A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING A COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FOR
THE DEMOLITION OF TWO EXISTING SINGLE-UNIT
RESIDENCES AND CONSTRUCTION OF TWO NEW SINGLE-
UNIT RESIDENCES ON SEPARAT LOTS WITH DEVIATIONS
FROM LOT WIDTH AND AREA STANDARDS LOCATED AT 2592
ARBOR DRIVE AND 2596 CRESTVIEW DRIVE (PA2023-0125)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Ali Samsami, with respect to the properties located at 2592
Arbor Drive and 2596 Crestview Drive, and legally described as Lots 57 and 58 of Tract
1102 requesting approval of a coastal development permit and tentative parcel map.
2. The applicant proposes a coastal development permit (CDP) and tentative parcel map
to allow the demolition of two existing single-unit dwellings and the construction of two,
new, single-unit dwellings. A new 534-square-foot, one-story single-unit dwelling and an
attached 437-square-foot garage will be constructed at 2592 Arbor Drive, and a new
3,269-square-foot, two-story single-unit dwelling and an attached 576-square-foot
garage will be constructed at 2596 Crestview Drive. The project also includes
landscaping, hardscaping, and site walls. The proposed new construction complies with
all applicable development standards. The tentative parcel map will adjust the location
of the property line between the two properties and includes a request for a deviation
from the design standards of Title 19 (Subdivisions) for lot width and area. All
improvements authorized by this CDP will be located on private property.
3. The subject properties are designated Single Unit Residential Detached (RS-D) by the
General Plan Land Use Element and are located within the Single-Unit Residential (R-1)
Zoning District.
4. The subject properties are located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Single Unit Residential Detached (RSD-B) (6.0 – 9.9 DU/AC) and they are
located within the Single-Unit Residential (R-1) Coastal Zoning District.
5. A public hearing was held on December 14, 2023, online via Zoom. A notice of time, place
and purpose of the hearing was given in accordance with 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 exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15303 under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and
under 15315 under Class 15 (Land Divisions) 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 proposed parcel map with request deviations affects the shared property line
between two parcels under common ownership and is for the purpose of accomodating
the new construction of a single unit resiodence on each property. There will be no
change in land use, density, or intensity.
3. The proposed project consists of the construction of two, new, single-unit dwellings. A new
534-square-foot, one-story single-unit dwelling and an attached 437-square-foot garage
will be constructed at 2592 Arbor Drive, and a new 3,269-square-foot, two-story single-
unit dwelling and an attached 576-square-foot garage will be constructed at 2596
Crestview Drive.
4. There are no known exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 that would
invalidate the use of these exemptions. 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.
Costal Development Permit
By Section 21.52.015(F) (Coastal Development Permits – Findings and Decision) of the NMBC,
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 for the property at 2592 Arbor Drive is 5,493
square feet and the proposed floor area is 971 square feet. The maximum floor
area limitation for the property at 2596 Crestview Drive is 6,507 square feet and
the proposed floor area is 3,844 square feet.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 3 of 15
10-18-21
b. The proposed development 2592 Arbor Drive provides the minimum required
setbacks, which are 10 feet along the front property line abutting Arbor Drive, 4 feet
along each side property line, and 10 feet along the rear property line abutting an
alley. The proposed development 2592 Arbor Drive provides the minimum required
setbacks, which are 10 feet along the front property line abutting Crestview Drive,
4 feet along each side property line, and 10 feet along the rear property line
abutting an alley.
c. The highest flat roof element for the property at 2591 Arbor Drive is 10 feet from
established grade and the highest sloped roof ridge is 17.4 feet from established
grade, which comply with the maximum height requirements. The highest flat roof
element for the property at 2596 Crestview Drive is 20.5 feet from established
grade and the highest sloped roof ridge is 28.42 feet from established grade, which
comply with the maximum height requirements.
d. The project includes garage parking for a total of two vehicles for each single-unit
dwelling, complying with the minimum two-car garage parking requirement for
single-unit dwellings with less than 4,000 square feet of habitable floor area.
2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two story, single-unit dwellings. The
proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development are consistent with the existing
neighborhood pattern of development.
3. The proposed project includes the demolition of two single-unit residences and the
construction of two single-unit residences. Each proposed residence includes a kitchen
and constitutes as a dwelling unit. Therefore, there is no reduction in residential density
proposed and the project complies with the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (Senate Bill 330).
4. The project sites are located approximately 620 feet from the mean high tide line and are
separated from the water by Bay Shore Drive and existing residential development
between the subject site and the water. The project sites are not protected by a bulkhead.
5. The finished floor elevation for both the single-unit residences is 13.76 feet (NAVD 88),
which complies with the minimum 9.00-foot (NAVD 88) elevation standard.
6. The properties are not located in an area known for the potential of seismic activity. All
projects are required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and Building
Division standards and policies. Construction plans are reviewed for compliance with
approved investigations and CBC before building permit issuance.
