CD2020-122, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW THREE (3)-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH A JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AND AUTHORIZE THE SUBDIVISION OF TWO (2) PARCELS WITH A VARIANCE TO MINIMUMRESOLUTION NO. ZA2020-078 A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA APPROVING COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. CD2020-122, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW THREE (3)-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH A JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AND AUTHORIZE THE SUBDIVISION OF TWO (2) PARCELS WITH A VARIANCE TO MINIMUM LOT WIDTH REQUIREMENTS AT 400 SOUTH BAY FRONT (PA2020-208) THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS. 1. An application was filed by Brandon Architects (“Applicant”), on behalf of South Bayfront Waterpointe, LLC (“Owner”), with respect to property located at 400 South Bay Front, and legally described as Parcel 1 of Parcel Map No. 83-710, requesting approval of a coastal development permit. The proposed legal description of the lot is Parcel 1 of Tentative Parcel Map No. 2018-162. 2. The Applicant proposes to construct a new three (3)-story single-family residence with attached garage consisting of 2,807 square feet on a vacant lot. The proposal includes an attached junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) of 311 square feet, hardscape, walls, landscaping, and drainage facilities. A Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is required to allow for the proposed development and to authorize the previously approved subdivision that created two (2) lots (NP2019-004 - PA2019-063) under the Local Coastal Implementation Plan. A variance to Title 21 is required as the proposed project does not meet the minimum lot width identified in Section 21.18.030 (Residential Coastal Zoning Districts General Development Standards). 3. The subject property is located within the R-BI (Two-Unit Residential, Balboa Island) Zoning District and the General Plan Land Use Element category is RT (Two Unit Residential). 4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone and has a Coastal Land Use Designation of RT-E (Two-Unit Residential) (30.0 - 39.9 DU/AC) and a Coastal Zoning District of RB-I (Two-Unit Residential, Balboa Island). 5. A public hearing was held on February 28, 2019, at which time the Zoning Administrator approved CD2018-073 (PA2018-170) authorizing the demolition of two (2) existing multi- unit structures containing a total of five (5) units. A building permit to demolish the structures was issued on April 4, 2019. 6. A public hearing was held on June 13, 2019, at which time the Zoning Administrator approved NP2019-004 and CD2019-016 (PA2019-063) authorizing a tentative parcel map and CDP for the construction of a single-family residence and parcel map. The parcel map Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 2 of 14 divided the subject lot into two (2) parcels. However, on July 17, 2019 (received July 22, 2019) the CDP was appealed by the Coastal Commission and in January 2020, the applicant withdrew the CDP application. However, the tentative parcel map was approved and became effective on June 28, 2019 (prior to the Coastal Commission’s action). The approved Tentative Parcel Map that became effective June 28, 2019, was not recorded as Coastal Development permit No. CD2019-016 (PA2019-063), which authorized the subdivision as development under Title 21 was withdrawn. Thus, the current coastal development permit request includes the previously authorized tentative parcel map No. NP2019-004 (PA2019-063) pursuant to Title 21. Additionally, a variance to Title 21 standards is required to waive the minimum lot width requirements. 7. A public hearing was held online on December 10, 2020, i observing restrictions due to the Declaration of a State Emergency and Proclamation of Local Emergency related to COVID-19. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this hearing. SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION. 1. This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15303, Division 6, Chapter 3, of the CEQA Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2. Class 3 exempts the construction of up to six (6) dwelling units in urbanized areas. The proposed project consists of the construction of a new 3,118-square-foot single-family residence and attached two (2)-car garage with a junior accessory dwelling unit above. 3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The project location does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource. SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. Coastal Development Permit In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits) 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: Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 3 of 14 1. The Coastal Development Permit is for a property within a developed neighborhood, on a lot that is not near any natural landforms including coastal bluffs and is not within the proximity of any environmentally sensitive areas. The property is separated from Newport Bay by a public boardwalk and bulkhead. 2. The proposed structure conforms to all applicable development standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking: a. The maximum floor area limitation is 3,188 square feet and the proposed gross floor area is 3,118 square feet. The maximum floor area for the JADU is 500 square feet, and the proposed JADU is 308 square feet. b. The proposed development (including JADU) will provide the required setbacks, which are zero feet along the front property line abutting the b oardwalk, 3 feet along the side property lines, and 5 feet along the rear property line abutting the alley. c. The highest flat roof is no more than 24 feet, measured from the finished floor level of 9.00 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) and the highest roof ridge is no more than 29 feet, measured from the finished floor level, which complies with the maximum height limitation. d. The project includes enclosed garage parking for t wo (2) vehicles, which complies with the minimum two (2)-space parking requirement for single-family residences with less than 4,000 square feet of livable floor area. No additional parking is required for the JADU. 3. The project is conditioned to require the recordation of a deed restriction that will prohibit the use of the JADU for short term rentals (i.e. less than 30 days) and will also prohibit the sale of the JADU separate from the principal dwelling. 4. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and applicable development standards, as the neighborhood is predominantly developed with two (2) and three (3)- story, single-family residences and mixed-use buildings along Agate Avenue. 5. The property is a bay front lot that is separated from the ocean by a public boardwalk and City-owned concrete bulkhead. A Coastal Hazards and Sea Level Rise report, dated December 5, 2019, was prepared for the project by GeoSoils, Inc. followed by a Coastal Hazards and Sea Level Rise Supplement dated September 22, 2020. The Coastal Hazards and Sea Level Rise supplemental report was provided to evaluate coastal hazard implications of the subdivision (NP2019-004). 6. The current maximum bay water elevation is 7.7 (NAVD88) and would not exceed the existing 8.96 feet (NAVD88) top of bulkhead elevation during high tide or storm events. The report analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming a 2.9 -foot increase in the Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 4 of 14 maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the structure). Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.65 feet (NAVD88) - (the likely range for sea level rise over 75-year design life of the structure based on low risk aversion estimates for sea level rise provided by the State of California, Sea Level Rise Guidance: 2018 Update). As conditioned, a waterproofing curb or other waterproof material is required and proposed be constructed around the perimeter of the dwelling that would protect against flooding up to an elevation of 10.65 feet (NAVD88). Flood shields (sand bags and other barriers) can be deployed across the openings to protect and prevent flooding to the structure. 7. According to the Coastal Hazards Report and Supplement, future sea level rise of 1.3 or greater would result in overtopping of the existing bulkhead which is at 8.96 feet (NAVD88). Most of the streets on Balboa Island are approximately 6.5 feet (NAVD88), and the flooding of Balboa Island is an existing coastal hazard. The public boardwalk is continuous and provides public access around the entire island. A new or higher shoreline protective device is not currently needed to protect the proposed structure, but it is already necessary to protect the existing buildings, streets, and the boardwalk. The existing bulkhead is owned by the City of Newport Beach and the adjacent property owner is not able to increase the height of the bulkhead as part of this CDP. If the City adopts comprehensive sea level rise adaptation strategies to protect the public streets and public access areas, then the property owner will also be protected as a result. As a condition of approval, the property owner will be required to waive their rights to future protection devices. 8. Pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (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). Therefore, the proposed The property owner will 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. 9. Pursuant to the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Policy 21.30.025, proposed subdivisions shall be designed to avoid current hazardous areas as well as areas that may become hazardous as a result of sea level rise. The policy also states that no division of land near the bay shall be permitted unless the reconfigured parcels can be developed safe from hazards for a minimum of 75 years and shoreline protective devices are prohibited to protect development on the resultant parcels. LCP Policies 2.8.1-2 and 2.8.1-3 also suggest that new development should be sited to avoid hazardous areas and minimize risks to life and property from hazards. The previously existing residential structure on the lot had a finished floor of approximately 7.43 feet (NAVD88), which is lower than the maximum bay water elevation of 7.7 feet (NAVD88). The proposed project would construct new residences and junior accessory units that would comply with both FEMA and City minimum finished floor requirements of at least 9.0 feet (NAVD88). As conditioned, the proposed project would also include waterproofing up to 10.65 feet (NAVD88), which would increase the number of years that the structure is protected. The project represents Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 5 of 14 an improvement from previously existing conditions and provides critical housing opportunities in the coastal zone beyond the minimum required by the IP and Zoning Code. 10. The proposed subdivision into two (2) lots represents a return to the original tract map configuration and is not considered a traditional subdivision. In this case, the original site from 1910 (Map of Resubdivision of Section One of Balboa Island) established two (2) lots of approximately the same size for this site. It was not until 1983, 73 years later, that the two (2) lots were combined under one (1) ownership as Parcel Map No. 83-710. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is not a standard subdivision that creates new parcels, but rather a map that reestablishes the original pattern of development of Balboa Island. 