A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
APPROVING LOCAL COASTAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2003 -003, AMENDING
THE SECTION TITLED "NEWPORT CENTER 1. BLOCK 900 — HOTEL PLAZA"
FOR PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS 1150 GRANVILLE DRIVE (PA2002 -244)
Section 1. An amendment to the Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan has been
requested with respect to property located at 1150 Granville Drive and legally described as Tract 14839,
Lot 10 requesting to change the permitted commercial development allocation from 5,000 square feet to
8,000 square feet.
Section 2. A public hearing was held on August 26, 2003 in the City Hall Council
Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place and purpose of
the aforesaid meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal Code. Evidence, both written and
oral, was presented to and considered by the City Council meeting.
Section 3. The City Council finds as follows:
1. The Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan amendment will create consistency with the
General Plan and Zoning Code development allocations.
2. Coastal Act policies concerning specific coastal resources, hazard areas, coastal access
concerns, and land use priorities have been applied to determine the type, locations, and
intensity of land and water uses. The site contains no coastal resources or hazards. The
project will not interfere with the public's right of access to coastal resources or adversely
impact coastal views as the site does not abut the Pacific Ocean, Newport Bay or other
coastal resource. The site does not reasonably serve a public access function nor is it an
appropriate location for coastal access parking and additional access through the subject
property is not needed. Finally, the additional development allocation will not interfere with
the marinas, docking facilities or boating facilities in the area; therefore approval of this
amendment is consistent with the City's Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan and the
Coastal Act.
3. A procedure has been established to ensure adequate notice of interested persons and
agencies of impending development proposed after certification of the LCPA. The Local
Coastal Plan Land Use Plan amendment shall be implemented in a manner fully in
conformity with the Coastal Act, including proper notification.
4. Zoning measures are in place (prior to or concurrent with the proposed amendment), which
are in conformance with and adequate to carry out the coastal policies of the Land Use Plan.
The site is currently zoned Administrative, Professional and Financial (8,000), which allows a
maximum of 8,000 square feet of commercial development. This amendment creates
consistency between Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan and the Zoning Code.
5. The Land Use Element of the Newport Beach General Plan designates the property as
Administrative, Professional and Financial Commercial and grants 8,000 square feet of
entitlement for commercial development. This amendment creates consistency between
Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan and the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
6. The development allocation change affecting the subject property located at 1150 Granville
Avenue shall only become effective upon the approval of Local Coastal Program
Amendment No. 2003 -003 by the California Coastal Commission.
7. Pursuant to Section 13518 of the California Code of Regulations this Land Use Plan
amendment shall take effect automatically upon Coastal Commission action unless the
Coastal Commission proposes suggested modifications. In the event that the Coastal
Commission proposes revisions, this Land Use Plan amendment shall not take effect until
the City Council adopts the Commission modifications and all the requirements of Section
13544 of the California Code of Regulations are met.
8. The proposed project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt from the requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures). The proposal involves construction of a new office building less than 10,000
square feet located on site in an urbanized area which is not environmetally sensitive.and where
all necessary public services are available.
Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the City Council hereby approves Local
Coastal Plan Amendment No. 2003 -003 as depicted in Attachment No. 1. The Planning Director is
hereby directed to submit Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 2003 -003 to the California
