WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65852.2(a)(4) deems existing ordinances governing accessory dwelling units that do not meet the requirements of its provisions null and void as of the legislation's effective date in which case the standards established under state law apply; WHEREAS, Section 20.48.200 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") regulating accessory dwelling units, most recently amended in 2018 pursuant to Ordinance No. 2018-14, is partially inconsistent with Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22; WHEREAS, the City desires to amend Title 20's (Planning and Zoning) provisions related to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units in order to retain local control to the maximum extent permitted by Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22;

Ordinance No. 2020-9 Page 3 of 13 WHEREAS, the elimination of off-street parking in residential properties within the Coastal Zone would create a significant impact to public parking and limit visitor access to coastal resources, therefore, replacement parking for conversion of garages, carports, and other covered parking is necessary in order to preserve the limited parking supply and ensure this code amendment is consistent with the California Coastal Act of 1976; WHEREAS, the City finds that maintaining rear alley setbacks and prohibiting parking in rear alley setbacks is essential to preserve vehicular maneuverability for residents, fire and life safety personnel traveling through the City's narrow alleyways along with prohibiting parking in front setbacks, unless located on a driveway with a minimum twenty (20) feet in depth to ensure that driveways are of sufficient depth to accommodate a vehicle entirely on-site without protruding into the public right-of-way and blocking pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicular traffic creating a life safety condition;