11. LUP Policy 2.8.6-7 discourages shoreline protective devices on public land that protect private property and development. However, in this case, the City bulkhead is existing and is necessary to protect public access around Balboa Island as well as the low-lying streets. If the City were to abandon the streets and public access areas in the future for Balboa Island (due to sea level rise), then that decision would be part of a much larger adaptation plan involving thousands of stakeholders and oversight by the California Coastal Commission. 12. The finished floor elevation of the first floor of the proposed structure is 9.00 feet (NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures. 13. 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 are required to 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 the CBC prior to building permit issuance. 14. A post-construction drainage system will be installed that includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain runoff on-site to ensure the project does not impact water quality. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system. 15. The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion control plan that outlines temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation, and to minimize pollution of runoff derived by construction chemicals and materials. No water quality impacts to coastal waters are anticipated based upon the location and elevation of the property. 16. New landscaping will be verified for compliance with NBMC Section 21.30.075 (Landscaping). A condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant and prohibits invasive species. Prior to issuance of the building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed to verify invasive species are not planted. Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 6 of 14 Finding: B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Cha pter 3 of the Coastal Act if the project is between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline; however, the project will not affect the public’s ability to gain access to use and/or view the coast and nearby recreational facilities due to its location and orientation. The proposed residential development neither provides nor inhibits public coastal access. Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation Impacts) 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 includes the construction of a new three (3)-story, single-family residence and JADU. The existing and proposed use of the site is residential, and the number of dwelling units on the property would not be increased as part of the project. 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. 2. The project is designed and sited so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities. All proposed encroachments into the public right of way would be required to comply with City Council Policy L-6 which limits the height and extent of encroachments and plantings to limit impacts to views and access. There is an existing 6-foot high wooden fence along the boardwalk that would be removed as part of the project to conform with the City’s current standards for encroachments, and would reduce the visual bulk of the site. Coastal access is currently provided and will continue to be provided by street ends throughout the neighborhood with access to the public boardwalk along the waterfront. 3. The previously demolished residential structure encroached into the front, rear, and side setbacks, where the proposed single-family residence and JADU would comply with required setbacks, thereby providing additional visual relief from the property lines. The proposed structure would provide setbacks greater than the code requirements, especially within the front setback on the Bay Front where the setback is zero and the structure provides approximately 8 to 13 feet. The upper levels are also setback, with open balconies, overhangs, and roof deck. The proposed design also limits size and location of the enclosed third floor area and concentrates the bulk within the center of the site. 4. The previously approved tentative parcel map (NP2019-004) allowed the two (2) lots to be returned to their original two (2) -lot configuration with a property line between the two (2) proposed structures. The return to the original configuration creates a 6-foot distance between the two (2) principal structures due to the 3-foot side yard setbacks that would be implemented as part of the project. Therefore, the coastal development permit required to implement the approval parcel map would comply with Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 7 of 14 5. The property is not located near coastal view roads. The property is located within the viewshed of the Balboa Island Park, which is an identified public beach or park (Coastal Views Map 4-3). However, the park provides limited views to the subject site from the southwest corner of the park and the existing and proposed uses are residential. The project is also visible from the Ferry, which is not a designated viewpoint but provides views of the harbor and surrounding shoreline. The project would update the existing aesthetics of the lot by providing a new updated building that complies with the City’s Design Guidelines. Therefore, the project would not degrade the quality of the coastal zone and associated public views. Coastal Variance In accordance with Section 21.52.090 (Relief from Implementation Plan Development Standards) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth: Finding: C. The granting of the variance is necessary due to special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, and/or other physical features, the strict application of the development standards otherwise applicable to the property denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and in the same coastal zoning district; and Facts in Support of Finding: 1. The subject property is located on Balboa Island. There are approximately 