Local Coastal Zone Boundary PACIFIC OCEAN Potential Deferred LCP Segment ops w�a Document Name: IP_Potential_LCP_Segments_Citywide .Eo oa> C ASI ATTACHMENT LCP Implementation Keylssues 1. ISSUE: CONTINUATION OF THE CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION ORDER DISCUSSION: Since 1977, a categorical exclusion order has exempted most single - unit and two -unit development from the coastal development permit provisions of the Coastal Act. The categorical exclusion order applies to the residential areas of Balboa Island, the Balboa Peninsula, Cameo Highlands, Corona del Mar, Corona Highlands, Irvine Terrace, Lido Isle, Newport Heights, Newport Shores, Shorecliffs, Upper Newport Bay, and West Newport, with the exception of the first row of lots adjacent to the shoreline. Pursuant to the Coastal Act, this categorical exclusion order will automatically terminate after the LCP is certified. The Coastal Commission staff has indicated that they will support reaffirming the categorical exclusion order that would be considered after certification of the LCP. However, it is uncertain if all areas covered by the current categorical exclusion will continue to be exempted under a new categorical exclusion order. 2. ISSUE: EXPANDING THE CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION ORDER DISCUSSION: The Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP) includes policies supporting expanding the categorical exclusion to include all residential areas (i.e., multi -family and planned communities) and the commercial area located on the south side of Coast Highway in Corona del Mar. The CLUP also suggests requesting a categorical exclusion for residential areas of Newport Center (Villa Point, Island Lagoon, and Greenville). In the past, Coastal Commission staff has indicated tacit support of this; however, this issue has not been thoroughly vetted. 3. ISSUE: COASTAL BLUFFS AND CANYONS DEVELOPMENT LIMITS DISCUSSION: The Zoning Code Bluff Overlay District establishes special development standards for projects in identified bluff areas. Coastal Commission staff has received, but has not provided comments on the Bluff Overlay development standards. The City has approved a few projects under Bluff Overlay standards only to receive a negative recommendation by Coastal Commission staff on the coastal development permits for these projects. Furthermore, the Bluff Overlay does not apply to Upper Newport Bay bluff properties. Bluff development is regulated by standard rear setbacks or planned community districts, which may also be seen as inadequate by Coastal Commission staff. Coastal Commission staff may recommend more restrictive bluff protection standards. If more restrictive standards are adopted, projects approved under the current standards could be made nonconforming. The CLUP calls for the establishment of canyon development setbacks based on the predominant line of existing development for Buck Gully and Morning Canyon. A Canyon Overlay District was considered, but not included in the Zoning Code. Development standards and/or a development review procedure will be needed to be created in order to implement this policy.
