Project Summary
The applicant requests a coastal development permit (CDP) to demolish an existing duplex and construct a new three-story 2,490 square-foot single-unit dwelling with an attached 307 square-foot junior accessory dwelling unit (JADU) and attached 434 square-foot two-car garage. The project includes landscape, hardscape, and subsurface drainage facilities all within the confines of private property. The project complies with all development standards and no deviations from the municipal code are requested.
The property is bisected by the coastal permit jurisdiction boundary resulting in a portion of the patio accessory improvements and the seawall improvements to be within the California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) permit jurisdiction. This CDP is intended to cover portions of the Project within the City’s permit authority as designated in Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC).
