PROJECT SUMMARY
The applicant requests a coastal development permit (CDP) to allow a 487 square foot
addition and remodel of an existing 3,764 square-foot, two-story, single-unit dwelling with
an attached, 560 square foot, two-car garage. The remodel includes converting existing
habitable space on the first floor into a new, 281 square foot Junior Accessory Dwelling
Unit (JADU). A CDP is required because the addition exceeds 10% of the existing gross
floor area of the residence. The total gross floor area of the residence after the addition
would be 4,807 square feet. The project also includes landscape, hardscape, spa and
subsurface drainage improvements. All improvements authorized by this CDP will be
located on private property. The project complies with all development standards and no
deviations from the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) are requested.
RECOMMENDATION
1)Conduct a public hearing;
2) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to 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. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 of
the CEQA Guidelines are not applicable.

Permit (Attachment No. ZA 1).
DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
The project is located in the R-1 Zoning District, which allows a maximum of one
primary residential dwelling unit on a single legal lot. Section 21.48.200 (Accessory
Dwelling Units) of the NBMC allows for one Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU)
to be developed within an existing single-unit dwelling. The project is consistent with
the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal
development permit (CDP) is required and the property is not eligible for a Waiver for
De Minimis Development because the property is located in the Appeal Area.
The property consists of one legal lot developed with an existing single-unit dwelling.
There is a 10-foot alley easement along the rear property line.
The neighborhood is predominantly developed with one- and two-story, single-unit
dwellings. The design, bulk, and scale of the proposed development is consistent
with the existing and anticipated neighborhood pattern of development (see Figure
1, below).

square feet and will receive an addition of 140 square feet to be used as storage.
The first floor will receive a 59 square foot addition to the dining room. Two additions
to the second floor are proposed: a 34 square foot addition to the master bathroom,
and a 245 square feet addition for a new bedroom above the patio area on the
eastern side of the property.
The scope of the project’s remodel includes converting existing habitable space into
a new, 281 square foot JADU. The JADU will replace the existing den on the first
floor, adjacent to the area of the garage addition. The JADU will have external access
provided from the side yard and internal connection to the principal dwelling.
No additional parking shall be required for JADUs, pursuant to Section
21.48.200(F)(8)(a) (Accessory Dwelling Units) of the NBMC. No portion of the garage
is being converted to accommodate the JADU, so no replacement parking is required
either.
The parking standard for detached Single-Unit Dwellings with under 4,000 square
feet of floor area is two spaces per unit, in a garage. While the project will result in a
total gross floor area of 4,807 square feet, the garage makes up 700 square feet and
the JADU makes up 281 square feet of this total. Garage floor area and the area of
the JADU, a separate unit, do not count towards the 4,000 square foot threshold. The
parking requirement will remain as two spaces in a garage.
The project conforms with 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.

Hazards
The project site is located approximately 135 feet from the harbor, specifically the
Lido Channel. It is separated from the water by 2400 Bay Shore Drive, which is
currently developed as a sandy beach. The project is also separated from the water
by Bay Shore Drive. The site is not a waterfront lot and is not protected by a bulkhead.
The surrounding community is protected by private bulkheads.
The finished first floor elevation of the proposed residence is 9.88 feet based on
the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), which exceeds the
minimum required 9.00-foot NAVD88 elevation standard. The identified distances
from the coastal hazard areas coupled with the 9.88-foot NAVD88 finish floor
elevation will help to ensure the project is reasonably safe for the economic life of
the structure.
The property is located 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, if required during plan check, would require
review and approval 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.
Water Quality
The property is not located on the shoreline and is over 100 feet from coastal waters.
The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion control plan
and a post construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation
features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event run-off on-site. Any
water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
The construction erosion control plan includes temporary Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to be implemented during construction to minimize erosion and
sedimentation, and to minimize pollution of runoff derived by construction
chemicals and materials. No water quality impacts to coastal waters are
anticipated based upon the location and elevation of the property.
Public Access and Views
The Property is located between the first public road and the sea or shoreline,
within the private, gated, community of Bay Shores. Established in 1941, Bay
Shores is adjacent to the Lido Channel, southwest of Coast Highway and the
Newport Bay Bridge and is primarily developed as a 258-lot, single-unit dwelling
community. Bay Shores is also developed with a 39-unit apartment complex.
Vehicular access is provided from Coast Highway via Bay Shore Drive, a private
street with guard booth.

