HomeMy WebLinkAbout11 - Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001)November 7, 2016 Agenda Item No. 11 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Kimberly Brandt, Community Development Director - 949-644-3232, kbrandt@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Patrick J. Alford, Planning Program Manager, PAlford@newportbeachea.gov PHONE: 949-644-3235 TITLE: Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) ABSTRACT: The City Council will consider the adoption of the Local Coastal Program (LCP) Implementation Plan (IP) with the modifications suggested by the California Coastal Commission (Coastal Commission). The LCP Implementation Plan is a regulatory document intended to implement the policies of the California Coastal Act and the City's certified Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP). Adoption of the IP will be the final City action needed in obtaining a certified LCP from the Coastal Commission. RECOMMENDATION: a) Conduct a public hearing; b) Find that approval of the LCP Implementation Plan is statutorily exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15265(a) (1) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, and Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act; and c) Waive full reading, direct the City Clerk to read by title only, introduce Ordinance No. 2016-19, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Adding Title 21 to the Newport Beach Municipal Code and Approving the Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan, as Modified by the California Coastal Commission, and pass to second reading on November 22, 2016. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: The budget includes sufficient funding related to administrative costs associated with completing the post -certification process, which includes the Coastal Commission adoption of the post -certification map for the City. Post -certification LCP staff costs will be expensed to the 01050501-521015 account in the Community Development Department. Future administrative costs associated with LCP administration are addressed in the Discussion section of this report. Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 2 DISCUSSION: Intrnrli irtinn Pursuant to the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Coastal Act), each local government lying, in whole or in part, within the coastal zone is required to prepare a LCP for the coastal zone area within its jurisdiction. In addition, Senate Bill 516 (Chapter 11, Statutes of 2001) requires the City to submit an LCP to the Coastal Commission for approval and certification. Senate Bill 516 allowed the County of Orange to continue to exercise coastal development permit (CDP) review authority in Newport Coast through its certified LCP after this area was annexed to the City. An LCP consists of a CLUP and an IP. A land use plan indicates the types, location, and intensity of land uses, and the applicable resource protection and development policies. The City's CLUP was certified in 2005 and a major update was certified in 2009. The second component is the IP which uses the organization and terminology of the City's Zoning Code. In addition to land use and property development regulations, the IP incorporates other existing Municipal Code regulations (i.e., water quality, landscaping, subdivisions, and harbor operations) needed to implement Coastal Act and CLUP policies. The IP also contains regulations and procedures on public access, resource protection, and administration. The City has six months from the date the Commission approved the IP to accept the modifications, which occurred on September 8, 2016. If the City Council accepts all of the Commission's suggested modifications, the City Council's action is reported back to the Coastal Commission for final effective certification. After effective certification, the City would have the authority to issue CDPs. The Coastal Commission retains original permit jurisdiction over submerged lands, tidelands, and public trust lands and has appellate authority over development approved by local government in specified geographic areas. If the City Council does not accept all of the suggested modifications, then the City would not have a certified LCP and the City would continue to rely on the Coastal Commission for CDP authority. The City could also choose to resubmit a modified LCP Implementation Plan application to the Coastal Commission. Chronoloav of Citv and Coastal Commission Action on the IP On November 10, 2015, the City Council unanimously approved the IP. On April 14, 2016, the Coastal Commission approved most of the minor coastal zone boundary adjustments requested by the City. This action resulted in 175 properties with 282 dwelling units being removed from the coastal zone. On September 8, 2016, the Coastal Commission approved the IP with modifications. 11-2 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 3 Coastal Commission Suggested Modifications The Coastal Commission's suggested modifications to the IP are voluminous (Attachment B). However, most of these modifications are minor and involve use of terms and phrases mirroring those of the Coastal Act; references to other sections of the IP and to the Coastal Act; clarifications and caveats; and additional information. Other modifications involve significant changes to the LCP Implementation regulations and procedures. These modifications are to multiple sections of the LCP Implementation Plan, but involve the following seven issues: Bluff Overlay Bulkheads Beach Hours Shoreline Height Limitation Zone Bluff Overlay (IP Section 21.28.040) Lower Cost Visitor Accommodations Water Quality Sea Level Rise The Bluff (B) Overlay was adopted with the comprehensive update of the Zoning Code in 2010. The B Overlay places additional development restrictions on bluff lots by establishing three development zones on bluff lots: Development Area A for principal structures (i.e., homes); Development Area B for accessory structures; and Development Area C for minor accessory structures. The B Overlay is applied to primarily single-family zones in Cliff Haven (outside the coastal zone), Irvine Terrace, Corona del Mar, Shorecliffs, and Cameo Shores. The suggested modifications would place Dover Shores in the B Overlay, and add further development restrictions on lots that are subject to marine erosion in Shorecliffs, Cameo Shores, and Dover Shores: Dwelling units, swimming pools, and guest houses would have to be set back a minimum of 25 feet from the bluff edge (Development Area A); Accessory structures would have to be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the bluff edge (Development Area A and B); Private trails and stairways would no longer be permitted in Development Area C; Irrigations systems in Development Area C would be temporary only; Fences and walls would no longer be permitted in Development Area C; and 11-3 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 4 Drainage devices and underground utilities would only be permitted in Development Area C when it is not feasible to place them elsewhere on the property. The suggested modifications would also prohibit trails and stairways in Development Area C on 36 bluff lots on Avocado Avenue, Pacific Drive, Carnation Avenue, Polaris Drive, Galaxy Drive, and Santiago Drive. The suggested modifications would also apply the B Overlay to 92 bluff lots in Dover Shores. The Dover Shores B Overlay would contain development standards for lots that are subject to marine erosion and those not subject to marine erosion (see Table 1 below). TABLE 1 Lots Subject to the Proposed Dover Shores Bluff Overlay Subject to Marine Erosion Not subject to Marine Erosion 1310-1542 Galaxy (even numbers only) 1200-1244 Polaris (even numbers only) 1638-2018 Galaxy (even numbers only) 2024-2042 Galaxy (even numbers only) 930 & 940 Mariners (odd numbers only) 2036-2130 Santiago (even numbers only) 1001-1033 Mariners (odd numbers only) Lots subject to marine erosion would have the 25 -foot and 10 -foot bluff edge setbacks for principal structures and accessory structures, respectively. Development Area C would have the additional restrictions on minor accessory structures discussed above. Lots not subject to marine erosion in the Dover Shores B Overlay will have development zones which align with the existing rear setback lines. The suggested modifications to the Bluff Overlay in Irvine Terrace and on Ocean Boulevard do not change existing development regulations. CLUP Policies 4.4.3-3 and 4.4.3-4 call for 25 -foot and 10 -foot bluff edge setbacks for principal and accessory structures, respectively, on lots subject to marine erosion; however, these policies were not implemented in the Zoning Code Bluff Overlay. Furthermore, the Coastal Commission considers these setbacks the minimum necessary in areas subject to erosion and has been applying them in the City (including Dover Shores) and elsewhere in the coastal zone for a number of years. Bulkheads (IP Sections 21.30.015 and 21.28.030) The suggested modifications include new provisions on shoreline protective devices (e.g., bulkheads, seawalls, etc.). These provisions could have been interpreted as restricting the maintenance, repair and alteration of existing protective devices and their eventual removal. The City successfully argued that these provisions jeopardized the 11-4 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 5 22 -mile system of harbor bulkheads and the properties they protect. As a result, the suggested modifications now contain specific exemptions for development along Newport Bay and overt statements on maintaining a system of harbor bulkheads essential to the continued operation of Newport Harbor and the protection of adjacent development. Beach Hours (IP Section 21.48.055) The Draft IP only contained a statement that the City has regulated the use of the public beaches at night since 1947 and would continue to do so consistent with the Municipal Code. The suggested modifications would specify the current beach hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Additionally, any change to these hours would require an LCP amendment approved by the Coastal Commission. Provisions for the emergency closures and closures to abate public nuisances are also included. Finally, the suggested modifications include statements acknowledging beach closures and curfews do not apply to the public's Constitutional and statutory rights of access to State waters (i.e., seaward of the mean high tide line and at least 20 feet inland of the wet sand) which is permitted at all times. Shoreline Height Limitation Zone (IP Section 21.30.060) CLUP Policy 4.4.2-1 calls for the City to maintain the 35 -foot height limitation in the Shoreline Height Limitation Zone. The Coastal Commission has subsequently interpreted this policy as an absolute 35 -foot height limit without exceptions and which cannot be exceeded without an LCP amendment. The City attempted to address this misconception by including the current Zoning Code exceptions for assembly and meeting facilities, architectural features, chimneys and vents, elevator shafts and enclosed stairwells, etc. and a procedure with required findings to exceed the base height limits. However, the suggested modifications specify that these provisions do not apply to the Shoreline Height Limitation area. Therefore, any development exceeding the 35 -foot height limit would require an LCP amendment approved by the Coastal Commission, as was the case with the Marina Park lighthouse feature and Lido House Hotel. Staff recommends revisiting this issue following LCP certification with an amendment to reinstate the City's Zoning Code. Lower Cost Visitor Accommodations (IP Section 21.48.025) The Coastal Act and the City's CLUP call for the protection of lower cost visitor accommodations. The IP addressed this by requiring an impact analysis for any project involving the demolition, conversion, closure, or cessation of an existing lower coast visitor accommodation. The IP also requires mitigation of impacts by providing replacement units or payment of an in -lieu fee. 11-5 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 6 The suggested modifications would expand this requirement to any development also involving the expansion, reduction, or redevelopment of any visitor accommodations, including new visitor accommodations and timeshares. Water Quality (IP Section 21.30.135 and Chapter 21.35) The City's Draft IP included excerpts from Chapter 14.36 (Water Quality), which requires projects to meet the requirements of the County Drainage Area Management Plan (DAMP) and incorporate best management practices (BMPs). This section was reviewed by the Coastal Commission's Water Quality Program Analyst, who proposed numerous comments. After extensive discussions between the City's Water Quality staff and the analyst, it was decided that the best approach would be to delete the IP water quality section (IP Section 21.30.135) and replace it with the Coastal Commission's Model LCP Water Quality Guidance. This is incorporated into the LCP Implementation Plan as Chapter 21.35 (Water Quality). The City's Water Quality staff has determined that while the Model LCP Water Quality Guidance is much more detailed, it contains the same requirements, standards and practices as the City's existing water quality regulations. Sea Level Rise (IP Appendix A) In the 11 years since the CLUP was certified, sea level rise has emerged as a significant issue with the Coastal Commission. The CLUP has several policies that relate to sea level rise and these were addressed in the Draft IP by requiring hazard and resource protection studies including a sea level rise component. The City also included a Sea Level Rise appendix (Appendix A) that outlines what the City has done to date and an action plan for addressing sea level rise in the future. However, within weeks of the completion of final draft of the LCP Implementation Plan, the Coastal Commission adopted Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance. Interpretative Guidelines for Addressing Sea Level Rise in Local Coastal Programs and Coastal Development Permits. Coastal Commission staff called for the LCP Implementation Plan to incorporate as much of Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance as is possible; however, the data collection, technical analyses, risk assessment, and policy reassessments would take years to complete. A compromise was reached through modifications to Appendix A. The most significant of these require the City to conduct a vulnerability assessment and to include updated and new sea level policies through a future LCP update; however, no time frame is provided. Other comments generally consist of additional details and clarifications of the broad statements in Appendix A. As a trustee of granted public trust lands, the City has management responsibility for the development and uses of public trust lands that will be affected by sea -level rise. Assembly Bill 691 (AB 691) requires the City to assess the impacts of sea level rise on these public trust lands by July 1, 2019. The AB 691 assessment could be expanded to 11-6 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 7 include shoreline areas, low-lying areas and eroding coastal bluffs not on public trust lands. Deleted IP Sections The suggested modifications deleted a number of IP sections in part or in entirety. The significant deletions include: IP Section 21.28.030.D (Parking Management Overlay Districts Established) included the Balboa Village Parking Management Overlay District. This section was deleted because Coastal Commission staff believed that they did not have sufficient information and time to adopt a parking management (PM) plan as part of the LCP Implementation Plan. Coastal Commission staff indicated that the City could provide all the necessary information to establish a PM overlay in Balboa Village and establish the PM through an LCP amendment at a future date. IP Section 21.28.050.D (Canyon Overlay — Existing Structures) allowed existing structures that extend beyond the development stringline setback of the Canyon Overlay to be modified or replaced within the existing development footprint. IP Section 21.30B.040.E.3 (Exception for Restoration Projects) provided an exception that wetland restoration projects may include some fill for non - permitted uses if the wetlands are small, extremely isolated, and incapable of being restored. This exemption is in older LCPs, but it's no longer supported by the Coastal Commission. IP Section 21.40.145 (Preferential Parking Zones) allowed the City to establish preferential parking zones (i.e., residential parking permits) via a CDP. Although this is provided for in CLUP Policies 3.1.6-1 through 3.1.6-5, the Coastal Commission believed that the Draft IP did not provide procedures for data collection, such as traffic studies, parking occupancy surveys, etc. that would be necessary to determine if indeed the area is highly impacted by non-residential parking. City staff hopes to revisit this issue through a future LCP amendment. IP Section 21.48.095 (Special Events) provided regulations for special events. This section was determined to be unnecessary as special events are also addressed in IP Section 21.52.035.D. IP Section 21.48.105 (Limited Duration Uses and Structures) exempted limited duration uses and structures (e.g., construction yards, construction trailers, and seasonal sales) from CDP requirements. This section was deleted because exemptions are solely governed by the Coastal Act and its implementing regulations; therefore, it is unnecessary. IP Chapter 21.66 (Amendments) provided procedures for the amendment of the Local Coastal Program. Coastal Commission staff believes that it is inappropriate 11-7 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 8 for an implementation plan to include these procedures as the regulations for LCP amendments are solely governed by the Coastal Act and its implementing regulations. IP Section 21.80.045 (Permit and Appeal Jurisdiction Maps). The City prepared a draft set of maps setting the boundaries of permit jurisdiction areas, appeals areas, exclusion areas, and deferred certification areas. The Coastal Commission indicated that it was premature to include these maps in the IP, as approval for all of these maps require a separate Commission action after certification of the LCP. Appendix C (Eelgrass Mitigation Plan). This appendix was deleted without explanation. As the Coastal Commission believes that it is not needed to implement CLUP policies, City staff has no objections. New IP Sections The suggested modifications also add a number of new sections that were not included in the draft IP. The significant additions include: The CV -LV (Commercial Visitor-Serving—Lido Village) Zoning District was added. The Back Bay Landing Planned Community was added to IP Chapter 21.26 (Special Purpose Zoning Districts). The Parking Management (PM) Overlay District was added to IP Chapter 21.28 (Overlay Districts). As noted earlier, the Balboa Village Parking Management component of the PM Overlay was not included. The Zoning Code's off-street parking space standards were added to IP Section 21.40.070. The Zoning Code's provisions for off-site parking were added as IP Section 21.40.100. The City's short-term lodging regulations and operational standards were added as IP Section 21.48.115. The City's Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Ordinance was added to the LCP Implementation Plan as IP Chapter 21.49. A posted notice requirement has been added as IP Section 21.50.080 (Posting Notice). Currently, the City only posts a minimum of 10 days prior to the public hearing. For CDPs, a notice will have to be posted when the application is submitted. 11-8 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 9 The City's Oceanfront Encroachment Policy was added as the new Appendix C. Categorical Exclusion Order The Coastal Act also allows the Coastal Commission to create categorical exclusion orders, which exempt categories of development that do not have the potential to create a significant adverse effect on coastal resources or on public access. The City was granted a categorical exclusion order (Cat Ex) in 1977 that excludes single -unit and two -unit projects from CDP requirements, with the exception of the first row of lots on the shoreline. Pursuant to the Coastal Act, the Cat Ex will automatically terminate after the LCP is certified. The City's application for the continuation of the Cat Ex post -certification will be considered by the Coastal Commission on November 4, 2016. Coastal Commission staff is recommending approval. City staff will report on the outcome of this application at the IP public hearing. LCP Administration Costs The LCP administration costs will be recovered through permit fees. A cost of service/fee study has yet to be conducted. However, it is believed the current site development review application is comparable to a future CDP application. Under the current fee schedule, the application fee for a minor site development review is $2,467 and $4,344 for a major site development review. City application fees are estimated to be significantly lower than those charged by the Coastal Commission. The City CDP application fee for a hypothetical 20,000 -square - foot commercial project would be approximately $2,400. The Coastal Commission CDP application fee would be based on either the gross square footage ($16,620) or the development cost ($3,324 to $277,000), whichever is greater. Since the City does not have a CDP permit history to establish a flat fee, staff proposes initially establishing a deposit account requirement in the amount of $3,300 (the lowest deposit on the Master Fee Schedule) and then track staff time and charge against it. After one year, there should be enough information to come back to City Council with a flat fee for CDPs. This proposed amendment to the Master Fee Schedule will be brought to the City Council for consideration on November 22, 2016. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposal is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15265(a) (1) of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, and Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. 11-9 Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (PA2013-001) November 7, 2016 Page 10 NOTICING: Notice of this amendment was published in the Daily Pilot as an eighth page advertisement, consistent with the provisions of the Municipal Code. Additionally, notice was mailed to interested parties.

