Title
Greaves Residence Modification Permit (PA2025-0157)
Site Location: 910 Kings Road
Recommendation
Project Summary
A request for a modification permit to allow a 515-square-foot addition to an existing 2,912-square-foot single-unit dwelling with an attached 422-square-foot two-car garage. The existing garage is considered legal nonconforming because it does not meet the minimum required interior dimensions. The garage provides the minimum required depth of 20 feet; however, the existing width is substandard at 19 feet, 8 inches when the minimum requirement is 20 feet. A modification permit is required pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 20.38.060 (Nonconforming Parking) as the applicant proposes an addition of more than 10% of the existing gross square footage of the residence without altering the existing nonconforming garage for compliance. The project meets all applicable development standards, and no other deviations are requested
