Title
Childs Residence Modification Permit (PA2026-0093)
Site Location: 2391 Azure Avenue
Recommendation
Project Summary
A request for a modification permit to allow a 947-square-foot addition to an existing 1,505-square-foot single-unit residence with nonconforming parking (63% addition). Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) limits additions to a maximum of 10% of the existing gross floor area when a residence has nonconforming parking. The existing garage is considered nonconforming due to the width, as the garage only provides an interior clear dimension of 19 feet, 4 inches wide by 21 feet, 3 inches deep, where 20 feet wide by 20 feet deep is required. The addition otherwise complies with all applicable development standards, and no other deviations are requested.
