HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, May 28, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. or soon thereafter as the matter
shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport
Beach. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Stewart Residence - A request for a coastal development permit to replace an existing flat roof with a sloped
roof and to remodel an existing non-conforming two-unit residence. The height of the existing structure will
increase by approximately 6 feet (30 percent). The project complies with maximum height standards and no
additional square footage is proposed. The existing duplex is non-conforming because it is a two-unit dwelling
located in the R-1 zoning district and only provides two parking spaces where two are required per dwelling unit.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, of the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality
Act) Guidelines – Class 1 (Existing Facilities).
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 Chapter
21.64. Fees are required to appeal any final action on a Coastal Development Permit 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.