LCP-5-NPB-15-0039-1 is the Implementation Plan portion of the LCP which includes development standards, zoning maps and community plans to carry out the policies of the certified Land Use Plan, together both documents would complete the City's Local Coastal Program for the area governed by the plan. The Commission approved the Implementation Plan with suggested modifications. Thus, the Implementation Plan will become final once: 1) the City of Newport Beach City Council adopts the Commission's suggested modifications, 2) the City of Newport Beach City Council forwards the adopted suggested modifications to the Commission by Resolution, and, 3) the Executive Director certifies that the City has complied with the Commission's September 8, 2016 action. The Coastal Act requires that the City's adoption of the suggested modifications be completed within six (6) months of the Commission's action. Pursuant to the Commission's action on September 8, 2016, certification of LCP-5-NPB-15-0039-1 is subject to the attached Suggested Modifications (Attachment "A").

B. Relationship to Coastal Land Use Plan. This Implementation Plan is the primary tool used by the City to carry out the goals, objectives, and policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan. It is intended that all provisions of this Implementation Plan be consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan and that any development, land use, or subdivision approved in compliance with these regulations will also be consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan, and if the proposed development is located between the first public road and the sea or the shoreline of any body of water located within the coastal zone, anv approved development must be in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. C. Relationship to General Plan. Should a conflict exist between the development s- set forth in any element of the City's General Plan, zoning, or any other ordinance and those of the Coastal Land Use Plan, the D MOSt nr^t^nti„^ Of Geastal r^S^„r, eS policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan shall take precedence. However, in no case, shall the policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan be interpreted to allow a development to exceed a development limit established by the General Plan or its implementing ordinances. 21.10.040 — Applicability of Implementation Plan The regulations of this Implementation Plan shall apply to all development of land and water in the Coastal Zone within the City of Newport Beach, hereafter referred to as the "City," and its sphere of influence, with the exception of Newport Coast and uncertified areas, deferred certification areas and original permit jurisdiction areas established by the Coastal Land Use depicted on the Post-LCP Certification Permit and ADDeal Jurisdiction Mag adopted Dursuant to Coastal Act Section 30519. 21.10.050 — Responsibility for Administration A.

Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.10-3 11-28 Plain Text and Plain Bolded Text = City -proposed IP language Underlined Text = Inserted Language, CCC Suggested Modification Text ;n Stroke Out = Deleted Language, CCC Suggested Modification Chapter 21.12 — Interpretation of Implementation Plan Provisions Sections: 21.12.010 Purpose 21.12.020 Rules of Interpretation 21.12.010 — Purpose This chapter provides rules for resolving questions about the meaning or applicability of any part of this Implementation Plan. The provisions of this chapter are intended to ensure the consistent interpretation and application of the requirements of this Implementation Plan. 21.12.020 — Rules of Interpretation A. Authority. The Director has the authority to interpret the meaning of provisions of this Implementation Plan, including maps, and to apply and/or enforce the Implementation Plan. The Director may also refer any interpretation to the Commission for input or a determination. An interpretation made by the Director may be appealed or called for review to the Commission in compliance with Chapter 21.64 (Appeals and Calls for Review). B. Language. When used in this Implementation Plan, the words "shall," "must," "will," "is to," and "are to" are always mandatory. "Should" is not mandatory, but is strongly recommended, and "may" is permissive. The present tense includes the past and future tenses; and the future tense includes the present. The singular number includes the plural number, and the plural the singular, unless the common meaning of the word indicates otherwise. The words "includes" and "including" shall mean "including, but not limited to." C. Calculations. Residential Density. When the number of dwelling units allowed on a site is calculated based on the minimum site area per dwelling unit, any fraction of a unit shall be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. For example, where a residential coastal zoning district requires a minimum site area per dwelling unit of one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet; a site of ten thousand (10,000) square feet would be allowed six dwelling units. Example: Ten thousand (10,000) sq. ft. site area/one thousand five hundred (1,500) sq. ft. per unit = 6.66 dwelling units. This would be rounded down to six dwelling units. 2. Other Calculations. For calculations other than residential density, the fractional/decimal results of calculations shall be rounded to the next highest whole number unless otherwise specified. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.12-1 11-29 3. Time Limits. Whenever a number of days is specified in this Implementation Plan, or in a permit, condition of approval, or notice provided in compliance with this Implementation Plan, the number of days shall be construed as calendar days unless otherwise specified. Where the last of the specified number of days falls on a weekend, holiday, or other day the City is not open for business, the time limit shall extend to 5:00 p.m. on the following business day. D. Conflicting Requirements. Where conflict occurs between the provisions of this Implementation Plan and any other City Code, title, chapter, resolution, guideline, or regulation, the more reStr+ct+ve—pFevi�s"all Gen r^I unless otherwise speGified +n Coastal Land Use Plan and this Implementation Plan shall control or Wnless the More restrintiye provision is less nrotentive of noastal rese irres E. Unlisted Uses of Land. If a proposed use of land is not specifically listed in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards), the use shall not be allowed, except as provided below. Director's Interpretation. The Director may determine that a proposed land use that is not listed in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards) may be allowed if the following findings can be made: a. The characteristics of, and activities associated with, the proposed use are equivalent to those of one or more of the uses listed in the coastal zoning district as allowable, and will not involve a greater level of activity, population density, intensity, traffic generation, parking, dust, odor, noise, or similar impacts than the uses listed in the coastal zoning district; b. The proposed use will meet the purpose/intent of the coastal zoning district that is applied to the location of the use; C. The proposed use will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Coastal Land Use Plan; d. The proposed use is not listed as allowable in another coastal zoning district; and e. The proposed use is not a prohibited or illegal use. 2. Applicable Standards and Permit Requirements. When the Director determines that a proposed but unlisted land use is equivalent to a listed use, the proposed use will be treated in the same manner as the listed use in determining where the use is allowed, what permits are required, and what other standards and requirements of this Implementation Plan apply. F. Coastal Zoning Map Boundaries. If there is uncertainty about the location of a coastal zoning district boundary shown on the official Coastal Zoning Map, the Director shall determine the location of the coastal zoning district boundary in the following manner: Where the Coastal Zone boundary follows a street or alleys the boundary of the a I ne all he non i i a the and hes sonans of the nro�i vAu�+cum rr� crn--�cvrr>rtCu—cr��rr� F�-lprcP Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.12-2 11-30 2. Where a district or area boundary approximately follows a lot line, street or alley line, the lot line, street centerline, or alley centerline shall be construed as the district boundary; 3. Where a district or area boundary divides a lot and the boundary line location is not specified by distances indicated on the subject map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the map; 3. Where a public street or alley, or a portion thereof, is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the coastal zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned street or alley; 4. Where a district or area boundary approximately follows the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean, the boundary shall be construed to follow the mean high tide line; or 5. Where a district or area boundary approximately follows the waterfront of Newport Bay, the boundary shall be construed to follow the bulkhead line.

When these symbols are placed on the Coastal Zoning Map, the floor area ratios, dwelling unit limits or residential densities (minimums and maximums) as indicated shall apply. In addition, individual locations/sites/lots are identified on the Coastal Zoning Map by a number symbol where specific development limits and restrictions apply. These development limits/restrictions shall apply in addition to those provided in Part 2 of this title (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards). The symbols and limits shall be shown in the following manner: A. Nonresidential Districts. A number following the district symbol shall designate the maximum floor area ratio allowed for the nonresidential area designated. Example: CG 0.5 B. Residential Districts. A number following the district symbol designates the minimum site area required per dwelling unit if the requirement differs from the district standard minimum. Example: RM (2178) 2. Two numbers following the district symbol indicates that both the minimum and maximum number of dwelling units are regulated. The first number designates the site area used to calculate the minimum number of units required. The second number designates the site area to be used to calculate the maximum number of dwelling units allowed. Example: RM (3100/2420) 3. A number followed by the DU symbol indicates the maximum number of dwelling units allowed for the area designated. Where two numbers are shown, the first represents the maximum number of units allowed, the second represents the minimum number of units required. Examples: RM 50 DU RM 388/300 DU C. Mixed -Use Districts. Allowed residential densities and floor area ratios for nonresidential structures in mixed-use districts are not indicated on the Coastal Zoning Map, but are provided in the development standards tables for mixed-use districts in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards).

For the purpose of this Implementation Plan, mixed-use projects shall comply with nonresidential standards when no mixed-use standards exist. A. MU -V (Mixed -Use Vertical) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of mixed-use structures that vertically integrate residential dwelling units above the ground floor with retail uses including office, restaurant, retail, and similar nonresidential uses located on the ground floor or above. B. MU -MM (Mixed -Use Mariners' Mile) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district applies to properties located on the inland side of Coast Highway in the Mariners' Mile Corridor. Properties fronting on Coast Highway may be developed for nonresidential uses only. Properties to the rear of the commercial frontage may be developed for freestanding nonresidential uses, multi -unit residential dwelling units, or mixed-use structures that integrate residential above the ground floor with nonresidential uses on the ground floor. C. MU-CV/15th St. (Mixed -Use Cannery Village and 15th Street) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi -unit residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses may include multi -unit dwelling units; nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is restricted to nonresidential uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight accommodations are allowed above the ground floor and to the rear of uses along the street frontage. Mixed-use or nonresidential structures are required on lots at street intersections and are allowed, but not required, on other lots. D. MU -W1 (Mixed -Use Water) Coastal Zoning District. This coastal zoning district applies to waterfront properties along the Mariners' Mile Corridor in which nonresidential uses and residential dwelling units may be intermixed. A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the allowed square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential uses in which marine -related and visitor -serving land uses are mixed as provided in Table 21.22-2. Design of nonresidential space to facilitate marine -related uses is encouraged. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.22-1 11-57 E. MU -W2 (Mixed -Use Water) Coastal Zoning District.

Introduction and Purpose of the Planned Community Development Plan (PCDP) A. Introduction The Back Bay Landing site is envisioned to be developed as an integrated, mixed-use waterfront village on an approximately 7 -acre portion of a 31.5 -acre parcel located adjacent to the Upper Newport Bay in the City of Newport Beach. The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code allows a Planned Community Development Plan (PCDP) to address land use designations and regulations in Planned Communities. The Back Bay Landing PCDP serves as the controlling zoning ordinance for the site and is authorized and intended to implement the provisions of the Newport Beach General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan. The Back Bay Landing PCDP Design Guidelines provide a comprehensive vision of the physical implementation of the project and have been drafted to assist the City and community to visualize the architectural theme and desired character of the development. B. Project Location The Back Bay Landing Planned Community (PC -9) is located within the City of Newport Beach, in Orange County, California. The approximately 7 -acre primary project area is generally located north of East Coast Highway and northwest of Bayside Drive in the western portion of the City, as shown on Exhibit 1, Location Map. The project area is bounded by the Upper Newport Back Bay to the north and west, the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and the Bayside Village Mobile Home Park to the east, East Coast Highway and various marina commercial and restaurant uses south of the Highway to the southeast. As shown on Exhibit 2, Planning Areas, the Back Bay Landing Planned Community is comprised of five distinct Planning Areas: Mixed -Use Area (PA 1), Recreational and Marine Commercial (PA 2), Existing Private Marina Access and Beach (PA 3), Marina and Bayside Village Mobile Home Park Storage and Guest Parking (PA 4), and Submerged Fee -Owned Lands (PA 5). C. Purpose and Objectives The purpose of the PCDP is to establish appropriate zoning regulations governing land use and development of the site consistent with the City of Newport Beach General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan. The PCDP provides a vision for the land uses on the site, sets the development standards and design guidelines for specific project approvals at the Site Development Review and Coastal Development Permit (CDP) approval stage, and regulates the long term operation of the developed site. 11-107 Implementation of the PCDP will: - Provide a high quality mixed-use, marine -related, visitor -serving commercial development with integrated residential units and a unified architectural and landscape theme. - Implement the MU -W2 (Mixed Use Water -Related 2) General Plan and MU -W (Mixed Use Water Related) Coastal Land Use Plan categories on an underutilized bayfront location in a manner that provides for commercial development on or near the bay in a manner that will encourage the continuation of coastal -dependent and coastal -related land uses and visitor -serving uses, as well as allow for the development of mixed-use structures with residential uses above the ground floor. Freestanding residential uses shall be prohibited. - Maintain and expand core coastal dependent and coastal -related land uses, including the development of marina parking and enclosed dry stack boat storage and launching facility. - Provide new housing opportunities in response to demand for housing, reduce vehicle trips and encourage active lifestyles by increasing the opportunity for residents to live in proximity to jobs, services, entertainment, and recreation. - Protect and enhance significant visual resources from identified public vantage points, such as Coast Highway, Castaways Park, and Coast Highway -Bay Bridge, to the bay and the cliffs of upper Newport Beach through view corridors designed into the project. New public view opportunities will be created on-site. - Expand bayfront access to and along the bay where it does not exist at the present time, in a manner that protects environmental study areas (ESA) and/or environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) and does not adversely impact existing private residences adjacent to the site. - Provide continuous public coastal access with a new minimum 12 -foot -wide bayfront access promenade along the bayfront edge of Planning Areas 1, 2, and 3. This new, public bayfront promenade will link the public docks and marina property south of the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge along the bayfront, to the Newport Dunes recreational area. In addition, bike lanes and pedestrian access will be provided along Bayside Drive from the intersection of Bayside Drive/East Coast Highway intersection running northerly to the terminus of Bayside Drive at the Newport Dunes recreational area. 11-108 D. Relationship to the Newport Beach Municipal Code Whenever the development regulations contained in this PCDP conflict with the regulations of the Newport Beach Municipal Code, the regulations contained in this PCDP shall take precedence. The Municipal Code shall regulate all development within the PCDP when such regulations are not provided within the PCDP. All construction within the Back Bay Landing PCDP (PC -9) shall be in compliance with the California Building Code, California Fire Code, and all other ordinances adopted by the City pertaining to construction and safety features. All words and phrases used in this Back Bay Landing PCDP shall have the same meaning and definition as used in the City of Newport Beach Zoning Code unless defined differently in Section VIII, Definitions. E. Relationship to Design Guidelines Development within the site shall be regulated by both the Development Plan and the Design Guidelines. 11-109 Development Limits and Land Use Plan The development limits in this Development Plan are consistent with those established by the General Plan and are identified in the following Table 1, Development Limits by Planning Area. Parking structures, carts, kiosks, temporary and support uses are permitted and are not counted towards square footage development limits. In addition, the OCSD wastewater pump station shall not be counted towards square footage development limits.

P. Sea Level Rise and Shoreline Management A sea level rise and shoreline management plan shall be prepared for the site and submitted with the Site Development Review application. The plan shall address shoreline areas of the site subject to tidal action, flooding, wave hazards and erosion, and incorporate measures to adapt to sea level rise over time and provide for the long term protection and provision of public improvements, coastal access, public opportunities for coastal recreation, and coastal resources including beach and shoreline habitat. 11-126 IV. Design Guidelines The Back Bay Landing Design Guidelines are intended to express the desired character of the future mixed-use waterfront village. These guidelines set parameters for future design efforts and help achieve overall consistency and quality of architectural design and landscape features at build -out. They also explore the aesthetic quality and functionality of the upper limit of acceptable development intensity, and are structured to allow the City considerable flexibility in review of future project submittals and subsequent approvals. All development within the Planned Community shall be in conformance with these Design Guidelines. The purpose of the Design Guidelines is: To provide the City of Newport Beach, the California Coastal Commission, and future residents and visitors with the necessary assurances that, when completed, the development will be built in accordance with the design character proposed herein; To provide guidance to developers, builders, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other professionals in order to maintain the desired design character and appearance of the project, as well as expand upon these concepts in order to maximize the success of the development consistent with market needs, aesthetic satisfaction, and community goals; To provide guidance to the City Staff, Planning Commission, City Council members and the California Coastal Commission in the review of future development submissions; and To encourage building plans that allow flexibility for innovative and creative design solutions that respond to contemporary market trends. A. Architectural Theme The development shall be designed with a Coastal architectural theme. This architectural theme is influenced by the marine climate of the California coastline, with varied historical vernacular and casually elegant palette, with building forms and massing that define and create unique and often seamless indoor/outdoor spaces. The project will follow principles of quality design, exhibiting a high level of architectural standards and shall be compatible with the surrounding area, sensitive to scale, proportion, and identity with a focus on place -making. Massing offsets, variation of roof lines, varied textures, openings, recesses, and design accents on all building elevations shall be provided to enhance the architectural design. The intent is not to select a historically specific or rigid architectural style for the project, but to create an active, mixed-use village. 11-127 The project should accommodate marine -oriented and visitor -serving retail, restaurants, enclosed dry stack boat storage, and residential uses, while integrating the public spaces, bayfront promenade and plaza in a pedestrian -friendly manner. The "village look" may be expressed through several techniques. Visual interest may be created by multiple one-, two- and three-level buildings, with varied roof heights and planes. Light and shadows may be created through the use of trellises, decks, and canopies. The planes of the buildings should include recesses and vertical elements to create the village feeling. Varied roof heights should communicate the break-up of architectural forms. The parking structure shall be designed to add to the public and visitor -serving retail experience and be easily accessible. The project's architectural style, with the recommended use of modern or traditional, sustainable materials, should blend in color and form with existing similarly themed facilities within Newport Beach, and provide a high standard of quality for future neighboring development. Sample imagery is provided on Exhibit 11, Architectural Theme. B. Site Planning 1. As illustrated in Exhibit 12, Conceptual Site Plan, the development shall be designed as an integrated, mixed-use waterfront village that encourages public access to and along the bayfront. 2. A public bayfront promenade shall be developed between the Balboa Marina development to the south and the Newport Dunes and the regional trail system to the east. Special features of this public bayfront promenade shall include coastal plazas, vista points and connections with City/County trails and Newport Dunes as shown on Exhibit 5, Public Spaces. 3. Back Bay Landing restaurants, visitor -serving commercial and plaza areas shall be accessible to the community by public and private vehicular transportation, pedestrian and bike paths, and public dock space. 4. Scenic view corridors should be incorporated throughout the project to maintain or enhance existing coastal views from East Coast Highway as shown on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors. 5. Outdoor dining and plaza areas shall be designed to interface with the street and bayfront. Siting of outdoor dining facilities shall minimize potential impacts on occupants of adjacent residential units. 6. The development shall create a strong pedestrian interface with the waterfront, maximizing accessibility and providing visual corridors enhancing the public/visitor experience. 11-128 7. Buildings should be arranged to create opportunities for public gathering spaces, encourage outdoor living and invite patronage. Mixed-use areas should emphasize pedestrian orientation by utilizing features such as plazas, courtyards, interior walkways, trellises, seating, fountains, and other similar elements. 8. The development shall promote connectivity throughout the village and to adjacent developments and trails systems through the use of shared facilities such as driveways, parking areas, pedestrian plazas and walkways. 9. Ground level equipment, refuse collection areas, storage tanks, infrastructure equipment and utility vaults should be screened from public right-of-way views with dense landscaping and/or walls of materials and finishes compatible with adjacent buildings. 10. Site-specific analyses (wind patterns, noise assessments, etc.) and special design features shall be incorporated into the proposed buildings surrounding the OCSD pump station facility to offset potential noise and odor control issues associated with the existing operations of the facility. Indoor air conditioned spaces within the development shall include the installation of odor filters, such as activated carbon filters or similar, to filter indoor air. C. Building Massing 1. Avoid long, continuous blank walls, by incorporating a variety of materials, design treatments and/or modulating and articulating elevations to promote visual interest and reduce massing. 2. Layering of wall planes and volumes are encouraged to provide rhythm, dynamic building forms, and shadows. 3. Building massing should consist of a mix of heights to add visual interest and enhance views to the bay above or between buildings. 4. Taller buildings should use articulation to create visual interest. Articulation should include vertical and horizontal offsets, use of multiple materials and finishes, and the entry/corner elements. 5. Towers or other vertical/prominent building features should be used to accentuate key elements such as building entries, pedestrian nodes, plazas, and courtyards. 6. To maintain a low profile at the corner of East Coast Highway and Bayside Drive, the development should consist of reduced height commercial retail 11-129 buildings closest to the intersection and may step up in height further away from the intersection, as shown on Exhibit 3, Building Heights. D. Facade Treatments 1. Ground floors of commercial buildings should have storefront design with large windows and entries encouraging indoor and outdoor retailing. 2. Architectural elements that create sheltered pedestrian areas are encouraged. 3. The quality of the pedestrian environment should be activated by architecturally vibrant storefronts with features such as planter walls, outdoor seating and dining spaces, enhanced trellises, accent or festive lighting, awnings or canopies, large transparent windows, recessed openings and entry ways. 4. Create a unified and consistent alignment of building facades that define and address the street and waterfront. 5. Horizontal definition between uses, generally between the first and second floor is strongly encouraged. 6. For residential uses, balconies and sill treatments are encouraged on upper stories to articulate the facade. 7. Building facades should respect the public realm edge by controlling and limiting encroachments that could impede pedestrian connectivity and retail exposure. Building designs will be encouraged to support and activate the public realm and plazas, and encourage accessibility. 8. "Back of House Areas" and service corridors shall be avoided along primary street and waterfront elevations. 9. Roof -mounted mechanical equipment shall not be visible in any direction from a public right-of-way, as may be seen from a point 6 feet above ground level, including from the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge curb elevation. In addition, screening of the top of the roof -mounted mechanical equipment may be required if necessary to protect views. 10. Subject to the approval of the OCSD, the existing building exterior of the OCSD facility located adjacent to East Coast Highway and at the property's southwestern boundary shall undergo aesthetic improvements (refacing, reroofing, etc.) to reflect the architectural design standards contained in this PCDP. Should the OCSD facility be relocated and/or reconstructed, the architectural design of the structure shall be compatible with the architectural design of the Back Bay Landing development and design standards contained 11-130 in this PCDP or architectural design of adjacent developments, as determined appropriate — during the Site Development Review process. E. Public Views 1. As illustrated on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors, buildings should be oriented to maximize view opportunities while minimizing the visual impact of the building on existing view sheds. 2. Buildings proposed adjacent to the Coast Highway -Bay Bridge shall preserve coastal views that are afforded due to the differential in height between the elevation of the bridge and the elevation of the site. The public coastal views shall be consistent with Section 4.4.1-8 of the Newport Beach Coastal Land Use Plan policies. 3. A pedestrian view corridor shall be designed at the southeast corner of Bayside Drive and East Coast Highway, shown as View Corridor 2 on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors, allowing northbound pedestrians and motorists to see into the project and the coastal view beyond. 4. The enclosed dry stack boat storage building shall be designed with multiple heights to create a distinct view corridor from East Coast Highway to the Bay, illustrated on Exhibit 13, East Coast Highway View Corridors. This corridor shall be visible to north and south bound pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. 5. The development shall be designed to frame existing bay views and should create new bay views where they are currently blocked by fencing and outdoor vehicle/boat storage. F. Parking and Parking Structure 1. Parking areas and structures shall promote efficient circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Convenient, well -marked and attractive pedestrian access shall be provided from parking areas and structures to buildings. 3. Parking facilities should be physically separated for non-residential uses and residential uses, except for residential guest parking. If enclosed parking is provided for an entire mixed-use complex, separate areas/levels shall be provided for non-residential and residential uses with separate building entrances, whenever possible. 11-131 4. A semi -subterranean level should be incorporated, if feasible, to minimize height and bulk of parking structure. 5. Parking structures shall be screened from the public right—of-way to the maximum extent feasible. Portions of the structure that cannot be screened shall incorporate decorative screening, landscape walls, artistic murals, or application of stylized facades. 6. Commercial retail and residential uses should wrap and mask the parking structure. 7. The parking structure shall complement the design vocabulary of the attached or adjacent buildings, and incorporate form, materials, color, and details from the attached or adjacent buildings. 8. Adequate parking that is located within a convenient distance from the use it is intended to serve shall be provided for all uses proposed on-site, as well as marina users, displaced Bayside Village Mobile Home Park guest parking, and for public access. General parking locations are shown on Exhibit 14, Parking Plan. 9. The upper level of the parking structure shall be designed to eliminate vehicle headlight and rooftop lighting spill-over. 10. To encourage alternative means of transportation, the parking structure shall incorporate bicycle parking storage accommodations, and electric vehicle charging stations. G. Public Spaces The development shall provide extensive outdoor public spaces, as shown on Exhibit 5, Public Spaces, and described below. 1. An elevated coastal public view plaza is strongly encouraged. This elevated plaza can provide exceptional public coastal view opportunities of Newport Harbor and Upper Newport Bay. 2. A pedestrian and automobile plaza should be incorporated into the design that seamlessly and safely blends pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular movement. This plaza may provide an opportunity for valet parking, provided a valet operation plan is reviewed and approved by the City. Bollards and potted plants should define the plaza edge in a park -like setting and should visually connect the east and west ends of the mixed-use project area as the center point of the project, while still allowing unhindered pedestrian movement to the retail areas and public bayfront promenade. 11-132 3. Restaurants shall be designed to be accessible from the public bayfront promenade and should provide both indoor and outdoor dining areas with scenic coastal views of the bay. 4. Vendor carts selling specialty items are encouraged in the outside plazas and along retail walkways to enhance the shopping or dining experience by activating the plaza areas. However, vendor carts shall not be permitted within the 12 -foot -wide public bayfront promenade. 5. Passive recreation opportunities and waterfront viewing shall be provided along the public bayfront promenade. 6. A public launching area and parking for kayak and paddleboard users shall be incorporated into the development. 7. New marina boat -slip tenant lockers shall be provided near the entry to the Bayside Village Marina. 8. Public restrooms for visitors to the site shall be provided along the public bayfront promenade. H. Landscaping 1. The landscaping should reflect the project's coastal marine location and provide visual ties to the coastal bluffs, sand beaches, tidelands and wetlands, tide pools, local marinas and sea life. 2. Creativity in combining plant materials to emulate natural features is encouraged. Some examples of possible design strategies are using swaying grasses to emulate water movement, using water fountains to emulate the sound and rhythm of waves, and emulating sea colors in plant selection. 3. The use of water fountains, waterfalls, water sculptures, or water features are encouraged. 4. Marine murals and other forms of public art are encouraged throughout the project. 5. Landscaping should include tree plantings around buildings to enhance architectural character and provide shade in the summer and sun in the winter. 6. California -friendly plant species with low watering requirements and characteristics that are compatible with the climate, soils, and setting should compose the majority of the plant palate. 7. The irrigation system shall be designed, constructed, managed, and maintained to achieve a high level of water efficiency. 11-133 8. Landscaping in the view corridors should not block these views but rather frame and enhance them. 9. Green walls, water features and selective placement of potted plants and trees can improve and soften the appearance of the buildings while preserving and enhancing desired views. I. Hardscaping 1. An enhanced permeable paving should be used at the project entry to create rich texture and color while also helping to mitigate urban runoff. 2. Pedestrian spaces should be developed with specialty paving to provide interest and definition and compliment architectural and landscape features. 3. Selection of hardscape material should reflect the coastal marine theme of the project, for example: sand stone, sea glass, pebbles, drift wood, ocean/beach inspired colors or textures, etc. 4. Private streets, driveways, and drive aisles should be multi-purpose and accommodate pedestrian, bike, emergency vehicles, and slow automobile movements. Generous use of planters, large pots and bollards are encouraged with raised curbs only where necessary. J. Signs 1. The preferred approach to signing is through creating a strong architectural statement that announces development, rather than large distracting signs. 2. Monument signs identifying the development may be permitted at the primary entrance off Bayside Drive and possibly the optional secondary entrance off East Coast Highway, if approved. 3. Signage should be appropriately scaled to the building or surface onto which it is placed, should not obscure important architectural features, and should be readable by both pedestrians and drivers approaching the site. 4. Signage shall be integrated with the design and scale of the architecture. 5. A coordinated approach to signage throughout the development is particularly important due to the multiple storefronts that are envisioned. Signs of similar size, proportion, and materials should be used on each store. 11-134 V. Phasing The Back Bay Landing mixed-use development is anticipated to be developed as one phase during an 18- to 24 -month construction period. The integrated mixed-use and parking structure combined with the relatively small site necessitates construction in a single phase. The Back Bay Landing development will necessitate the construction of a seawall/bulkhead, but does not include reconstruction of the existing Bayside Village Marina. The general sequence of construction is provided below although certain activities will overlap thereby reducing the total duration of the project. • Demolition — 1 month • Excavation and De -watering — 2 months • Infrastructure / Foundations — 6 months • Vertical Construction — 15 months • Final Landscaping — 3 months • Bayside Drive Roadway Improvements and Trail — 4 months • Reconfiguration of Lot Line Adjustment Area — 6 months 11-135 VI.

