RESOLUTION NO. ZA2024-001
A RESOLUTION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING A COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AND COASTAL VARIANCE TO
DEMOLISH AN EXISTING SINGLE-UNIT RESIDENCE AND
CONSTRUCT A NEW THREE-STORY SINGLE-UNIT RESIDENCE
AND ATTACHED THREE-CAR GARAGE WITH A PATIO COVER
ENCROACHMENT LOCATED AT 7 BEACON BAY (PA2023-0123)
THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. An application was filed by Ian Harrison, concerning property located at 7 Beacon Bay,
requesting approval of a coastal development permit. The lot at 7 Beacon Bay is legally
described as Lot 7 Record of Survey Book 9 Page 42-43.
2. The applicant requests a coastal development permit to allow the demolition of an existing
single-unit residence and the construction of a new, three-story, 4,595-square-foot single-
unit residence including a 617-square-foot, three-car garage. The request also includes a
coastal variance to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) to allow an encroachment into the front setback. The
encroachment consists of a patio cover that extends within six inches of the front property
line on the water with half of the patio on the westerly side and up to half of the front to be
enclosed by glass for sun and wind protection pursuant to an existing variance (VA342)
approved in 1957 for the residential block along the water. The existing Variance (VA342)
is vested pursuant to Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC and runs with the land.
However, that variance was not carried over into Title 21 (Local Coastal Program
Implementation Plan), thus requiring the variance. The proposed development includes
additional appurtenances such as walls, fences, patios, hardscape, drainage devices, and
landscaping. The project was previously heard by the Zoning Administrator on October 26,
2023, and has since been revised to include the coastal variance to Title 21 (Local Coastal
Program) of the NBMC.
3. The property is located within the Two-Unit Residential (R-2) Zoning District and the
General Plan Land Use Element category is Two Unit Residential (RT). The R-2 Zoning
District permits single and two-unit residential dwellings.
4. The subject property is located within the coastal zone. The Coastal Land Use Plan
category is Two Unit Residential (10.0 – 19.9 DU/AC) – (RT-C) and the Coastal Zoning
District is Two-Unit Residential (R-2).
5. A public hearing was held on October 26, 2023, online via Zoom. A notice of the time,
place, and purpose of the hearing was given by the NBMC. Evidence, both written and
oral, was presented to and considered by, the Zoning Administrator at this hearing. The
Zoning Administrator approved the project; however, the project was later appealed due
to concerns regarding the patio encroachment. The project has been revised to request
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001

01-10-2023
a variance to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC for the
patio encroachment.
6. A public hearing was held on January 25, 2024, online via Zoom. A notice of the time,
place, and purpose of the hearing was given by the 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.
2. Class 3 exempts the demolition of up to three single-unit residences and additions of up
to 10,000 square feet to existing structures. The proposed project consists of the
demolition of one single-unit residence and the construction of a new 3,978-square-foot,
single-unit residence, and attached 617-square-foot, three-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 (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 applicable residential development standards
including, but not limited to, floor area limitation, setbacks, height, and parking, except
as identified in Fact 1(b) below.
a. The maximum floor area limitation is 5,576 square feet and the proposed floor area
is 4,595 square feet.
b. The proposed development provides the minimum required setbacks to the
principal structure, which are 15 feet along the front property line abutting the Bay,
3 feet along each side property line, and 3 feet along the front property line abutting
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 3 of 12
01-10-2023
the street. The proposed encroachment into the front setback for the patio cover
requires a coastal variance to deviate from the setback standards of Section
21.80.040 (Setback Maps) of the NBMC.
c. The highest guardrail is less than 24 feet from the established grade (9.80 feet
NAVD88) and the highest ridge is no more than 29 feet from the established grade,
which complies with the maximum height requirements.
d. The project includes garage parking for a total of three vehicles, exceeding the
minimum two-car garage parking requirement for single-unit residences with less
than 4,000 square feet of habitable floor area.
2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with two- and three-story, single-unit
residences. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development are consistent
with the existing neighborhood pattern of development.
3. A Coastal Hazards Report was prepared by PMA Consulting, Inc. dated August 12,
2023. The project site is separated from the water by a small sandy beach. The report
concludes that the maximum high tide elevation (currently 7.7 feet NAVD 88) will not
exceed 10.9 feet (NAVD 88) using the low-risk aversion projected sea level rise (3.2-
foot increase) over the 75-year design life of the structure based on estimates for sea
level rise provided by the State of California Sea-Level Rise Guidance 2018. Therefore,
the proposed project includes a waterproofing curb around the primary structure at 10.9
feet NAVD 88. The report states that the estimated sea level rise over the next 75 years,
using the Medium-High Risk Aversion, is potentially 6.7 feet (14.4 feet NAVD 88). Due
to its location, the site is not subject to typical ocean waves and associated wave runup.
