A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING A COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO DEMOLISH AN EXISTING TWO-
UNIT RESIDENCE AND CONSTRUCT A NEW THREE-STORY
SINGLE-UNIT DWELLING AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNIT (JADU) AND ATTACHED TWO-CAR GARAGE
LOCATED AT 3405 AND 3405 ½ SEASHORE DRIVE (PA2022-
130)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by David Olson, concerning property located at 3405 and 3405 ½
Seashore Drive and legally described as Lot 3 of Block 34 of Newport Beach Tract,
requesting approval of a coastal development permit.
2. The applicant requests a coastal development permit (CDP) to allow for the demolition of
an existing two-story, two-unit dwelling with attached garages, and construction of a new
3,221-square-foot, three-story, single unit dwelling including a 381 square foot JADU and
a 426-square-foot two-car garage. The project includes hardscape, drainage, and
accessory structures all within the confines of the property. The project is located in the VE
Special Flood Hazard Area ("VE Zone"), and includes a raised foundation supported by
caissons to meet the minimum finished floor requirements of the Special Flood Hazard
Area. The project complies with all development standards and no deviations are
requested. All improvements authorized by this CDP will be located on private property.
3. The subject property is designated RT (Two Unit Residential) by the General Plan Land
Use Element and is located within the R-2 (Two-Unit Residential) Zoning District.
4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is RT-E Two Unit Residential – (30.0-39.9 DU/AC) and it is located within the R-
2 (Two-Unit Residential) Coastal Zone District.
5. A public hearing was held on November 16, 2023, online via Zoom. A notice of the time,
place, and purpose of the hearing was given by the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC). Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to and considered by, the
Zoning Administrator at this hearing.
SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
1. This project is categorically exempt pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations Section 15303, Division 6, Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures) because it has no potential to have a significant effect on
the environment.

01-10-2023
2. Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three (3) single-family residences and
construction of up to six dwelling units in urbanized areas. The proposed project consists
of the demolition of one two-family residence and the construction of a new 3,221-
square-foot, single-family residence and JADU, with an attached 426-square-foot, two -
car garage.
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.
SECTION 3. REQUIRED FINDINGS.
By Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits - Findings and Decision) of the NBMC,
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 the applicable residential development
standards including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and
parking.
a. The maximum floor area limitation is 3,688 square feet and the proposed floor area
is 3,653 square feet.
b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks, which are 5
feet along the front property line abutting the Boardwalk, 3 feet along each side
property line, and 0 feet along the second front property line abutting Seashore
Drive.
c. The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from the established grade (17.5 feet
NAVD88) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from the established grade,
which complies with the maximum height requirements. Pursuant to Section
21.30.060 (B) (Height Limits and Exceptions – Height of Structures and
Measurement) of the NBMC, the minimum required top of slab elevation for interior
living areas of all new development within flood hazard areas shall be as
established by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps recognized by the Building Division
as part of flood safety requirements and maps adopted by the City Council. The
subject property is located in the VE-15 Flood Zone and the minimum top of slab
elevation is required to be a minimum of 17.5 feet NAVD88. Pursuant to 21.30.060
(B) (Height Limits and Exceptions – Height of Structures and Measurement), the
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-067
Page 3 of 11
01-10-2023
height of a principal structure shall be measured from the top of slab elevation.
Therefore, the established grade for the subject property is 17.5 feet NAVD88, and
the maximum elevation allowed for a guardrail or flat roof is 41.5 feet NAVD88 and
46.5 feet NAVD88 for a sloping roof (minimum 3:12 pitch).
d. The project includes garage parking for a total of two vehicles, complying with the
minimum two-car garage parking requirement for single-family residences with less
than 4,000 square feet of habitable floor area. No additional parking is required for
JADUs.
2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two and three-story, single-unit
residences. The project would be constructed with a finished floor that is approximately
5 feet above the existing beach elevation and the overall height of the structure will
appear higher than neighboring properties. However, as the other 165 properties along
the beach from 24th Street to 48th Street redevelop, they will also be required to comply
with the VE Flood Zone construction standards that necessitate raised foundations on
caissons. Several other projects have been approved with raised foundations along
Seashore Drive. Therefore, the proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development
are consistent with the anticipated neighborhood pattern of development.
3. A Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis was prepared by GeoSoils, Inc.,
dated June 10, 2022, for the project. The report concludes that the project will be
reasonably safe from wave overtopping and future sea level rise. The estimates assume
an approximate 3.2-foot increase from sea level rise over the next 75 years (i.e. the life
of the structure). The maximum water elevation is 7.7 feet (NAVD88), therefore the
future sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.9 feet (NAVD88) (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 first floor of the proposed structure is
approximately 17.5 feet (NAVD88), which complies with the minimum 9.0-foot
(NAVD88) elevation standard for new structures and exceeds the minimum
requirements for future sea level rise (10.9 feet NAVD88).
