INTRODUCTION
Project Setting
Bay Island is a 5.5-acre legal lot in the Newport Harbor with 24 individual building sites.
Bay Island is located on the north end of Island Avenue on the Balboa Peninsula where
it is accessible by a gated pedestrian bridge. The Island is currently developed with 23
single-family homes, a caretaker’s residence currently utilized as a clubhouse, and
shared open space, and recreational areas. The homes are predominately two and three
stories in height. With the exception of golf carts, vehicles are not permitted on Bay Island.
Vehicular parking for residents is provided off-site at 501 West Bay Avenue, where a 49-
space parking structure is owned in common by Bay Island residents.
Background
Bay Island was established over 100 years ago as a recreational club and developed as
a residential island over the years. Accessed only by a pedestrian bridge, there are no
vehicles allowed on the island. Accordingly, Bay Island has a long history of off-site
parking that is provided in a parking garage located at 501 W. Bay Avenue.
On November 24, 1997, the City Council approved Use Permit No. UP3618 (Attachment
No. PC 2). The Use Permit implemented a Planned Residential Development Overlay
District, which modified the Multi-Family Residential (MFR) zoning and development
regulations for Bay Island. It created a development plan that included a maximum of 25
residential units (24 single-family building sites plus one residential caretaker site) and
authorized off-site parking. The purpose of Use Permit No. UP3618 is to ensure that future
development maintains the single-family detached character of Bay Island.
On July 25, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2006-76 adopting a
comprehensive General Plan Update. With the adoption of the updated General Plan, the
density of Bay Island was inadvertently decreased to a maximum of 23 residential dwelling
units based on the existing number of dwellings that existed on the Bay Island at the time;
however, the caretaker’s unit was not taken into account, nor the fact that one dwelling is
currently constructed over two authorized building sites.
Project Description
The applicant is requesting approval to amend the maximum density allowed on Bay Island
from 23 units to 25 units, consistent with previous entitlements. The following approvals are
requested or required from the City of Newport Beach to implement the project as proposed:
5
• General Plan Amendment No. GP2022-001 – An amendment to the Land Use
Element of the General Plan increasing the maximum development limit specified on
Figure LU4 for Bay Island from 23 dwelling units to 25 dwelling units;
• Local Coastal Program Amendment No. LC2022-003 – An amendment to the Local
Coastal Program Implementation Plan (Title 21) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(“NBMC”) increasing the maximum development limit specified on the Coastal Zoning
Map for Bay Island 23 dwelling units to 25 dwelling units; and
• Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2022-005 – An amendment to the Zoning Code
(Title 20) of the NBMC increasing the maximum development limit specified on the
Zoning Map for Bay Island from 23 dwelling units to 25 dwelling units.
DISCUSSION
Analysis
Amendments to the General Plan Land Use Plan and Zoning Code are legislative acts.
Neither City nor State Planning Law sets forth specific required findings for approval or
denial of such amendments. However, when making a recommendation to the City
Council, the Planning Commission should consider applicable policies and development
standards to ensure internal consistency.
Approval of these amendments would allow the applicant to utilize the site as it was
originally entitled in 1997 through Use Permit No. UP3618; with a maximum of 25
residential units.
General Plan
Bay Island is a single property with two General Plan Land Use designations. The building
sites on the island are designated Multiple Residential Detached (RM-D) and the common
areas are designated Open Space (OS). Th RM-D designation is intended to provide
primarily for multi-family residential development exclusively containing detached
dwelling units. This amendment will apply to the RM-D designated areas only, and the
amended residential density will remain consistent with this designation. The OS
designation is intended to provide areas for a range of public and private uses to protect,
maintain, and enhance the community’s natural resources. This amendment does not
change the OS designation.
Charter Section 423 (Measure S) Analysis
Pursuant to City Charter Section 423 and Council Policy A-18, proposed General Plan
amendments are reviewed to determine if a vote of the electorate would be required
because a project (separately or cumulatively with other projects in the same Statistical
Area over the prior 10 years) exceeds certain thresholds provided in Section 423 of the
City Charter. The proposed General Plan Amendment is in Statistical Area D3 and there
6
are no prior amendments approved less than 10 years ago. The Table 1 below shows the
increases attributable to the subject amendment thereby demonstrating that no vote
would be required.

