• A single-family residence was demolished and will be replaced with a new two-
unit duplex that will provide the code required two-car parking per unit.
• Approval and recordation of the Tentative Parcel Map will allow each unit to be
sold individually.
• The property is designated for two-unit residential use by the General Plan and
Zoning Code. The new two-unit dwelling is consistent with this designation and a
tentative parcel map for condominiums does not change the use or density on
the property.
• The new condominium project will conform to current Newport Beach Municipal
Code requirements and meet all Title 19 standards.
• Public improvements will be required of the applicant per the Municipal Code and
Subdivision Map Act.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15315, of the State CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines - Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions). The Class 15
exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential,
commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in
conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was
not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcel
does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The Tentative Parcel Map is
for condominium purposes and is consistent with all of the requirements of the Class 15
exemption.
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice of this application was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of
property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-
way and waterways), including the applicant, and posted on the subject property at least
10 days before the scheduled hearing, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal
Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted

2. The applicant proposes a tentative parcel map application for two-unit condominium
purposes. No waiver of Title 19 (Subdivisions) design standards are proposed with this

3. The subject property is located within the Two-Unit Residential (R-2) Zoning District and
the General Plan Land Use Element category is Two-Unit Residential (RT).
4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use category
is Two-Unit Residential (RT-E).
5. A public hearing was held on November 21, 2016 in the Corona del Mar Conference
Room (Bay E-1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time,
place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport Beach
Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by,
the Zoning Administrator at this meeting.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project has been determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to the State
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines under Class 15 (Minor Land
Divisions).
2. The Class 15 exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for
residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is
in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was
not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
The Zoning Administrator determined in this case that the Tentative Parcel Map is consistent
with the legislative intent of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) 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-family residence was demolished and will be replaced with a new two-unit
duplex. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the
density of the R-2 Zoning District and the current RT General Plan Land Use
Designation.
2. The Tentative Parcel Map does not apply to any specific plan area.
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 a two-unit development because it is regular in
shape and is relatively flat.
2. The subject property is accessible from 33`d Street and an 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
neither 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
considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the environmental impact report.
03-03-2015
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-###
Page 3 of 8
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The site was previously developed with a single-family residence which has been
demolished and will be replaced with a new two-unit duplex.
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 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 co dominium 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
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-###
Page 4of8
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.
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.

g
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2016-###
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 duplex 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 existi-' require mentsprescribed by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1 . The new two-unit duplex will be designed so that wastewater discharge into the
existing sewer system complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) requirements.
Finding:
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 located within the Coastal Zone. The subdivision conforms
to the Local Coastal Program since the Coastal Land Use category is Two-Unit
Residential (RT-D).
2. The project is not located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline
of any body of water located within the coastal zone; therefore, the public access
and recreation policies of chapter 3 of the Coastal Act are not applicable.
