RECOMMENDATION
1) Conduct a public hearing; 2) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA
Guidelines, because this project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and 3) The hearing officer may grant, or conditionally grant, up to a 180-calendar day
extension, per application for extension, if the officer finds special circumstances
warrant an extension of time, or the failure to meet the time limit was caused by circumstances beyond the property owner, applicant, or the contractor’s control. If the officer makes the findings to grant an extension, then the officer shall consider whether conditions are necessary to ensure the timely completion of the project in
a manner that limits impacts to the surrounding property owners. The hearing
officer shall deny the application if they cannot make the findings set forth in Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 15.02.095 (Addition of Sections 105.3.3, 105.3.4, and 105.3.5).
PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this hearing was published in the Daily Pilot, mailed to all owners of property within 300 feet of the boundaries of the site (excluding intervening rights-of-way and

he requested it and we
arrive next day. Depending
on correction or approval he
would move onto the next

between inspections was
dependent on the speed of
the contractor. Regarding

day turnaround policy in most
