Code requirements and meet all Title 19 (Subdivision) standards.
• Public improvements will be required of the applicant per the Municipal Code and
Subdivision Map Act.
• The applicant will be subject to a fee for park dedication in accordance with the
provisions of Section 19.52 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

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 percent. The proposed parcel
map is for condominium purposes and is consistent with all of the requirements of the
Class 15 exemption.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
The Zoning Administrator determined in this case that the proposed parcel map is consistent
with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and is approved
based on the following findings per Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on
Tentative Maps) of Title 19:
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:
A -1. The proposed parcel map is for two -unit condominium purposes. An existing single -
family residence will be demolished and replaced with a new two -unit duplex. The
proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the density of the R -2
Zoning District and the current General Plan Land Use Designation 'Two -Unit
Residential ".
Finding:
B. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
B -1. The lot is physically suitable for two -unit development because it is regular in shape
and has a slope of less than 20 percent.
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.

Facts in Support of Finding:
C -1. This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it qualifies for a Class
15 categorical exemption pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations
(Section 15315, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act). The Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) 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, 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 percent. The proposed parcel map is for condominium purposes and is
consistent with all of the requirements of the Class 15 exemption.
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:
D -1. The proposed parcel map is for residential condominium purposes. All construction for
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 Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) of the
Municipal Code 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 for 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 established by 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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
E -1. The design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired by the public
at large, for access through, or use of property within the proposed development,
because there are no public easements located on the property.

Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013-

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
subdivision 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:
F -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.
F -2. The site will be developed for a residential use and is zoned for residential uses.
Finding:
G. That, in the case of a "land project' as defined in SectioTY'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:
G -1. The property is not a "land project' as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California
Business and Professions Code because the existing subdivision does not contain 50
or more parcels.
G -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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
H -1. The proposed parcel map and improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California
Building Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling
efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach Building
Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection process.
10
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013-
Paqe 5 of 9
Findinq:
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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 -1. The two -unit duplex is consistent with the R -2 Zoning District which allows two units on
the property. Therefore, the parcel map for condominium purposes will not affect the
City in meeting its regional housing need.
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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
J -1. Wastewater discharge into the existing sewer system has been designed to comply
with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
Finding:
K. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision
conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public
access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act.
Facts in Support of Finding:
K -1. The proposed parcel map is for a two -unit condominium. The proposed subdivision
and improvements are consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan designation RT -D
(Two -Unit Residential).
K -2. The subject property conforms to public access policies of Chapter Three of the
Coastal Act because the development maintains public access from the nearest public
roadway to the shoreline and along the coast.
K -3. Recreation policies contained within Chapter Three of the Coastal Act are not
applicable to the subject property.
