ITEM NO.4 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: Based upon the initial study prepared for the Zoning Code Update and pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15168 and 15162, the proposed Zoning Code Update is within the scope of activities and impacts identified within the General Plan 2006 Update Program ER, with the exception of forest resources and greenhouse gasses, and that no new effects have been found and no new mitigation measures are necessary. The initial study has found that the Zoning Code Update will have no impact to forest resources given that there are not forest resources within the City of Newport Beach and there will be a less than significant impact relative upon greenhouse gas emissions. A Negative Declaration (ND) is proposed relative to forest resources and greenhouse gas emissions. The ND was completed and circulated for a mandatory 30 -day public- review period that began on June 20, 2010, and concludes on July 21, 2010.
