Legal Description

 

Lot 1, and a portion of Lot 2, Block 28 of the East Side Addition to Balboa Tract, Lot 1, Block S and a portion of Lot 2, Block S in the Bay Front section of Balboa Tract and a portion of the abandoned Bay Avenue right-of-way

 

On July 9, 2007, the Zoning Administrator approved the application request to combine two lots, a portion of two lots, and a portion of an abandoned right-of-way into a single parcel of land for single-family development and related amenities. The parcel as proposed complies with the Zoning Code required lot width and area minimums for the R-1 District. 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

 

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 allow single family development and related improvements. The existing single-family dwelling unit will remain unchanged at this time. The proposed improvements will not affect the existing density of the property which will remain the same. The proposed improvements are permitted in the R-1 Zoning District and the proposed subdivision is consistent with the density of the R-1 Zoning District and the current General Plan Land Use Designation “Single-Unit Residential Detached”.

 

2.                              The lot is regular in shape and has very little slope which indicates that the site is suitable for the proposed improvements and 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 single family development and related improvements. At this time, the existing single-family structure will remain unchanged. All Building, Public Works, and Fire codes will be complied with in the construction of the proposed improvements and any future development of the property. Public improvements may 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 improvements and any future construction related to the existing single-family dwelling unit 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 65584 of California Government Code regarding the City’s share of the regional housing need. The proposed subdivision will have no effect on the residential density on the site since the existing single-family dwelling unit is not being demolished at this time.

 

10.                         Wastewater discharge into the existing sewer system will remain consistent with the existing single family residential use of the property, which does 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 single-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
