at a premium on the peninsula. By blocking the 4 parking spots, they have created a situation where cars are continuously illegally parked in the alley. If possible, I would request the city’s Zoning Administrator consider one or more of the below suggestions: 29 1. Reduce the owners plans to only one new ADU which can be built above the currently blocked 4 parking spots. Restore the 4 parking spots under the new ADU to return a total of 8 parking spots for the property to accommodate the current 7 short-term lodging permits. 2. Stipulate in any possible approval that any new ADU can never be used for a short-term lodging. 3. Require the owner a choice between building the new ADU or the reduction and permanent elimination of the short-term lodging permits for the property because adequate parking will no longer be available on site for the short-term lodging units. Thank you very much for your consideration Jeff Myers 1215 W Bay Ave Newport beach CA 92661 November 3, 2022 Ellen Brenan Revenue Division City of Newport Beach 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach CA 92660 RE: Short-term Lodging Licenses for 1216 W Balboa and Parking Problem 30 Dear Ellen, 1216 W. Balboa currently has 7 active short-term lodging licenses and only 4 onsite parking spots. This property originally had 8 onsite parking spots with the previous owners and quite possibly when the original short-term lodging permits were issued. Shortly after the new owners took over the property, they blocked off an area in the rear of the building with a bike rack. This area was used for 4 parking spots. Now the tenants frequently park cars illegally in the alley ever since 4 on-site parking spots were blocked with the bike rack. The owners are currently in the process of gaining city approval to build 2 additional ADU rental units on the property location where they blocked the 4 onsite parking spots. I understand ADU’s can’t be used for short-term lodging, but the addition of the two units would bring the total apartment count to 9 units on the property that only has 4 remaining on-site parking spots. When the city granted the short-term lodging licenses for the property, they had a total of 8 on-site parking spots. The 2 new AUD units will be built on the area that formerly was used for 4 parking spots. I respectfully request the review of their short-term licenses and that the city lower the license count from 7 to 4 short-term licenses so that each of the 4 short-term units could have one dedicated garage parking spot on site.

COMMENTS FOR THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND REQUEST TO RESCHEDULE REVIEW WITH PUBLIC HEARING. PLEASE ENTER INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ADDRESS AND THE REFERENCED PROPOSED PROJECT SIR/MS: I am writing these comments and making request on behalf of myself, and residents located in the Central Penninsula area who are adversely impacted by the current Uses and proposed Project to construct an additional 2 units represented to be ADUs. The current Use is not fully or accurately represented . This is misleading to the Zoning Administrator or any party not directly knowledgeable about the area. The Notice of Zoning Administrator Action ( which we only just received yesterday in the mail) states That , the Zone ia, R-2, and that the Coastal Land Use Plan calls this lot, “ 2 Use Residential”) As a matter of fact, the site is developed and occupied as a 7 Unit Apartment building. The Owner procured, and has been renting out each and all of the 7 units as , Short Term Lodging Units. Each of these Units is supposed to have a minimum of 1 on-site parking space per unit. However, there is only a 2/2 car garage on the property, for a total of 4 onsite parking spaces. To further exacerbate, the Owner has had installed bolted down bike racks further limiting onsite parking capacity. 32 Each of these 7 units is occupied by 2 or more parties. Residents and guests park illegally in the back alley and also consume street parking. The site as currently developed and occupied is Unable to Meet City requirements for parking. Further, there has already been a preponderance of construction done without City permits, and not compliant. …………………………………………….. We appreciate the City’s desire to accommodate Accessary Dwelling Units in a manner consistent with State guidelines.However, the proposed “Accessory” Units are going to be used by the property Owner for additional Short Term Lodging ( with or without permit). However, this property as currently developed and used Fails to Meet City Parking requirements, and is already placing undue burden on surrounding neighbors in this already dense residential neiighborhood. The combined Use would result in Residents consuming more than 18 or more Street parking spaces. This would have significant adverse impact on the surrounding community, particularly as the adjacent block is constrained by the Elementary School. To enable the City to be fully informed, and to make a fair determination, we request that the City: 1. Reschedule the Zoning Administrator Action, to include a Local Public Hearing, so that full evidence and testimony can be provided. November 8th does not provide reasonable amount of time, particularly given that the assigned Planner is out on vacation 2. Deny the Project as currently proposed, and remand to the Owner/developer ( UIP Balboa LLC and related entities) that it reduce the number of STLs already on the property by at least 2 units, AND revise occupancy so that it complies with City minimum onsite parking requirements and other relevant City codes. 3. The City should make full inspection of the site and the current Uses and Occupancy, and may make addition findings and requirements supplementing those in item Also, clarify and correct Notice . We appreciate your response to this request, along with confirmation that the Zoning Administrator review and action will be deferred, subject to the items,above. Thank you . Denys H.