Based on the 2006 Strategic Plan Update for OCSD, capacity exists within the existing 36" line to accommodate the proposed project. Water The existing 30" water transmission line traversing the project site will be abandoned to minimize conflicts with the proposed project and allow easy access and maintenance to the proposed lines. Two alternatives are currently proposed to replace the capacity of the line and continue to provide reliable water service in case of an emergency to the western region of Newport Beach. Additionally, a new 8" water line will serve the proposed project and tie into the existing 12" water line in Bayside Drive. The increased demand on the existing line will be consistent with the proposed sewer generation rates. Water capacity is not anticipated to be an issue based on the redundant water transmission lines that surround the project site.

A. Establishment of Slope. In order to determine which of the two methods to use to establish the grade of the lot from which to measure structure height as provided in subsection (B) of this section, it is first necessary to determine the slope of the lot as follows: 1. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided polygon shall not be smaller than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be located entirely within the buildable area of the lot (see Figure 3-2); 2. The slope of the polygon shall be determined using the highest and lowest elevation at any of the four corners of the polygon and the distance between the respective corners; 3. If the location of the polygon selected by the applicant is not clearly representative of the lot's topography or representative of the prevailing slopes on adjoining lots because of retaining structures or previous excavation/fill, the Director shall establish the appropriate area to be used to determine the slope of the lot. Figure 3- 2 Area for Determining Slope B. Establishment of Grade. The grade of a lot shall be established by one of the following methods unless the Director establishes the grade in compliance with subsection (C) of this section (Establishment of Grade by Director). Subdivisions. If the City approves or has approved a grading plan in conjunction with an approved subdivision, the established grade shall be the finished grade as shown on the grading plan or final subdivision map. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-21 11-202 2. Five Percent or Less Slope. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is five percent or less, the grade of the surface from which structure height is measured shall be a plane established using the average of the elevations at each corner of the four-sided polygon. Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established grade elevation from which to measure structure height. 3. More than Five Percent Slope. a. On lots where the slope of the four-sided polygon is greater than five percent, the established grade from which structure height is measured shall be a plane established by determining the elevation of the lot at five evenly spaced points along each of the two side property lines and connecting each of the points along a side property line with the corresponding point on the opposite side property line. The five evenly spaced points along each side property line shall be located so that one point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with the side property line and another point is located at the intersection of the rear setback line with the side property line. The other three points along the side property line shall be located so that all five points are equidistant from each other (see Figure 3-3). - Setback Buildable Area 4 -sided polygon +_ P2 that approximates P1 the building footprint <, P3 a' PS ..3-I.ot Linn P4 PSµ Figure 3- 3 Slope Greater than Five Percent C. On lots that slope an average of twenty (20) percent or greater, or on irregularly shaped or sloping lots, the Director may require that additional points of elevation be provided. C. Establishment of Grade by Director. If the Director finds that the existing grade on the subject lot has been previously altered (e.g., contains retaining structures, property line walls, planters, or excavation/fill), or other conditions are present to the degree that the existing grade is not representative of the prevailing grades on adjoining lots and/or the general area and, therefore, is not appropriate for the purpose of establishing the grade of the subject lot, the Director may establish the grade that is reasonable and comparable with the grades of adjoining lots and that will not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements on adjoining lots. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-22 11-203 21.30.060 — Height Limits and Exceptions A. This section establishes regulations for determining compliance with the maximum allowable height limits established for each coastal zoning district by Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards). B. Height of Structures and Measurement. Structure Height Established. Structures shall not exceed the maximum allowable height for the coastal zoning district in which the structure is located, except as provided in subsection (C) of this section (Increase in Height Limit) or subsection (D) of this section (Exceptions to Height Limits). 2. Height Measurement. Height shall be measured as the vertical distance from the established grade of the pad to the highest part of the structure, including any protective guardrails and parapet walls. Structures with sloping roofs shall be measured to the highest peak of the roof. Structures with flat roofs shall be measured to the top of the roof, guardrail, or parapet wall. The established grade of the pad shall be determined by one of the methods identified in Section 21.30.050 (Grade Establishment). 3. Flood Hazard Areas. a Finished Forst Floo Top of Slab Elevation for Interior Living Areas. The minimum required top of slablf;ni-shord fIe r elevation for interior living areas of all new 6461GWres development within flood hazard areas shall be as established by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps recognized by the Building Division as part of flood safety requirements and maps adopted by the Council. Notwithstanding the building elevations established by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps, the minimum required top of slab elevation for interior living areas of all new structures/new development shall be at least 9.00 (NAVD 88). (1) Sea Level Rise. The minimum required top of slab elevationif;nished fln„r�� for interior living areas may be increased as necessary to minimize hazards associated with long-term sea level rise over the economic life of the structure identified in the coastal hazards report pursuant to Section 21.30.015(E)(2). To address the uncertainty inherent in sea level rise projections (see Appendix A), adjustments to the top of slab elevation may be based on a moderate sea level rise scenario within the projected range of possible sea level rise amounts identified by the current best available science, so long as the structure's design can, if necessary, accommodate future adaptation measures for the high sea level rise scenario that comply with the certified LCP and do not result in coastal resource impacts. Height Measurement. The height of a principal structure shall be measured from the top of slab elevation. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-23 11-204 C. Accessory Structures. The height of accessory structures, except fences, hedges, walls, and retaining walls (see Section 21.30.040) shall be measured from existing grade of the lot prior to construction. Exception: When a new principal building is required to have the top of slab constructed at elevation 9.00 NAVD88 and when the grade surrounding the new principal building is proposed to be increased, the height of accessory structures shall be measured from the proposed finished grade. 4. Structures on Ocean Boulevard. New structures and additions/changes to existing structures on the bluff side of Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar shall not be constructed to a height greater than the elevation of the adjacent curb. The top of curb height limit shall be established by a plane created by the extension of the top of curb line across each lot. C. Increase in Height Limit. Procedure. The height limits established in Part 2 of this Implementation Plan (Coastal Zoning Districts, Allowable Land Uses, and Coastal Zoning District Standards) may be increased within specified areas with approval of a coastal development permit when all applicable findings are met in compliance with subsection (C)(3) of this section (Required Findings).

Archaeological/Paleontological Resources. 1. 1. ApplieabilityPurpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this regulation is to ensure that archaeological/paleontological cultural resources are afforded protection on sites known to contain or are suspected of containing archaeological/paleontological cultural resources. This regulation provides for the determination of the nature and extent of on-site archaeological/paleontological cultural resources during the early stages of planning for the development of the site, thereby allowing for a full range of mitigation options. Accordingly, development sites with known or high potential for the presence of archaeological/paleontological cultural resources are required to be analyzed through a comprehensive archaeological research plan (ARP) and implemented through a coastal development permit, prior to consideration of a permit to develop the site. By this process, the ARP is then used to guide any subsequent development of a site. The ARP, when properly designed and reviewed by qualified archaeologists, along with consultation with Native American groups with ancestral ties to the area can establish whether the site was used in prehistoric times by Native Americans, determine whether evidence of that use remains and provide for the in situ preservation of intact significant resources and other mitigation options to otherwise protect significant cultural resources on site. The regulation also provides procedures for archaeological and Native American monitoring of grading and other activities during project development in order to ensure that anv newly discovered cultural resources are protected. 2. Applicability. The requirements in this subsection of this section shall apply to all coastal development permit applications that involve grading, or excavation, or other development activity that may impact archaeological/paleontological cultural resources and that have one or more of the following characteristics: a. Projects located within 300 feet of an identified paleontological/archaeological site in the Coastal Resources Information Center database of California State Fullerton, where archaeoloaical/Daleontoloaical cultural resources cultural resources are reasonably suspected to be present or areas identified by or otherwise known to the City as having potential paleontological/archaeological sites. b. Where evidence of potentially significant paleontological/archaeological resources is found in an initial study conducted pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-37 11-218 3. Procedures. All applicable projects shall comply with the following procedures: a. Revoirt Requifed Preparation and Implementation of an Archaeological Research Plan (ARP). (1) When man ARP is Required. When a development is proposed in an area where there are known or has potential for archaeological or paleontological.. resources on the site caro, - she vic i n i�a n `a for � nop.h inches n i reGtOrdetermines '�'n o adequate prier assessmeR+ Ofes-o,-OR Site FeSSE)LIFGes-has beeR EeM pleted, a rep an Archaeological Research Plan (ARP) shall be prepared by a qualified archaeologist/paleontologist and implemented through a coastal development permit before the issuaRGe submittal of a coastal development permit for the proposed development of the site. The purpose of the ARP is to determine whether or not significant cultural resources are present, determine the boundaries of cultural resources, and provide measures that result in the avoidance and/or minimization of impact to archaeological or paleontological cultural resources present on the site. A coastal development permit is required to implement an ARP since such implementation involves development (e.g., excavating shovel test pits, trenching, etc.) that has the potential to result in significant impacts to known or suspected on site cultural resources_ Subsequent development of the site shall be subject to approval of a coastal development permit and shall be guided by the results of the approved ARP. (2) Elements of4Zeyer the ARP. At a minimum, the %pelct-ARP shall: include a statement of the qualifications of the preparers and shall be prepared in accordance with current professional practice, in consultation with appropriate Native American groups as identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and be reviewed by at least three archaeologists (peer review committee), NAHC, and the State Historic Preservation Officer. The peer review committee shall be convened in accordance with current professional practice and shall be comprised of qualified archaeologists; be desianed and carried out with the aoal of determinina the extent of on-site cultural resources and shall include, but not be limited to, postulation of a site theory regarding the archaeological/paleontological cultural history and pre -history of the site, the types and quantities of resources expected to be encountered, identification of their significance (which shall not be limited to whether any site is eligible for listing in the National or State Register of Historic Places), the potential impacts of Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-38 11-219 development to those resources, investigation methods to be implemented in order to locate and identify, in the least destructive manner, all archaeological/paleontological cultural resources on site. (c) include a Mitigation Plan taking into considertion the archaeological/cultural resources discovered as a result of the investigation and shall be based on a full range of mitigation options including avoidance of impact to significant resources, measures designed to reduce or eliminate those impacts, including maintaining significant intact cultural resources "in situ.". (d) also include recommendations for monitoring and mitigation during any approved subsequent grading or other development activity in order to avoid impacts to additional archaeological/cultural resources should they be discovered. The approved ARP, prepared as specified above, shall be fully implemented prior to submittal of a coastal development permit application for subsequent grading or development of the site. Subsequent Monitoring and Mitigation Plan to be Implemented in Conjunction with Approval of a Coastal Development Permit for Project Grading and Construction Activities.

Therefore, a coastal development permit application for any subsequent development at the site shall include the submittal of evidence that the approved ARP, including all mitigation, has been fully implemented. Further, the coastal development permit for subsequent development of the site shall include the requirement for the submittal of a Monitoring and Mitigation Plan to be implemented during any site grading, utility trenching or any other development activity that has the potential to uncover or otherwise disturb archaeological/cultural resources and shall provide for appropriate mitigation measures for any additional resources that Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30-39 11-220 are found. The elements of the Monitoring and Mitigation Plan shall be consistent with section 2 (a) above and specify that sufficient archaeological and Native American monitors must be provided to assure that all activity that has the potential to uncover or otherwise disturb cultural deposits will be monitored at all times while those activities are occurring. The Monitoring Plan shall be on-going until grading activities have reached sterile soil. The plan shall include at a minimum: (a) Procedures for selecting archaeological monitor(s) qualified by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) standards, and Native American monitor(s) with documented ancestral ties to the area, and well as the Native American most likely descendant (MLD), when State law mandates indentification of a MLD, appointed consistent with the standards of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), to monitor all grading and/or excavation activities; (b) Procedures that shall be followed should grading operations or excavations uncover paleontological/archaeological resources1 including, A requirement that all development activity within a minimum 50 feet of the discovery or a areater area to be determined by the archeologist or paleontologist shall be suspended and the Director shall be immediatelv notified of the discovery to avoid destruction of resources until a determination can be made as to the significance of the paleontological/archaeological resources,--. ii A requirement that compliance with the applicable State and Federal laws shall occur upon the discovery of any human remains; and A reauirement that a sianificance testina plan be undertaken to determine the significance of the discovery and the procedures to be followed to allow for recommencement of development following the significance determination, including the requirement for a supplemental archaeology plan if the resuorces are found to be significant. 3) The Monitoring and Mitigation Plan shall include demonstration of a good faith effort to avoid impacts to the resources through measures including project redesign, in situ preservation/capping, and placing cultural resource areas in open space; if avoidance of the resource is not feasible, a recovery --and/or relocation plan for mitigating the effect of the development shall be required.

