DISCUSSION
Land Use and Development Standards
The subject property is in the Single-Unit Residential (R-1) Coastal Zoning District,
which allows single-unit residential development on a single legal lot and is consistent
with the City’s Coastal Land Use Plan, General Plan, and Zoning Code. A coastal
development permit is required, and the property is not eligible for a waiver for de
minimis development because the property is in the Coastal Commission Appeal
Area.
The subject property consists of one legal lot developed with an existing 3,247
square-foot, single-unit dwelling. The neighborhood is predominantly developed
with single- and two-story, single-unit dwellings. The Project’s design, bulk, and
scale of the development is consistent with the existing neighborhood pattern of
development and expected future development.
The proposed single-unit dwelling conforms to all applicable development standards
including floor area limit, setbacks, height, and off-street parking as evidenced by the
project plans and illustrated in Table 1 below.
Hazards
The subject property fronts the Newport Bay. A Coastal Hazards and a Bulkhead
Conditions Report for the Project was prepared by PMA Consulting, Inc. dated May
14, 2023. The current maximum bay water elevation is 7.70 feet based on the North
American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and may exceed the existing 9.08 feet
NAVD88 top of bulkhead elevation during high tide or storm events. The report
analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming a 3.05-foot increase in the
maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the structure). Therefore,
the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.75 feet NAVD88 (the likely range

for sea level rise over the 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 estimated sea level rise over the next 75 years,
using the Medium-High Risk Aversion, is potentially 6.7 feet, 14.4 feet NAVD88.
The report concluded that the existing bulkhead shall be reinforced and raised to a
height of 12.80 NAVD88 with capability of increasing to a height 14.4 feet NAVD 88
without further seaward encroachment. Based on the data provided, the study
concludes that coastal hazards will not significantly impact the Property over the
next 75 years, as the proposed Project has minimal risk from flooding.
On March 23, 2021, the City Council approved updated Waterfront Project Design
Guidelines and Standards, Harbor Design Criteria Commercial & Residential
Facilities. The guidelines require that any bulkhead structure permitted within the
years 2021through 2025 must have a minimum bulkhead elevation of 10.9 feet
NAVD 88 with a design for adaptability elevation of 14.4 feet NAVD 88. The Project
is raising the bulkhead to an elevation of 12.80 feet NAVD 88, as recommended
by the Coastal Hazards and Bulkhead Conditions Report, which exceeds the City’s
minimum standard of 10.9 feet NAVD88 with capability of increasing to a height 14.4
feet NAVD 88.
The finished floor elevation of the proposed structure is 11.34 feet NAVD88 which
complies with the minimum 9.00-foot NAVD 88 finished floor elevation standard
for new structures.
Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Natural Landform and Shoreline
Protection) of the NBMC, the Owner will be required to enter into an agreement 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). The Owners 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). These
requirements are included as Condition of Approval Nos. 8 and 9, and will need to
be satisfied prior to final building inspection, and prior to the issuance of building
permits, respectively.
The property is located 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 a building permit. Permit issuance is also contingent on the inclusion
of design mitigation identified in the investigations. Construction plans are reviewed
3
Clarke Residence (PA2024-0118)

for compliance with approved investigations and CBC before building permit
issuance.
Water Quality
Pursuant to Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan) of the NBMC,
due to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development
containing more than 75% of impervious surface area, a Water Quality
Management Plan (WQMP) is required. A preliminary WQMP prepared by Toal
Engineering, dated February 14, 2023, and has been reviewed by the City’s
Geologist Engineer. The WQMP includes a polluted runoff and hydrologic site
characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of a LID approach to retain the
design storm runoff volume on site, and documentation of the expected
effectiveness of the proposed BMPs.
The Property is located adjacent to 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.
Public Access and Views
The Property is located within the first public road and the sea. Section 21.30A.040
(Determination of Public Access/ Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC 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 dwelling with a new single-unit dwelling, consistent
with the existing neighborhood pattern of development and applicable development
standards. Therefore, the Project does not involve a change in land use or intensity
that will result in increased demand for public access and recreation opportunities.
Lateral access to the Promontory Bay and the harbor is available along Bayside
Drive, as a public walkway. Three beach access locations are also located near the
property along Beacon Bay. The Project is located entirely within the confines of
private property, except for improvements to the driveway within the public right-of-
way. The Project does not include any features that would obstruct access along the
public walkway or any of the nearby public beach access locations.

The Project is located within the vicinity of coastal view roads and coastal viewpoints
as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is
approximately 900 feet to the north at the corner of Harbor Island Road and Bayside
Drive; however, the Project is not visible from that location due to the intervening
structures. The Property is also within the general view as seen from other viewpoints
above the Property. The Project replaces an existing two-story single-unit dwelling
with a new two-story single-unit dwelling that complies with all applicable Title 21
(Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) development standards and maintains
a building envelope consistent with the existing pattern of development and expected
future development. Therefore, the Project does not have the potential to degrade
the visual quality of the Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts on public
views.
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 demolition of up to three single-family dwellings and additions of up
to 10,000 square feet to existing structures. The Project consists of the demolition of a single-
unit dwelling and the construction of a new single-unit dwelling located in the R-1 Coastal
Zoning District. Therefore, the Class 3 exemption is applicable.
There are no known exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 that would
invalidate the use of this exemption. 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.

e. The Project proposes a minimum top of slab elevation of 11.34 feet based on the
North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) which complies with the
minimum 9.0-foot NAVD 88 top of slab elevation requirement for new structures.

