A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
NEWPORT BEACH APPROVING COASTAL RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 2003 -002 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
AT 206 E. BALBOA BOULEVARD (PA2003 -201).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was filed by Jim Cefalia, with respect to property located at
206 E. Balboa Boulevard, and legally described as Lots 4, 5 & 6, Block 4 of the Newport Bay
Tract, requesting approval of Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2003 -002 to
authorize the demolition of a 6 -unit apartment building within the Coastal Zone containing 4
units occupied by low or moderate income households.
Section 2. A public hearing was held on December 4, 2003, in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, Califomia. A notice of the time, place
and purpose of the aforesaid meeting was given. Evidence, both written and oral, was
presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds the following:
Govemment Code Section 65590 requires the replacement of dwelling units when
demolished if they are occupied by low or moderate income households and located within
the Coastal Zone.
2. Information supplied by the applicant indicates that 4 of the 6 units located at the subject
property are occupied by low or moderate income households.
3. A financial feasibility study was conducted by Keyser Marston & Associates to determine
whether or not it is financially feasible to replace the 4 affordable units proposed to be
demolished. The feasibility study concludes that it is financially infeasible to require 4
replacement affordable units at the subject property.
4. Due to the reduction in affordable units within the City with the demolition proposed, the
applicant should mitigate that loss through the payment of an in -lieu fee to the City, which
can be used to increase the affordable housing supply within the City.
5. An in -lieu fee of $13,500 per affordable unit ($54,000 total) has been proposed by the City
and the applicant has agreed to the payment.
Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission approves
Coastal Residential Development Permit No. 2003 -002 subject to the payment of an in -lieu fee
to the City of Newport Beach in the amount of Fifty -Four Thousand Dollars ($54,000).
Planning Commission Resolution No.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 4th DAY OF DECEMBER, 2003.
