Legal Description

 

Lot 6, Block 140 , Newport Beach Tract

 

On October 22, 2007, the Zoning Administrator approved the application request for two-unit condominium purposes. The existing duplex has been demolished and a new duplex is currently under construction. The required two-car parking per unit will be provided. There are no exceptions to the development standards of Title 19 (section 19.12) requested. 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 proposed parcel map is for condominium purposes. A previously existing duplex was demolished and a new duplex, currently under construction, will become 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 the 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 will not violate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) requirements.

 

11.             The proposed parcel map conforms to the certified Local Coastal Program since the site is located in a two-family residential development and is not developed with coastal-related uses, coastal-dependent uses or water-oriented recreational uses that would be displaced. Public access exists nearby making on-site vertical and lateral access unnecessary.