4. The Coastal Hazards Report and Sea Level Rise Analysis also evaluates the potential
for shoreline erosion and wave action at the site. The report concludes that future wave
runup will likely not reach the site under severely eroded beach conditions and extreme
storms. The report states that this section of Newport Beach does experience short term
erosion, but that the erosion is temporary and largely the result of an energetic winter.
The report concludes that the sandy beach in front of the property is typically over 250
feet wide and has provided adequate protection for the property over the last several
decades. The proposed development will not need shoreline protection over the life of
the development.
5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the project would be reviewed for compliance
with building code and FEMA standards. The VE Flood Zone mapped for the site
requires a base flood elevation (BFE) of 15 feet NAVD88, and the City requires an
additional one foot of “freeboard” to the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural
member. Therefore, the project has been designed with a raised finished floor of
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-067
Page 4 of 11
01-10-2023
approximately 17.25 feet (NAVD88). The residential structure is also required to have a
pile foundation. Although unlikely to occur at the project site over the life of the
development, the structure has been designed to withstand potential wave action in
compliance with the FEMA VE Flood Zone standards and the associated requirements
of the NBMC.
6. Under NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Development Standards – Protective
Structures), the property owner will be required to agree 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).
This requirement is included as a condition of approval that will need to be satisfied before
the final building permit inspection, respectively.
7. 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 –
Development Standards). This requirement is included as a condition of approval that will
need to be satisfied before the issuance of building permits, respectively.
8. The property is 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 before 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 before building permit issuance.
9. The property is located within 250 feet of coastal waters. A Construction Erosion Control
Plan was provided 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. The project design also
addresses water quality through the inclusion of a post-construction drainage system that
includes drainage and percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain
event runoff on-site. Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain
system.
10. Proposed landscaping complies with Implementation Plan Section 21.30.075
(Landscaping). A condition of approval is included that requires drought-tolerant
species. Before the issuance of building permits, the final landscape plans will be
reviewed to verify invasive species are not planted.
11. The project proposes to demolish the existing duplex and construct a new single-unit
dwelling and JADU. As a result, the project complies with the Housing Crisis Act of 2019
and Senate Bill 8 (Skinner) because it does not result in the loss of residential density. The
State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has verified with the
City in an email dated March 23, 2022, that a JADU is considered a housing unit under
Government Code Section 66300 provisions to replace existing units. The property owner
has certified that the units are not "protected" units under Section 66330 Subdivision
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-067
Page 5 of 11
01-10-2023
(d)(2). The project is consistent with the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and
Zoning designations that allow the single-unit dwelling and JADU land uses. Under the
Coastal Land Use Plan Table 2.1.1-1, the Two Unit Residential (RT-E) category is
intended for single- and two-unit residential development. Section 21.18.020 of the Local
Coastal Program Implementation Plan shows “Single-Unit Dwellings” and “Accessory
Dwelling Units” as allowed uses in the R-2 Coastal Zoning District. Therefore, the project
of a single-unit dwelling and JADU to replace an existing duplex is consistent with the
R-2 zoning and land use designations, does not result in a loss of residential density,
and will not affect the City in meeting its regional housing needs.
12. The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road or Coastal Viewpoint as
identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest Coastal Viewpoint is on Newport
Island approximately 1,200 feet away and is not visible from the site. The site is located
adjacent to Seashore Drive, which serves as lateral access and provides intermittent views
of the beach where it intersects with street ends. As currently developed, the existing
property and other residences along Seashore Drive impede views of the ocean from
Seashore Drive and provide very limited opportunities to see the beach through narrow
side yard setbacks. The subject lot is located in the middle of the block, and existing views
of the beach are available along the 35th and 34th Street ends. The proposed project would
not block any existing views through the project site. Additionally, the proposed single-unit
dwelling and JADU comply with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development
standards and maintains a building footprint consistent with the anticipated neighborhood
pattern of development in the VE Flood Zone.
13. Additionally, the rear of the residence visible from Seashore Drive includes substantial
architectural treatment and visual interest, in-keeping with the design guidelines of the
NBMC, specifically Section 21.30.100 (Scenic and Visual Quality Protection). The existing
structure includes minimal architectural treatment, with a relatively solid building face and
garage doors. There are no notable architectural features, or setbacks or “see through”
elements that reduce scale. The project design also includes “see through” elements such
as open balcony railings that prevent the appearance of the site being walled off from the
street. Lastly, the first floor is also setback approximately 6 feet from Seashore Drive,
where no setback is required, reducing the appearance of bulk from the street. 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.
