REQUIRED FINDINGS. The Zoning Administrator determined, in this case, that the Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and is approved based on the following findings per Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps) of Title 19: Finding: A. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Tentative Parcel Map is for two-unit residential condominium purposes. A single- unit dwelling was demolished and will be replaced with a two-unit duplex. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the density of the R-2 Zoning District and the current "Two-Unit Residential" General Plan Land Use Designation. 2. The Tentative Parcel Map does not apply to any specific plan area. 3. The project has been conditioned to require public improvements, including the reconstruction of existing broken or otherwise damaged sidewalks, curbs, and gutters along the Marigold Avenue frontage consistent with the Subdivision Code (Title 19). Finding: B. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The lot is physically suitable for two-unit development because it is regular in shape and is relatively flat. 2. The subject property is accessible from Marigold Avenue and the alley at the rear, and is adequately served by existing utilities. Finding: C. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision-making body may nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was prepared for the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 21081 of the California Environmental Quality Act that specific economic, social, or other 03-03-2015 g Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2015-0## Page 3 of 8 considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The site was developed with a single-unit dwelling and will be replaced with a new two-unit dwelling. 2. The property is located in an urbanized area that does not contain any sensitive vegetation or habitat. 3. The project is categorically exempt under Section 15315 (Article 19 of Chapter 3), of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines — Class 15 (Minor Land Alterations). Finding: D. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Tentative Parcel Map is for residential condominium purposes. All improvements associated with the project will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes, which are in place to prevent serious public health problems. Public improvements will be required of the developer per Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 (Local agencies to regulate and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied with. Finding: E. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision-making body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided and that these easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within a subdivision. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of property within the proposed development, because there are no public easements located on the property. 03-03-2015 9 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2015-0## Page 4 of 8 Finding: F. That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will result in residential development incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the land. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the subject property is not designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area. 2. The site, developed for residential use, lies in a Zoning District that permits residential uses. Finding: G. That, in the case of a "land project' as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code: (1) there is an adopted specific plan for the area to be included within the land project; and (2) the decision-making body finds that the proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for the area. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The property is not a "land project' as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code because the existing subdivision does not contain fifty (50) or more parcels. 2. The project is not located within a specific plan area. Finding: H. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The Tentative Parcel Map and any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California Building Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach Building Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection process. 03-03-2015 2� Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2015-0## Page 5 of 8 Finding: I. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's share of the regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed two-unit dwelling is consistent with the R-2 Zoning District which allows two (2) residential units on the property. Therefore, the Tentative Parcel Map for condominium purposes will not affect the City in meeting its regional housing need. Finding: J. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The new two-unit dwelling will be designed so that wastewater discharge into the existing sewer system complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. Finding: ZiLwW1. K. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The subject property is not located within the Coastal Zone. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Tentative Parcel Map No. NP2015-003, subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 2.

City of Newport Beach Attn: Jason Van Patten Anonymous regarding Public Hearing Thursday May 14 at 3:30 Activity number NP2015-003 Two Unit Residential on property zoned for single family home I live in the Flower streets of Corona del Mar. I question the practice of making a single family property into a duplex with the potential of up to 6 occupants and parking required given our already crowded streets. Are we creating a split Corona del Mar where the Ocean side a.k.a. the wet side is single family and the side where Project file PA2015-046 is for duplexes only allowing maximum profit for developers who don't have a long term interest for the village at heart. This is counter productive to the intention that Corona del Mar be a separate village small community. Hopefully these issues will be carefully considered at the meeting.
