DISCUSSION
The subject property is located on the corner of 9th Street and West Bay Avenue
and is zoned Two-Unit Residential (R-2), which is intended to provide areas
appropriate for residential development of up to two units. The surrounding
development predominantly consists of two-story residential buildings, with Bay
access located north of the property on 9th street (Figure 1, below).
Figure 1: Oblique Aerial Image of Subject Property
The property currently consists of one legal lot developed with a two-unit residential
duplex. The lot is rectangular in shape and is approximately 2,601 square feet in size.
The property owner proposes to demolish the existing duplex and construct a new
two-unit residential condominium with a footprint consistent with the proposed
tentative parcel map. A building permit, XR2023-1923, has been obtained.
The property is located within an area of the Coastal Zone that is exempt from
obtaining approval for a coastal development permit for specific types of
development. This Categorical Exclusion Order (CEO) area allows for the
demolition of residential structures and construction of a new two (2)-unit
residential structure without obtaining a coastal development permit, contingent
upon providing notice of categorical exclusion to the Coastal Commission.
The tentative parcel map for condominium purposes requires a coastal development
permit and conforms to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) in
the NBMC. The parcel map will meet the required findings found in Section
21.52.015(F) (Findings and Decision) of the NBMC. Complete findings and facts

in support are enumerated in the draft resolution (Attachment No. ZA 1). There is
no proposed change in density. The Property is currently developed with two
residential units and will be redeveloped with two residential units, resulting in no
net loss of residential dwelling units.
The project includes conditions of approval requiring public improvements,
including the reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters along the 9th Street,
Bay Avenue West frontage, and alley as needed. Existing private improvements
(walls) within the Bay Avenue West and 9th Street rights-of-way will be removed.
The applicant shall dedicate a 10-foot radius cut-off for street and public utility
purposes at the West Bay Avenue and 9th Street intersection and install a new curb
ramp at the corner of this intersection. The utilities will be undergrounded,
consistent with Title 19 (Subdivisions) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
To avoid conflict between the proposed tentative parcel map boundaries and existing
building footprint, Condition of Approval No. 2 is included which requires demolition
of the existing buildings prior to recordation of the final parcel map.
This condominium project is not subject to the assessment of Fair Share Fees and
In-Lieu Park Dedication fees as the project does not result in the net increase of
residential units.
The proposed subdivision and associated improvements are consistent with the
standards and policies of the Zoning Code, Local Coastal Implementation Plan, and
the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section
15315 under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) of the State CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines., Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because it has no
potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
The Class 15 exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four (4) or fewer parcels when the division is
in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required,
all services and access to the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was not involved
in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two (2) years, and the parcel does not
have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The Project is for a two-unit condominium
subdivision and will conform to all development standards, and therefore, is consistent
with and eligible for the Class 15 Exemption.

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Tentative Parcel Map
In accordance with Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps) of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC), the following findings, and facts in support of such
findings, are set forth:
Finding:
A. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable
provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1.The tentative parcel map is for two-unit condominium purposes. The Property is
currently developed with a residential duplex on one lot. The property owner proposes to
demolish an existing residential duplex and construct a new two-unit residential
condominium building. The condominium map will allow for the separate sale of each
unit in the future. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with
density of the R-2 Zoning District and the Two Unit Residential (RT) General Plan Land
Use designation.
2. The Property is not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1.The Property is physically suitable for attached residential dwellings, as it is regular in
shape and size with access to both West Bay Avenue and the alley in the rear. The
Property is currently developed with a residential duplex which the owner proposes to
demolish and redevelop with an attached, two-unit residential condominium.
2. The Property is accessible by pedestrians from West Bay Avenue at the front property
line, from 9th street at the side property line, and from the alley abutting the rear property
line. Vehicular access is available from the alley.
3. The Property is adequately served by existing utilities, including electrical, water, and
sewer. Per Conditions of Approval Nos. 14, 16, 17, and 18, separate utility connections
shall be required for each condominium unit including fire sprinkler lines.
7
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-###
Page 3 of 10
01-10-2023
4. There is no proposed change in density. The Property is currently developed with two
residential units and will be redeveloped with two residential units, resulting in no net
change of residential dwelling units.
Finding:
C. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision-making body may
nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was
prepared for the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 21081 of the
California Environmental Quality Act that specific economic, social, or other
considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified
in the environmental impact report.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located within a developed residential neighborhood that does not
contain any sensitive vegetation or habitat on-site.
2. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to Section 15315 under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Finding:
D. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The tentative parcel map is for residential condominium purposes. All improvements
associated with the project will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes,
which are in place to prevent serious public health problems. Public improvements will
be required of the Applicant per Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement
Requirements) of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 (Local agencies to regulate
and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map Act. The Project shall comply
with all ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval.
2. The Project has been conditioned to require public improvements, including the
reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along the 9th Street frontage, Bay Avenue
West frontage, and alley, as needed. Existing private improvements (walls) within the
Bay Avenue West and 9th Street rights-of-way will be removed. The applicant shall
dedicate a 10-foot radius cut-off for street and public utility purposes at the West Bay
Avenue and 9th Street intersection and install a new curb ramp at the corner of this
intersection. The utilities will be undergrounded, consistent with Title 19 (Subdivisions)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

