Legal Description

 

Lots 2 and 3, Tract 2813

 

On September 24, 2007, the Zoning Administrator approved the application request to allow the adjustment between two parcels of land, taking the land from one parcel and attaching it to the other. There will be no change in the number of parcels. Both parcels front Chubasco Drive. The property is located in the R-1 District. The Zoning Administrator’s approval is based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions.

 

 

FINDINGS

 

1.                  In approving this lot line adjustment through a Modification Permit, the Zoning Administrator finds that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use of the property or building will not, under the circumstances of this particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or general welfare of the City, and further that the proposed lot line adjustment, as approved, is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 19 and Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code based on the following reasons:

 

·              The lots are for single-family development, a permitted use in this area which is also consistent with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program.

·              The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under class 15 (Minor Land Divisions) and Class 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations).

·              The general exception to the Class exemptions is not applicable in this case, since no significant environmental effects will result from this project because the traffic and parking impacts will not change from that which would result from the use of the original subdivision.

 

2.                  The Zoning Administrator also makes the following Specific Findings:

 

·                    The proposed lot line adjustment will move the interior lot line between two legal lots.

·                    Land taken from Lot 2, Tract 02813 will be added to Lot 3, Tract 02813 and no additional parcels will result from the lot line adjustment.

·                    The project will not result in a change in land use or density since no additional lots are being created and the single-family residential use will be maintained.

·                    The proposed lot width and lot size are consistent with the zoning requirements of Title 20 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code for the R-1 District.

·                    The lot line adjustment, in and of itself, will not result in the need for additional improvements and/or facilities because public improvements and infrastructure currently exist within the neighborhood.

 

PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS

 

1.                  All applicable Public Works Department plan check fees shall be paid prior to review of the lot line adjustment and grant deeds.

 

2.                  Prior to recordation of the lot line adjustment, grant deeds indicating the changes in titles of ownership should be submitted to the Public Works Department for review and approval.

 

3.                  The lot line adjustment and grant deeds reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department should be filed concurrently with the County Recorder and County Assessor’s Offices.

 

4.                  No building permits may be issued until the appeal period has expired, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Department.

 

5.                  This approval shall expire unless exercised within 24 months from the date of approval as specified in Section 20.93.050 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

 

Appeal Period

 

The Zoning Administrator’s decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission within 14 days of the action date. A $600.00 filing fee shall accompany any appeal filed. No building permits may be issued until the appeal period has expired.