Moinfar Residence (PA2023-0157)
Zoning Administrator, January 25, 2024
Page 5
The community is protected by private bulkheads and there are two small sandy
beaches on the south and east side of the community. No public access is available
to the beaches or harbor through the Bay Shores community.
Vertical and lateral access to the harbor is available at Balboa Bay Club, immediately
west of the Bay Shores community. The Property does not currently provide, nor
does it inhibit public coastal access. There are no features proposed as part of the
project that would restrict access.
Coastal Land Use Plan Policy 3.1.5-3 requires public access consistent with public
access policies for any new development in private/gated communities causing or
contributing to adverse public access impacts. Implementation Plan Section
21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) 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
improves an existing single-unit residence located on a coastal lot and adds one, 281
square foot JADU which is fully contained within the existing structure. While the
project adds an additional unit, no significant impact to demand for public access or
recreation opportunities is anticipated considering Bay Shores is a private, gated,
community that does not provide public access.
The project site is within a neighborhood that is adjacent to Coast Highway, a
designated coastal view road; however, the segment of Coast Highway abutting
the Bay Shores Community is excluded from this designation. The project site is
not located adjacent to a public viewpoint, public park, public beach, or public
accessway, as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest public viewpoint
is approximately 1,785 feet away, Kings Road Park. The second closest public
viewpoint is Castaways Park, approximately 2,500 feet from the project site. The
project site may be located within the viewshed of distant public viewing areas;
however, the project will result in an addition to an existing single-unit dwelling that
complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program development standards and
maintains a building envelope consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual
quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to public views.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of
the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has
no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three single-unit residences and additions of up
to 10,000 square feet to existing structures. The proposed project consists of remodeling
5
Moinfar Residence (PA2023-0157)
Zoning Administrator, January 25, 2024
Page 6
resulting in a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit and the construction of a new 487 square
foot addition and therefore qualifies within 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 NBMC. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting,
which was posted at City Hall and on the City website.
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 in accordance with the provisions of Title 21 (Local Coastal
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 of the
City’s certified LCP and Title 14 California Code of Regulations, Sections 13111 through
13120, and Section 30603 of the Coastal Act. For additional information on filing an appeal,

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
By Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits - Findings and Decision) of the NBMC,
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 addition and remodel project complies with applicable residential
development standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks,
height, and parking.
a.The maximum floor area limitation is 6,720 square feet. The proposed floorarea is approximately 4,807 square feet, which includes a 700 square foot
garage and a 281 square foot JADU.
b.The proposed project provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 10feet along the front property line abutting Bay Shore Drive, 4 feet along eachside property line, and 10 feet along the rear property line.
c.The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from the established grade (9.19feet NAVD88) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from theestablished grade, which complies with the maximum height requirements.
d.The parking standard for detached Single-Unit Dwellings with under 4,000
square feet of floor area is two spaces per unit, in a garage. While the projectwill result in a total gross floor area of 4,807 square feet, the garage makes up700 square feet and the JADU makes up 281 square feet of this total. Garagefloor area and the area of the JADU, a separate unit, do not count towards the
4,000 square foot threshold. The parking requirement will remain as two spaces

