DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
The subject property is located in the R-1 Coastal Zoning District, which provides for
single-unit residential development and accessory structures, and is consistent with
the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal
development permit is required for the replacement bulkhead and the property is not
eligible for a waiver for de minimis development because the property is located in
the Coastal Commission Appeal Area adjacent to the Newport Bay.
The proposed accessory structures, such as the pool, fencing, and landscaping are
not located adjacent to a bluff or within sensitive habitat. Therefore, these accessory
structures are exempt from the requirements of a coastal development permit
pursuant to Implementation Plan Section 21.52.035 C.1. This coastal development
permit addresses the proposed replacement bulkhead.
The current lot configuration consists of two underlying legal lots as a portion of
“Block P” (“Lots 1 and 2”) of the bay front section of the Balboa Tract, and one legal
lot where the existing single-family residence was constructed. The single lot that
contains the single-family residence was issued a Lot Line Adjustment (LA2004-003)
to create one building site from what was previously two underlying legal lots (Lots 1
and 2 of the East Side Addition to the Balboa Tract). The project has been
conditioned to require the approval and recordation of a lot merger to combine all of
the aforementioned underlying legal lots prior to building permit issuance for the new
improvements. The required lot merger will be exempt from a coastal development
permit as it would not change the intensity or density of the building site. The front
setback is measured from the abandoned right of way line (which will not change),
so there would be no change in the maximum floor area allowed onsite.
The property contains an existing wooden bulkhead with a top of wall height of
approximately 7.41 feet NAVD88, which does not meet the current standard for
minimum top of wall height of 9.82 feet NAVD88 (10.0 MLLW).
The proposed development complies with applicable residential development
standards including, but not limited to location and height.
a. The top of the proposed bulkhead wall would be constructed to 9.82 feet
NAVD88 (10.0 MLLW) in compliance with the Harbor Design Criteria
minimum top of wall height requirement for new bulkheads.
b. The proposed concrete bulkhead would be located inland of the existing
wooden bulkhead. Thus, there would be no seaward encroachment of the
new bulkhead.

Tmplt: 04/03/18
c. The proposed accessory structures comply with the Zoning Code and
Implementation Plan maximum height standards within front setback
areas. The proposed pool, protection fencing, hardscape, and landscaping
are accessory to the existing single-family residence.
Hazards
A Bulkhead Conditions Report for the existing bulkhead was prepared by William
Simpson & Associates, Inc. dated May 5, 2018. The report concludes that the
seawall is required to protect the existing principal structure on the lot. In order to
do so, the existing seawall shall be replaced in accordance with proposed plans.
Once the replacement is completed, no additional repair or replacement of the
seawall is anticipated for the next 75 years.
A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by William
Simpson and Associates, dated May 5, 2018 for the project. The report concludes
that flooding, wave runup and erosion will not significantly impact the property over
the anticipated life of the existing development. The finished floor elevation of the
existing residence is approximately 8.86 feet NAVD88. The report states that future
sea level rise is estimated to reach approximately 8.45 feet NAVD88, co nsidering
a 1.25-foot sea level rise (the low range of projected sea level rise over the 75 -
year design life of the structure based on estimates for sea level rise provided by
the National Research Council 2012 SLR). The current City standard height for
bulkheads is 10.0 feet (MLLW) (9.82 feet (NAVD88)) and the project has been
conditioned to replace the seawall to this elevation standard. Once the existing
seawall/bulkhead is replaced in accordance with the proposed plans, the need for
a new shoreline protective device is not anticipated over the economic life of the
development to protect it from flooding, wave runup, or erosion. If found
inadequate for the actual sea level rise over the next 75 years, the bulkhead
assembly allows for it to be increased in height without further seaward
encroachment. Thus, based on the aforementioned assumptions, the site would
be reasonably safe from future sea level rise.
Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv), the property owner will be required
to enter into an agreement with the City waiving any potential right to protection to
address situations in the future in which the development is threatened with damage
or destruction by coastal hazards (e.g., waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The
property owner will also be required to acknowledge any hazards present at the site
and unconditionally waive any claim to damage or liability against the decision
authority, consistent with NBMC Section 21.30.015(D)(3)(c). Both requirements are
included as conditions of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to the issuance
of building permits for construction.

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
(CBC) and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations
specifically addressing liquefaction, if required by the Building Department, will be
reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of building permits. Permit issuance is
also contingent on the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations.
Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and
CBC prior to building permit issuance.
Water Quality
The property is located along the Newport Bay. A Construction Erosion Control Plan
was provided to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during
construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of
runoff and coastal waters derived by construction chemicals and materials. The
project design also addresses water quality through the inclusion of 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.
Public Access and Views
The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access
bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact,
and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces a wooden
bulkhead with a new pre-cast concrete bulkhead that complies with the minimum
9.82 feet NAVD88 top of wall standard. The project also includes improvements such
as a pool, walls, and hardscaping that are accessory to the existing single-family
residence. Therefore, the project does not involve a change in land use, density or
intensity that will result in increased demand on public access and recreation
opportunities. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height,
setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities.
Vertical access to the bay and beach is available adjacent to the site along H street.
Lateral access is available on the large public beach to the south. All improvements
are located within private property, and the project does not include any features that
would physically obstruct access to the water or beach along these public routes.
The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road or Coastal Viewpoint
as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is located
at the south end of the peninsula and is not visible from the site. The site is located
adjacent to the H Street access point, which is accessible to the public and provides
some limited opportunities to view the bay. As currently developed, the existing
4

