Project Summary
A request for a coastal development permit (CDP) to allow renovations to an existing two-story, nonconforming triplex. The project includes a 620-square-foot second floor addition, a new 407-square-foot third floor, and the reclassification of an existing unit into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), resulting in a three-story, 3,031-square-foot duplex with a 449-square-foot internal ADU.

A modification permit is requested to allow a reduced carport parking space width of 8 feet, 4 inches, whereas the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) requires 9 feet, 3 inches be provided (Project).