7. The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion control plan and a
post construction drainage system that includes drainage and percolation features
designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event run-off on-site. Any water not retained
on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
8. The properties are not located on the shoreline nor are they located within 100 feet of
coastal waters. The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 4 of 15
10-18-21
control plan and a post construction drainage system that includes drainage and
percolation features designed to retain dry weather and minor rain event run-off on-site.
Any water not retained on-site is directed to the City’s storm drain system.
9. The project design addresses water quality with a construction erosion control plan that
outlines temporary Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented during
construction to minimize erosion and sedimentation, and to minimize pollution of runoff
derived by construction chemicals and materials. No water quality impacts to coastal
waters are anticipated based upon the location and elevation of the property.
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 in the
private community of Bayshores. Developed in 1941, Bayshores is a 258-lot, single-family
gated community located on the Lido Channel, southwest of Coast Highway and Newport
Bay Bridge. The 39-unit Anchorage Apartment complex is also located within the
community. The community is accessible from West Coast Highway via Bay Shore Drive,
a private street. The shoreline is on the south and east sides of the community and consists
of bulkheads and two small sandy beaches.
2. Coastal Land Use Plan Policy 3.1.5-3 requires public access consistent with public access
policies for any new development in private/gated communities causing or contributing to
adverse public access impacts. 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 two existing single-family unit
dwellings located on two lots with two new single-unit dwellings. 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 so as not to block or impede existing public access opportunities.
3. The residential lots do not currently provide, nor do they inhibit public coastal access.
Vertical and lateral access to the bay front is available adjacent to the Bayshores
community at the Balboa Bay Club, immediately north of the Bayshores community.
4. The project site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public viewpoint, public park
or beach, or public accessway, as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. Furthermore,
an investigation of the project site and surrounding area did not identify any other public
view opportunities. The project site may be located within the viewshed of distant public
viewing areas; however, the project will replace two existing single-unit dwellings with two
new single-unit dwellings that comply with all applicable Local Coastal Program
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 5 of 15
10-18-21
development standards and maintain building envelopes consistent with the existing
neighborhood pattern of development. 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.
Tentative Parcel Map
In accordance with Section 19.12.070 (Required Findings for Action on Tentative Maps) of the
NBMC, the following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
C. That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable
provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The tentative parcel map is for the purposes of adjusting the property line location
between two lots. The project site is currently developed with single-unit dwellings, one
on each lot. The proposed development will construct new 534-square-foot, one-story
single-unit dwelling and an attached 437-square-foot garage at 2592 Arbor Drive, and
a new 3,269-square-foot, two-story single-unit dwelling and an attached 576-square-
foot garage at 2596 Crestview Drive. The proposed subdivision and improvements are
consistent with density of the R-1 Zoning District and the current RS-D General Plan
Land Use category.
2. The subject property is not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
D. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The lots are physically suitable for single-unit dwellings because they are relatively flat.
An existing single-unit dwelling will be demolished on each lot and a new single-unit
dwelling will be constructed on each lot.
2. The subject properties are accessible from Arbor Drive, Crestview drive, and the alley
in the rear.
3. The sites are adequately served by existing utilities, as there is one single-unit
residence on each site and there is no proposed change in density.
Finding:
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 6 of 15
10-18-21
E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife
or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision-making body may
nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was
prepared for the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 21081 of the
California Environmental Quality Act that specific economic, social, or other
considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the environmental impact report.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The property is located within a developed residential neighborhood that does not
contain any sensitive vegetation or habitat on-site.
2. This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to Section 15315 under Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) of the CEQA Guidelines.
Finding:
F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The tentative parcel map is for the purposes of adjusting the property line location
between two existing parcels. All improvements associated with the project will comply
with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes, which are in place to prevent serious
public health problems. Public improvements will be required of the developer per
NBMC Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) and Section 66411
(Local agencies to regulate and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map
Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied with.
Finding:
G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within
the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision-making body may approve a
map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided and that
these easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the
public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established
by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to
the City Council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access
through or use of property within a subdivision.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 7 of 15
10-18-21
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed tentative parcel map and
determined that the design of the development will not conflict with easements acquired
by the public at large, for access through, or use of property within the existing
development because no public easements are located on the property.
Finding:
H. That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act,
if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land
Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision
of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will
result in residential development incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the
land.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the subject property is not
designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area.
2. The site, developed for residential use, lies in the R-1 Zoning District, which is intended
for and permits residential uses.
Finding:
I. That, in the case of a “land project” as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California
Business and Professions Code: (1) there is an adopted specific plan for the area to be
included within the land project; and (2) the decision-making body finds that the
proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for the area.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. California Business and Professions Code Section 11000.5 has been repealed by the
Legislature. However, this project site is not considered a “land project” as previously
defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code because
the project site does not contain 50 or more parcels of land.
2. The project is not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
J. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been
satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 8 of 15
10-18-21
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The Tentative Parcel Map and any future improvements are subject to Title 24 of the
California Building Code that requires new construction meet minimum heating and
cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The City’s Building
Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection process.
