HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, June 09, 2022, at 6:30 p.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 Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
22nd Street Lofts - The applicant requests to demolish three existing structures and construct a new three-story mixed-use building. The new mixed-use building will consist of one commercial condominium (2,647 sf) containing three suites on the ground floor and three residential condominium units (7,073 sf) on the second and third levels. The project includes a floor area ratio increase from 0.75 to 1.0 for the residential component of the project pursuant to Senate Bill No. 478 (SB 478), which requires local jurisdictions to allow a floor area ratio of at least 1.0 for housing development projects of 3 to seven units. The project includes the following application requests:
• A site development review is requested to allow the construction of a mixed-use structure and to increase the allowed height from the base height limit of 26 feet for flat roofs and 31 feet for sloping roofs to a height limit of 35 feet within the shoreline height limitation area.
• A conditional use permit is requested to waive seven of the 10 required parking spaces for the commercial use. The design complies with residential parking standards by providing two covered spaces and one guest space per unit.
• A coastal development permit is requested to allow development within the coastal zone and to increase the allowed height from the base height limit of 26 feet for flat roofs and 31 feet for sloping roofs to a height limit of 35 feet within the shoreline height limitation area.
• A tentative parcel map is requested to merge three underlying legal lots and to allow for each residential unit and the commercial component to be sold separately as condominiums.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15303-Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and Section 15315- Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) 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 Chapters 19.12, 20.64, and 21.64. A fee is required to appeal any final action on a coastal development permit to the City Council. The project site is located within the appeal area of the coastal zone; therefore, final action by the City 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 Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/planningcommission. Individuals not able to attend 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 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately prior to the meeting.
