NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, August 22, 2019, at 6:30 p.m. or soon thereafter as
the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic
Center Drive, Newport Beach. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the
following application:
Transfer of Development Rights LCP Amendment – Amendments to the Coastal Land Use Plan of
the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Title 21 (Local Coastal
Program Implementation Plan) to include a policy and regulations pertaining to the transfer of
development rights in a manner consistent with and allowed by the Newport Beach General Plan.
Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the amendment is statutorily exempt from the CEQA in accordance with Section 21065 of CEQA and
State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060 (c)(2), 15060 (c)(3), and 15378. The proposed action is also
exempt from the CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Lastly, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15265(a)(1), local governments are
exempt from the requirements of CEQA in connection with the adoption of a Local Coastal Program.
The Amendment itself does not authorize development that would directly result in physical change to
the environment.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony in regard to 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, at, or prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures
