HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, May 28, 2020, at 10:00 am 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:
La Plante Family Trust Mixed-Use Remodel and Addition - A request for a coastal development permit (CDP)
to allow the renovation of an existing nonconforming mixed-use building. The project generally includes installing
small landscape planters on the ground floor level, reconfiguring and refreshing the existing commercial storefront,
remodeling the residential second floor, and constructing a third-story addition with a roof deck. The project would
result in a net addition of 65 square feet of residential floor area bringing the total gross floor area of the building
to 3,158 square feet. The CDP is required since the project will increase the height of the existing structure by
more than 10 percent.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301 - Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the State CEQA
(California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines.
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.