The bottom line of this is, that, regardless of whether the 7 units are STLs or not, it is quite clear that they are required to have and substantiate on-site parking. The Owner has not been compliant. Application for ADUs should be remanded to Owner until this is curred, evidenced by inspection.

Hello Liz and Jurjis, Sorry to bother you again, but I have been reading the ADU law and it is very difficult to understand what building standards are currently since the changes in laws. Can you please share this email with the Zoning Administrator and see if my understanding of the laws is correct or not. Thank you so much From what I have been reading, on ADU laws: 1. The total number of ADUs shall not exceed 25% of existing multifamily dwelling units. 1216 W Balboa currently has 7 apartments. Therefore 7 apartments times 25% is 1.75 ADUs or ONE ADU 2. New construction Detached ADUs are limited to 18 feet. SB897 If the Zoning Administrator cannot deny the ADU request based on the parking requirements for the existing structure and current licensed Short-term Lodging permits, Then, I request that the Zoning Administrator make notations and recommend that the city terminate the 7 current Short-term Lodging permits at the end of the license year. The property owners, can determine if they wish to proceed with the ADU or continue with having a Short-term Lodging Permit for the property. The property is currently for sale, and therefore, this owner or business has no ties to the local community in ensuring a peaceful coexistence among neighbors and is simply maximizing the profit potential of the property. 47 Thank you Jeff Myers 48 49 50 From: jeff ocrsi.com <jeff@ocrsi.com> Sent: November 08, 2022 12:49 PM To: Lodging Cc: Westmoreland, Liz; Jurjis, Seimone; Denys Oberman Subject: Re: Parking Complaint for 1216 W Balboa Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

It is my goal, that Liz and/or Seimone will provide this information along with my comments and concerns to the Zoning Administrator for use in his/her evaluation of their request for the 2 ADUs. Again, I understand that the ADU does not require parking, but the current 7 apartments and or Short-term rents do and therefore to take the parking spots away from the current, existing property configuration by building the ADUs should not be permitted or approved.

However, NBMC 5.95.045 (13) states: The owner shall ensure that all available parking spaces on site, which may include garage, carport, and driveway spaces as well as tandem parking, are available for the transient user, occupant or guest of the short term lodging unit. The owner shall disclose the number of parking spaces available on site and shall inform the transient user, occupant and/or guest that street parking may not be available. This means that the property owner must use all available on site parking spaces for transient; they cannot block off parking spaces, nor can they use parking for personal use (storage). As discussed 51 yesterday, John Murray in Code Enforcement will be reaching out to the owner to remove the bike rack blocking the additional parking spaces. The owner must comply within seven days of the notice. If they do not respond, Code Enforcement will issue a citation. I did not find anything in the chapter stating that the owner can or cannot decrease the amount of on- site parking available for transient use to accommodate for additional dwelling units. I have reached out to Liz and Seimone with this information because I am not sure how or if it will impact the plans for the proposed ADUs.

Hi Ellen, Thank you very much. Can you advise me if on-site parking is required for Short-term lodging. Mr Jurjis is not sure and I do not know for sure. This location where they blocked parking is the spot they are requesting the city to allow two new ADU's. This issue is, City can not enforce parking for ADU, but if the new ADU takes parking from short- term lodging or even normal apartments, then it should not be approved.

