RESOLUTION NO. ZA2026-010
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP AND COASTAL DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF AN EXISTING PARCEL
LOCATED AT 2200 PACIFIC DRIVE (PA2025-0240)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Brent Engstrom (Applicant) on behalf of Sharon Engstrom
(Owner) with respect to property located at 2200 Pacific Drive and legally described as
Lots 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Block 328 of the Corona Del Mar Tract (Property), requesting approval
of a tentative parcel map (TPM) and a coastal development permit (CDP).
2. The Property is a 125-foot-wide lot developed with an existing single-unit residence. The
Property consists of 4 underlying parcels, per the original subdivision map. The Property
has an existing covenant agreement with the City of Newport Beach (City), dated March
16, 1983, to hold Lots 5, 6, 7, and 8 as a single parcel, unless released by the authority of
the Planning Director of the City of Newport Beach.
3. The Applicant requests a TPM and CDP for the subdivision of an existing parcel into three
separate parcels for future development of three single-unit residences. The existing parcel
is 125 feet wide and is currently developed with an existing single-unit residence, whereas
the proposed subdivision would create three parcels (one 54-foot-wide parcel and two 35-
foot-wide parcels). The proposed subdivision includes a deviation from design standards
of Title 19 (Subdivisions) for minimum lot area and dimensions for new lots (Project).
4. The Property is designated Single Unit Residential (RS-D) by the General Plan Land Use
Plan and is located within the Single-Unit Residential (R-1) Zoning District.
5. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP)
category is Single Unit Residential Detached (RSD B – 6.0 – 9.9 DU/AC) and it is located
within the Single-Unit Residential (R-1) Coastal Zoning District.
6. The Property is located within the Categorical Exclusion Area. The tentative parcel map
for the creation of additional parcels requires a coastal development permit due to its
location in the coastal zone.
7. A public hearing was held on February 26, 2026, online via Zoom. A notice of the time,
place, and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach
Municipal Code (NBMC). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and
considered by the Zoning Administrator at this hearing.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010

01-10-2023
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. 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,
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 Class 15 exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is
in conformance with the General Plan and Zoning Code, 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 years, and the parcel
does not have an average slope greater than 20%. The Project is for a subdivision of an
existing parcel into three separate parcels with substandard lot area and width .
However, since the Project complies with the provisions of Title 19 (Subdivisions) and
provides findings addressed within this resolution, it is considered compliant with the
Zoning Code. No variances or exceptions are proposed as part of the Project. Therefore,
the Project is eligible for the Class 15 exemption.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
Tentative Parcel Map
The Zoning Administrator determined the Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the legislative
intent of the NBMC Title 19 (Subdivisions) and is approved based on the following findings per
NBMC Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps):
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 TPM is for the subdivision of an existing parcel into three separate parcels, for the
potential development of three single-unit residences. The RS-D General Plan and R-1
zoning designations apply to single-unit residences. The Property is currently developed
with a single-unit residence, with the intention of being demolished for future
development. The proposed subdivision and improvements will continue to be
consistent with the density of the RS-D and R-1 designations.
2. Footnote 2 of Table 2-2 of Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.18.030
requires any new subdivisions that would result in additional dwelling units beyond what
the original underlying lots would allow are not permitted unless authorized by an
amendment of the General Plan. The original Corona del Mar subdivision map from
September 7, 1904, shows that Block 328 was originally developed with 8 parcels, which
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 3 of 14
01-10-2023
allowed 8 dwelling units on the block. The Project would increase the number of dwelling
units from 5 to 7, which does not exceed what the original underlying lots would allow.
Therefore, the Project does not require an amendment to the General Plan.
3. The Property is not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is physically suitable for the subdivided parcels along with the future
redevelopment of three single-unit residences. It is compatible in shape and size with
the surrounding lots in the neighborhood and the Project’s lot length and dimensions will
be similar to other residences on the Pacific Drive block. Residences between the 2216
to 2328 Pacific Drive block share a lot length between 100 and 220 feet and lot widths
between 30 and 35 feet.
2. The demolition and construction of future single-unit residences will be reviewed in
compliance with all requirements of the NBMC Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) and Title
21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan).
3. The Property is accessible from Pacific Drive and the rear alleyway. Existing and
proposed vehicular access will be taken from the alley.
