The project includes landscape, hardscape, and subsurface drainage facilities all within the confines of the private property. The project complies with all development standards and no deviations from the Municipal Code are requested. RECOMMENDATION 1)Conduct a public hearing; 2)Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or 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; and 3)Adopt Draft Zoning Administrator Resolution No. _ approving Coastal Development Permit No. CD2021-069 (Attachment No. ZA 1). 1 Gunderson Residence (PA2021-268) Zoning Administrator, April 14, 2022 Page 2 DISCUSSION Land Use and Development Standards • The subject property is located in the R-BI Coastal Zoning District, which provides for two-unit residential development and is consistent with the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal development permit is required, and the property is not eligible for a waiver for de minimis development because the property is located in the Coastal Commission Appeal Area. • The property currently consists of one legal lot developed with a single-family residence. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-story story, single-family residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and expected future development consistent with applicable development standards. • The proposed single-family dwelling and accessory structures conform to all applicable development standards, including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and off-street parking as evidenced by the project plans and illustrated in Table 1 below. Table 1 – Development Standards Development Standard Standard Proposed Setbacks (min.) Front 10 feet 10 feet Sides 3 feet 3 feet Rear 5 feet 5 feet Allowable Floor Area (max.) 2,720 square feet 2,718 square feet Allowable 3rd Floor Area (max.) 336 square feet 40 square feet Allowable 3rd Floor Area & Covered (max.) 840 square feet 570 square feet Open Space (min.) 252 square feet 256 square feet Parking (min.) 2-car garage 2-car garage Height (max.) 24-foot flat roof 29-foot sloped roof 24-foot flat roof 29-foot sloped roof Hazards • The property is an oceanfront lot that is separated from the ocean by a public boardwalk and City-owned concrete seawall/bulkhead. The bulkhead which protects the subject property is part of a larger bulkhead system which surrounds Balboa Island. No modification to the existing bulkhead is proposed with this project. • A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by PMA Consulting, Inc. dated October 29, 2021, for the project. The maximum bay water 2 Gunderson Residence (PA2021-268) Zoning Administrator, April 14, 2022 Page 3 elevation is 7.7 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The report analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming a 3-foot increase in the maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the structure). Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.7 feet (NAVD 88) - (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). • The finished floor elevation of the proposed single-family residence is 9.0 feet (NAVD 88), which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard. The Coastal Hazards Report concludes that the bay water elevation (currently 7.7 feet NAVD 88) will not exceed the proposed finished floor elevation around the single-family residence at 9.0 feet (NAVD 88) with flashing and waterproofing up to 23 inches above the top of slab, for the anticipated 75-year life of the structure. Flood shields (sandbags and other methods) can be deployed across the openings to protect flooding to the structure. • Pursuant to 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). The Waiver of Future Protection is included as a condition of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to final building inspection. • The property owner will also 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). The Acknowledgement of Coastal Hazards is included as a condition of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to the issuance of building permits. • 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 a building permit. 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 CBC prior to building permit issuance. Water Quality • The property is located within 100 feet of coastal waters. Pursuant to Section 21.35.030 (Construction Pollution Prevention Plan) of the Municipal Code, a Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) is required to implement temporary 3 Gunderson Residence (PA2021-268) Zoning Administrator, April 14, 2022 Page 4 Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived from construction chemicals and materials. A CPPP has been provided, and construction plans and activities will be required to adhere to the CPPP. • Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan), due to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing more than 75 percent of impervious surface area, a preliminary Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required. A preliminary WQHP has been prepared for the project by RCE Consultants, Inc., dated October 23, 2021. The WQHP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of an LID approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs. Construction plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved WQHP prior to building permit issuance. Public Access and Views • The project site is located between the nearest public road and the sea or shoreline. 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 replaces an existing single-family residence located on a standard R-BI zoned lot with a new single-family residence. 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. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities. • There are no designated public viewpoints or Coastal View Roads near the project site, per the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is the Balboa Yacht Basin, which is approximately 1,300 feet northeast from the project site. The nearest coastal view corridor is Bayside Drive from Marine Avenue to Harbor Island Drive, which is approximately 1,400 feet north from the project site. As currently developed, the existing property and other residences located along North Bay Front are located within these viewsheds. However, due to the distance of the proposed development from public viewpoints and the project’s compliance with all applicable development standards, including height and setbacks, the project will not impact existing coastal views. • Vertical access to the bay front public sidewalk and Newport Bay is available approximately 85 feet east and 185 feet west of the site where North Bay Front intersects Emerald Avenue and Park Avenue. The project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. 4 Gunderson Residence (PA2021-268) Zoning Administrator, April 14, 2022 Page 5 • The front of the proposed residence, which is visible from North Bay Front, contains substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in-keeping with the design guidelines of the Zoning Code and the new structure would comply with required setbacks. Lastly, the design includes modulation of volume throughout the structure. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to existing public views. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three single-family residences and additions of up to 10,000 square feet to existing structures. The proposed project consists of the demolition of one single-family residence and the construction of a new 2,302-square- foot, three-story, single-family residence with an attached 416-square-foot, two-car garage and therefore qualifies within this exemption. There are no known exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 that would invalidate the use of this exemption. 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. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this public hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners and residential occupants of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-way and waterways), including the applicant, and posted on the subject property at least 10 days before the scheduled hearing, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the item appeared on the agenda for this meeting, which was posted at City Hall and on the City website. APPEAL PERIOD: This action shall become final and effective 14 days following the date the Resolution is adopted unless within such time an appeal or call for review is filed with the Community Development Director in accordance with the provisions of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program [LCP] Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS. In accordance with Section 21.52.015 (Coastal Development Permits, Findings and Decision) 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: 1. The proposed development complies with applicable residential development standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking. a. The maximum floor area limitation is 2,720 square feet and the proposed floor area is 2,718 square feet. b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 10 feet along the front property line, 3 feet along the side property lines, and 5 feet along the rear property line. c. The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from established grade (9.00 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD 88]) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from established grade, which comply with the maximum height requirements. d. The project includes garage parking for a total of two (2) vehicles, complying with the minimum two (2)-car garage parking requirement for single-family residences with less than 4,000 square feet of habitable floor area. 2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two (2)- and three (3)-story, single- family residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is 9 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2022-### Page 3 of 10 10-05-2021 consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and expected future development consistent with applicable development standards. 3. The property is an oceanfront lot that is separated from the ocean by a public boardwalk and City-owned concrete seawall/bulkhead. The bulkhead which protects the subject property is part of a larger bulkhead system which surrounds Balboa Island. No modification to the existing bulkhead is proposed with this project. 4. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by PMA Consulting, Inc. dated October 29, 2021, for the project. The maximum bay water elevation is 7.7 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). The report analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming a 3-foot increase in the maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the structure). Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.7 feet (NAVD 88) - (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). 5. The finished floor elevation of the proposed single-family residence is 9.0 feet (NAVD 88), which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD88) elevation standard. The Coastal Hazards Report concludes that the bay water elevation (currently 7.7 feet NAVD 88) will not exceed the proposed finished floor elevation around the single-family residence at 9.0 feet (NAVD 88) with flashing and waterproofing up to 23 inches above the top of slab, for the anticipated 75-year life of the structure. Flood shields (sandbags and other methods) can be deployed across the openings to protect flooding to the structure. 6. The report concludes that flooding, wave runup and erosion will not significantly impact this property over the life of the proposed development. The need for any additional shoreline protective device is not anticipated over the economic life of the proposed development to protect it from flooding, wave runup, or erosion. 7. 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 CBC prior to building permit issuance. 8. The property owner will also 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) – (Waterfront - Development Standards). Both requirements are included as conditions of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to final building inspection, and prior to the issuance of building permits, respectively. The Acknowledgement of Coastal Hazards is included as a condition of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to the issuance of building permits. 10 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2022-### Page 4 of 10 10-05-2021 9. Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) – (Natural Landform and Shoreline Protection), 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). The Waiver of Future Protection is included as a condition of approval that will need to be satisfied prior to final building inspection. 10. The property is located within 100 feet of coastal waters. Pursuant to Section 21.35.030 (Construction Pollution Prevention Plan) of the Municipal Code, a Construction Pollution Prevention Plan (CPPP) is required to implement temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to minimize pollution of runoff and coastal waters derived from construction chemicals and materials. A CPPP has been provided and will be reviewed by the City’s Engineer Geologist. Construction plans and activities will be required to adhere to the approved CPPP. 11. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan), due to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing more than 75 percent of impervious surface area, a preliminary Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required. A preliminary WQHP has been prepared for the project by RCE Consultants, Inc., dated October 23, 2021. The WQHP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of an LID approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs. Construction plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved WQHP prior to building permit issuance. 12. Proposed landscaping complies with Implementation Plan Section 21.30.075. A condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant species. Prior to issuance of building permits, the final landscape plans will be reviewed to verify invasive species are not planted. 13. The front of the proposed residence, which is visible from North Bay Front, contains substantial architectural treatment and visual interest, in-keeping with the design guidelines of the Zoning Code and the new structure would comply with required setbacks. Lastly, the design includes modulation of volume throughout the structure. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to existing public views. Finding: B. Conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act if the project is located 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. Implementation Plan Section 21.30A.040 (Determination of Public Access/Recreation 11 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2022-### Page 5 of 10 10-05-2021 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 replaces an existing single-family residence located on a standard R-BI zoned lot with a new single-family residence. 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. Furthermore, the project is designed and sited (appropriate height, setbacks, etc.) so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities. 2. Vertical access to the bay front public sidewalk and Newport Bay is available approximately 85 feet east and 185 feet west of the site where North Bay Front intersects Emerald Avenue and Park Avenue. The project does not include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. 3. There are no designated public viewpoints or Coastal View Roads near the project site, per the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is the Balboa Yacht Basin, which is approximately 1,300 feet northeast from the project site. The nearest coastal view corridor is Bayside Drive from Marine Avenue to Harbor Island Drive, which is approximately 1,400 feet north from the project site. As currently developed, the existing property and other residences located along North Bay Front are located within these viewsheds. However, due to the distance of the proposed development from public viewpoints and the project’s compliance with all applicable development standards, including height and setbacks, the project will not impact existing coastal views. 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 or 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 Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby approves Coastal Development Permit No. CD2021-069 subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit “A,” which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. 3.