K. California Coastal Trail (CCT). The City shall coordinate and collaborate with state agencies in planning and implementing the Newport Beach segment of the California Coastal Trail - 1. Goals and Objectives. It is intended that the CCT system shall be designed and implemented to achieve the following goals and objectives: a. Provide a continuous walking and hiking trail as close to the ocean as possible; Provide maximum access for a variety of non -motorized uses by utilizi parallel trail segments where feasible; C. Maximize connections to existina and aror,osed local trail systems: d. Ensure that the trail has connections to trailheads, parking areas, transit stops, inland trail segments, etc. at reasonable intervals; e. Maximize ocean views and scenic coastal vistas; and, f. Provide an educational experience where feasible through interpretive Droarams. kiosks. and other facilities. 2. Site Planning and Design Standards. In addition to the site planning and design criteria in Section 21.30A.50(A), implementation of the CCT shall: Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30A-11 11-246 a. Be sited and designed to be located along or as close to the shoreline as is Physically and aesthetically feasible. Where it is not feasible to locate the trail along the shoreline due to natural landforms or legally authorized development that prevents passage at all times, inland bypass trail segments located as close to the shoreline as possible should be utilized. Shoreline trail segments that may not be passable at all times should be augmented by inland alternative routes. Special attention should be given to identifying any segments that may need to be incorporated into water -crossing structures and that necessarily must be placed within Caltrans right -of way. b. Where paps are identified, interim segments should be employed to ensure continuity of the coastal trail. Interim segments should be noted as such, with provisions that as opportunities arise, the trail shall be realigned as close as possible to its optimum location. Interim trail segments should meet as many of the CCT objectives and standards as possible. C. Be designed and located to minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and prime agriculture lands to the maximum extent feasible. Where appropriate, trail access should be limited to pass and repass. Where necessary to prevent disturbance to sensitive species, sections of the trail may be closed on a seasonal basis. Alternative trail segments shall be provided where feasible. For situations where impact avoidance is not feasible, appropriate mitigation measures should be identified, including but not limited to use of boardwalks, reducing width of trails, protective fencing and drainage measures along edges of agricultural land, etc. d. Be located to incorporate existing oceanfront trails and paths and support facilities of public shoreline parks and beaches to the maximum extent feasible. e. Be designed to avoid being located on roads with motorized vehicle traffic where feasible. In locations where it is not possible to avoid siting the trail along a roadway, the trail should be located off of the pavement and within the public right-of-way, and separated from traffic by a safe distance or by Physical barriers that do not obstruct, or detract from, the scenic views and visual character of their surroundings. In locations where the trail must cross a roadway, safe under- or over -crossings or other alternative at -grade crossings should be considered in connection with appropriate directional and traffic warning signage. f. To maximize access to the CCT, adequate support facilities, such as parking areas and trailheads, should be provided. 21.30A.060 — Access Title and Guarantee Where public coastal accessways are proposed by an applicant or required as a condition of approval of a coastal development permit or other authorization, a guarantee of the access through deed restriction, or dedication of right-of-way or easement shall be required. Prior to the issuance of a coastal development permit or other authorization, the method and form of the access guarantee shall be approved by City Attorney, and shall be recorded in the office of the Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30A-12 11-247 County Recorder, identifying the precise location and area to be set aside for public access. The method of access guarantee shall be chosen according to the following criteria: A. Deed Restriction. A deed restriction shall be used only where an owner, association or corporation agrees to assume responsibility for maintenance of and liability for the public access area, subject to approval by the Director. B. Grant of Fee Interest or Easement. A grant of fee interest or easement shall be used when a public agency or private organization approved by the City Council is willing to assume ownership, maintenance and liability for the access. C. Offer of Dedication. An offer of dedication shall be used when no public agency, or private organizational is known to be willing to accept fee interest or easement for accessway maintenance and liability. These offers shall not be accepted until maintenance responsibility and liability is established. GD. Maintenance. A dedicated public accessway shall not be required to be opened to public use until a public agency or private association approved bV the City Council agrees to accept responsibility for maintenance and liability of the access, except in cases where immediate public access is implemented through a deed restriction. 21.30A.070 [RESERVED] — Coastal Commission Review of Rerar.ded AGGess DOGurnen+-s Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30A-13 11-248 21.30A.080 — Timing of Access Requirements The type and extent of access to be dedicated, and/or constructed and maintained, as well as the method by which its continuing availability for public use is to be guaranteed, shall be established at the time of coastal development permit approval or other authorization, as provided by this section. A. Guarantee Precedes Permit Issuance.

Controls. Based on substantial evidence and documentation, submitted in conjunction with a coastal development permit application, the City maybe impose controls on the time, place, and manner of public access when justified by site characteristics, including topographic and geologic conditions, the intensity of use and the capacity of the site to sustain the use, the fragility of natural resource areas, the need to protect the privacy or security of residential development, public safety services access, and the provision of support facilities. Such controls shall only be imposed with a clause requiring periodic re-evaluation for its continued need. B. Management and Maintenance Plan. A management and maintenance plan that maximizes public access may be required in conjunction with a dedication of public access in any case where there is substantial evidence of potential conflicts between public access use and other uses on or immediately adjacent to the site. The plan shall be a condition of approval of the coastal development permit and shall at minimum address: Regular inspections; 2. Vegetation maintenance to ensure accessway remains safe and unobstructed; 3. Regular trash/litter pickup; and 4. Signage. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30A-14 11-249 `L.

Protect environmentally sensitive habitat areas against any significant disruption of habitat values. B. Maintain and, where feasible, restore the biological productivity and the overall quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes. C. Protect wetlands for their commercial, recreational, water quality, and habitat value. 21.308.020 — Initial Site Resource Survey Applicability. An initial site resource survey, recently prepared (within one year) identifying the presence or potential for wetlands or sensitive habitat, vegetation or wildlife species on the site shall be required for coastal development permit applications on a development site that: A. Is located within or within f4yone hundred (5100) feet of an Environmental Study Areas (ESA) indicated in Map 4-1 (Environmental Study Areas) in the Coastal Land Use Plan; or B. Contains southern coastal foredune or southern dune scrub habitats; or C. Contains or is located within one hundred (100) feet of a delineated wetland, designated Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA), ESHA buffer, or wetland buffer; or D. Contains or is located within one hundred (100) feet of a habitat area where there is substantial evidence of the presence of a wetland or ESHA. 21.308.030 — Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas A. ESHA Designation. Any area in which plant or animal life or their habitats are either rare or especially valuable because of their special nature or role in an ecosystem and which could be easily disturbed or degraded by human activities and developments shall be designated as an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA). Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-1 11-254 Exceptions. ESHAs do not include the following areas: a. Existing developed areas; and b. Existing fuel modification areas required by the City of Newport Beach Fire Department or the Orange County Fire Authority for existing, legal structures. B. Protection Required. ESHAs shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent ons# those resources shall be allowed see Section 21.30B.030 (F) (Limits on Land Uses)). Development in areas adjacent to ESHAs shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of the ESHA. C. ESHA Report. If the initial site resources survey indicates the presence or potential for sensitive habitat vegetation or wildlife species on the site, a report shall be required with recommendations as to whether a habitat area constitutes an ESHA. Evaluation. Using a recently prepared (within one year) site-specific survey and analysis, the ESHA report shall evaluate the following attributes when recommending whether a habitat area constitutes an ESHA: a. The presence of natural communities that have been identified as rare by the California Department of Fish andeWildlife. b. The recorded or potential presence of plant or animal species designated as rare, threatened, or endangered under State or Federal law. C. The presence or potential presence of plant or animal species that are not listed under State or Federal law, but for which there is other compelling evidence of rarity, such as designation as a 1 B or 2 species by the California Native Plant Society. d. The presence of coastal streams. e. The degree of habitat integrity and connectivity to other natural areas. Attributes to be evaluated when determining a habitat's integrity/connectivity include the habitat's patch size and connectivity, dominance by invasive/non-native species, the level of disturbance, the proximity to development, and the level of fragmentation and isolation. 2. Recommendation. If an area is recommended as an ESHA, the boundaries of the ESHA and the appropriate buffers shall be made to the review authority. D. ESHA Buffers. A protective open space buffer shall be required to horizontally separate ESHA from development areas and provide distance and physical barriers to human and domestic pet intrusion. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-2 11-255 Size. ESHA buffers shall be of a sufficient size to ensure the biological integrity and preservation of the habitat they are designed to protect. Terrestrial ESHA shall have a minimum buffer width of fifty (50) feet wherever possible. a. Exceptions: Smaller ESHA buffers may be allowed only where it can be demonstrated that: (1) A fifty (50) foot wide buffer is not possible due to site-specific constraints; and (2) The proposed narrower buffer would be amply protective of the biological integrity of the ESHA given the site-specific characteristics of the resource and of the type and intensity of disturbance. 2. Vegetation. a. ESHA buffers shall be maintained exclusively with native vegetation to serve as transitional habitat. b Fuel mofdifiGa�n zones abutting sensitive habitats shall +ends+ of »� rr— r-avcfrcm�� vrcrw�ruvr ��rTa-r� rrsr�vr fmFe resnstt*ye, native + plan+ opcGi`G from the city appFeye play+ lis Fuel modification zones shall be maintained outside of ESHA buffers. C. Invasive plant species shall be prohibited. E. Design and Siting. Development outside, but -within one hundred (100) feet of an ESHA shall incorporate the following design and site characteristics: Development WithiR 9 adjacent to an ESHA shall be designed and sited to protect ESHA resources against any significant disruption of habitat values. 2. Development adjacent to an ESHA shall be compatible with the continuance of ESHA habitat areas. 3. Development adjacent to an ESHA shall be limited to low impact land uses, such as open space and passive recreation whenever feasible. 4. Development shall not necessitate fuel modification in an ESHA or ESHA buffer. 5. Development lighting adjacent to an ESHA shall minimize impacts to wildlife. a. All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be designed, shielded, aimed, located, and maintained to direct lighting away from environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA) and ESHA buffers and to minimize glare, sky glow, and light trespass. b. Buildings shall be designed to minimize light trespass from interior lighting. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-3 11-256 C. The -All lighting shall utilize the best available "dark sky" practices, including the use of lights with the lowest intensity lighting possible for safety purposes and that utilize wavelengths that are the most environmentally protective of organisms active at night and dawn and duskshall be use that is appFe priate to the intended use e•,f the, light,p g. 6. Unauthorized structures that impact, or encroach into, ESHA or ESHA buffer shall be removed. F. Limits On Land Uses. ESHA shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values. Uses within ESHA shall be limited to only those uses that are dependent onSUsh those resources. Limited public access improvements (e.g., hiking and educational trails and low -impact camping), aPA-minor educational, interpretative and research activities and development, and habitat restoration projects may be considered resource dependent uses. Measures, including, but not limited to, trail creation, signage, placement of boardwalks, and fencing, shall be implemented as necessary to protect ESHA. G. Required Findings. No development shall be allowed in an ESHA or ESHA buffer area unless the following findings are made: The resource as identified will not be significantly degraded or disrupted by the proposed development and the development will be compatible with the continuance of the resource. 2. There is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative. 3. All feasible mitigation measures capable of reducing or eliminating project related impacts have been adopted. 21.306.040 - Wetlands, Deepwater Areas, and Other Water Areas A. Protection Required. The biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes shall be protected, maintained and, where feasible, restored. 2. All uses of the marine environment shall be carried out in a manner that will sustain the biological productivity of coastal waters and that will maintain healthy populations of all species of marine organisms adequate for long-term commercial, recreational, scientific, and educational purposes. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-4 11-257 3. Marine resources shall be maintained, enhanced, and, where feasible, restored. 4. Special protection shall be provided to marine resource areas and species of special biological or economic significance. B. Wetland Delineation. When the initial site resources survey indicates the presence or potential for wetland species or indicators, coastal development permit applications shall include a recently prepared (within one year) site survey and wetlands delineation analysis with the deliReatiGR of all wetland ar Methodology. Wetland delineations shall be conducted in accordance with the definitions of wetland boundaries contained in Section 13577(b) of the California Code of Regulations and Qtateraide-InterpFetive Guidelinesf"rWc''�s-'arta Other ERVOFE)RrReRtally SeRGitiVe Habitat AFeas published by the GalifE)FRia Coastal GemmossmvTT. 2. Other Factors. Although vegetation is often the most readily observed parameter, sole reliance on vegetation or either of the other parameters as the determinant of wetlands can sometimes be misleading. Many plant species can grow successfully in both wetlands and non -wetlands, and hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils may persist for decades following alteration of hydrology that will render an area a non -wetland. Where ambiguities in wetland delineation exist due to the demonstrated presence of both upland and wetland characteristics, factors other than the standard field indicators of wetland hydrology, wetland vegetation and wetland soils may be analyzed as part of the delineation. Such factors may include topography, soil permeability, drainage patterns, adjacency to identified wetlands, and comparisons of hydrology at the ambiguous site and at nearby upland and wetland reference sites following significant rainfall events. The simple lack of field indicators of hydrology during a routine delineation is not strong evidence of upland characteristics (Coastal Commission findings for approval of the Coastal Land Use Plan, October 13, 2005). 3. Recommendation. The recommended wetland delineation and the appropriate buffers shall be made to the review authority. C. Wetland Buffers. A protective open space buffer shall be required to horizontally separate wetlands from development areas. Wetland buffers shall be of a sufficient size to ensure the biological integrity and preservation of the wetland. Wetlands shall have a minimum buffer width of one hundred (100) feet wherever possible. Exception: Smaller wetland buffers may be allowed only where it can be demonstrated that: a. A one hundred (100) foot wide buffer is not possible due to site-specific constraints; and Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-5 11-258 b. The proposed narrower buffer would be amply protective of the biological integrity of the wetland given the site-specific characteristics of the resource and of the type and intensity of disturbance. D. Channel izations. Channel izations, dams, or other substantial alterations of rivers and streams shall incorporate the best mitigation measures feasible, and be limited to: 1. Necessary water supply projects. 2. Flood control projects where no other method for protecting existing structures in the floodplain is feasible and where such protection is necessary for public safety or to protect existing development 3. Developments where the primary function is the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat. F. Removal of Unauthorized Structures. All unauthorized structures that impact, or encroach into, wetlands, deepwater areas, or other water areas shall be removed. E. Diking, Filling, and Dredging Projects. Limits on Development. Development involving the diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, or estuaries shall only be permitted consistent with Section 30233 of the Coastal Act and under the following circumstances: a. Only if there is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative. b. If there is no feasible, less environmentally damaging alternative, mitigation measures shall be provided to minimize adverse environmental effects. C. Diking, filling or dredging projects shall sustain the functional capacity of the wetland, or estuary. In order to establish that the functional capacity is being maintained, the applicant must demonstrate all of the following: (1) That the project does not alter presently occurring plant and animal populations in the ecosystem in a manner that would impair the long-term stability of the ecosystem; i.e., natural species diversity, abundance, and composition are essentially unchanged as a result of the project. (2) That the project does not harm or destroy a species or habitat that is rare or endangered. (3) That the project does not harm a species or habitat that is essential to the natural biological functioning of the wetland or estuary. (4) That the project does not significantly reduce consumptive (e.g., fishing, aquaculture and hunting) or non -consumptive (e.g., water Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.3013-6 11-259 quality and research opportunity) values of the wetland or estuarine ecosystem. 2. Limits On Uses. Development involving diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands, and estuaries shall be limited to the following: a. Construction or expansion of port/marine facilities. b. Construction or expansion of coastal -dependent industrial facilities, including commercial fishing facilities, and commercial ferry facilities. C. In open coastal waters, other than wetlands, including estuaries and streams, new or expanded boating facilities, including slips, access ramps, piers, marinas, recreational boating, launching ramps, and pleasure ferries, and the placement of structural pilings for public recreational piers that provide public access and recreational opportunities. d.