4. The Property is adequately served by all existing utilities to accommodate the proposed
parcels. The Project has been conditioned by the Public Works Department to
underground any existing overhead utilities. Furthermore, the Building Division has
conditioned the utilities for this Project to not cross the proposed property lines, nor shall
cross-lot drainage be allowed between each proposed parcel as shown on Condition of
Approval No. 25.
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.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 4 of 14
01-10-2023
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located within an existing residential neighborhood that does not contain
any sensitive vegetation or habit on-site.
2. This Project is exempt from the CEQA pursuant to Section 15315 under Class 15 (Minor
Land Divisions) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 2 of this Resolution is hereby
incorporated by reference.
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 Project has been conditioned to require public improvements, including the
reconstruction of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along Pacific Drive and Avocado Avenue
frontage, as needed. The utilities will be undergrounded, consistent with Title 19
(Subdivisions) of the NBMC.
2. The TPM is for residential 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 developer
per NBMC Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) and Section 66411
(Local agencies to regulate and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map
Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied with.
Finding:
E. That 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 esta blished
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.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Public Works Department has reviewed the Project 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 the Property within the proposed development because no
public easements are located on the Property.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 5 of 14
01-10-2023
Finding:
F. That, 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 subdivisi on
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 subject property is not
designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area.
2. The Property was previously developed for residential use and is in a zoning district that
permits residential uses.
Finding:
G. That, 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. 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
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. That, 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. Any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California Building Code, which
requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards
depending on location and climate. The City’s Building Division enforces Title 24
compliance through the plan check and inspection process.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 6 of 14
01-10-2023
Finding:
I. That 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 Project would allow for the development of three single-unit residences on each
parcel, replacing the existing single-unit dwelling, consistent with the provisions of the
R-1 Zoning District. Therefore, the TPM for residential purposes will not negatively affect
the City in meeting its regional housing need. The Project further allows the City to
support and balance its housing needs by increasing residential density in the area .
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 proposed subdivision is designed to discharge waste into the existing sewer system
and complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
Finding:
K. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, the subdivision conforms
with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public access and
recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located within the coastal zone and a CDP is therefore requested in
conjunction with the proposed TPM. 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 Q and R for the CDP (below) are hereby
incorporated by reference.
Deviation from Design Standards
Pursuant to Section 19.24.050(A) (Lot Design, Lot Size), of the NBMC, new subdivisions must
meet the applicable zoning district regulations of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC.
Deviation from the design standards set forth in Title 19 (Subdivisions) may be approved
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 7 of 14
01-10-2023
subject to specific findings in Section 19.24.130(C) (Deviation from Design Standards,
Required Finding to Allow Deviation) of the NBMC.
The proposed subdivision would result in parcels which do not meet the lot width and/or area
standards required by Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) for new subdivisions within the R-1 Zoning
District, which requires new subdivision corner lots to be a minimum 60 feet wide and 6,000
square feet in area, and interior lots to be a minimum 50 feet wide and 5,000 square feet in
area. Parcel 1, as identified by the proposed TPM, is a corner lot and is approximately 54 feet
wide and 6,502 square feet in area. Parcel 2 and Parcel 3, which are interior lots, will share the
same approximate lot width of 35 feet, although they differ in lot area. Parcel 2 has a lot area
of 4,526 square feet and Parcel 3 has a lot area of 4,728 square feet. The required findings to
deviate from the standards and facts in su pport of those findings are as follows:
Finding:
L. The requested deviations will create a land plan or development design equal or superior
to that under the baseline design standards in this Chapter.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed parcels are comparable in width, length, and area with the majority of the
original subdivision block where parcels had widths between 30 and 35 feet and lot
depths between 116 and 156 feet. However, the Property became a single, 125-foot-
wide parcel held together by a covenant agreement which was recorded on April 25,
1983. The other parcels of the southern portion of Block 328 have remained consistent
to the original subdivision. The dimensions of the proposed subdivision are more
consistent with the original subdivision than the existing Property.
2. The proposed subdivision would create lot sizes not less than the original underlying
lots on the same block face (2216 through 2328 Pacific Drive) in the same zoning district.
The proposed subdivision would divide the existing 125-foot-wide, 15,756-square-foot
R-1 parcel into one 54-foot-wide, 6,502-square-foot parcel, and two 35-foot-wide parcels
both under 5,000 square feet, which exceed the sizes of the original underlying lots and
are compatible with the pattern of the surrounding subdivision and neighboring parcels.
