Title
Hogan Residence Coastal Development Permit Variance (PA2025-0143)
Site Location: 1529 Dolphin Terrace
Recommendation
Project Summary
A request for a coastal development permit to allow the demolition of the existing single-unit residence and the construction of a new, 9,337-square-foot, 14-foot-tall single-unit residence including a 644-square-foot, 3-car garage and 2,901-square-foot basement. The property is located within the Bluff (B) Overlay District of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC). The development includes a coastal variance to the Bluff (B) Overlay standards of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) to allow the principal structure to extend beyond Development Area A into Development Area B. The property is within the Categorical Exclusion Area (CEO) but does not qualify under the exclusion due to the proposed coastal variance. The proposed development includes additional appurtenances such as a pool, walls, fences, patios, hardscape, drainage devices and landscaping. With the exception of the variance to the Bluff (B) Overlay of Title 21, the project complies with all development standards.