Bay generated waves that may arrive at this site are very small and are generally
dampened by the vessels and dock systems in front of the site; therefore, the site has
not historically been subject to wave overtopping, nor is overtopping waters over the
next 75 years expected to reach the subject site, even under extreme conditions.
However, if the 6.7 feet NAVD88 (Medium High-Risk) projection holds true for year 2100,
block walls could be built along site property lines to an elevation of 14.4 feet NAVD88.
Based on the data provided, the study concludes that coastal hazards will not impact
the property over the next 75 years, as the proposed project has minimal risk from
flooding.
4. The finished floor elevation of the proposed single-unit residence is 10.5 feet (NAVD88),
which complies with the minimum 9.00 feet (NAVD88) elevation standard. The Coastal
Hazard Report concludes that the bay water elevation (currently 7.7 feet NAVD88) will
not exceed the proposed flood protection curb around the single-unit residence at 10.9
feet (NAVD88 datum) for the anticipated 75-year life of the structure.
5. Under NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Natural Landform and Shoreline Protection),
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.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 4 of 12
01-10-2023
6. 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) (General Site Planning and
Development Standards). This requirement is included as a condition of approval that will
need to be satisfied before the issuance of building permits, respectively.
7. 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.
8. The property is located adjacent to 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.
9. Under Municipal Code Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan), due to the
proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing more than
75% of impervious surface area, a Water Quality and Hydrology Plan (WQHP) is required.
A preliminary WQMP has been prepared for the project by Thomas M. Ruiz dated, June
23, 2023. The WQHP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a
sizing standard for BMPs, the use of a LID approach to retain the design storm runoff
volume on-site, and documentation of the expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.
Construction plans will be reviewed for compliance with the approved WQHP before
building permit issuance.
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 site is not located adjacent to a coastal view road, public viewpoint, public park,
or public accessway, as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The project site is located
adjacent to a public beach and is visible from the beach. The project may be located within
the viewshed of other distant public viewing areas. Site evaluation revealed that the
proposed three-story design is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development and will not affect the existing views afforded on the Cape Cove or Shelter
Cove Street ends. The project design includes low walls along the front property line on
the beach, which prevents the appearance of the project being walled off from the beach.
The project will replace an existing single-unit residence with a new single-unit residence
that complies with all applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP) development standards and
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 5 of 12
01-10-2023
maintains a building envelope 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.
Additional analysis regarding the proposed patio cover is included under Finding F below
and hereby incorporated by reference.
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 in the Beacon Bay area between the nearest public road and
the sea. 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 an existing single-unit residence with a new
single-unit residence. 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.
2. Vertical access to the bay and beach is available at the terminus of Cape Cove, Shell
Cove, and Reef Cove. Lateral access is available along the sandy beach. The closest
access is approximately 90 feet to the east of the site at Cape Cove. The project does not
include any features that would obstruct access along these routes. Additional analysis
regarding the proposed patio cover is included under Finding E below and hereby
incorporated by reference.
By Section 21.52.090 (Relief from Implementation Plan Development Standards) of the NBMC,
the following findings, and facts in support of such findings are set forth:
Finding:
C. The granting of the variance is necessary due to special circumstances applicable to the
property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, and/or other physical
features, the strict application of the development standards otherwise applicable to the
property denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the
vicinity and in the same coastal zoning district.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The location of the front yard area is south of the subject property facing the bay.
Historically, additional sun protection from the waterside is required for these properties.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 6 of 12
01-10-2023
2. Properties facing the same direction along the bay in Lido Island, Harbor Island, and
Beacon Bay hold historical Variances for sun and wind protection. The patios have thin
posts with a one-story overhead structure, and glass for only half of the patio. They
preserve the openness while providing the necessary protection to enjoy the front yard
areas.
3. The properties have enjoyed the patio encroachments afforded by the historical variance
since 1957. The majority of the dwellings have the patio encroachment and a rebuild in
Beacon Bay as recent as 2018 included the patio encroachment.
Finding:
D. The variance complies with the findings required to approve a coastal development permit
in Section 21.52.015(F).