Local Coastal Plan
The Multiple Residential (RM) Coastal Zoning District is intended to provide for areas
appropriate for multi-unit residential developments containing attached or detached
dwelling units. The project does not propose a change to the RM Coastal Zoning District
designation but corrects an error in the maximum number of dwelling units at Bay Island.
Portions of Bay Island that are within the Open Space (OS) Coastal Zoning District will
not be affected by the proposed amendment.
Future redevelopment at Bay Island, including construction or demolition of any dwelling
units would continue to require conformance with applicable RM Coastal Zoning District
development and parking standards and would require discretionary approval through a
coastal development permit. Approval of a coastal development permit requires
consistency with all applicable section of the Local Coastal Program, including, but not
limited to, policies related to water quality, public access and views, and coastal hazards.
Zoning Code
The Multiple Residential (RM) Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate
for multi-unit residential developments containing attached or detached dwelling units.
The project does not propose a change to the RM Zoning District but corrects an error in
the maximum number of dwelling units at Bay Island. Further, the existing Use Permit No.
UP3618 entitled a maximum of 25 dwelling units on Bay Island.
The stated purpose and intent of the Zoning Code is to carry out the policies of the City
of Newport Beach General Plan. Consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning
Code designation is critical to ensure orderly development and enforcement. Under the
existing Zoning Map, the subject property could only be developed with a maximum of 23
dwelling units, despite the previously approved UP3618 allowing for up to 25 dwelling
units. The requested amendment would update the zoning map to allow up to 25 dwelling
7
units at Bay Island, consistent with the previous entitlement, and correcting the error
made in previous General Plan and Zoning Code updates.
SB18 Tribal Consultation Guidelines
Pursuant to Section 65352.3 of the California Government Code, a local government is
required to contact the appropriate tribes identified by the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) each time it considers a proposal to adopt or amend the General
Plan. If requested by any tribe, the local government must consult for the purpose of
preserving or mitigating impacts to cultural resources. Twelve tribe contacts were
provided notice on June 23 2022. Section 65352.3 of the California Government Code
requires 90 days to allow tribe contacts to respond to the request to consult unless the
tribe contacts mutually agree to a shorter time period. To date, the City has received one
response from Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation, requesting a
consultation. This process will be completed prior to final action by the City Council.
Alternatives
Alternatives to the recommended amendments could include disapproval of the request
and retention of the existing General Plan, Zoning Code, and Local Coastal Program
Implementation Plan maximum development limits restricting Bay Island to a maximum
of 23 residential units.
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, Division 6, Chapter 3, because
it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
Class 3 exempts the construction of up to three single-family residences. The project
would authorize the future development of up to two additional single-family residences
at Bay Island and therefore qualifies within this exemption. The exceptions to this
categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. 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 hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners 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 meeting, 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.

