AN OINANCE OF THE CITY OF N& , BEACH AMENDING / SECTION 9105.2 OF THE NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO HEIGHT LIMITS The City, Council of the City of Newport Beach does. ordain as follows: SECTION 1. Section 9105.2 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code is amended to read: "SECTION 9105.2. Height Limits: (a) Chimneys, cupolas, flag poles , parapet walls, rail- ings , monuments, radio and other towers , water tanks, and similar structures and mechanical appurtenances may be per- mitted in excess of height limits , subject to first securing a Use Permit in each case. Parapet walls , safety railings, and vents which are required by law shall be permitted in excess of height limits to the extent required without the requirement of a Use Permit. (b) No fence, wall, hedge or screen planting of any kind shall hereafter be constructed or grown to exceed six (6) feet in height within any required side yard to the rear of the front line of any main building or in any required rear yard nor to exceed three (3) feet in height in any required side yard between the front property line and- the required front setback line or in any required front yard or within fifteen (15) feet of the corner of any intersecting street rights of way; provided, however', that ' in cases where there is a difference of six (6) feet or more in elevation between the building sites of abut- ting lots , no fence, wall, hedge or screen planting shall hereafter be constructed or grown in any yard area of the lower lot adjacent to the lot line of the higher lot to a height in excess of three (3) feet above the elevation of the building site of the higher lot. Where lots or build- ing sites are laid out or planned to border a street -and overlook a waterway, beach or bluff, fences , when required as a protective device for a swimming pool or when needed to protect against a hazardous or unsafe condition existing because of topography, may be permitted in excess of three (3) feet, but not to exceed five (5) feet, in those front yards specified in Section 9105.4 (h) subject to first secur- ing a Use Permit in each case. The Planning Commission may, by resolution, adopt such general standards or conditions for its guidance as' it deems necessary to insure to the adjacent property owners the full use of their land." SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be published once in the official newspaper of the City, and the same shall be effective 30 days after the date of its adoption. This ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Newport .Beach held on the 1 day of Febroar L 1966, and was adopted on the day of 9 rc , 1966, by the following vote, to wit,.

'; , t of the Newport Beach Municipal , Code: relating to. •','Height ); Limit of Fences in Front Yards " . PROCEDURE FOLLOWED BY PLANNING COMMISSION : { Notice of public hearing was duly published in the Newport Harbor Ensign on December 22 , 1965 and public hearings were conducted on January 6i 1966 , February 39 1966 and February 17 , 1966 . FINDINGS OF PLANNING COMMISSION Section 9105 .4(h ) sets forth in part the following : "In the case of subdivisions where lots or building sites are laid out or planned to border a street and overlook a waterway , beach or bluff, the portion of such lots bordering the street may be considered the rea.r yard for purposes of location , construction or maintenance of main or accessory, , . • buildings , provided that. al'l of the lots in a block conform to this pattern" . , Since the rear yard becomes that portion of the lot abutting a street, the front yard becomes that portion of the lot overlooking a waterway , beach or bluff. Rear yard setbacks are 6 ' in most new subdivisions and front yard setbacks vary from three (3) feet to twenty ( 20) feet , or more . Section 9105 . 2 ( b ) of the zoning ordinance prohibits in front yards fences in excess of three (3) feet, which would prevent the location of a swimming , : . • pool in front yards because of a building ordinance requirement that a pool , for safety purposes , must have a minimum of a five ( 5) foot fence surrounding it. In addition to the desire of property owners to have swimming pools in front yards in subdivisions of these types , the Planning Commission also recognizes that fences in excess of three (3 ) feet should be pre- . mitted in order to prevent small children from falling into the bay or over a cliff. Portions of the Dover Shores development i % a good example where a hazardous condition of this type exists . Recognizing the hardship imposed , the Planning Commission has concluded that fences in excess of three ( 3 ) feet should oe allowed in front yards and is recommending that Section 9105 . 2 be amended to read "----Where lots or building sites are laid out- or planned to border a street and overlook a waterway , beach or bluff , fences , when required as a pro- tective device for a swimming pool or when needed to protect against a, hazardous or unsafe condition existing because of topography, ;raay_._b_P_...-.. • .:- . ��,::j:'`}1' '•�� .'i.:l.lr''• � '1, '���• °x•�r, •''t'''�� i,,bl iL' `,1.(F 41 To: City Council - Page 3 By order of the Chairman David W.

