NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. or soon thereafter as the
matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted online via Zoom. The Zoning Administrator of the City of
Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Brighton Road Investments LLC Residence - A request for a coastal development permit (CDP) to authorize the
construction of a 1,243-square-foot addition to an existing 3,326-square-foot one-story single-unit dwelling and
attached 748-square-foot three-car garage. The addition includes a 683-square-foot detached accessory dwelling
unit (ADU), along with landscaping, hardscape, and drainage facilities.
A modification permit is also required to allow the reconstruction of the existing driveway leading to the three-car
garage. The existing and proposed driveway is 29 feet, 6 inches wide, which exceeds the maximum permitted width
of 25 feet for a three-car garage under Subsection 20.40.090(A)(3)(c) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Aside from the driveway width, the project complies with all applicable development standards, and no other
deviations are requested. All improvements authorized by this CDP will be located on private property.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15303 – Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures) of the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this project
in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written
correspondence delivered to the City or before the public hearing. The application may be continued to a specific
future meeting date; if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided.
Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapters 20.64
(Appeals) and 21.64 (Appeals and Calls for Review). A fee is not required to appeal any final action on a coastal
development permit to the Planning Commission. The project site is located within the appeal area of the coastal
zone; therefore, final action by the City may be appealed to the California Coastal Commission
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the Friday
preceding the public hearing and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay
C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or the City of Newport Beach website at
www.newportbeachca.gov/zoningadministrator. Please review the Zoning Administrator Agenda for Zoom
participation instructions. Individuals not able to attend the meeting may contact the Planning Division or access
the City’s website after the meeting to review the action on this application. All mail or written communications
(including email) from the public, residents, or applicants regarding an agenda item must be submitted by 12:00
p.m. on the business day immediately before the meeting. This allows time for the Zoning Administrator to
adequately consider the submitted correspondence.
