TITLE: Ordinance No. 2023-1 and Resolution Nos. 2023-4 and 2023-5:
General Plan Amendment to Increase the Development Limit for
Bay Island
ABSTRACT:
For the City Council's consideration are amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Map,
and Coastal Zoning Map for Bay Island. The amendments increase the maximum
development limits from 23 dwelling units to 25 dwelling units and include correcting the
land use maps. The amendments were initiated by Bay Island Club, Inc., which seeks to
return development rights, consistent with Use Permit No. UP3618.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Conduct a public hearing;
b) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15303 — Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, because this project has no potential to have a
significant effect on the environment;
c) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-4, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Approving General Plan Amendment No. GP2022-001 to Change
the Development Limit Specified for Bay Island from 23 Dwelling Units to 25 Maximum
Dwelling Units (PA2022-087);
d) Adopt Resolution No. 2023-5, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Authorizing the Submittal of Local Coastal Program Amendment
No. LC2022-003 to Change the Development Limit Specified for Bay Island from
23 Dwelling Units to 25 Maximum Dwelling Units (PA2022-087); and,
e) Waive full reading, direct the City Clerk to read by title only, introduce Ordinance
No. 2023-1, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California,
Approving Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2022-005 to Change the Development

General Plan Amendment to Increase the Development Limit for Bay Island

DISCUSSION:
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
PC 2 of Attachment F). 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 Bay Island at the time;
however, the caretaker's unit was not taken into account, nor the fact that one dwelling unit
is currently constructed over two authorized building sites. Additionally, the land use map
inadvertently mapped one building site with an open space designation and conversely
mapped areas intended for open space as appropriate for residential use. These errors were
subsequently carried over into the Zoning Code and Local Coastal Program.
The following amendments are requested to be approved by the City Council to correct the
errors.
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 and correcting the
associated map;
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 from 23 dwelling units to 25 dwelling units and correcting the
associated map; 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 and correcting the
associated map.

General Plan and Zonina Ma
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). The RM-D designation is intended to provide
primarily for multi -family residential development exclusively containing detached
dwelling units. This General Plan amendment to the development limit and map
corrections will apply to the RM-D designated building sites as reflected in the original
entitlements (Exhibit B of Attachment A). The remaining portions of the island will retain
the appropriate OS designation, which is intended to provide areas for a range of public
and private uses to protect, maintain and enhance the community's natural resources.
Similar amendments are proposed to the Zoning Map to reflect corrections to density and
zoning land use designations (Exhibit B of Attachment C).
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
are no prior amendments approved less than 10 years ago. Table 1 below shows the
increases attributable to the subject amendment, thereby demonstrating that no vote
would be required.

Plannina Commission Review
On September 8, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing
to consider the amendments (Attachments E and F). One public comment was submitted
in opposition to the amendment (included in Attachment F). At the meeting, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. PC2022-023 (Attachment D) recommending
approval of the amendments to City Council.

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 corrects an error in the maximum number of dwelling units at
Bay Island and the land use designations. Portions of the island originally entitled as open
space will be designated as within the Open Space (OS) Coastal Zoning District, and the
portion of the island developed with the caretaker's residence will designated as RM.
These updates will also be reflected in the Coastal Land Use Plan map (Exhibit C of
Attachment B).
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 sections of the Local Coastal Program, including, but not
limited to, policies related to water quality, public access and views, and coastal hazards.
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. One additional tribe was provided notice on
September 8, 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. The City has received one response from
Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians — Kizh Nation, requesting a consultation. This
consultation was held on September 28, 2022, stating no issues with the project as
proposed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council 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, 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.
NOTICING -