property and other residences along H Street are located within the view shed of the
street end. However, the proposed bulkhead (and accessory structures) comply with
all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and maintain a
front setback area consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development.
Additionally, the project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the
visual quality of the coastal zone.
All proposed accessory structures comply with the maximum height restrictions for
front setbacks. All structures would be limited to 42” within the front setback (and
abandoned right of way area), with the exception of pool protection fencing required
for safety, which can reach up to five feet maximum from existing grade as long as
at least 40 percent of the fence or wall is open (Implementation Plan Section
21.40.040 C, 3). These requirements would ensure that views are not obstructed.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15303 - Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
Class 3 exempts the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities
or structures including accessory structures. The proposed project consists of the removal
of an existing bulkhead and construction of a new bulkhead and accessory structures
associated with an existing single-family residence.

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision)
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such
findings are set forth:
Finding:
A. Conforms to all applicable sections of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed development complies with applicable residential development standards
including, but not limited to setbacks and height.
a. The top of the proposed bulkhead wall would be constructed to 9.82 feet
NAVD88 (10.0 MLLW ) in compliance with the Harbor Design Criteria
minimum top of wall height requirement for new bulkheads.
b. The proposed accessory structures comply with the Zoning Code and
Implementation Plan maximum height standards within front setback areas.
2. The proposed concrete bulkhead would be located inland of the existing wooden
bulkhead. Thus, there would be no seaward encroachment of the new bulkhead.
3. A Bulkhead Conditions Report for the existing bulkhead was prepared by William
Simpson & Associates, Inc. dated May 5, 2018. The report concludes that the seawall
is required to protect the existing principal structure on the lot. In order to do so, the
existing seawall shall be replaced in accordance with proposed plans. Once the
replacement is completed, no additional repair or replacement of the seawall is
anticipated for the next 75 years.

4. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by William
Simpson & Associates, dated May 5, 2018 for the project. The report concludes that
flooding, wave runup and erosion will not significantly impact the property over the
anticipated life of the existing development. The finished floor elevation of the existing
residence is approximately 8.86 feet NAVD88. The report states that future sea level
rise is estimated to reach approximately 8.45 feet NAVD88, considering a 1.25-foot sea
level rise (the low range of projected sea level rise over the 75 -year design life of the
structure based on estimates for sea level rise provided by the National Research
Council 2012 SLR). The current City standard height for bulkheads is 10.0 feet (MLLW )
(9.82 feet (NAVD88)) and the project has been conditioned to replace the seawall to this
elevation standard. Once the existing seawall/bulkhead is replaced in accordance with
the proposed plans, the need for a new shoreline protective device is not anticipated
over the economic life of the development to protect it from flooding, wave runup, or
erosion. If found inadequate for the actual sea level rise over the next 75 years, the
bulkhead assembly allows for it to be increased in height without further seaward
encroachment. Thus, based on the aforementioned assumptions, the site would be
reasonably safe from future sea level rise.
5. Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv), the property owner will be required to
enter into an agreement with the City waiving any potential right to protection to address
situations in the future in which the development is threatened with damage or destruction
by coastal hazards (e.g., waves, erosion, and sea level rise). The property owner will also
be required to acknowledge any hazards present at the site and unconditionally waive any
claim to damage or liability against the decision authority, consistent with NBMC Section
21.30.015(D)(3)(c). Both requirements are included as conditions of approval that will need
to be satisfied prior to the issuance of building permits for construction.
6. 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 (CBC)
and Building Division standards and policies. Geotechnical investigations specifically
addressing liquefaction, if required by the Building Department, will be reviewed and
approved prior to the issuance of building permits. Permit issuance is also contingent on
the inclusion of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are
reviewed for compliance with approved investigations and CBC prior to building permit
issuance.
7. The property is located along the Newport Bay. A Construction Erosion Control Plan was
provided to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction
to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal
waters derived by construction chemicals and materials. The project design also
addresses water quality through the inclusion of 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.

