NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. or soon thereafter
as the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted online via Zoom. The Zoning
Administrator of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Pine Knot Motel – A request for a coastal development permit to rehabilitate a 12-room motel that was
significantly damaged by fire and partially demolished pursuant to Emergency Coastal Development
Permit No. ECD2018-150. The project involves a minor addition of approximately 306 square feet, the
addition of a partial second story at the front of the property, and the construction of a commercial trash
enclosure. The project also involves site improvements, including but not limited to, hardscaping,
drainage, and restriping of the existing parking lot. The rehabilitated motel will maintain a relatively
similar footprint to the destroyed structure and will maintain the same number of guest rooms.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15302 - Class 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction)
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 or before the public hearing. The application may be
continued to a specific future meeting date; if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the
continuance will not be provided. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport
Beach Municipal Code Chapter 21.64. A fee is not required to appeal any final action on a coastal
development permit to the Planning Commission. The project site is not located within the appeal area
of the coastal zone; therefore, final action by the City may not be appealed to the California Coastal
Commission.
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 the City of
Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/zoningadministrator. Please review the Zoning
Administrator Agenda for Zoom participation instructions. 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 12:00 p.m. on the business day
immediately before the meeting. This allows time for the Zoning Administrator to adequately consider
the submitted correspondence.
