4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Single-Unit Residential Detached — 0.0 — 5.9 DU/AC (RT-E) and the Coastal
Zoning District is Single-Unit Residential (R-1).
5. A public hearing was held on April 13, 2017, 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.

Regulations (Section 15301, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Existing Facilities).

Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2017-026
Page 2 of 5
Finding:
A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The subject property is currently developed with a single-family home on an existing lot
designated for residential development by the Local Coastal Program. The project
applicant requests to demolish the existing single-family residence. Subsequent
construction of a new single-family residence will require a separate Coastal Development
Permit at a later date.
2. The property is located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity and
liquefaction. All projects are required to comply with the California Building Code and
Building Division standards and policies.
3. The property is located within 100 feet of coastal waters. The project design addresses
water quality with a construction erosion control plan and a post construction drainage
system that includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and
minor rain event run-off on-site. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City's
storm drain system.
4. The property is not located near designated Public View Points or Coastal View Roads
and will not impact public coastal views.
Finding:
B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the
Coastal Act if the project is located between the nearest public road and the sea or
shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline and
demolition of the existing residence will not affect public recreation or access. Developed
in 1926, Harbor Island is a 35-lot single-family community on a private island located
between Linda Isle and Collins Island. A gated bridge connects Harbor Island to the
mainland at the end of Harbor Island Road. The shoreline consists mainly of bulkheads.
The State, through the adoption of Chapter 715, Statutes of 1984, found that tidelands
surrounding Harbor Island are generally inaccessible to the public and not suitable for
public trust uses.
