RECOMMENDATION: a) Find that all significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in previously certified environmental documents; and b) Introduce Ordinance No. 2016-20, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Amending the Local Coastal Program, Title 21 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, by Increasing the Maximum Allowable Floor Area for the Lido House Hotel Project Located at 3300 Newport Boulevard and 475 32nd Street (PA2016-061), and pass to second reading on December 13, 2016. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: In September 2014, the City Council authorized a ground lease and entitlements for the Lido House Hotel. The approved 130 -room hotel was limited to 98,725 gross square feet. 3-1 Coastal IP Amendment for the Lido House Hotel Floor Area Expansion November 22, 2016 Page 2 Vicinity Map I Ir l sl5f IJyrrr� Ji T is y f4 .w ris y5` .J I 11 In July of 2016, the City Council approved General Plan Amendment No. GP2016-001, Coastal Land Use Plan Amendment No. LC2016-001, Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2016-003, and all project entitlements to increase the total gross floor area of the hotel by 4,745 square feet making the hotel 103,470 square feet in size. The Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP) amendment was submitted to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for review. Coastal Commission staff has determined the application complete; however, they want to process the IP amendment with the CLUP amendment, so the two actions would represent a full Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment. The proposed IP amendment will provide a maximum allowed development of 103,470 square feet and is consistent with the previously approved amendments. The change is reflected in Table 21.20-2 of NBMC Section 21.20.030 (Commercial Coastal Zoning Districts General Development Standards). The amendment is shown below with deleted text shown in strikethre l`vh and added text underlined: 3-2 Coastal IP Amendment for the Lido House Hotel Floor Area Expansion November 22, 2016 Page 3 TABLE 21.20-2 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL COASTAL ZONING DISTRICTS Development CC CG CM CN CV CV -LV OG Additional Requirements Feature Floor Area Ratio or Maximum Limit 0.75 0.75 0.50 0.30 1.50 103,470s 1.30 (2) (3) (4) (4) 1 he specific floor area limitations for each coastal zoning district are identitied on the Coastal Zoning Map. Amendments to Title 21 do not require public hearings or review by the Planning Commission; however, the Planning Commission did review the proposed expansion of the Lido House Hotel previously and recommended approval. This IP Amendment will be submitted with the previously approved CLUP Amendment for review by the CCC. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: All significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in previously certified environmental documents. The City prepared and certified an Environmental Impact Report for the Lido House Hotel (SCH#2013111022) on September 9, 2014. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15164, the City prepared and adopted Addendum 1 to the Lido House Hotel Environmental Impact Report for the 4,745 square -foot increase (Resolution No. 2016-88). The analysis provided in the Addendum concluded that no new environmental impacts and no impacts of greater severity would result from approval and implementation of the larger hotel project. The subject action simply amends the IP so that it is consistent with the prior amendments and does not authorize additional intensity of development beyond that previously considered by Addendum 1 and authorized by GP2016-001, LC2016-001, and CA2016- 003.
