That the proposed map and the design or improvements of the subdivision are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, and with applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and this Subdivision Code. Facts in Support of Finding: A -1. The proposed parcel map is for two -unit condominium purposes. A previously existing two -unit residence was demolished and is being replaced with a new 4,231- square -foot, two -unit duplex that is currently under construction. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the density of the R -2 Zoning District and the current General Plan Land Use Designation "Two -Unit Residential." Finding: B. That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development. Facts in Support of Finding: B -1. The lot is physically suitable for two -unit development because it is regular in shape and has a slope of less than 20 percent. Finding: C. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision making body may nevertheless approve such a subdivision if an environmental impact report was prepared for the project and a finding was made pursuant to Section 21081 of the California Environmental Quality Act that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. N Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 3 of 9 Facts in Support of Finding: C -1. This project has been reviewed, and it has been determined that it qualifies for a Class 15 categorical exemption pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (Section 15315, Article 19 of Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act). The Class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) exemption allows the division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are required, all services and access to the proposed parcels are available, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. The proposed parcel map is for condominium purposes and is consistent with all of the requirements of the Class 15 exemption. Finding: D. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. Facts in Support of Finding: D -1. The proposed parcel map is for residential condominium purposes. All construction for the project will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire Codes, which are in place to prevent serious public health problems. Public improvements will be required of the developer per Section 19.28.010 (General Improvement Requirements) of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 (Local agencies to regulate and control design of subdivisions) of the Subdivision Map Act. All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied with. Finding: E. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the decision making body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided and that these easements will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to the City Council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within a subdivision. Facts in Support of Finding: E -1. The two -unit project and associated improvements were designed so as to not conflict with an existing right -of -way easement running along the northwesterly portion of the property, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property. I Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 4 of 9 Finding: F. That, subject to the detailed provisions of Section 66474.4 of the Subdivision Map Act, if the land is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (Williamson Act), the resulting parcels following a subdivision of the land would not be too small to sustain their agricultural use or the subdivision will result in residential development incidental to the commercial agricultural use of the land. Facts in Support of Finding: F -1. The property is not subject to the Williamson Act because the subject property is not designated as an agricultural preserve and is less than 100 acres in area. F -2. The site will be developed for a residential use and is zoned for residential uses. Finding: G. That, in the case of a "land project" as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code: (1) There is an adopted specific plan for the area to be included within the land project; and (2) the decision making body finds that the proposed land project is consistent with the specific plan for the area. Facts in Support of Finding: G -1. The property is not a "land project' as defined in Section 11000.5 of the California Business and Professions Code because the existing subdivision does not contain 50 or more parcels. G -2. The project is not located within a specific plan area. Finding: H. That solar access and passive heating and cooling design requirements have been satisfied in accordance with Sections 66473.1 and 66475.3 of the Subdivision Map Act. Facts in Support of Finding: H -1. The proposed parcel map and improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California Building Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach Building Division enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and inspection process. 10 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 5 of 9 Finding: I. That the subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and Section 65584 of the California Government Code regarding the City's share of the regional housing need and that it balances the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of the City's residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. Facts in Support of Finding: 1 -1. The two -unit duplex is consistent with the R -2 Zoning District which allows two units on the property. Therefore, the parcel map for condominium purposes will not affect the City in meeting its regional housing need. Finding: J. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system will not result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Facts in Support of Finding: J -1. Wastewater discharge into the existing sewer system has been designed to comply with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements. Finding: K. For subdivisions lying partly or wholly within the Coastal Zone, that the subdivision conforms with the certified Local Coastal Program and, where applicable, with public access and recreation policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act. Facts in Support of Finding: K -1. The proposed parcel map is for two -unit condominium purposes. The proposed subdivision and improvements are consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan designation RT -D (Two -Unit Residential). K -2. The subject property conforms to public access policies of Chapter Three of the Coastal Act because the new development maintains public access from the nearest public roadway to the shoreline and along the coast. K -3 Recreation policies pertaining to water- oriented recreational activities and uses contained within Chapter Three of the Coastal Act are not applicable to the subject property. 11 Zoning Administrator Resolution No. ZA2013 -0 ## Paqe 6 of 9 SECTION 4.

Is t the same as "Parcel Map No. NP2013- 004 "? And does the resolution need to say it is also being roved? • Condition 7: duplica condition 18. One or the other should be deleted. • Condition 14: the intent is ss than clear. Does removing one tree mean they all have to be removed to make way for a si alk? • Condition 15: are there existing ove ad utilities that need to be undergrounded? If yes, it would be helpful to specify what they are. not, the condition should be deleted. • Condition 17: the underlined phrase "Prior to r rdation of the parcel man," seems to be unintended. Should it be deleted? • Condition 18: see 7 • The very similar Item 3 on today's agenda contains a condition egarding smoke detectors and a condition 21 requiring a variety of additional permits. Why ar me approvals subject to conditions different from others? "Attachment No. ZA 3" is labeled as "Project Plans," but instead seems to be the "Parcel Ift No. NP2013 -004" referred to in the resolution. The map itself labels the structure as "Proposed 3 Sim. Duplex." Should that be corrected to "Proposed 3 Story Condominium" or, more generically, "Prof 3 Story Residence "? Item 3. 418 Carnation Avenue Parcel Map (PA2013 -035) In the draft Resolution of Approval: • Fact E -1: see note at end, below, about applicant's apparent desire to dedicate an easement to the City. • Fact G -2: this seems unnecessary since G -1 has established this is not a "land project." • Fact K -2: In the absence of a certified Coastal Plan, the City is not authorized to make findings of consistency with the Coastal Act, and a Coastal Development Permit is required to establish that. The Executive Director of the Coastal Commission may well deem this project eligible for a waiver; but he might not. The Zoning Administrator cannot make that determination. • Section 4.1: the title block to the staff report refers to a "County Tentative Parcel Map No. 2012- 156." Is that the same as "Parcel Map No. NP2013- 006 "? And does the resolution need to say it is also being approved? The parcel map provided as Attachment No. ZA 3 contains at least one typo, where it says "THIS SITE IS NOT IN A FLOOD HAHAZARD ZONE OR SUBJECT TO FLOODING." Should " HAHAZARD" be corrected to "HAZARD" before it is recorded? More substantively, at the bottom of the map it says "THE AREA COVERING EASMENT NO 3 IS PROPOSED TO BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR STREET PURPOSES." I am unable to find any reference to this in the staff report, nor anything in the resolution as to how it will be effectuated.