2. The neighborhood is predominantly developed with single- and two-story, single-unit
dwellings. The proposed design, bulk, and scale of the development is consistent with
the existing neighborhood pattern of development and expected future development.
3. A Coastal Hazards and Bulkhead Conditions Report was prepared for the Project by PMA
Consulting, Inc., dated May 14, 2023. The current maximum bay water elevation is 7.70
NAVD88 and may exceed the existing 9.08 feet NAVD88 top of bulkhead elevation during
high tide or storm events. The report analyzes future sea level rise scenarios assuming a
3.05-foot increase in the maximum water level over the next 75 years (i.e. the life of the
structure). Therefore, the sea level is estimated to reach approximately 10.75 feet NAVD88
(the likely range for sea level rise over the 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 estimated sea level rise over the next 75 years, using
the Medium-High Risk Aversion, is potentially 6.7 feet, 14.4 feet NAVD88. The report
concluded that the existing bulkhead shall be reinforced and raised to a height of 12.80
NAVD88 with capability of increasing to a height 14.4 feet NAVD88 without further
seaward encroachment. Based on the data provided, the study concludes that coastal
hazards will not significantly impact the Property over the next 75 years, as the proposed
Project has minimal risk from flooding.
4. On March 23, 2021, the City Council approved updated Waterfront Project Design
Guidelines and Standards, Harbor Design Criteria Commercial & Residential Facilities.
The guidelines require that any bulkhead structure permitted within the years 2021
through 2025 must have a minimum bulkhead elevation of 10.9 feet NAVD88 with a
design for adaptability elevation of 14.4 feet NAVD88. The Project is raising the
bulkhead to an elevation of 12.80 feet NAVD88, as recommended by the Coastal
Hazards and Bulkhead Conditions Report, which exceeds the City’s minimum standard
of 10.9 feet NAVD88 with capability of increasing to a height 14.4 feet NAVD88.
5. Pursuant to NBMC Section 21.30.030(C)(3)(i)(iv) (Natural Landform and Shoreline
Protection) of the NBMC, the Owner will be required to enter into an agreement 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). The Owners 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). These requirements are included as Condition of
Approval Nos. 8 and 9 which will need to be satisfied prior to final building inspection, and
prior to the issuance of building permits, respectively.
6. 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
15

7. Pursuant to Section 21.35.050 (Water Quality and Hydrology Plan), of the NBMC, due
to the proximity of the development to the shoreline and the development containing
more than 75% of impervious surface area, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)
is required. A preliminary WQMP was prepared by Toal Engineering, dated February 14,
2023, was reviewed by the City’s Geologist Engineer. The WQMP includes a polluted
runoff and hydrologic site characterization, a sizing standard for BMPs, use of a LID
approach to retain the design storm runoff volume on site, and documentation of the
expected effectiveness of the proposed BMPs. A final WQMP shall be reviewed and
approved prior to the issuance of a building permit.
8. The Property is located adjacent to 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. Proposed landscaping complies with Section 21.30.075 (Landscaping) of the NBMC.
Condition of Approval No. 18 requires that landscape be designed to provide drought
tolerant plantings, non-invasive plant species and water efficient irrigation. A final
landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of a building permit
to verify invasive species are not planted.
10. The Project is located within the immediate vicinity of coastal view roads and coastal
viewpoints as identified in the Coastal Land Use Plan. The nearest coastal viewpoint is
approximately 900 feet to the north, at the corner of Harbor Island Road and Bayside Drive.
The Project is not visible from that location due to the intervening structures. The Property
is also within the general view as seen from other viewpoints above the Property. The
Project replaces an existing two-story, single-unit, dwelling with a new, two-story, single-
unit dwelling that complies with all applicable Title 21 (Local Coastal Program
Implementation Plan) development standards and maintains a building envelope
consistent with the existing pattern of development and expected future development.
Therefore, the Project does not have the potential to degrade the visual quality of the
Coastal Zone or result in significant adverse impacts on 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.
Facts in Support of Finding:
1. The Property is located between the first public road and the sea. Section 21.30A.040
(Determination of Public Access/ Recreation Impacts) of the NBMC requires that the
provision of public access bear a reasonable relationship between the requirement and the
16
Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2025-###
Page 5 of 10
01-10-2023
Project’s impact and be proportional to the impact. In this case, the Project replaces an
existing single-unit dwelling with a new single-unit dwelling, consistent with the existing
neighborhood pattern of development and applicable development standards. Therefore,
the Project does not involve a change in land use or intensity that will result in increased
demand for public access and recreation opportunities.
2.Lateral access to the Promontory Bay and the harbor is available along Bayside Drive, as
a public walkway. Three beach access locations are also located near the Property along
Beacon Bay. The Project is located entirely within the confines of private property, except
for improvements to the driveway within the public right-of-way. The Project does not
include any features that would obstruct access along the public walkway or any of the
nearby public beach access locations.
SECTION 4. DECISION.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1.The Zoning Administrator of the City of Newport Beach hereby finds this project is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15303
