meet the minimum required interior dimensions. The garage provides the minimum
required depth of 20 feet; however, the existing width is substandard at 19 feet, 8
inches when the minimum requirement is 20 feet. A modification permit is required
pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.38.060
