Title
SETBACK MAP CORRECTIONS ZONING CODE AND LCP AMENDMENT (PA2020-006)
Site Location: Citywide
Recommendation
Summary:
Amendments to the Planning and Zoning Code (Title 20) and Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan (Title 21) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) to correct identified errors in the setback maps contained in NBMC Sections 20.80.040 and 21.80.040 (Setback Maps). These maps provide the minimum distance a primary residential structure must be set back from a property line or other identified line such as a bulkhead or abandoned right-of-way line. These setbacks also establish front yard setback areas regulating accessory structures that differ from side or rear yard setback areas.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 21065 of CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3) and 15378. The proposed action is also exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment;
3. Adopt Resolution No. PC2021-020 recommending the City Council approve Code Amendment No. CA2020-001; and
4. Adopt Resolution No. PC2021-021 recommending the City Council authorize staff to submit Local Coastal Program Amendment No. LC2020-001 to the California Coastal Commission.