2. Bay Island is a 5.5-acre legal lot in the Newport Harbor individual building sites for single-
family residences that is accessible by a gated pedestrian bridge. With the exception of
golf carts, vehicles are not permitted on Bay Island. Bay Island is currently developed
with 23 single-family homes and shared open space, recreational areas, and a
caretaker’s unit, which currently functions as a clubhouse.
3. On November 24, 1997, the City Council approved Use Permit No. UP3618 to implement
a Planned Residential Development Overlay District, which modified the Multi-Family
Residential (MFR) zoning and development regulations for Bay Island and created a
development plan that included a maximum of 25 residential units (24 single-family building
sites plus one residential caretaker site) and authorized off-site parking. The purpose of
Use Permit No. UP3618 is to ensure that future development maintains the single-family
detached character of Bay Island.
4. On July 25, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2006-76 adopting a
comprehensive 2006 General Plan Update (“General Plan Update”). With the adoption of
the General Plan Update, the density of Bay Island was inadvertently decreased to a
maximum of 23 residential dwelling units based on the number of dwellings that existed on
the Bay Island at that time; however, the caretaker’s unit was one dwelling that is
constructed over two authorized building sites were omitted.
5. The Applicant is requesting approval to correct the maximum density allowed on Bay Island
from 23 units to 25 units, consistent with Use Permit No. UP3618. The following approvals
are requested or required from the City of Newport Beach (“City”) to implement the project
as proposed:
• General Plan Amendment No. GP2022-001 – An amendment to the Land Use
Element of the General Plan correcting the development limit specified for Bay
Island from 23 dwelling units maximum to 25 dwelling units maximum;
13
• Local Coastal Program Amendment No. LC2022-003 – An amendment to the

Plan Land Use Element category is Multiple Residential Detached (RM-D).
7. The Property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan category is
Multiple-Unit Residential – 10.0 – 19.9 DU/AC (RM-C) and the Coastal Zoning District is
Multiple Residential (RM).
8. A public hearing was held on September 8, 2022, in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. A notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing was
given in accordance with the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the Planning Commission at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. 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, Division 6, Chapter 3,
because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment.
2. Class 3 exempts the construction of up to three single-family residences. The project
would authorize the future development of up to two additional single-family residences
at Bay Island and therefore qualifies within this exemption.
3. The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable.
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

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
General Plan, Zoning Code, and Local Coastal Program Amendments
1. Amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Code, and Local Coastal Program are
legislative acts. Neither the City nor State Planning Law set forth any required findings
for either approval or denial of such amendments.
2. Section 8 of City Council Resolution No. 2006-76 states that General Plan texts, exhibits,
figures, and plan map may be corrected without further amendment. This provision
applies only to errors of fact, language consistency between elements and policies,
calculations and/or scribe’s errors. In this case, the Bay Island unit count was
erroneously decreased by two units (from 25 to 23 units) during the 2006 General Plan
update and reflected in subsequent Zoning Code and Local Coastal Program updates.
3. The correction of the proper development limits will return the maximum residential
density of Bay Island to 25 units, consistent with the prior entitlement under UP3618.
This will return development rights to the property owners of Bay Island. There is no
proposed increase beyond prior approved entitlements.
4. The additional dwelling units will not significantly reduce increase bulk and massing of
development on Bay Island, which remain subject to development standards set forth in
the NBMC and UP3618.
5. The development on Bay Island would remain consistent with remaining and unchanged
applicable standards of the RM Coastal Zoning District and UP3618, which set forth
development standards including setbacks, height, floor area limitations, and parking
standards.

Subject:FW: Bay Island housing increase.

Subject: Bay Island housing increase.
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
I oppose the increasing of housing on Bay Island from 23 to 25. When the City of Newport Beach originally set the
maximum of 23 homes on Bay Island, they went through much time and thought in figuring just what would be best for
the overall land use for the future residents.
Clearly they thought it best to have some "green space", and not simply wall‐to‐wall housing on such a small island.
The parking that 2 more homes will add simply is unacceptable, as it is already a huge problem for blocks and blocks
around their pedestrian bridge...let's not make it worse. And, by adding 2 more homes, those working at the 2 new
homes, as well maintenance people...and then guests spending a few days, will make parking for homeowners
throughout on the side streets, simply impossible.
Every developer knows, you don't build out on every single lot...you leave a couple for the enjoyment of the
neighborhood.
MAXIMUM residential density is a very bad idea for this already very, very dense island.
I urge you to do the right thing for all the residents of Bay Island, and the surrounding neighborhood:
VOTE NO ON THIS APPLICANT.
