WHEREAS, on November 7, 2006, the City of Newport Beach adopted a
comprehensive update of the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, Implementation Program 5.1 of the new General Plan calls for
review and revision of the Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan for
consistency with the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on March 8, 2007, in the City Hall
Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A
notice of time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with
the Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and
considered by, the Planning Commission at this meeting.
NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Local Coastal Program Amendment is necessary to update
the Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan to reflect the location,
type, densities, and intensities of land uses established by the new Land Use
Element and to incorporate other new polices of the General Plan.
SECTION 2. The Local Coastal Program Amendment updates the Coastal
Land Use Plan to include the relevant portion of the General Plan that is
sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, location, and intensity of land uses and
the applicable resource protection and development policies.
SECTION 3. The updated Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan is
intended to be carried out in a manner fully in conformity with the California
Coastal Act.
SECTION 4. The updated Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan
meets the requirements of, and is in conformity with, the policies of Chapter 3
(commencing with Section 30200) of the California Coastal Act.

until approval of the amendment by the California Coastal Commission.

SECTION 6. Pursuant to Section 15168 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the
LCP Amendment has been found to be within the scope of the project
covered by the certified Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No
2006011119) for the City of Newport Beach General Plan 2006 Update.
Pursuant to Sections 15162 and 15163 of the State CEQA Guidelines, no
subsequent EIR or supplement to the EIR is required because, on the basis
of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, (1) the LCP
Amendment is consistent with the General Plan; (2) the LCP Amendment
presents no new effects that could occur that were not examined in the
Program EIR; and (3) there is no new information to suggest that new
mitigation measures are required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the aforementioned
findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council of
the City of Newport Beach approve LCP Amendment No. 2007 -001 (PA 2007-
027) to update the Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan as provided in
Exhibits A through C.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 8TH DAY OF MARCH 2007.