8. Proposed landscaping complies with Implementation Plan Section 21.30.075. A
condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant species. Prior to issuance
of building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed to verify in vasive species
are not planted.
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.
Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 requires that the provision of public access
bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the project’s impact, and
be proportional to the impact. In this case, the project replaces a wooden bulkhead with
a new pre-cast concrete bulkhead that complies with the minimum 9.82 feet NAVD88
top of wall standard. The project also includes improvements such as a pool, walls, and
hardscaping that are accessory to the existing single-family residence. Therefore, the
project does not involve a change in land use, density or intensity that will result in
increased demand on public access and recreation opportunities. Furthermore, the
project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or
impede existing public access opportunities.
2. Vertical access to the bay and beach is available adjacent to the site along H street.
Lateral access is available on the large public beach to the south. All improvements are
located within private property, and the project does not include any features that would
physically obstruct access to the water or beach along these public routes.
3. The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road or Coastal Viewpoint as
identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is located at
the south end of the peninsula and is not visible from the site. The site is located
adjacent to the H Street access point, which is accessible to the public and provides
some limited opportunities to view the bay. As currently developed, the existing
property and other residences along H Street are located within the view shed of the
street end. However, the proposed bulkhead (and accessory structures) comply with
all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and maintain a
front setback area consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development.
Additionally, the project does not contain any unique features that could degrade the
visual quality of the coastal zone.
4. All proposed accessory structures comply with the maximum height restrictions for front
setbacks. All structures would be limited to 42” within the front setback (and abandoned
right of way area), with the exception of pool protection fencing required for safety,
which can reach up to five feet maximum from existing grade as long as at least 40
percent of the fence or wall is open (Implementation Plan Section 21.40.040 C, 3).
These requirements would ensure that views are not obstructed.

EXHIBIT “A”
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved site plan,
bulkhead plans, and elevations stamped and dated with the date of this approval (except
as modified by applicable conditions of approval).
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, an agreement in a form approved by the City
Attorney between the property owner and the City shall be executed and recorded
waiving rights to the construction of future shoreline protection devices including the
repair and maintenance, enhancement, reinforcement, or any other activity affecting the
bulkhead, that results in any encroachment seaward of the authorized footprint of the
bulkhead or other shoreline protective device. The agreement shall be binding against
the property owners and successors and assigns.
3. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall submit a notarized
signed letter acknowledging all hazards present at the site, assuming the risk of injury
or damage from such hazards, unconditionally waiving any claims of damage against
the City from such hazards, and to indemnify and hold harmless City, its City Council, its
boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any
and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation,
attorney’s fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which
may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to City’s approval of
development.
4. Prior to the issuance of building permits, a lot merger shall be approved and recorded
to merge the existing underlying legal lots (APN 048-231-40 and 048-231-41).
5. No demolition or construction materials, equipment debris, or waste, shall be placed or
stored in a location that would enter sensitive habitat, receiving waters, or a storm drain
or result in impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas, streams, the beach,
wetlands or their buffers.
6. This approval does not authorize any new or existing improvements (including
landscaping) on State tidelands, public beaches, or the public right -of-way.
7. This Coastal Development Permit does not authorize any development seaward of the
private property.
8. Grading, brush removal, building demolition, tree trimming, and similar construction
activities shall occur between August 16 and January 31. If such activities must occur
inside the peak nesting season (from February 1 to August 15), compliance with the
following is required to prevent the taking of Native Birds pursuant to the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act (MBTA):
13
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ####
Page 7 of 9
05-15-2018
A. The construction area shall be inspected for active nests. If birds are observed flying
from a nest or sitting on a nest, it can be assumed that the nest is active. Construction
activity within 300 feet of an active nest shall be delayed until the nest is no longer
active. Continue to observe the nest until the chicks have left the nest and activity is
no longer observed. When the nest is no longer active, construction activity can
continue in the nest area.
B. The applicant is responsible for compliance with the MBTA. It is a violation of state and
federal law to kill or harm a native bird. To ensure compliance, consider hiring a
biologist to assist with the survey for nesting birds, and to determine when it is safe to
commence construction activities. If an active nest is found, one or two short follow-up
surveys will be necessary to check on the nest and determine when the nest is no
longer active.
9. Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and Good Housekeeping Practices (GHP’s) shall
be implemented prior to and throughout the duration of construction activity as
designated in the Construction Erosion Control Plan.
10. The discharge of any hazardous materials into storm sewer systems or receiving waters
shall be prohibited. Machinery and equipment shall be maintained and washed in
confined areas specifically designed to control runoff. A designated fueling and vehicle
maintenance area with appropriate berms and protection to prevent spillage shall be
provided as far away from storm drain systems or receiving waters as possible.
11. Debris from demolition shall be removed from work areas each day and removed from
the project site within 24 hours of the completion of the project. Stock piles and
construction materials shall be covered, enclosed on all sites, not stored in contact with
the soil, and located as far away as possible from drain inlets and any waterway.

of each construction day. Solid waste, including excess concrete, shall be disposed in
adequate disposal facilities at a legal disposal site or recycled at a recycling facility.
13. Revisions to the approved plans may require a n amendment to this Coastal
Development Permit or the processing of a new coastal development permit.
14. The project is subject to all applicable City ordinances, policies, and standards, unless
specifically waived or modified by the conditions of approval.
15. The applicant shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Material violation of
any of those laws in connection with the use may be cause for revocation of this Coastal
Development Permit.
16. This Coastal Development Permit may be modified or revoked by the Zoning
Administrator if determined that the proposed uses or conditions under which it is being
operated or maintained is detrimental to the public health, welfare or materially injurious
to property or improvements in the vicinity or if the property is operated or maintained
so as to constitute a public nuisance.