Finding:
K. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and
Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City’s share of the
regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the
public service needs of the City’s residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed single unit residences are consistent with the R-1 Zoning District, which
allows up to one (1) residential unit on the property. Therefore, the tentative parcel map
for will not affect the City in meeting its regional housing needs.
Finding:
L. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer
system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The project wastewater is designed to discharge into the existing sewer system and
complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
Finding:
M. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision
conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public
access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. Facts 1-8 in support of Finding A are hereby incorporated by reference.
Deviations from Design Standards
In accordance with Section 19.24.130 (Deviation from Design Standards) of the NBMC, the
following findings and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 9 of 15
10-18-21
Finding:
N. The requested deviation(s) will create a land plan or development design equal or
superior to that under the baseline design standards in this chapter.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed lots are comparable in width, length, and area with the majority of the
original subdivision in which a majority of lots had widths between 40 and 50 feet and
depths of 100 feet. The proposed lot widths of approximately 40’-8” and 46’-10” are
consistent with the original subdivision. The number of parcels will remain unchanged
as a result of the tentative parcel map and there will be no change in the density or
intensity of development. The existing parcel area of 2596 Crestview Drive is
approximately 4,000 square feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will increase the
parcel area to 4,865 square feet. The existing parcel area of 2592 Arbor Drive is
approximately 5,091 square feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will decrease the
parcel area to 4,226 square feet.
2. The existing lot orientation with vehicular access from the rear alley are maintained.
Finding:
O. The deviation(s) will not negatively impact the carrying capacity of the local vehicular
circulation network.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed project would not negatively impact the carrying capacity of the local
vehicular circulation network. No improvements or changes are proposed that would
cause additional capacity to the roadways.
Finding:
P. The deviation(s) will not negatively impact pedestrian circulation.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The project will not reduce, encroach or change the size or location of the Arbor Drive
and Crestview Drive sidewalk.
2. The project will not eliminate or impede pedestrian circulation provided that the
necessary improvements are provided in accordance with applicable Public Works
design standards and permitting.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 10 of 15
10-18-21
Finding:
Q. The resulting subdivision will be compatible with the pattern of surrounding
subdivisions.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The project will result in a subdivision that is compatible with the pattern of surrounding
subdivision as the project will shift the interior property line between two legal parcels
1’-9” feet to the west. Land taken from the 2592 Arbor Drive parcel will be added to
the 2596 Crestview Drive parcel. The number of parcels will remain unchanged as a
result of the tentative parcel map and there will be no change in the density or intensity
of development.
2. The subject property is located in a block that is designated R1 by the General Plan
and Zoning Code. The proposed project would not alter the General Plan and Zoning
Code designation.
3. The proposed shift in the interior property line between both properties would result in
a lot width for the property at 2592 Arbor Drive of approximately 40’-8” and the property
at 2596 Crestview of approximately 46’-10” which is more compatible with the
surrounding lots than the existing configuration. The number of parcels will remain
unchanged and there will be no change in the density or intensity of development. The
existing parcel area of 2596 Crestview Drive is approximately 4,000 square feet. The
proposed lot line adjustment will increase the parcel area to 4,865 square feet. The
existing parcel area of 2592 Arbor Drive is approximately 5,091 square feet. The
proposed lot line adjustment will decrease the parcel area to 4,226 square feet.
Finding:
R. The resulting subdivision design and improvements will be consistent with the General
Plan and any applicable specific plan and will conform to the Subdivision Map Act and
all other provisions of this Subdivision Code.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The resulting project design results in two parcels and one residential unit on each
parcel, where the General Plan allows for one unit on each parcel. Therefore, the
subdivision is consistent with the density of the R-1 General Plan Land Use
Designation.
2. The subject properties are not located within a specific plan area.
Finding:
S. The resulting subdivision design and improvements will not be materially detrimental to
the residents or tenants of the proposed subdivision or surrounding properties, nor to
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2023-078
Page 11 of 15
10-18-21
public health or safety. resulting subdivision will be compatible with the pattern of
surrounding subdivisions.
Fact in Support of Finding:
1. The proposed would allow one unit to be constructed on each lot in accordance with the
General Plan. Approval does not introduce an incompatible land use, and the resulting
subdivision design would not be detrimental to the residents as vehicular and pedestrian
access would be maintained. Any development must be in accordance with the
conditions of approval and the Municipal Code. The resulting lot widths are consistent
with the lot widths of the original subdivision or the existing development pattern of the
neighborhood.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby finds this project is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 under

EXHIBIT “A”
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Planning Division
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. 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.
3. The applicant is responsible for compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA).
In compliance with the MBTA, grading, brush removal, building demolition, tree
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.
4. 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.
5. The discharge of any hazardous materials into storm sewer systems or receiving waters
shall be prohibited. Machinery and equipment shall be maintained and washed in
