HomeMy WebLinkAbout2013-4 - Adopt Zoning Code Amendment No. CA2012-009 Regarding Single Room Occupancy Residential Hotels and Parking Requirements for Emergency Shelters (PA2012-179)AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH ADOPTING ZONING CODE AMENDMENT
NO. CA2012-009 REGARDING SINGLE ROOM OCCUPANCY
RESIDENTIAL HOTELS AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
EMERGENCY SHELTERS (PA2012-179).
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1. The 2008-2014 Housing Element includes Housing Program (HP) 5.1.7 mandating the
City to define SRO's within the Zoning Code and permit SROs within the commercial
and office districts as previously provided for.
2. In 2008 the State enacted Government Code Sections 65583(a)(4) and 65583(a)(7)
(Senate Bill No. 2) which require the City to designate zoning districts where
emergency shelters will be allowed without requiring a use permit or other
discretionary review. Although the City Zoning Code complies with this requirement,
no specific parking standards for emergency shelters were adopted.
3. The City adopted a comprehensive update of the Zoning Code in October of 2010. The
definition of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Residential Hotels and the appropriate
Zoning Districts where they are allowed were inadvertently omitted; additionally a specific
parking standard for emergency shelters was not identified but rather, deferred to a future
conditional use permit process when emergency shelters are permitted by right in two
zoning districts.
4. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 17, 2013, in the City
Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice
of time, place, and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport
Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and
considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting.
5. On January 17, 2013, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1903
recommending City Council adoption of Code Amendment No. CA2012-009 which
adds a definition and provisions for SRO's and adds minimum parking requirements
for Emergency Shelters.
6. A public hearing was held by the City Council on February 12, 2013, in the City Hall
Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of
time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Newport
Beach Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and
considered by, the City Council at this meeting

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT DETERMINATION.
All significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in a
previously certified environmental document (Negative Declaration for the 2008-2014 Housing
Element Update adopted by City Council on November 22, 2011), and there are no mitigation
measures that should be considered in conjunction with this Code Amendment, The Negative
Declaration for the 2008-2014 Housing Element Update is available on file with the Planning
Division at the City of Newport Beach City Hall.
SECTION 3. FINDINGS
Amendment implements Housing Program HP 5.1.7 of the Newport Beach General
Plan Housing Element by amending the Zoning Code to include a definition of Single
Room Occupancy (SRO) Residential Hotels and add provisions that would permit
SROs within the commercial and office zoning districts pursuant to the City's approval
of a conditional use permit.
2. Amendment establishes a reasonable minimum parking requirement for emergency
shelters.
3. Both amendments implement the goals and programs of the adopted 2008-2014
Housing Element of the City of Newport Beach General Plan.
