Background On August 8, 2000, the City Council approved the General Plan Amendment 99 -2 and Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No. 55 to redesignate the property at 1514 Balboa Boulevard from Governmental, Educational, Institutional and Facilitates (GEIF) to Two Family Residential (R -2).

Analysis The Coastal Commission staff requested the City revise the resolution to include the required findings as follows: (A)That the public and affected agencies have had ample opportunity to participate in the LCPA process. (B) That all policies, objectives, and standards of the LCPA conform to the requirements of the Coastal Act, including that the land use plan, as amended, is in conformance with and adequate to carry out the Chapter Three policies of the Coastal Act. (C) That Coastal Act policies concerning specific coastal resources, hazard areas, coastal access concems, and land use priorities have been applied to determine the type, locations, and intensity of land and water uses. (D) That the level and pattern of development proposed be reflected in the Land Use Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map. (E) That a procedure has been established to ensure adequate notice of interested persons and agencies of impending development proposed after certification of the LCPA. (F) That zoning measures are in place (prior to or concurrent with the LCPA), which are in conformance with and adequate to carry out the coastal policies of the Land Use Plan. All of the findings required by the Coastal Commission can be made and staff has incorporated the Coastal Commission's required findings into the attached draft resolution for approval of LCPA No. 55. Once approved by the City Council, the resolution will then be forwarded to the Coastal Commission for final certification. Submitted by: PATRICIA L.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM LAND USE PLAN AND SUBMISSION TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION [LCP NO. 551 WHEREAS, An application has been filed proposing the redesignation of the property located at 1514 Balboa Boulevard from Governmental, Educational, Institutional and Facilitates (GEIF) to Two Family Residential (R -2); and, WHEREAS, On July 6, 2000, 1998, the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach held a public hearing on Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) LCP No. 55 and recommended approval; and WHEREAS, On August 8, 2000, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach held a public hearing on Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 and approved the request; and WHEREAS, The public was duly noticed of the public hearings in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code and State Law; and, WHEREAS, Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, it has been determined that the proposed amendment is categorically exempt under a Class 3 Exemption, New Construction; and WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Newport Beach finds that the project is consistent with the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the California Coastal Act as follows: Section 1. That the public and affected agencies have had ample opportunity to participate in the LCPA process. The required public notification was provided for this application in accordance with City and State law. Section 2. That all policies, objectives, and standards of the LCPA conform to the requirements of the Coastal Act, including that the land use plan as amended is in conformance with and adequate to carry out the Chapter Three policies of the Coastal Act. The redesignation of the vacant subject property is consistent with Chapter Three, in that non - residential uses are not suitable for this site, given its small size and its location adjacent to the SCE substation. The site does not abut the water. The site is insufficient in size to provide adequate off- street parking for non - residential uses. The site has R -2 residential development to the south and across the street. The redesignation of the subject site to R -2 would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses and development in the area. Section 3. That Coastal Act policies concerning specific coastal resources, hazard areas, coastal access concerns, and land use priorities have been applied to determine the type, locations, and intensity of land and water uses. The site contains no coastal resources or hazards. The project will not interfere with the public's right of access to coastal resources as the site does not abut the Pacific Ocean, Newport Bay or other coastal resource. The site will not reasonably serve a public access function as there is vertical public access to Newport Bay provided just south of the site on 151h Street and additional access through the subject property is not needed. The resignation of the site to R -2 will not interfere with the marinas, docking facilities or boating facilities in the area, since any new development must comply with the required on site parking standards setbacks, height and other related City regulations. Non - residential uses are not suitable for this site, given its small size and its location adjacent to the SCE substation. The site is insufficient in size to provide adequate off - street parking for non- residential uses; therefore the R -2 designation is the most appropriate use and intensity for the subject site. Section 4. That the level and pattern of development proposed is reflected in the Land Use Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map. The site has R -2 residential development to the south and across the street. The R -2 designation allows a maximum density of a duplex on the site. All new development must comply with the required on -site parking standards setbacks, height and other related City regulations. Section 5. That a procedure has been established to ensure adequate notice of interested persons and agencies of impending development proposed after certification of the LCPA. The Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan amendment shall be implemented in a manner fully in conformity with the Coastal Act, including proper notification. All new development will be subject to R -2 regulations of the City. Section 6. That zoning measures are in place (prior to or concurrent with the LCPA), which are in conformance with and adequate to carry out the coastal policies of the Land Use Plan. The City has rezoned the site to R -2 concurrent with the General Plan and LCPA applications to be consistent. Section 7. The City's certified Land Use Plan, including this amendment shall be implemented in a manner fully in conformity with the Coastal Act. Section 8. The Planning Director is hereby directed to submit Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 to the California Coastal Commission for review and approval. Section 9. The change of the land use designation of the subject property located at 1514 Balboa Boulevard from Governmental, Educational, Institutional and Facilitates (GEIF) to Two Family Residential (R -2); shall only become effective upon the approval of Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 by the California Coastal Commission. Section 10. Pursuant to Section 13518 of the California Code of Regulations this Land Use Plan amendment shall take effect automatically upon Coastal Commission action unless the Coastal Commission proposes suggested modifications. In the event that the Coastal Commission proposes revisions, this Land Use Plan amendment shall not take effect until the City Council adopts the Commission modifications and all the requirements of Section 13544 of the California Code of Regulations are met.