Provisions for the dedication of the restored or created habitat or wetland and associated buffer areas to a public agency or non-profit entity acceptable to the reviewing authority, or permanent restriction of their use to open space purposes. 4. A monitoring and management program with mitigation objectives and performance standards. C. Habitat Creation/Restoration. ESHA. Mitigation for impacts to ESHA and other sensitive resources shall be in the form of habitat creation or substantial restoration. The mitigation shall occur on-site wherever possible. Off-site mitigation measures shall only be approved when it is not feasible to fully mitigate impacts on-site. 2. Wetlands. Mitigation shall occur in the same watershed and in the form of in-kind wetland restoration or creation whenever possible. Where out -of -kind mitigation is necessary, restoration or creation of wetlands shall be of equal or greater biological productivity to the wetland that was filled or dredged. Mitigation may $W be permitted+ham in the form of restoration that includes opening equivalent areas to tidal action or providei[Ig other sources of surface water.R rano Of nreatoR v iar roots F4RQ weti—andc D.

However, in no event shall the mitigation ratio be less than 2:1 unless, prior to the development impacts, the mitigation is completed and is empirically demonstrated to meet performance criteria that establish that the created or restored wetlands are functionallv eauivalent or superior to the imoacted wetlands. E. Timing. Any off-site mitigation site shall be purchased and legally restricted and/or dedicated before impacts to the prejeet-development site can proceed. Restoration plans shall to be reviewed and approved by a qualified professional pursuant to Section 21.50.070 (Environmental Review) prior to accepting sites for mitigation. Restoration and manaaement glans shall be submitted with the Coastal Development Permit application. At a minimum, a Coastal Development Permit will be conditioned to assure that the restoration/mitigation will occur simultaneously with construction of the approved development. F. In -lieu Fee for Wetland Impacts. An in -lieu fee may be paid to an appropriate public agency to mitigate mer wetland impacts, if no appropriate mitigation site can be acquired. Payment of an in -lieu fee would only be an option if an applicant is unable to find a potential restoration site.—The fee shall be based on the following factors: The habitat type. 2. The costs of acquisition, including litigation. 3. The cost per acre to restore or create a comparable habitat typeor--wetland within the region where the impact occurred. 4.

Maintenance dredging shall be encouraged where the dredging provides habitat protection or enhances commercial or recreational use of the Bay. When dredged material is of an appropriate grain size and grain percentage, this material may be used to restore or replace natural sandy sloping beaches in order to retain the current profiles of Newport Bay. Maintenance dredging activity shall have the approval of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and shall meet applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. 3. Dredged material not suitable for beach nourishment or other permitted beneficial reuse shall be disposed of offshore at a designated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disposal site or at an appropriate upland location. 4. Temporary dewatering of dredged spoils may be authorized within the Bay's drainage if adequate erosion controls are provided and the spoils are removed. A bond or a contractual arrangement shall be a precondition to dredging of the material, and final disposal of the dewatered material on the approved dump site shall be accomplished within the time period specified in the permit. 5. Dredged spoils shall not be used to fill riparian areas, wetlands, or natural canyons -or any native vegetation community. 6. Other mitigation measures may include opening areas to tidal action, removing dikes, improving tidal flushing, restoring salt marsh or eelgrass vegetation, or other restoration measures. 7.

Easements and Dedications. Where onsite or offsite preservation of an ESHA,-€SH buffeF, wetland, stream, or mitigation area and buffers to each is required as a condition of approval of a coastal development permit or other authorization, a guarantee of protection through direct dedication, offer to dedicate, or conservation easement shall be required. The protection guarantee shall identify the precise location and area to be set aside for preservation along with evidence of the legal ability over that area to restrict that area and/or convey a property interest in that area. Timing. Prior to the approval of a coastal development permit, the method and form of the protection guarantee shall be approved by City Attorney. The protection guarantee shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder prior to the issuance of any development permits. 2. Management and Funding. A management plan and funding plan shall be required to ensure appropriate management of the habitat area in perpetuity. 3. Method of Protection Guarantee. A method of access guarantee shall be chosen according to the following criteria: a. Deed Restriction. A deed restriction shall be used only where an owner, association or corporation agrees to assume responsibility for maintenance of and liability for the habitat area, subject to approval by theDiFeGtG reviewina authoritv. b. Grant of Fee Interest or Easement. A grant of fee interest or easement shall be used when a public agency or private organization approved by the reviewing authority is willing to assume ownership, maintenance and liability for the habitat. C. Offer of Dedication. An offer of dedication shall be used when no public agency, private organization or individual is willing to accept fee interest or easement for habitat maintenance and liability. These offers shall not be accepted until maintenance responsibility and liability is established. 4. Inventory. The City shall maintain an inventory of open space deed restrictions, dedications of lands or easementser and offers to dedicate to ensure such areas are known to the public and are protected through the coastal development permit process.

Anchorage and Mooring Location. No person having charge of any vessel shall berth or anchor the same in Newport Harbor except within the designated areas. In the designation of mooring areas and anchorage areas, consideration shall be given to the needs of commerce, the utilization of turning basins, the use of channels for navigation, Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.30C-1 11-267 and the economy of space. B. Vessel Condition. Vessels assigned must be maintained in an operable and seaworthy condition. 21.30C.050 – Harbor Development Regulations A. Protection of Coastal Access and Resources. All harbor structures, including remodels of= and—additions to, or replacement of existing structures, and new structures, shall be designed and sited so as not to obstruct public lateral access and to minimize impacts to coastal views and coastal resources. B. Protection of Vessel Launching Facilities. Existing vessel -launching shall be protected, unless replaced with facilities with equal or greater vessel -launching capabilities. C. Appearance. All structures permitted to encroach into open coastal waters, wetlands, and estuaries shall be designed and sited to harmonize with the natural appearance of the surrounding area. D. Eelgrass and Marine Habitat Protection. The use of materials in pier Pier, pier platform, gangway and dock ^^ns+r„^+.en design; shall be designed and sited and make use of materials– d methods shall nminimol that will minimize and, where feasible, avoid impacts to eelgrass and marine habitat.

The level of detail provided to address the plan's requirements shall be commensurate with the type and scale of the project, and the potential for adverse water quality and hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. A. Applicability of Post -Development Runoff Plan. A PDRP shall be required if the development requires a coastal development permit and has the potential for adverse post -development water quality or hydrologic impacts to coastal waters. If the development entails activities of changes in land use other than construction as defined in Subsection 21.35.010 (A) (11), above (e.g., allowing motorized vehicle use of a trail Previously restricted to pedestrians), including subdivision or re -division of land, the scope of the plan may be reduced accordingly. B. Submittal of Post -Development Runoff Plan. An applicant shall submit a preliminary PDRP (based on site conditions and project features known at the time of application) with the coastal development permit application, and shall submit a final PDRP prior to issuance of the coastal development permit. Any changes to the final PDRP after issuance of the coastal development permit shall be subject to additional authorization by the Director. C. Requirements of Post -Development Runoff Plan. The PDRP shall demonstrate that the development complies with the followina reauirements: 1. Address Runoff Management Early in Site Design Planning. All development shall address runoff management early in site design planning and alternatives analysis, and shall implement appropriate and feasible Site Design strategies for runoff management. Site Desian strateaies for runoff manaaement are Droiect desian and site lavout techniques that integrate existing site characteristics that affect runoff (such as topography, drainage patterns, vegetation, soil conditions, natural hydrologic features, and infiltration conditions) into the design of strategies to minimize post -development changes in the runoff flow regime, control pollutant sources, and where necessary remove Dollutants. 2. Give Precedence to Low Impact Development Approach to Stormwater Management. All development shall give precedence to the use of a Low Impact Development (LID) approach to stormwater management, to preserve the natural hydrologic functions of the site and minimize post -development changes in the site's runoff flow reaime. LID emphasizes preventive Site Desian strateaies. intearated with small-scale distributed BMPs that replicate the site's pre -development hydrologic balance through infiltration, evapotranspiration, harvesting for later on-site use, detention, or retention of stormwater close to the source. By reducing runoff, LID also reduces the transport of pollutants from the site. In implementing an LID approach, priority shall be given to the use of LID Site Design strategies (such as reducing impervious surface area) to minimize post -development changes in the site's stormwater flow regime, supplemented by Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.35-7 11-282 the use of structural LID BMPs (such as a bioretention system) if needed to mitigate any unavoidable changes in runoff flows. Use of LID Site Design strategies can reduce the volume of stormwater runoff generated, and thus reduce the need for and size of structural LID BMPs required. LID Site Design strategies and BMPs include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Protect and Restore Natural Hydrologic Features. Plan, site, and design development to protect and, where feasible, restore natural hydrologic features that provide stormwater infiltration, treatment, storage, or conveyance. Examples include: (1) Preserve natural drainage patterns, drainage swales, groundwater recharge areas, floodplains, and topographical depressions that can provide storage of small storm volumes. Preserve natural stream corridors, rivers, and wetlands, and establish appropriate buffer areas. b. Preserve or Enhance Veaetation. Plan. site. and desian development to preserve or enhance non-invasive vegetation, in order to achieve water quality benefits such as transpiration, interception of rainfall, pollutant uptake, shading of waterways to maintain water temperature, and erosion control. Examples include: (1) Minimize removal of natural non-invasive vegetation. (2) Plant additional trees and other non-invasive vegetation, preferentially native plants. C. Maintain or Enhance On -Site Infiltration. Plan. site. and desian development to maintain or enhance on-site infiltration of runoff, where appropriate and feasible, in order to preserve natural hydrologic conditions, recharge groundwater, attenuate runoff flows, retain dry -weather runoff on-site. and minimize transport of pollutants. Examples include: (1) Avoid building impervious surfaces on highly permeable areas. Cluster buildings and other impervious areas onto the site's least permeable soils. (2) Minimize unnecessary soil compaction, which can greatly reduce the infiltrative capacity of soils. Amend soil if needed to enhance its infiltration and pollutant removal capacity. (3) Install an infiltration/evapotranspiration BMP such as a bioretention system, vegetated swale, or rain garden. d. Minimize Impervious Surface Area. Plan, site, and design development to minimize the installation of impervious surfaces (including pavement, sidewalks, driveways, patios, parking areas, streets, and roof -tops), in Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.35-8 11-283 order to reduce runoff. Where feasible, increase the area of pervious surfaces in re -development. Examples include: (1) Downsize impervious coverage by minimizing the footprint of buildings and impervious pavement (such as a shorter driveway, narrower road, or smaller parking lot). 2) Where Davement is reauired. install a Dermeable pavement system (e.g., interlocking concrete pavers, porous asphalt, permeable concrete, or reinforced grass or gravel), where appropriate and feasible. Design permeable pavements so that runoff infiltrates into a subsurface recharge bed and the underlying soil, if feasible, to reduce runoff, enhance groundwater recharge, and filter out pollutants. e. Disconnect Impervious Surface Areas from Storm Drain Svstem. Plan, site, and design development to minimize directly -connected impervious areas, which are areas covered by a building, impermeable pavement, or other impervious surfaces that drain directly into the storm drain system without first flowing across permeable areas (such as vegetative landscaping). Convey runoff from impervious surfaces into permeable areas in a non-erosive manner. Examples include: (1) Direct roof -top runoff into permeable landscaped areas. (2) Direct runoff from impervious pavement into distributed permeable areas such as turf, recreational areas, medians, parking islands, and planter boxes. (3) Design curbs, berms, and similar structures to avoid isolation of vegetative landscaping and other permeable areas, and allow runoff to flow from impervious pavement to permeable areas for infiltration. Install an infiltration BMP such as a vegetated swale or filter strip to intercept runoff sheet flow from impervious surfaces. (5) Install a rainwater harvesting BMP, such as a rain barrel or cistern, to capture and store roof -top runoff for later use in on-site irrigation. Use Alternative BMPs Where On -Site Infiltration is Not ADDroariate. If on-site infiltration of runoff may potentially result in adverse impacts (including, but not limited to, geologic instability, flooding, or pollution of coastal waters), the development shall substitute alternative BMPs that do not involve on-site infiltration, to minimize changes in the runoff flow regime to the extent appropriate and feasible. Alternative BMPs shall also be used where infiltration BMPs are not adequate to treat a specific pollutant of concern attributed to the development, or where infiltration practices would conflict with regulations protecting groundwater. Examples of alternatives to infiltration BMPs include: Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.35-9 11-284 a. Install Green Roof or Flow-through Planter. Install a vegetated "preen roof' or flow-throuah planter box that does not infiltrate runoff into the ground, and instead uses evapotranspiration to reduce runoff. b. Install Rainwater Harvesting System. Install a rainwater harvesting system (such as a rain barrel or cistern) to capture and store roof -top runoff for later on-site use of non -potable water that drains to the sanitary sewer or storm drain system (such as flushing toilets).