1,330 residential parcels in the R-BI zone on Balboa Island and Little Balboa Island. Of these parcels, more than 95 percent are of a uniform rectangular shape with a 30-foot width and 85-foot depth, with a resulting area of approximately 2,550 square feet. The subject property is regular in shape with a 60-foot width and 86.35-foot depth, resulting in approximately 5,181 square feet. The size and shape of the existing lot is unique for Balboa Island and not representative of the pattern of development and typical lot configurations in the area. There are fewer than ten (10) parcels within the R-BI zoning district with similar lot widths and areas. The strict application of the 50 -foot (interior) and 60-foot (corner) lot width requirements would deny the owner the privilege to have a structure on a 30 foot wide lot, a privilege enjoyed by the vast majority of other property owners in the same R-BI zoning district. 2. Balboa Island consists of mainly small lots of approximately 2,550 square feet, which is compliant with the minimum lot size for residential development of 2,375 square feet. The minimum lot size of 2,375 square feet does not support a minimum lot width of 50 or 60 feet, since the depth of such a lot would only be 47.5 feet or 39.5 feet deep, respectively. A lot that is 50 feet wide and 2,375 square feet would not be consistent with the pattern of development on Balboa Island, yet it would comply with both of the Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 8 of 14 minimum lot standards. Therefore, relief to the minimum width is necessary to mirror the pattern of development on the island. 3. The property location is on Balboa Island surrounded by other lots that were originally created as part of the Tract, “Map of Resubdivision of Section One of Balboa Island” established two (2) lots of approximately the same size (30.48 feet by 86.54 feet deep) for this site. It was not until 1983, 73 years later, that the two (2) lots were combined under one (1) ownership as Parcel Map No. 83-710. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is intended to return the property to the original configuration established for the island. Finding: D. The modification or variance complies with the findings required to approve a coastal development permit in Section 21.52.015(F); Fact in Support of Finding: 1. A reduction to the minimum lot width requirements for a resubdivision would not impact coastal views or access. Compliance with LCP policies is addressed under Finding A and coastal views and access are addressed under Finding B. Finding: E. The modification or variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impedes public access to and along the sea or shoreline and to coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs; Fact in Support of Finding: 1. As discussed under Finding B, the proposed variance to the minimum lot width would allow the creation of an interior lot line. The existing boardwalk along the front of the property would not be impacted and any encroachments within the public right of way would be required to comply with City Council Policy L-6. The proposed project would remove non-conforming features within the boardwalk area which would improve public access and views along the boardwalk. Finding: F. The modification or variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impairs public views to and along the sea or shoreline or to coastal bluffs and other scenic coastal areas; Fact in Support of Finding: 1. The variance to the minimum lot width requirements would allow the construction of two (2) single family residences (and JADUs) in lieu of a larger structure over the proposed Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2020-078 Page 9 of 14 lot lines. The proposed project would provide additional interior setbacks and would meet current development and design standards. Additional facts are provided under Finding B. Finding: G. The modification or variance will not result in development that has an adverse effect, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources, including wetlands, sensitive habitat, vegetation, or wildlife species; and Fact in Support of Finding: 1. The proposed project and subdivision are located entirely on developed land and would not result in adverse effects to coastal resources. Minor rain runoff would be retained on-site to ensure the project does not impact water quality. Any water not retained would be directed to the City’s storm drain system. The project would also implement BMPs during construction to reduce any short term impacts to water quality of the Bay. Finding: H. The granting of the modification or variance will not be contrary to, or in conflict with, the purpose of this Implementation Plan, nor to the applicable policies of the certified Local Coastal Program. Facts in Support of Finding: 1. Compliance with LCP Policies and the IP is evaluated under Finding A and B. SECTION 4. DECISION. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby finds this project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction and Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. 2.

The applicant is responsible for compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In compliance with the (MBTA), grading, brush removal, building demolition, tree trimming, and similar construction activities shall occur between August 16 and January 31, outside of the peak nesting period. 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 MBTA: 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. 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 (1) or two (2) short follow-up surveys will be necessary to check on the nest and determine when the nest is no longer active. 22. To the fullest extent permitted by law, applicant shall indemnify, defend 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 the South Bayfront Waterpointe, LLC.