3. The existing lot orientation with vehicular access from the alley will be maintained.
Finding:
M. The deviations will not negatively impact the carrying capacity of the local vehicular
circulation network.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Although the proposed subdivision would create two additional parcels in comparison to
the current configuration, the number of parcels decreases by one compared to that of
the original subdivision. Therefore, the requested deviations will not negatively impact
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 8 of 14
01-10-2023
the carrying capacity of the local vehicular circulation network, since the Property was
originally intended for 4 parcels.
2. No improvements or changes are proposed that would cause additional capacity to the
roadways.
Finding:
N. The deviations will not negatively impact pedestrian circulation.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed subdivision will not reduce, encroach or change the size or location of the
Pacific Drive or Avocado Avenue sidewalk. The Public Works Department has
conditioned the Applicant to install one new 36” box tree along the Avocado Avenue
frontage and a new 36” street tree along the Parcel 3 frontage of Pacific Drive as shown
on Condition of Approval No. 16.
2. The proposed subdivision will not eliminate or impede pedestrian circulation provided
that the necessary improvements are in accordance with applicable Public Works design
standards and permitting.
Finding:
O. The resulting subdivision will be compatible with the pattern of surrounding subdivisions.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Fact 1 in support of Finding L is hereby incorporated as reference.
2. The Property is 125 feet wide and 15,756 square feet in area, which is the largest lot
within the same block face. The proposed subdivision would result in one 54-foot-wide,
6,502 square foot lot, and two other 35-foot-wide lots, under five-thousand square feet
which is more compatible with the surrounding lots than the existing configuration.
Finding:
P. The resulting subdivision design and improvements will not be materially detrimental to
the residents or tenants of the proposed subdivision or surrounding properties, nor to
public health or safety.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed subdivision to re-subdivide the existing parcel in a manner more
consistent to the underlying legal lots would allow one unit to be constructed on each
parcel in accordance with the General Plan. The Project does not introduce an
incompatible land use, and the resulting subdivision design would not be detrimental to
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 9 of 14
01-10-2023
the residents as vehicular and pedestrian access would be maintained. Any
development must be in accordance with the conditions of approval and the Municipal
Code. The resulting lot widths are consistent with the lot widths of the original subdivision
or the existing development pattern of the neighborhood.
Coastal Development Permit
In accordance with 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:
Q. 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 the subdivision of an existing parcel for
residential purposes. There is an existing single unit residence developed on the
Property. All future residential development must conform to all applicable development
standards, including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and off -street parking.
Additionally, since the Project is in the Categorical Exclusion Area of the coastal zone,
all future residential development is required to comply with the Categorical Exclusion
Order process through the City and the California Coastal Commission. The Property is
located within the Coastal Commission Appeal Area.
2. The proposed subdivision complies with Coastal Land Use Plan Policy 2.8.1-3, which
states that land divisions shall avoid hazardous areas and minimize risks to life and
property from coastal and other hazards. The Project also complies with
Implementation Plan Section 21.30.025, which states that subdivisions within the
Coastal Zone shall be designed to avoid current hazardous areas, as well as areas that
may become hazardous due to future changes. Additionally, there shall be no division
of land near the shoreline unless the new or reconfigured parcels can be developed
safe from geologic and other hazards for a minimum of 75 years, and unless shoreline
protective devices are prohibited to protect development on the resultant parcels.
3. The Property is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, or public viewpoint as
identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP). The nearest coastal viewpoint is
Begonia Park, approximately 480 feet southeast. The Property is not located within the
view shed of the park.
4. The Project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the Coastal Zone
or to result insignificant adverse impacts to public view.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2026-010
Page 10 of 14
01-10-2023
Finding:
R. Conforms to 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 Property 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
a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact and be
proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project is a subdivision that subdivides a single
parcel into 3 parcels. Although the Project increases the existing single-unit residence into
a potential of three dwelling units (one per each parcel), it is considered a decrease in
density based on the original subdivision, which has the potential of 4 units. 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, when compared to the
original subdivision design. Furthermore, the future residential development is to be
designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede
existing public access opportunities per Title 21 standards.
2. Vertical access to the beach is available adjacent to the site along Carnation Avenue,
approximately 660 feet east of the Property. Lateral access is available to the water,
approximately 560 feet southeast, at the intersection of Bayside Drive and Bayside Place.
The Project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