Finding:
E. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within
the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision-making body may approve a
map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or use, will be provided and that
these easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the
public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established
by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted
to the City Council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for
access through or use of property within a subdivision.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative parcel map and
determined that the design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired
by the public at large, for access through, or use of Property within the proposed
development because no public easements are located on the Property.
Finding:
F. The subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, if
the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land
Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision
of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will
result in residential development incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the
land.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the Property is not designated
as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area.
2. The Property is developed for residential use and lies in the R-2 Zoning District, which
permits residential uses.
Finding:
G. In the case of a “land project” as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business
and Professions Code: (1) there is an adopted specific plan for the area to be included
within the land project; and (2) the decision-making body finds that the proposed land
project is consistent with the specific plan for the area.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The California Business and Professions Code Section 11000.5 has been repealed by
the Legislature. However, this project site is not considered a “land project” as previously
9
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-###
Page 5 of 10
01-10-2023
defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code because
the Project site does not contain 50 or more parcels of land.
2. The Project is not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
H. Solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been satisfied
in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The tentative parcel map and any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the
California Code of Regulations (the California Building Code) which requires new
construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on
location and climate. The Newport Beach Building Division enforces Title 24 compliance
through the plan check and inspection process.
Finding:
I. The subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and
Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City’s share of the
regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the
public service needs of the City’s residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed two-unit residential condominium project is consistent with the R-2 Zoning
District, which allows up to two (2) residential units on the Property. Therefore, the
tentative parcel map for residential condominium purposes will not affect the City in
meeting its regional housing needs.
Finding:
J. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer
system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Project wastewater is designed to discharge into the existing sewer system and
complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
Finding:
10
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-###
Page 6 of 10
01-10-2023
K. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the coastal zone, that the subdivision
conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public
access and recreation policies of Chapter Three (3) of the Coastal Act.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1.The Property is located within the coastal zone, therefore a CDP is required in
conjunction with the proposed tentative parcel map. The project complies with the
certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and public access and recreation policies of
Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. The Facts in Support of Findings L and M for the coastal
development permit (below) are hereby incorporated by reference.
Coastal Development Permit
In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings, and Decision)
of the NBMC, the following findings, and facts in support of such findings, are set forth:
Finding:
L.Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1.The Project is for a tentative parcel map for two-unit residential condominium purposes.
The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the density of the R-2
Coastal Zoning District.
2.The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-story, single- and
two-unit residences. The proposed subdivision, which will allow for a two-unit residential
condominium, is 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.
4.The tentative parcel map is for a property that is over 160 feet from the bay and is not near
any natural landforms or environmentally sensitive areas.
Finding:
M.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 not located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access bear
11
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-###
Page 7 of 10
01-10-2023
a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact and be
proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project proposes a two-unit residential
condominium map on a property currently developed with a residential duplex. Therefore,
the project does not involve a change in land use, density, or intensity that will result in
increased demand for public access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, future site
development shall be required to comply with applicable development standards sited
(appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access
opportunities.
2. The tentative parcel map is for a property that is over 160 feet from the bay and the
approval of the map will not affect public recreation, access, or views. There is a street and
a block of residential properties between the subject property and the bay.
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 15315
under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) 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.
2. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves the Tentative
Parcel Map and Coastal Development Permit (PA2023-0190), 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 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
Program [LCP] Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. 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.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 29TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2024.

Item No. 3. Artisan Property LLC Residential Condominiums Tentative
Parcel Map and Coastal Development Permit (PA2023-0190)
Handwritten page 12, Section 4.3: In contradiciton to the public notice for this hearing, the
proposed resolution incorrectly states that “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” (emphasis added).
Possibly there is confusion between policies triggered by a site being “between the nearest
public road and the sea or shoreline” and those triggered by being “between the sea and first
public road paralleling the sea.” The CCC’s appeal jurisdiction is determined, among other
criteria, by the latter. Like all of the Peninsula south or east of 24
th Street, this site meets that
criterion, making local decisions regarding it appealable to the CCC.
