Project Summary
A request for a modification permit to allow a 1,140-square-foot addition to an
existing 2,508 square foot single-unit residence in accordance with the Newport
Beach Municipal Code (NBMC), which only allows up to a 10% addition for
properties with nonconforming parking. The proposed project includes a 230 square
foot addition to the first floor and a 910 square foot addition to the second floor.
Additionally, the existing garage depth is considered legal nonconforming, as the
parking spaces in the garage have an interior clear dimension of approximately 19
feet and 9 inches instead of the 20-foot depth required. The combined width of the
two parking spaces within the garage complies with the NBMC. The total square
footage of the proposed residence (including garage) would be 4,679 square feet.

1.Conduct a public hearing;
2.Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
