• A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING AN AMENDMENT
TO THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM LAND USE PLAN
AND SUBMISSION TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL
COMMISSION [LCP NO. 551
WHEREAS, An application has been filed proposing the redesignation of the
property located at 1514 Balboa Boulevard from Governmental, Educational, Institutional
and Facilitates (GEIF) to Two Family Residential (R -2); and,
WHEREAS, On July 6, 2000, 1998, the Planning Commission of the City of
Newport Beach held a public hearing on Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) LCP
No. 55 and recommended approval; and
WHEREAS, On August 8, 2000, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach
held a public hearing on Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 and approved the
request; and
WHEREAS, The public was duly noticed of the public hearings in accordance
with the Newport Beach Municipal Code and State Law; and,
• WHEREAS, Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, it has been
determined that the proposed amendment is categorically exempt under a Class 3
Exemption, New Construction; and
WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Newport Beach finds that the project
is consistent with the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan and the California Coastal Act
as follows:
Section 1. That the public and affected agencies have had ample opportunity to
participate in the LCPA process. The required public notification was provided for this
application in accordance with City and State law.
Section 2. That all policies, objectives, and standards of the LCPA conform to the
requirements of the Coastal Act, including that the land use plan as amended is in
conformance with and adequate to cant' out the Chapter Three policies of the Coastal Act.
The redesignation of the vacant subject property is consistent with Chapter Three, in that
non - residential uses are not suitable for this site, given its small size and its location
adjacent to the SCE substation. The site does not abut the water. The site is insufficient in
size to provide adequate off - street parking for non - residential uses. The site has R -2
residential development to the south and across the street. The redesignation of the subject
site to R -2 would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses and development
• in the area.
Section 3. That Coastal Act policies concerning specific coastal resources, hazard
areas, coastal access concerns, and land use priorities have been applied to determine the
• type, locations, and intensity of land and water uses. The site contains no coastal resources
or hazards. The project will not interfere with the public's right of access to coastal
resources as the site does not abut the Pacific Ocean, Newport Bay or other coastal
resource. The site will not reasonably serve a public access function as there is vertical
public access to Newport Bay provided just south of the site on 15`h Street and additional
access through the subject property is not needed. The resignation of the site to R -2 will not
interfere with the marinas, docking facilities or boating facilities in the area, since any new
development must comply with the required on site parking standards setbacks, height and
other related City regulations. Non - residential uses are not suitable for this site, given its
small size and its location adjacent to the SCE substation. The site is insufficient in size to
provide adequate off - street parking for non - residential uses; therefore the R -2 designation
is the most appropriate use and intensity for the subject site.
Section 4. That the level and pattern of development proposed is reflected in the
Land Use Plan, Zoning Code, and Zoning Map. The site has R -2 residential development to
the south and across the street. The R -2 designation allows a maximum density of a duplex
on the site. All new development must comply with the required on -site parking standards
setbacks, height and other related City regulations.
Section 5. That a procedure has been established to ensure adequate notice of
interested persons and agencies of impending development proposed after certification of
• the LCPA. The Local Coastal Plan Land Use Plan amendment shall be implemented in a
manner fully in conformity with the Coastal Act, including proper notification. All new
development will be subject to R -2 regulations of the City.
Section 6. That zoning measures are in place (prior to or concurrent with the
LCPA), which are in conformance with and adequate to carry out the coastal policies of the
Land Use Plan. The City has rezoned the site to R -2 concurrent with the General Plan and
LCPA applications to be consistent.
Section 7. The City's certified Land Use Plan, including this amendment shall be
implemented in a manner fully in conformity with the Coastal Act.
Section 8. The Planning Director is hereby directed to submit Local Coastal
Program Amendment No. 55 to the California Coastal Commission for review and
approval.
Section 9. The change of the land use designation of the subject property located at
1514 Balboa Boulevard from Governmental, Educational, Institutional and Facilitates
(GEIF) to Two Family Residential (R -2); shall only become effective upon the approval of
Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 55 by the California Coastal Commission.
• Section 10. Pursuant to Section 13518 of the California Code of Regulations this
Land Use Plan amendment shall take effect automatically upon Coastal Commission action
unless the Coastal Commission proposes suggested modifications. In the event that the
Coastal Commission proposes revisions, this Land Use Plan amendment shall not take
• effect until the City Council adopts the Commission modifications and all the requirements
of Section 13544 of the California Code of Regulations are met.
