ITEM NO. 2 AERIE Condominiums (PA2005 -196)
201 & 207 Carnation Avenue and 101 Bayside Place in Corona del Mar at the
corner of the intersection of Ocean Blvd. & Carnation Ave.
SUMMARY: The demolition of an existing 14 -unit apartment building and a single - family home
and the construction of a 6- level, 8 -unit multiple - family residential condominium
complex with subterranean parking on a 1.4 acre site located bayward of the
intarsection of Ocean Boulevard and Carnation Avenue. The existing General
Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan and Zoning Designations of a small portion of the
site (584 square feet) would be changed to be consistent with the larger portion of
the site (from two- family residential to multi - family residential). The application
includes a tentative tract map for the creation of eight (8) condominium units for
individual sale. The Modification Permit application requests the encroachment of
subterranean portions of the building within the front and side yard setbacks and
above grade encroachments of portions of the proposed building, including
protective guardrails into the front and side yard setbacks. Lastly, the Coastal
Residential Development Permit application relates to replacement of demolished
apartments occupied by low or moderate income households. No units meeting
these criteria are known to exist, and therefore, no replacement of affordable
housing units is required.
A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) (SCH #2007021054) has been
prepared by the City of Newport Beach in connection with the application. The
DEIR concludes that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the
environment on Air Quality, Land Use, Noise, Traffic/Circulation, Aesthetics,
Drainage and Hydrology, Public Health and Safety, Cultural Resources, Soils and
Geology, and Biological Resources.
ACTION: 1) Conduct public hearing; and
2) Consider the draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), comments and
responses to comments; and
3) Adopt the attached draft resolution recommending City Council certification
of the DEIR and approval of the project.
CEQA
COMPLIANCE: All other environmental effects were determined to be less than significant or have
no impact and were also addressed in the DEIR. The DEIR has been prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as
amended (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), and the State CEQA
Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Section 15000 et seq.).
