Anderson Residence Modification Permit (PA2023-0216)
Site Location: 2616 Clay Street
4.
Project Summary
A modification permit to allow a 738-square-foot addition to an existing 1,960
square foot single-unit residence where the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC)
only allows up to a 10% addition for properties with non-conforming parking. The
project will involve remodeling of the single-unit residence and the construction of a
738 square foot, two-story addition. The existing garage is considered
non-conforming due to width, as one of the parking spaces in the garage has an
interior clear dimension of approximately 9 feet 3 and 1/2 inches instead of the
10-foot width required. The other parking space within the garage complies with the
NBMC. The total square footage of the proposed residence (including garage) would
be 2,699 square feet.
Recommended Action
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