Prevent Erosion at Stormwater Outlets. Protective measures shall be used to prevent erosion at stormwater outlets (including outlets of pipes, drains, culverts, ditches, swales, or channels), if the discharge velocity will be sufficient to potentially cause erosion from concentrated runoff flows. The type of measures selected for outlet erosion prevention shall be prioritized in the following order, depending on the characteristics of the site and the discharge velocity: a. Use Veaetative Bioenaineered Measures. Veaetative bioenaineered measures for outlet protection (such as plant wattles) shall be given preference, rather than hardened structures, where site conditions are favorable for these measures to be feasible and effective. Where plant wattles are not feasible, other bioengineered measures (such as rock and plant pole cuttings) shall be considered for outlet erosion prevention. b. Use Hardened Structure Consistinq of Loose Material. Where a vegetative bioengineered measure is not feasible or effective, a hardened structure consisting of loose material (such as a rip -rap apron or rock slope protection) shall be considered for outlet erosion prevention. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.35-11 11-286 C. Use Fixed Energy Dissipation Structure. Where none of the above measures would be feasible or effective, a fixed energy dissipation structure (such as a concrete apron, grouted rip -rap, or baffles) designed to handle the range of flows exiting the outlet shall be used for outlet erosion prevention. It is anticipated that larger outlets will require a fixed energy dissipation structure. 10. Manage BMPs for Life of Development. Appropriate protocols shall be implemented to manage post -development BMPs (including ongoing operation, maintenance, inspection, and training) in all development, to protect coastal water quality for the life of the development. 11.

Use Treatment Control BMPs Prior to Infiltration Where Necessa and Effective. Where infiltration BMPs are not adequate to remove a specific pollutant of concern attributed to the development, an effective Treatment Control BMP (or suite of BMPs) shall be required prior to infiltration of runoff, or else an alternative BMP that does not involve infiltration shall be substituted for the infiltration BMP. Select Treatment Control BMPs Effective for Pollutants of Concern. Where a Treatment Control BMP is required, a BMP (or suite of BMPs) shall be selected that has been shown to be effective in reducing the pollutants of concern generated by the proposed land use. 8. Use Runoff Control BMP if Development Will Add More Than 15.000 Sauare Feet of Impervious Surface Area. When a development results in a large impervious surface area, implementing Site Design strategies and LID BMPs may Potentially not be sufficient to minimize adverse post -development changes in runoff volume, flow rate, timing, and duration, which could adversely impact coastal waters, habitat, and property through hydromodification. A proposed development that will add a net total of more than fifteen thousand (15.000) sauare feet of impervious surface area shall implement a Runoff Control BMP, sized for the appropriate design storm (as specified in Subsection (C) (8) (a) and (b) of this section), to capture and retain a portion of the anticipated increase in runoff volume after the site is developed.

The range of room types and room rates Citywide. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.48-1.1 11-326 C. Protection of Existing Low Cost Visitor Accommodations. Low, Moderate, and High Cost Visitor Accommodations Defined. For purposes of this subsection, visitor accommodations shall be defined as low, moderate, or high cost as follows: Low Cost — The average daily room rate of all economy hotels and motels in the City that have room rates that are below the statewide average daily room rate or lower. Economy hotels and motels are AAA -rated one or two diamond hotels, or equivalent. Moderate Cost — The average daily room rate is between low cost and high cost. High Cost — The average daily room rate is 120 percent of the statewide average daily room rate or greater. For purposes of this section, room rate shall include the equivalent rental rate for campgrounds, recreational vehicle parks, hostels, and similar visitor accommodations. 2. Feasibility Analysis Required.

General Criteria. All telecom facilities shall employ design techniques to minimize visual impacts and provide appropriate screening to result in the least visually intrusive means of providing the service. Such techniques shall be employed to make the installation, appearance and operations of the facility as visually inconspicuous as practicable. To the greatest extent feasible, facilities shall be designed to minimize the visual impact of the facility by means of location, placement, height, screening, landscaping, and shall be compatible with existing architectural elements, building materials, other building characteristics, and the surrounding area. In addition to the other design standards of this section, the following criteria shall be considered by the review authority in connection with its processing of any coastal development permit for a telecom facility: 1. Blending. The extent to which the proposed telecom facility blends into the surrounding environment or is architecturally compatible and integrated into the structure. 2. Screening. The extent to which the proposed telecom facility is concealed or screened by existing or proposed new topography, vegetation, buildings or other structures. 3. Size. The total size of the proposed telecom facility, particularly in relation to surrounding and supporting structures. 4. Location. Proposed telecom facilities shall be located so as to utilize existing natural or manmade features in the vicinity of the facility, including topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures to provide the greatest amount of visual screening and blending with the predominant visual backdrop. Telecom facilities shall be sited outside any environmentally sensitive habitat area, wetland, or bluff and sited such that they have no adverse impact on public access and recreation. 5. Collocation. In evaluating whether the collocation of a telecom facility is feasible, the criteria listed in subsections (A)(1) through (4) of this section shall be used to evaluate the visual effect of the combined number of facilities at the proposed location. B. Public View Protection. All new or modified telecom facilities, whether approved by administrative or discretionary review, shall comply with Section 21.30.100 (Public View Protection). In general, telecom facilities shall be located outside any public viewshed to or along the ocean, bay, beach or coastal bluffs. Additionally, potential impacts from a new or modified telecom facility to public views that are not identified by the Coastal Land Use Plan shall be evaluated to determine if inclusion in the Coastal Land Use Plan would be appropriate. If deemed appropriate for inclusion, the potential impacts to such public views shall be considered. C. Height. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.49-6 11-343 The Planning Commission or City Council may approve or conditionally approve a coastal development permit for a telecom facility that exceeds the maximum height limit for the coastal zoning district in which the facility is located; provided, it does not exceed the maximum height limit by fifteen (15) feet, only after making all of the required findings in Section 21.49.060(H) (Required Findings for Telecom Facilities). 2. All telecom facilities shall comply with height restrictions or conditions, if any, required by the Federal Aviation Administration. 3. Telecom facilities installed on streetlights, utility poles, utility towers or other similar structures within the public right-of-way shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height above the finished grade. 4. Telecom facilities may be installed on existing utility poles or utility towers that exceed thirty-five (35) feet above the finished grade where the purposes of the existing utility pole or utility tower is to carry electricity or provide other wireless data transmission; provided, that the top of the proposed antennas do not extend above the top of the utility pole or utility tower. 5. Telecom facilities disguised as flagpoles may be installed provided they meet applicable height limits for flagpoles provided in Section 21.30.060. D. Setbacks. Proposed telecom facilities shall comply with the required setback established by the development standards for the coastal zoning district in which the facility is proposed to be located. Setbacks shall be measured from the part of the facility closest to the applicable lot line or structure. E. Design Techniques. Design techniques shall result in the installation of a telecom facility that is in harmony and scale with the surrounding area, screens the installation from view, and prevents the facility from visually dominating the surrounding area. Design techniques may include the following: Screening elements to disguise, or otherwise hide the telecom facility from view from surrounding uses. 2. Painting and/or coloring the telecom facility to blend into the predominant visual backdrop. 3. Siting the telecom facility to utilize existing features (such as buildings, topography, vegetation, etc.) to screen or hide the facility. 4. Utilizing simulated natural features (trees, rocks, etc.) to screen or hide the telecom facility. 5. Providing telecom facilities of a size that, as determined by the City, is not visually obtrusive such that any effort to screen the facility would create greater visual impacts than the facility itself. 6. To the greatest extent practicable, new Class 4 facilities shall be designed and sited to facilitate the collocation of one additional telecom operator. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.49-7 11-344 F. Screening Standards. For collocation installations, the screening method shall be materially similar to those used on the existing telecom facility, and shall not diminish the screening of the facility. If determined necessary by the review authority, use of other improved and appropriate screening methods may be required to screen the antennas and support equipment from public view. The following is a non-exclusive list of potential design and screening techniques that must be considered for all facility installations: 1. Class 1 (Stealth/Screened) Installations. a. All telecom facility components, including all antennas, antenna panels, cables, wires, conduit, mounting brackets, and support equipment, shall be fully screened, and mounted either inside the building or structure, or behind screening elements and not on the exterior face of the building or structure. Screening materials shall match in color, size, proportion, style, and quality with the exterior design and architectural character of the structure and the surrounding visual environment. If determined necessary by the reviewing authority, screening to avoid adverse impacts to views from land or buildings at higher elevations shall be required. C. When a telecom facility is proposed within an existing or new architectural feature such as a steeple, religious symbol, tower, cupola, clock tower, sign tower, etc., the facility shall be architecturally compatible with the existing structure or building. 2. Class 2 (Visible) Installations. a. Building or structure mounted antennas shall be painted or otherwise coated to match or complement the predominant color of the structure on which they are mounted and shall be compatible with the architectural texture and materials of the building to which the antennas are mounted. No cables, wires, conduit, mounting brackets or any other associated support equipment shall be visible. All antenna components and support equipment shall be treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the predominant visual background and/or adjacent architecture so as to visually blend in with the surrounding development. Subdued colors and nonreflective materials that blend with surrounding materials and colors shall be used. 3. For Class 3 (Public Right -of -Way) Installations. a. Whenever feasible, new antennas proposed to be installed in the public right-of-way shall be placed on existing utility structures, streetlights, or other existing vertical structures. Antenna installations on existing or replacement streetlight poles or utility poles shall be screened by means of canisters, radomes, shrouds other screening measures whenever feasible, and treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the existing pole. b. New or replacement vertical structures may be allowed when authorized by the Municipal Code and approved by the Public Works Department. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.49-8 11-345 Replacement poles or streetlights shall be consistent with the size, shape, style, and design of the existing pole, including any attached light arms. New poles or streetlights may be installed, provided they match existing or planned poles within the area. C. If antennas are proposed to be installed without screening, they shall be flush -mounted to the pole and shall be treated with exterior coatings of a color and texture to match the pole. 4. Class 4 (Freestanding Structure) Installations. a. The installation of new lattice towers or monopoles with visible antennas or antenna arrays is strongly discouraged due to the visual effects of such facilities. Preferred monopole designs include fully screened antennas without visible brackets, cables, or conduit. Additionally, any lattice tower or monopole should be sited in the least obtrusive location as practicable. b. The construction of new freestanding structures such as signs, monoliths, pyramids, light houses, or other similar vertical structures shall be designed and sited to appropriately complement a site and screen all elements of the telecom facility. C. The installation of artificial rocks shall match in scale and color with other rock outcroppings in the general vicinity of the proposed site. An artificial rock screen may not be considered appropriate in areas that do not have natural rock outcroppings. d. The installation of artificial trees or shrubbery is strongly discouraged if they are obviously not natural to the average reasonable observer. When an artificial tree or shrubbery is proposed, it shall be designed for and located in a setting that is compatible with the proposed screening method. Such installations shall be situated so as to utilize existing natural or manmade features including topography, vegetation, buildings, or other structures to provide the greatest amount of visual screening. All antennas and antenna supports shall be contained within the canopy of the tree design or other vegetation comparable to that being replicated by the proposed screening elements. Finally, the addition of new comparable living vegetation may be necessary to enhance the artificial tree or shrubbery screening elements. e. Flagpoles shall not exceed twenty-four (24) inches in width at the base of the flagpole and also shall not exceed twenty (20) inches in width at the top of the flagpole. 5. Class 5 (Temporary) Installations. A temporary telecom facility installation may require screening to reduce visual impacts depending on the duration of the permit and the setting of the proposed site. If screening methods are determined to be necessary by the review authority, the appropriate screening methods will be determined through the application review and permitting process in consideration of the temporary nature of the facility. 6. Support Equipment. All support equipment associated with the operation of any telecom facility shall be placed or mounted in the least visually obtrusive location practicable, and shall be screened from view. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.49-9 11-346 a. Installations on Private Property.

Roof -Mounted Telecom Facilities. All screening materials for roof -mounted facilities shall be of a quality and design compatible with the architecture, color, texture and materials of the building to which it is mounted. If determined necessary by the review authority, screening to avoid adverse impacts to views from land or buildings at higher elevations shall be required. iii. Freestanding Telecom Facilities. For freestanding facilities installations, not mounted on a building or structure, support equipment for the facility may be visually screened by locating the support equipment in a fully enclosed building, in an underground vault, or in a security enclosure consisting of walls and/or landscaping to effectively screen the support equipment at the time of installation. iv. All wall and landscaping materials shall be selected so that the resulting screening will be visually integrated with the architecture and landscape architecture of the surroundings. V. Screening enclosures may utilize graffiti -resistant and climb -resistant vinyl -clad chain link with a "closed -mesh" design (i.e., one -inch gaps) or may consist of an alternate enclosure design approved by the review authority. In general, the screening enclosure shall be made of nonreflective material and painted to blend with surrounding materials and colors. vi. If placed in an underground vault, flush -to -grade vents, or alternatively, vents that extend no more than twenty-four (24) inches above the finished grade and are screened from public view may be utilized. b. Installations in a Public Right -of -Way. The following is a non-exclusive list of potential screening techniques for telecom facilities located in a public right-of-way: Where existing utilities services (e.g., telephone, power, cable TV) are located underground, the support equipment shall be placed underground if required by other provisions of the Municipal Code. Flush -to -grade underground vault enclosures, including flush -to -grade vents, or vents that extend no more than twenty-four Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page 21.49-10 11-347 (24) inches above the finished grade and are screened from public view may be incorporated. Electrical meters required for the purpose of providing power for the proposed telecom facility may be installed above ground on a pedestal in a public right-of-way provided they meet applicable standards of Title 13 unless otherwise precluded by the Municipal Code. Support equipment approved to be located above ground in a public right-of-way shall be painted or otherwise coated to be visually compatible with the existing or replacement pole, lighting and/or traffic signal equipment without substantially increasing the width of the structure. iii. All transmission or amplification equipment such as remote radio units, tower mounted amplifiers, and surge suppressors shall be mounted inside the utility or streetlight pole without materially increasing the pole diameter or shall be installed in the vault enclosure supporting the facility. G. Night Lighting. Telecom facilities shall not be lighted except for security lighting at the lowest intensity necessary for that purpose or as may be recommended by the United States Flag Code (4 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq.). Such lighting shall be shielded so that direct illumination does not directly shine on nearby properties or upon any ocean, beach, bay, environmentally sensitive habitat area or wetland. The review authority shall consult with the Police Department regarding proposed security lighting for facilities on a case-by-case basis. H. Signs and Advertising. No advertising signage or identifying logos shall be displayed on any telecom facility except for small identification, address, warning, and similar information plates. Such information plates shall be identified in the telecom application and shall be subject to approval by the review authority. Signage required by State or Federal regulations shall be allowed in its smallest permissible size. Nonconformities. A proposed or modified telecom facility shall not create any new or increased nonconformity as defined in this Implementation Plan, such as, but not limited to, a reduction in and/or elimination of, required parking, landscaping, or loading zones unless relief is sought pursuant to applicable zoning code procedures. Maintenance. The telecom operator shall be responsible for maintenance of the telecom facility in a manner consistent with the original approval of the facility, including but not limited to the following: Any missing, discolored, or damaged screening shall be restored to its original permitted condition. 2.