14. The project site is located in the viewshed of the public beach, which is not a designated
viewpoint but provides scenic views of the ocean. The project will replace an existing
two (2)-unit dwelling with a new single-unit dwelling and JADU that complies with all
applicable development standards. The required front setback along the front property
line abutting the boardwalk is 5 feet, where the proposed project provides approximately
12 feet to the first-floor building face. The project also includes a patio slightly above the
ground that provides a gradual increase in scale from the boardwalk to the
approximately 3-foot-deep balcony and principal structure. The project proposes a third-
floor level, which is set back approximately 20 feet from the front setback along the
boardwalk where the NBMC requires 15 feet. The greater setbacks would minimize the
appearance of bulk and scale from the adjacent beach, neighboring properties, and
street. The project would be constructed with a finished floor that is approximately 5 feet
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-067
Page 6 of 11
01-10-2023
above the existing beach elevation and the overall height of the structure will appear
higher than neighboring properties. However, as the other 165 properties along the
beach from 24th Street to 48th street redevelop, they will also be required to comply with
the VE Flood Zone construction standards that necessitate raised foundations on
caissons. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality
of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts to 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.
Fact 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 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 two-unit dwelling
located on a standard R-2 lot with a new single-unit residence and JADU. Therefore, the
project does not involve a change in land use, density, or intensity that will result in
increased demand for 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 beach is available at the 34th and 35th Street ends. Lateral access is
available on the beach in front of the property and along Seashore Drive to the rear of the
property. The project does not involve the removal or creation of additional street parking
spaces. The project design does not include any unique features in the rear of the property
that could obstruct access or create hazards for the motorists or pedestrians on Seashore
Drive. The first-floor garage is setback approximately 6 feet from the property line, which
would allow the residents additional visibility to the bike lane and street as they enter and
exit the garage.

EXHIBIT “A”
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the approved site plan, floor
plans, and building elevations stamped and dated with the date of this approval (except as
modified by applicable conditions of approval).
2. Prior to issuance of building permits, the Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) shall
require a deed restriction that prohibits the sale of the JADU separately and prohibits
rental or leasing of the JADU for 30 days or less. The deed restriction will also require
the owner of the Property to reside in either the primary dwelling or in the JADU. Owner
occupancy is not required if the owner is another governmental agency, land trust, or
housing organization within the meaning of Government Code 65852.22.
3. Before the final building permit inspection, an agreement in a form approved by the City
Attorney between the property owner and the City shall be executed and recorded
waiving rights to the construction of future shoreline protection devices to address the
threat of damage or destruction from waves, erosion, storm conditions, landslides,
seismic activity, bluff retreat, sea level rise, or other natural hazards that may affect the
property, or development of the property, today or in the future. The agreement shall be
binding against the property owners and successors and assigns.
4. Before the issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall submit a notarized
signed letter acknowledging all hazards present at the site, assuming the risk of injury
or damage from such hazards, unconditionally waiving any claims of damage against
the City from such hazards, and to indemnify and hold harmless City, its City Council, its
boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any
claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses,
judgments, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including without limitation,
attorney’s fees, disbursements, and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever
which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to City’s approval of
the development. This letter shall be scanned into the plan set before building permit
issuance.
5. This approval does not authorize any new or existing improvements (including
landscaping) on California Coastal Permit Jurisdiction, State tidelands, public beaches,
or the public right-of-way. This Coastal Development Permit does not authorize any
development seaward of the private property.
6. No demolition or construction materials, equipment debris, or waste, shall be placed or
stored in a location that would enter the sensitive habitat, receiving waters, or storm
drains or result in impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas, streams, the
beach, wetlands, or their buffers. No demolition or construction materials shall be stored
on public property.
7. The applicant is responsible for compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
In compliance with the MBTA, grading, brush removal, building demolition, tree
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-067

trimming, and similar construction activities shall occur between August 16 and January
31, outside of the peak nesting period. If such activities must occur inside the peak
nesting season from February 1 to August 15, compliance with the following is required
to prevent the taking of native birds under MBTA:
A. The construction area shall be inspected for active nests. If birds are observed flying
from a nest or sitting on a nest, it can be assumed that the nest is active. Construction
activity within 300 feet of an active nest shall be delayed until the nest is no longer
active. Continue to observe the nest until the chicks have left the nest and activity is no
longer observed. When the nest is no longer active, construction activity can continue
in the nest area.
B. It is a violation of state and federal law to kill or harm a native bird. To ensure
compliance, consider hiring a biologist to assist with the survey for nesting birds, and
to determine when it is safe to commence construction activities. If an active nest is
found, one or two short follow-up surveys will be necessary to check on the nest and
determine when the nest is no longer active.
8. Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Good Housekeeping Practices (GHPs) shall
be implemented before and throughout the duration of construction activity as
designated in the Construction Erosion Control Plan.
9. The discharge of any hazardous materials into storm sewer systems or receiving waters
