HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, August 17, 2023, at 6:00 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:
Pacifica Christian High School Enrollment Increase – A request to amend the existing Use Permit for Pacifica
Christian High School to increase student enrollment from 305 to 385 and to increase the number of administration and staff members from 35 to 50. Adequate parking would be provided by two on-site and two off-site surface parking lots totaling 170 parking spaces. As proposed, students would park onsite at the main high school campus (1499 Monrovia Avenue) or at the auxiliary campus (883 West 15th Street). Administration and staff members
would park in the offsite lots at either 1515 Monrovia Avenue or 877 Production Place. There are no additional classrooms, physical additions, or expansions proposed at either the main or auxiliary campus locations. Due to the proposed cumulative increase in average daily trips over a two-year period, the project also requires approval of a traffic study pursuant to Chapter 15.40 (Traffic Phasing Ordinance) of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code. If approved and implemented, this Use Permit will supersede UP2021-037, which would be rendered null and void.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 - Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA
(California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the
Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.64 (Appeals). The application may be continued to a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided.
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the Friday
preceding the public hearing, and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/planningcommission. Individuals not able to attend the meeting may contact the Planning Division or access the City’s website after the meeting to review the action on this application. All mail or written communications (including email) from the public, residents, or applicants regarding an agenda item must
be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately prior to the meeting. This allows time for the Planning Commission to adequately consider the submitted correspondence.