To ensure that sea level rise is adequately addressed in the review of coastal development permit applications and in future updates and amendments to the City's Local Coastal Program (LCP). Introduction. Climate change and sea level rise have the potential to significantly threaten many resources within the City's coastal zone, including shoreline development, coastal beach access and recreation, habitats, and scenic resources. These resources are subject to specific protections and regulations in the Coastal Act and the City's LCP. Given that the width of the City's beaches varies between fifty and six -hundred (50 and 600) feet, a sea level rise of as little as six (6) inches may have a negative impact on the low-lying areas around Newport Bay that are not protected by bulkheads and seawalls. Seawalls and bulkheads may also themselves cause coastal resource impacts by causing flooding and eventual loss of areas seaward of the structure that would otherwise migrate inland, such as beaches —a process often called "coastal squeeze." Sea level rise may also cause increased coastal bluff retreat in the southern portion of the City where the beaches are narrow, and the surf pounds at the base of the bluffs, eroding away the soft bedrock that forms the cliffs. The potential impacts of sea level rise include loss of recreational beaches due to accelerated erosion, loss of waterfront property through erosion and inundation of low-lying areas, the loss of coastal bluff property through increased bluff retreat, and the loss of and changes to natural habitats in the Upper Newport Bay, Semeniuk Slough, and other low-lying natural areas. In addition, there could be severe social and economic hardships associated with the loss or relocation of visitor -serving, recreational, and coastal -dependent and coastal -related businesses and facilities. III. City's Plan of Action. The City understands there is a threat of flooding and inundation in and around Newport Harbor due to sea level rise. Acknowledging the considerable uncertainty in the magnitude of the rise in sea level, the City intends to undertake a proactive program to monitor the rate of sea level rise and be prepared to implement a series of aGtiens based on the aGt al rico in sea io.,oi both now and in the future. These A_ vulnerability assessment will be prepared to help develop a long-term adaptation strategy. In both the short and long-term, potential actions may include requiring proper siting and maintenance of public and privately–owned seawalls be properly maintained; ned; requiring public and privately–owned seawalls caps be extended per City standards; revising City standards for new seawall, top -of -seawall elevation and finished floor elevations; studying ways to provide and maintainup blic access to beaches, docks and piers; and monitoring and replenishing beach sand loss in the harbor and along the ocean. The efforts of the City, both immediately and long-term, are directly in accordance with the Coastal Land Use Plan policies which are listed below: Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-1 11-568 2.8.6-1. Prepare and periodically update comprehensive studies of seasonal and long-term shoreline change, episodic and chronic bluff retreat, flooding, and local changes in sea levels, and other coastal hazard conditions. 2.8.6-2. Continue to monitor beach width and elevations and analyze monitoring data to establish approximate thresholds for when beach erosion or deflation will reach a point that it could expose the backshore development to flooding or damage from storm waves. 2.8.6-3. Develop and implement a comprehensive beach replenishment program to assist in maintaining beach width and elevations. Analyze monitoring data to determine nourishment priorities, and try to use nourishment as shore protection, in lieu of more permanent hard shoreline armoring options. 2.8.6-4. Maintain existing groin fields and jetties and modify as necessary to eliminate or mitigate adverse effects on shoreline processes. 2.8.6-5. Permit revetments, breakwaters, groins, harbor channels, seawalls, cliff retaining walls and other structures altering natural shoreline processes or retaining walls when required to serve coastal -dependent uses or to protect existing principal structures or public beaches in danger from erosion and when designed to eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply, unless a waiver of future shoreline protection was required by a previous coastal development permit. 2.8.6-6. Design and site protective devices to minimize impacts to coastal resources, minimize alteration of natural shoreline processes, provide for coastal access, minimize visual impacts, and eliminate or mitigate adverse impacts on local shoreline sand supply. 2.8.6-7. Discourage shoreline protective devices on public land to protect private property/development. Site and design any such protective devices as far landward as possible. Such protective devices may be considered only after hazard avoidance, restoration of the sand supply, beach nourishment and planned retreat are exhausted as possible alternatives. 2.8.6-8. Limit the use of protective devices to the minimum required to protect existing development and prohibit their use to enlarge or expand areas for new development or for new development. "Existing development" for purposes of this policy shall consist only of a principle structure, e.g. residential dwelling, required garage, or second residential unit, and shall not include accessory or ancillary structures such as decks, patios, pools, tennis courts, cabanas, stairs, landscaping etc. 2.8.6-9. Require property owners to record a waiver of future shoreline protection for new development during the economic life of the structure (75 years) as a condition of approval of a coastal development permit for new development on a beach, shoreline, or bluff that is subject to wave action, erosion, flooding, landslides, or other hazards associated with development on a beach or bluff. Shoreline protection may be permitted to protect existing structures that were legally constructed prior to the certification of the LCP, unless a waiver of future shoreline protection was required by a previous coastal development permit. 2.8.6-10. Site and design new structures to avoid the need for shoreline and bluff protective devices during the economic life of the structure (75 years). Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-2 11-569 Future Steps Based on the expected rate of sea level rise, the City staff will revise existing or devise new policies for consideration by City Council and incorporation into the LCP through a future LCP amendment. Current policies that could be revised include changes to the minimum finished floor elevation, maximum roof heights, setbacks, public access requirements, existing or new seawall requirements including associated mitigation requirements, and drainage requirements. As part of a future LCP update, the City will conduct a sea level rise vulnerability assessment for the City's entire coastal zone. Recent peer reviewed science indicates that, in the next few decades, most sea level rise impacts will be experienced during extreme events like EI Ninos and storms. Therefore, monitoring tide gauges alone will not be sufficient to predict and prepare for those impacts. Further, development decisions made today will affect vulnerabilities of that development decades from now. Structures with a long "lifetime", high sensitivity, or low adaptive capacity should be sited in locations that avoid sea level rise -related hazards for their economic lifetimes, and those siting and design decisions should be made using best available information on the projected future risks of sea level rise. A future vulnerability assessment will include the geographic extent of the public tidelands granted to the City, as required by AB 691, as well as development within the entire coastal zone. Such a study will use the current best available science' regarding projections of sea level rise and use scenario based analysis to consider potential amounts of future sea level rise. The vulnerability assessment will help the City prepare an LCP update that implements additional actions based on the actual rise in sea level as well as in response to expected future impacts, where appropriate. Those actions will include strategies that minimize coastal hazards and maximize protection of coastal resources includina but not limited to public access within State tidelands. The City will continue to analyze the potential impacts of sea level rise on the community and will consider policies and corresponding development standards for public review and discussion. The City will also coordinate with local and regional partners to share information and adaptation planning ideas related to sea level rise. This Information gained from analysis of wave -runup and flooding potential for individual development projects will be used along with the City-wide vulnerability assessment to develop Local Coastal Program -may also require appicepiciate amendments, which will require review and approval by the Coastal Commission. IV. Review of Coastal Development Permits. Upon certification of the Local Coastal Program, the City will issue coastal development permits, based on policies and standards contained therein. ' At the time of the drafting of this Implementation Plan, the National Research Council's 2012 report, Sea -Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon and Washington: Past, Present and Future (NCR 2012) is considered the best available science on sea level rise in California. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-3 11-570 The City will use the best -available science to determine a range of sea level rise projections for use in reviewing coastal development permit applications. Sea level rise science continues to evolve, and some processes that are not fully understood may potentially have large effects on future sea level rise. Therefore, the City will re-examine the best available science periodically in conjunction with the release of new information on sea level rise. The City will consider relevant science that is current, peer-reviewed, and widely accepted among the scientific community, such as the newly developed FloodRISE prosect from UC Irvine. The National Research Council's 2012 report, Sea -Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon and Washington: Past, Present and Future (NRC 2012) provides sea level rise projections of 2-12 inches by 2030, 5-24 inches by 2050, and 17-66 inches by 2100 for Southern California. Sea level rise amounts expected by years other than 2030, 2050, and 2100 should be calculated by interpolating or extrapolating data points using best fit equations. Sea level rise projections that match the anticipated project life of the development under consideration should be used. In its review of coastal development permits, the following policy shall be takeR rnnsideratinn implemented in addition to the relevant policies stated in Section III. 2.8.3-1. Require all coastal development permit applications for new development on a beach or on a coastal bluff property subject to wave action to assess the potential for flooding or damage from waves, storm surge, or seiches, through a wave uprush and impact reports prepared by a licensed civil engineer with expertise in coastal processes. The conditions that shall be considered in a wave uprush study are: a seasonally eroded beach combined with long-term (75 years) erosion; high tide conditions, combined with long-term (75 year) projections for sea level rise; storm waves from a 100 -year event or a storm that compares to the 1982/83 EI Nino event. Applicability. Sea level rise should be considered in the review of a CDP when the project is in an area that is reasonably expected to be impacted by sea level rise over the lifetime of the new development, including but not limited to areas on low-lying land, on eroding coastal bluffs, or are in proximity to water. These include: • "Low-lying land" areas include the Semeniuk Slough, West Newport, Lido Peninsula, Balboa Peninsula, Bay Island, Balboa Island, Little Balboa Island, Collins Island, Balboa Coves, Mariners' Mile, Balboa Bay Club Resort, Bay Shores, Harbor Island, and Beacon Bay. • "Eroding coastal bluffs" include those along Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar and in Shorecliffs and Cameo Shores. • "Proximity to water" includes all of the above areas and shoreline properties in Newport Shores, Newport Island, Lido Isle, Harbor Island, Bayside, Carnation Cove, China Cove, Bayside Village, Newport Dunes, and Dover Shores. To facilitate this review, the following steps/analysis shall beGGRGideFed required in developing the application submittal. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-4 11-571 Step 1 Establish the projected sea level rise range for the proposed project's planning horizon (life of project) using the current best available science. Step 2 For each sea level rise scenario identified in Step 1, Bdetermine how physical impacts from sea level rise may impact the project site, including erosion, structural and geological stability, flooding and inundation. Wave Uprush and Wave Impacts (see Section 21.30.015.C.-34). The wave uprush and wave impact the analysis should identify risks that potentially could occur over the anticipated life of the project from 1) a seasonally eroded beach combined with long term (75 -year) erosion., including accelerated erosion rates resulting from sea level rise; 2) high tide conditions, combined with long-term (75 year) projections for sea level rise; and 3) storm waves from a 100 -year event or a storm that compares to the 1982/83 EI Nino event. 2. Geologic Stability (see Section 21.30.015.C.45). Geologic stability reports should analyze site-specific stability and structural integrity without reliance upon existing or new protective devices (including cliff -retaining structures, seawalls, revetments, groins, buried retaining walls, and caisson foundations) that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs and cliffs. Geologic stability can include, among others, concerns such as landslides, slope failure, liquefiable soils, and seismic activity. In most situations, the analyses of these concerns will be combined with the erosion analysis to fully establish the safe developable area. 3. Erosion. The erosion analysis should establish the extent of erosion that could occur from current processes, as well as future erosion hazards associated with the identified sea level rise scenarios over the life of the project. If possible, these erosion conditions should be shown on a site map, and the erosion zone, combined with the geologic stability concerns, can be used to help establish locations on the parcel or parcels that can be developed without reliance upon existing or new protective devices (including cliff -retaining structures, seawalls, revetments, groins, buried retaining walls, and caissons) that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs and cliffs. 4. Flooding and Inundation. The flooding or inundation analysis should identify the current tidal datum and include analysis of the extent of flooding or inundation that potentially could occur from the identified sea level rise scenarios. 5. Other Impacts. Any additional sea level rise related impacts that could be expected to occur over the life of the project, such as saltwater intrusion should be evaluated. This may be especially significant for areas with a high groundwater table such as wetlands or coastal resources that might rely upon groundwater. Step 3 Determine how the project may impact coastal resources, considering the influence of sea level rise over the life of the project. Resources to Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-5 11-572 consider shall include public access and recreation, coastal habitats, water quality, archaeological/paleontological resources and scenic resources. Step 4 Seek alternatives to avoid resource impacts and minimize risk to the project, such as increasing heights of sea walls or finished floor elevations. Step 5 In conjunction with the approval of the CDP, appropriate conditions of approval will be placed on the project. Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page A-6 11-573 Appendix B — Coastal Access Signing Program Sign Guidelines. a. Signs should be place to allow safe pedestrian clearance and should avoid conflict with door opening or vehicular operation. Signs should be located to be easily read, and placed to provide safe stopping or turning distance. Height should normally be 40 inches from the ground to the bottom of a single sign and 36 inches from the ground to the bottom of a double sign. Signs along walkways should be set back a minimum of 18 inches. b. Signing should be consolidated wherever possible: it is preferable to have one sign with three messages that three signs on three separate posts with separate messages. Signs can be combined with other fixtures such as lights to reduce unnecessary posts and cluttering of the landscape or view. However, types of signs should not be mixed; warning or regulatory signs especially should not be mixed with other types. C. The style for lettering should be standardized throughout the signing system. d. Coastal access signs should incorporate a standardized symbol that is recognizable by the general public as a symbol that means coastal access. e. Any segment of the California Coastal Trail should incorporate official California Coastal Commission "foot and wave" logo and/or the words "California Coastal Trail." The use of international, pictorial symbols can also be an integral part of a standardized signing program for accessways. The use of symbols rather than phrases or sentences has a number of advantages: symbols are more explicit than words; sign size can be reduced; and symbols are more explicit than words; sign size can be reduced; and symbols are universally understood. When located correctly, signs using symbols are universally understood. When located correctly, signs using symbols can stand alone, with little or no additional explanation. When used consistently throughout the accessway signing system, the symbols can be used in conjunction with additional written information to provide a quick index to the types of activity, the regulations for use and the location of accessways which are part of the system. Symbol signs have been standardized and are readily available from most sign companies. Types of Signs. There are four basic sign types. The kind of information that a sign is conveying determines its placement, design and use. a. Wayfinding. These signs help orient visitors, shoppers, and residents alike, pointing them to area parking facilities, retail establishments, pedestrian and bicycle access routes, and other important destinations. A wayfinding signs can be Newport Beach LCP Implementation Plan Page B-1 11-574 tailored to specific groups depending on contextual factors and desired outcomes; however, these tools are most relevant and important for those unfamiliar with an area. Wayfinding informs people of the best way to access an area, depending on their mode of travel. Marine -oriented signs should assist owners/operators of visiting vessels to locate harbor support facilities. b. Public Access. These signs assist the public in locating, recognizing, and utilizing public trails and bikeways. These signs should be used intersections with roads or trails and at trailheads. Use of too many directional signs should be avoided. However, where it is necessary to use a number of directional signs, they can be effectively clustered. To indicate a change in route or confirmation of a correct direction, an arrow should be included in a directional sign. Where appropriate, these signs should include information advising the public of environmentally sensitive habitats, safety hazards, and to respect adjacent private property. Marine -oriented signs should assist boat owners/operators and the public to locate public launching and docking facilities. C. Informational Signs.