Hi Ellen, Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. The problem that triggered this request is that the property owners have requested permission from the city to build two new ADU on the site where the property currently has on-site parking. The ADU's do not require any on-site parking per state law, but the building of the units on the current parking spots will effect the ability of the property's tenants and or short-term tenants to adequately have on-site parking. Not to mention the negative effects of additional cars parked on the street for 12 street residents. Can you please expedite your investigation and share the results with Liz Westmoreland in planning and Seimone Jurjis with the building department. They are in the process of providing information to Zoning Administrator that will rule on the use of the parking spots and ADU 53 addition. The Notice we received says the administrator is scheduled to rule starting tomorrow Tuesday 11/8/2022 I realize it is extremely short notice, but we just received the city's notice by mail on Thursday 11/3/2022. Maybe they should postpone the Zoning Administers review until all the facts are available. Additionally, I am attaching a photo of the area from past parking use (prior owner from May 2021) and a copy of the MLS posting when the property was for sale listing the property as having 8 onsite parking spots. (MLS listing attached showing 8 on-site parking spots) Thank you very much for all of your assistance and consideration.

Balboa currently has 7 active short-term lodging licenses and only 4 onsite parking spots. This property originally had 8 onsite parking spots with the previous owners and quite possibly when the original short-term lodging permits were issued. Shortly after the new owners took over the property, they blocked off an area in the rear of the building with a bike rack. This area was used for 4 parking spots. Now the tenants frequently park cars illegally in the alley ever since 4 on-site parking spots were blocked with the bike rack. The owners are currently in the process of gaining city approval to build 2 additional ADU rental units on the property location where they blocked the 4 onsite parking spots. I understand ADU’s can’t be used for short-term lodging, but the addition of the two units would bring the total apartment count to 9 units on the property that only has 4 remaining on-site parking spots. When the city granted the short-term lodging licenses for the property, they had a total of 8 on-site parking spots. The 2 new AUD units will be built on the area that formerly was used for 4 parking spots. I respectfully request the review of their short-term licenses and that the city lower the license count from 7 to 4 short-term licenses so that each of the 4 short-term units could have one dedicated garage parking spot on site. 55 Thank you very much Jeff Myers 1215 W Bay Ave Newport Beach CA 92661 November 3, 2022 Liz Westmoreland Senior Planner City of Newport Beach 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach CA 92660 RE: Zoning Action PA2022-088 for 1216 W Balboa Dear Liz, I understand that the state’s rules for ADU housing have placed Newport Beach building department at odds with the state’s mandates.

The current structure includes 7 residenƟal units. Most are two bedrooms. Everyone of these units carries with it a Short Term Lodging( STL) permit. Zoning Administrator - June 15, 2023 Item No. 6a Additional Materials Received UIP Balboa, LLC Accessory Dwelling Unit Coastal Development Permit and Modification Permit (PA2022-088) 2 We previously inquired, but never received a response as to, Why 7 STL permits were granted in the same   building .. This effecƟvely turns this use into a quasi boarding house use.These permits were granted at the same  Ɵme that there was public outburst leading to passage of an Ordinance capping the number of STLs at 1550.  There are currently not enough parking spots on site to accommodate the already exisƟng residenƟal units/occupants. Overflow parking is on the street, and represents an over‐intensificaion burdening the surrounding neighbors and elementary shool nearby. The project proposes to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit elevated above a new 2‐car space carport. It also proposes to modigy the exisƟng 4‐ car garage to a 4 car open carport, and that 1 addiƟonal tandem space would be added.  This sƟll does not represent sufficiently parking for this exisƟng and proposed new dwellings. ( It is noted that, while ADUs are someƟmes excepted from onsite parking requirements, there is no nearby Transit  which was the jusƟficaƟon for this exempƟon).  This lot, and this neighborhood, cannot absorb any further intensificaƟon.  We respecƞully request that this project be denied, and further, that the City conduct an audit of the exisƟng units  permiƩed STLs.  Thank you.  Denys H. OBERMAN  Residents of Central Penninsula‐ W. 12th‐ W. 17th.  Zoning Administrator - June 15, 2023 Item No. 6a Additional Materials Received UIP Balboa, LLC Accessory Dwelling Unit Coastal Development Permit and Modification Permit (PA2022-088)
