ITEM NO.1 Zoning Code Update (PA2009 -034)
SUMMARY: The City of Newport Beach is considering a comprehensive update of the Zoning
Code for the purpose of implementing the 2006 update of the General Plan. The
Zoning Code is a regulatory document that implements many General Plan polices
related to land use and development.
CEQA
COMPLIANCE: An Initial Study has been prepared for the Project and concludes that there is no
substantial evidence that the Zoning Code Update (the Project) would have
significant impacts that have not been adequately addressed in the General Plan EIR
or that the Project would have significant impacts related to forest lands or
greenhouse gas emissions. This is primarily due to the fact that as an implementing
program for the General Plan, the Project does not propose or authorize any specific
development projects. The Project is a compilation of land use regulations that will be
applied to future development and land use activities. Accordingly, the City has
prepared a Negative Declaration for the proposed Zoning Code Update. In
accordance with CEQA, this Negative Declaration tiers from the General Plan EIR.
ACTION:
1) Conduct public hearing; and
2) Continue to June 29, 2010