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. Facts in support of Findings A and B are hereby incorporated by reference.
Finding:
E. The variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impedes public
access to and along the sea or shoreline and to coastal parks, trails, or coastal bluffs.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The patio cover will maintain six inches to the front property line along the beach and will
not encroach onto the sand or public use areas. The patio cover will provide shade on the
first floor only. The patio cover is mostly open on the sides, with only glass panels on the
westerly side and half of the front (development standards of existing Variance limits the
type and amount of enclosure). The glass preserves the open nature of the front yard, and
no public encroachments are proposed. These design limitations ensure there is no impact
to public access.
2. The proposed dwelling and patio encroachment provides more than the required side yard
setback with five feet clear to the side property line where three feet is the minimum.
Further, the property is an interior lot that does not currently provide public access along
the sides of the property.
Finding:
F. The variance will not result in development that blocks or significantly impairs public views
to and along the sea or shoreline or to coastal bluffs and other scenic coastal areas.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 7 of 12
01-10-2023
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The patio encroachment does not impact coastal visual resources as it is limited in size
and height. The patio cover is located on the first floor only and is approximately 10 ½ feet
high.
2. Variance No. VA342 was approved in 1957 and created unique allowance for patio
encroachments for all Beacon Bay properties along the bay for sun and wind protection.
These patio covers are permitted to encroach to within six inches of front property line
on the water and half of the patio cover on the westerly side and half of the front is
permitted to be enclosed by glass. The glass maintains an open nature and reduces the
appearance of bulk and scale. The posts are limited in diameter to be the minimum
required to support the awning, 2 ½ inches in diameter and the fascia shall be at least
seven feet clear from the patio floor level. These design requirements ensure there will
be no visual or view impacts. These patios have existed within the block since 1957
without impacting public views.
3. The patio encroachment will not be visible from any public viewpoints identified under
Finding A.
Finding:
G. The variance will not result in development that has an adverse effect, either individually or
cumulatively, on coastal resources, including wetlands, sensitive habitat, vegetation, or
wildlife species.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The location of the front yard area is south of the subject property facing the bay. The patio
cover will maintain six inches to the front property line along the beach and will not
encroach onto the sand, public use areas, or sensitive habitat areas.
2. The project is conditioned so that construction shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act to protect any native birds. The property is not adjacent to any environmental study
areas or environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA), and no impacts to sensitive
habitat or other environmental resources is anticipated.
Finding:
H. The granting of the variance will not be contrary to, or in conflict with, the purpose of this
Implementation Plan, nor to the applicable policies of the certified Local Coastal Program.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Variance was approved in 1957 and predates the Coastal Act. Variance No. VA342
created a unique allowance for patio cover encroachments for all Beacon Bay properties
along the bay for sun protection and to allow the enjoyment of the front yard areas.
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 8 of 12
01-10-2023
Historically, the construction and maintenance of these patio encroachments have not
been in conflict with the preservation of coastal resources.
2. The encroachment would not conflict with the purpose of the Implementation Plan nor the
policies of the Local Coastal Program because it will not impact environmental resources,
public access, nor the visual quality of the coastal zone. Additionally, the coastal variance
will allow the subject property owner to maintain their historic property right for sun and
wind protection that has existed for 67 years in this area.
SECTION 4. DECISION.

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. Before the final building permit inspection, a waterproofing curb or similar design feature
shall be constructed around the proposed residence as an adaptive flood protection
device up to a minimum of 10.9 feet (NAVD88). Flood shields (sandbags and other
methods) can be deployed across the openings to protect and prevent flooding to the
structure.
3. Should future bay water elevations exceed the proposed waterproofing curb of 10.95
feet (NAVD 88) on-site block walls shall be constructed up to 14.4 feet (NAVD 88), in
compliance with the City of Newport Beach Waterfront Project Guidelines and
Standards, Harbor Design Criteria Commercial & Residential Facilities. However, the
future on-site block walls shall not be required if the City installs a structure to protect
the community that meets the minimum elevation requirements.
4. The patio encroachment shall comply with all the development regulations found in
Variance 342. Additionally, the glass panels shall provide the minimum etching
necessary to prevent bird strikes to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division
during plan check.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2024-001
Page 10 of 12
01-10-2023
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.
8. This Coastal Development Permit does not authorize any development seaward of the
private property. Prior to the final of building permits, all nonconforming hardscape
encroachments onto the sand shall be removed.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The discharge of any hazardous materials into storm sewer systems or receiving waters
