HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, January 16, 2020, at 3:00 p.m. or soon thereafter as
the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Corona del Mar Conference Room
(Bay E-1st Floor) at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. The Zoning Administrator of the City of
Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Dolphin Rental Newport Beach Boat Rental- A request for a limited term permit (more than 90 days)
and associated coastal development permit (CDP) to allow the temporary operation of an electric boat
rental business for up to one year. The electric boats will be docked within existing slips accessible from
the property. A maximum of one employee, three electric boats, and two electric water bicycles will be
used by the operation at any time. The proposed hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., daily.
Parking will be provided on-site and shared with the existing restaurant (Mr. G’s Bistro at Newport
Peninsula) located on the property.
The project is categorically exempt under Sections 15301 and 15304, of the State CEQA (California
Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines - Class 1 (Existing Facilities) and Class 4 (Minor Alterations to
Land), respectively.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony in regard to this application. If you challenge
this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in
written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or prior to, the public hearing. The application may be
continued to a specific future meeting date, and if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the
continuance will not be provided. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport
Beach Municipal Code Chapters 20.64 (Appeals) and 21.64 (Appeals and Calls for Review). Fees are
required to appeal any final action on the applications to the Planning Commission or City Council. The
project site is located within the appeal area of the coastal zone; therefore, final action by the City to
approve a Coastal Development Permit may be appealed to the California Coastal Commission.
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the
Friday preceding the public hearing, and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department
Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of

the meeting may contact the Planning Division or access the City’s website after the meeting to review
the action on this application. All mail or written communications (including email) from the public,
residents, or applicants regarding an agenda item must be submitted by 5 p.m. on the business day
immediately prior to the meeting. This allows time for the Zoning Administrator to adequately consider
the submitted correspondence.
