Title
Sjodin Residence Addition Modification Permit (PA2025-0137)
Site Location: 1977 Port Seabourne Way
Recommendation
Project Summary
The applicant proposes a 358-square-foot addition (17%) to an existing nonconforming single-unit residence where the Zoning Code limits additions to 10% of the existing gross floor area when the required parking dimensions are not provided. The Property currently provides interior garage dimensions of 19 feet 4 inches in width and 20 feet in depth. Given that the Property’s lot width exceeds 40 feet, the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) requires a minimum interior garage dimension of 20 feet in width by 20 feet in depth for the two-car garage.