It is mainly through him and his actions that the reputation of the entire department is formed in the minds of the public. If he is efficient and courteous, the building department will be better supported and aided by bUlders and others: On the other hand if his inspection work is haphazard and incomplete the department is likely to be censured and not trusted by the public or builder. There is a certain amount of responsibility attached to the duty of building inspector at all times. It can ordinarily be said that the larger and more important the building, the greater the responsibility of the building inspector. Minimum responsibility may be attached to the inspection of a small dwelling and probably maximum responsibility . to the inspection of a large auditorium or grandstand where several thousand people may assemble. There is sometimes a tendency to enforce personal ideas about how things should be done., In doing this the inspector removes himself from ' the protection of the code and becomes personally responsible for any damage done by his acts in requiring something which is illegal. In- spection by the city building department is not equivalent to superin- tendence on the job. If the latter is inadequate or lacking it is not safe to assume that the building department will supply the need. Municipal inspection concerns itself only with compliance with building and related codes. Those who superintend the job are responsible for the proper sequence of operations, method••of carrying out each step in construction, safety measures, and many other details which building codes do not regulate. The building inspector must be thoroughly familiar with all of the . codes and ordinances which he is required to enforce. In addition to the building code this may include familiarity with a zoning ordinance, state housing regulations, a sign ordinance, and others. In some localities a single inspector will inspect the plumbing, heating and electrical installations in addition to the building structure and therefore must be familiar with these phases of building also. Many times the building inspector will come into contact with the representatives of the health, firs, light or other department or agency. He should cooperate fully with these other agencies for often they can be of assistance to him as well as he to them. An overlapping of authority and responsibility between other departments and the building department sometimes exists, making cooperation witn other departments essential. The plans used in the construction of a building are of prime impor- tance to the field inspector. It is his responsibility to see that structures are erected in compliance with the approved plans. Ordinarily he has no authority to permit a deviation from the approved plans except 1 in the case of minor deviations such•as the shifting of a non-bearing .{ partition, etc. It is very important that the field inspector insist upon the approved set of plans being at the job at all times. A very serious error can be made by working and checking from a set of plans not approved by the department. The plans should be referred to when- ever necessary. In the case of a frame dwelling it may be necessary to ' consult the plans only two or three times, once when the setback and foundation are checked and once when the rough framing is being checked. On the other hand, in a large structure it will .normally be necessary to refer to the plans during each inspection* t I . t f, CONFLICTING CODE REQUIREMENTS IN CHAPTER 33 of U.B.C.

If he is efficient and courteous, the building department will be better supported and aided by bhilders and others.' On the other hand if his inspection work is haphazard and incomplete the department is likely to be censured and not trusted by the public or builder. There is a certain amount of responsibility attached to the duty of building inspector at all times. It can ordinarily be said that the larger and more important the building, the greater the responsibility ' of the building inspector. Minimum responsibility may be attached to the inspection of a small dwelling and probably maximum responsibility to the inspection of a large auditorium or grandstand where several thousand people may assemble. There is sometimes a tendency to enforce personal ideas about how things should be done., In doing this the inspector removes himself from ' the protection of the code and becomes personally responsible for any damage done by his acts in requiring something which is illegal. In- spection by the city building department is not equivalent to superin- tendence on the job. If the latter is inadequate or lacking it is not safe to assume that the building department will supply the need. Municipal inspection concerns itself only with compliance with building and related codes. Those who superintend the job are responsible for the proper sequence of operations, method• of carrying out each step in construction, safety measures, and many other details which building codes do not regulate. The building inspector must be thoroughly familiar with all of the . codes and ordinances which he is required to enforce. In addition to the building code this may include familiarity with a zoning ordinance, state housing regulations, a sign ordinance, and others. In some localitibs a single inspector will inspect the plumbing, heating and electrical installations in addition to the building structure and therefore must be familiar with these phases of building also. Many times the building inspector will come into contact with the representatives of the health, fire, light or other department or agency. He should cooperate fully with these other agencies for often they can be of assistance to him as well as he to them. An overlapping of authority and responsibility between other departments and the building department sometimes exists, making cooperation witn other departments essential. The plans used in the construction of a building are of prime impor- tance to the field inspector. It is his responsibility to see that structures are erected in compliance with the approved plans. Ordinarily he has no authority to permit a deviation from the approved plans except in the case of minor deviations such •as the shifting of a non-bearing. partition, etc. It is very important that the field inspector insist upon the approved set of plans being at the job at all times. A very serious error can be made by working and checking from a set of plans not approved by the department. The plans should be referred to when- ever necessary. In the case of a frame dwelling it may be necessary to consult the plans only two or three times, once when the setback and foundation are checked and once when the rough framing is being checked: On the other hand, in a large structure it will normally be necessary to refer to the plans during each inspection. i { i I ' I ' 1 i 1 i 6 • 1 � t I i , : � ' �, it ' '' ;j•�; ,•i.'
