in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section

ORDINANCE NO. 2016-_
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE
NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO
CERTAIN FRONT YARD SETBACKS
WHEREAS, pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") Section
20.66.020 the City Council initiated a code amendment on January 12, 2016, to reduce
the front yard setback for three properties from twenty feet to five feet, consistent with
the historic front yard setback for these properties. The five foot setback was
inadvertently left off Setback Map S-2B in the 2010 Zoning Code update and this
amendment revises Setback Map S-2B Balboa Peninsula in NBMC Section 20.80.040
to restore the five foot setback for the residential properties located at 3008, 3010, and
3012 Balboa Boulevard;
WHEREAS, on February 18, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing in the City Hall Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport
Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of the public hearing was given in
accordance with the NBMC and Ralph M. Brown Act. Evidence, both written and oral,
was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this public hearing;
WHEREAS, at the February 18, 2016, public hearing, the Planning Commission
received public comments and on an affirmative motion (5 ayes, 2 absent, and 0 noes),
forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed amendment;
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on March 22, 2016, in the
Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time,
place and purpose of the public hearing was given in accordance with the NBMC.
Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council
at this public hearing;
WHEREAS, the subject properties will remain consistent with the General Plan,
Coastal Land Use Plan, and Zoning Code designation of Two-Unit Residential (R-2)
with the code amendment to reduce the front setbacks;
WHEREAS, the standard front setback for properties zoned Two-Unit Residential
(R-2) is twenty feet pursuant to NBMC Section 20.18.030 Table 2-3, unless a different
distance is depicted on a setback map. In the pre-2010 Zoning Code the three subject
properties were within the Specific Plan SP-6 (R-2) Zone which applied a five foot front
yard setback for these properties. When the specific plan was dissolved into the
standard R-2 Zone with the 2010 Zoning Code Update, these were the only properties
that did not have the five foot front setback carried over on the setback maps. This lack
of five foot front setback carryover was inadvertent and this code amendment corrects
the prior error;
3-5
Ordinance No. 201_-
Page 2 of
WHEREAS, amending the setback map to reinstate the five foot front yard
setback does not result in a significant change to the existing development pattern of
the neighborhood since two of the three properties are built with the five foot front yard
setback. Additionally, most of the properties that were previously zoned SP-6 (R-2) are
also built with the five foot front yard setback. Thus, this code amendment allows the
properties to maintain their existing uses and remain consistent with adjacent
properties: and
WHEREAS, the twenty foot front setback not only affects building placement, but
also impacts buildable area and ultimately the maximum size of a single-family or two-
family home on the properties. Therefore, the development limits of the subject
properties have been unintentionally restrained and reinstating the five foot front
setback is necessary to return property rights back to the property owners.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ordains as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council hereby approves Code Amendment No. CA2015-
011 amending Setback Map S-2B of NBMC Title 20 (Zoning Code) reducing the front
yard setback from twenty feet to five feet for the three residential properties located at
3008, 3010, and 3012 Balboa Boulevard as set forth in Exhibit "A," which is attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall
not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each
section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any
one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid
or unconstitutional.
Section 3: The City Council finds the introduction and approval of this
ordinance is categorically exempt under Section 15305, of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines - Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations)
because the three residential properties affected by this amendment have an average
slope of less than 20 percent; the amendment will not change the land use category or
zoning district of the affected residential properties; and the maximum number of
dwelling units per property will not change.
Section 4: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage
of this ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance, or a summary thereof, to be
published pursuant to City Charter Section 414, and it shall be effective thirty (30) days
after its adoption.