LC2022-003 and Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2022-005; and

Resolution No. 2023-
Page 3 of 5
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on January 10, 2023 in the
Council Chambers located at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. A notice
of time, place and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with the Ralph M.
Brown Act and Chapters 20.62 and 21.62 (Public Hearings) of the NBMC. Evidence, both
written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the City Council at this hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment No.
GP2022-001 amending the General Plan of the City of Newport Beach to correct the
development limit specified for Bay Island from 23 dwelling units to a maximum of 25
dwelling units as depicted in Exhibit "B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. This approval is contingent upon the certification of Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. LC2022-003 by the California Coastal Commission.
Section 2: Charter Section 423 requires voter approval of any major General
Plan amendment to the General Plan. A major General Plan amendment is one that
significantly increases allowed density or intensity by 40,000 square feet of non-
residential floor area, increases traffic by more than 100 peak hour vehicle trips (AM/PM),
or increases residential dwelling units by 100 units. These thresholds apply to the total
of increases resulting from the amendment itself, plus 80 percent of the increases
resulting from other amendments affecting the same neighborhood (defined as a
Statistical Area as shown in the General Plan Land Use Element) and adopted within the
preceding 10 years.
Council Policy A-18 (Guidelines for Implementing Charter Section 423) requires that
proposed amendments to the General Plan be reviewed to determine if a vote of the
Newport Beach electorate would be required. This policy includes a provision that all
General Plan amendments be tracked as "Prior Amendments" for 10 years to determine
if minor amendments in a single Statistical Area cumulatively exceed the thresholds
indicated above.
Facts in Support Finding of Consistency with Charter Section 423:
The Project is located within Statistical Area D3 with no general plan amendments
over the last 10 years. Charter Section 423 is not triggered because the maximum number
of dwelling units on Bay Island was inadvertently revised to reflect the number of dwelling
units at that time as opposed to what was authorized by Use Permit No. UP3618.
13-9
Resolution No. 2023-
Page 4 of 5
Additionally, even assuming the Project was not merely correcting an error,
increasing the number of dwelling units by two units has no effect on the non-residential
floor area and would result in an overall increase of 1.4 a.m. peak hour trips and 1.9 p.m.
peak hour trips based on the residential trip rates reflected in Council Policy A-18. Since
none of the three thresholds specified by Charter Section 423 are exceeded, no vote of
the electorate is required
Section 3: The recitals provided in this resolution are true and correct and are
incorporated into the operative part of this resolution.
Section 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
resolution is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 5: The City Council finds General Plan Amendment No. GP2022-001 is
exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6,
Chapter 3. Class 3 exempts the construction of up to three single-family residences.
General Plan Amendment No. GP2022-001 would authorize the future development of
up to two additional single-family residences at Bay Island and therefore qualifies within
this exemption.

Program Amendment No. LC2022-003 by the California Coastal Commission.

FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Bay Island Club, Inc., ("Applicant") with respect to Bay Island,
as shown on the official map of Bay Island ("Property") as shown in Exhibit "A."
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;
13-31
Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2022-023
Page 2 of 5
• 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") correcting the development limit specified for Bay
Island 23 dwelling units maximum to 25 dwelling units maximum; and
• Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2022-005 — An amendment to the Zoning
Code (Title 20) of the NBMC to correct the development limit specified for Bay
Island from 23 dwelling units to a maximum of 25 dwelling units.
6. The Property is located within the Multiple Residential (RM) Zoning District and the General
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).
3. A public hearing was held on September o, 2022, in i 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
environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within

SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
General Plan, Zonin_g 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 it
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.
Charter Section 423
Pursuant to City of Newport Beach ("City") Charter Section 423 and City Council Policy A-18,

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:
13-44
• 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
Anal
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

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- 13-46
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.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
An application was filed by Bay Island Club, Inc., ("Applicant") with respect to Bay Island,
as shown on the official map of Bay Island ("Property") as shown in Exhibit "A."
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;
1 S 13-52
• 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") correcting the development limit specified for Bay
Island 23 dwelling units maximum to 25 dwelling units maximum; and
Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2022-005 — An amendment to the Zoning
Code (Title 20) of the NBMC to correct the development limit specified for Bay
Island from 23 dwelling units to a maximum of 25 dwelling units.
6. The Property is located within the Multiple Residential (RM) Zoning District and the General
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.
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
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.
2 13-53
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.

Bay Island Amendments (PA2022-087)
Rodriguez, Clarivel
Subject: FW: Bay Island housing increase.
From: J&J McKellar <twoilmck@gmail.com>
Sent: September 03, 2022 3:49 PM
To: Crager, Chelsea <ccrager@newportbeachca.gov>
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.
