Legal Description |
Lot ,13 , Tract 444 |
On October 22, 2007,
the Zoning Administrator approved the application request for a Tentative
Parcel Map for two-unit
condominium purposes. No exceptions to the development standards are proposed
with this application. The property is currently occupied by a duplex that
will be demolished and replaced with a two-unit condominium project with the required
two-car parking per unit.
The property is located in the R-2 District. The Zoning
Administrator’s approval is based on the following findings and subject to
the following conditions. |
FINDINGS
The Zoning Administrator determined in this case that
the proposed parcel map is consistent with the legislative intent of Title 20
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and is approved based on the following
findings per Section 19.12.070 of Title 19:
1.
The approval of
the proposed parcel map will convert the new duplex, which is currently under
construction, into a two-unit condominium structure. The existing density of
the lot will remain the same. The proposed subdivision and improvements are
consistent with the density of the R-2 Zoning District and the current General
Plan Land Use Designation “Two Unit Residential”.
2.
The lot is
regular in shape and has very little slope which indicates that the site is
suitable for development.
3.
This project has
been reviewed, and it has been determined that it is categorically exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 5
(Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) and Class 15 (Minor Land
Divisions).
4.
The proposed
parcel map is for residential condominium purposes. The construction of the
proposed condominiums will comply with all Building, Public Works, and Fire
Codes. Public improvements will be required of the developer per Section
19.28.010 of the Municipal Code and Section 66411 of the Subdivision Map Act.
All ordinances of the City and all Conditions of Approval will be complied
with.
5.
The design of
the subdivision will not conflict with any easements acquired by the
public-at-large for access through or use of the property within the proposed
subdivision. Currently, there are no public easements located on the property.
6.
The property is
not subject to the Williamson Act since its use is not agricultural.
7.
The property is not
located within the boundaries of a specific plan and is not subject to any
specific plan regulations.
8.
The proposed
subdivision and improvements are subject to Title 24 of the California Building
Code that requires new construction to meet minimum heating and cooling
efficiency standards depending on location and climate. The Newport Beach
Building Department enforces Title 24 compliance through the plan check and
inspection process.
9.
The proposed
subdivision is consistent with Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act and
Section 655584 of the California Government Code regarding the City’s share of
the regional housing need. The residential density on the site will remain the
same. No affordable housing units are being eliminated based upon the fact that
the existing duplex is not occupied by low or moderate income households.
10.
Wastewater
discharge into the existing sewer system will remain the same and does not
violate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.