01-10-2023
2.The project will add 140 square feet to the existing garage, 68 square feet to the first floor of
the residence, and 279 square feet to the second floor, for a total addition of 487 square feet.
3.Section 21.48.200 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of the NBMC allows for one Junior AccessoryDwelling Unit (JADU) to be developed within an existing single-unit dwelling. The project will
convert the existing den on the first floor into a 281 square foot JADU. The JADU will have
external access provided from the side yard and internal connection to the principal dwelling.
4.The neighborhood is predominantly developed with one-story and two-story, single-unitdwellings. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development are consistent with
the existing neighborhood pattern of development.
5.The project site is located approximately 135 feet from the harbor, specifically the LidoChannel. It is separated from the water by 2400 Bay Shore Drive, which is currentlydeveloped as a sandy beach. The project is also separated from the water by Bay Shore
Drive. The site is not a waterfront lot and is not protected by a bulkhead. The surrounding
community is protected by private bulkheads.
6.The finished floor elevation of the existing single-unit dwelling is 9.88 feet (NAVD 88),which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD 88) elevation standard. The
identified distances from the coastal hazard areas coupled with the 9.88-foot NAVD88
finish floor elevation will help to ensure the project is reasonably safe for the economiclife of the structure.
7.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. If required during plan check, geotechnical investigationsspecifically addressing liquefaction are required to be reviewed and approved before theissuance of building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion of designmitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance
with approved investigations and the CBC before building permit issuance.
8.As conditioned, the project design will address water quality with a construction erosioncontrol plan and a post-construction drainage system that includes drainage andpercolation features designed to retain dry weather runoff and minor rain event runoff
on-site. Any water not retained on-site will be directed to the City’s storm drain system.
9.The project site is within a neighborhood that is adjacent to Coast Highway, a designatedcoastal view road; however, the segment of Coast Highway abutting the Bay ShoresCommunity is excluded from this designation. The project site is not located adjacent to
a public viewpoint, public park, public beach, or public accessway, as identified in the
Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest public viewpoint is approximately 1,785 feet away,Kings Road Park. The second closest public viewpoint is Castaways Park, approximately2,500 feet from the project site. The project site may be located within the viewshed ofdistant public viewing areas; however, the project complies with all applicable Local
Coastal Program development standards and maintains a building envelope consistent
with the existing neighborhood pattern of development. Therefore, the project does not
10

have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant
adverse impacts to public views.
10.New landscaping will be verified for compliance with NBMC Section 21.30.075(Landscaping). Prior to issuance of the building permits, the final landscape plans will be
reviewed to verify invasive species are not planted.
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.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1.The Property is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline, in the
private community of Bay Shores. Developed in 1941, Bay Shores is a 258-lot, single-family gated community located on the Lido Channel, southwest of Coast Highway andNewport Bay Bridge. The 39-unit Anchorage Apartment complex is also located within thecommunity. The community is accessible from Coast Highway via Bay Shore Drive, a
private street.
2.Coastal Land Use Plan Policy 3.1.5-3 requires public access consistent with public accesspolicies for any new development in private/gated communities causing or contributing toadverse public access impacts. Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 (Determination
of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) requires that the provision of public access bear a
reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact and beproportional to the impact. In this case, the Project improves an existing single-unitresidence located on a coastal lot and adds one, 281 square foot JADU which is fullycontained within the existing structure. While the project adds an additional unit, no
significant impact to demand for public access or recreation opportunities is anticipated
considering Bay Shores is a private, gated community that does not provide public access.
3.The Property does not currently provide, nor does it inhibit public coastal access. Verticaland lateral access to the bay front is available adjacent to the Bay Shores community at
the Balboa Bay Club, which is immediately west of the Bay Shores Community.

Subject:Comment on ZA Item 5 (PA2023-0157, 1/25/2024 meeting)
With regard to the proposed resolution for Item 5, Moinfar Residence CDP application PA2023-0157,
on the January 25, 2024, Zoning Administrator agenda, Condition of Approval 2 seems poorly stated:
"Prior to issuance of building permits, owner shall record deed restriction prepared by the City
noting the size of the unit, description of unit, prohibition on short term rentals, prohibiting the
sale of the JADU, and specifying owner-occupancy requirement for JADU."
In addition to being somewhat ungrammatical, while some of the restrictions say they apply to the
JADU, others do not, making it impossible to tell for certain what portions of the approved
development they apply to.
Assuming the City really prepares the document (rather than merely approving it), and that all the
restrictions apply only to the JADU, something like the following might be clearer:
"Prior to issuance of building permits, the owner shall record a deed restriction prepared by the
City noting, with respect to the JADU, the size of the unit, a description of the unit, prohibiting
its short term rental or separate sale, and specifying an owner-occupancy requirement."
However, with respect to the owner-occupancy requirement, if the City interprets that to mean a
property with a JADU must be occupied by the owner of the property even if the JADU is not being
used as such, the following would be better:
"Prior to issuance of building permits, the owner shall record a deed restriction prepared by the
City specifying an owner-occupancy requirement, and, with respect to the JADU, noting the size
of the unit, a description of the unit, and prohibiting its short term rental or separate sale."
