Agenda Item No. 22
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: David A. Webb, Public Works Director- (949) 644 -3330,

TITLE: Adopt Resolution Establishing Two -hour Parking Restrictions on Old Newport
Boulevard from Hospital Road to Catalina Drive
ABSTRACT:
In an effort to improve the overall parking conditions on Old Newport Boulevard, staff recommends
adoption of a Resolution for Establishing Two -hour Parking Restrictions on Old Newport Boulevard from
Hospital Road to Catalina Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Rescind Resolution No. 2014 -21; and
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2015 -36, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Limiting
the Parking of Vehicles on Certain Streets and Rescinding Resolution No. 2014 -21, for the establishment of
two -hour parking restrictions on Old Newport Boulevard from Hospital Road to Catalina Drive.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this item.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has received a petition from fourteen (14) business and property owners on Old Newport Boulevard
asking the City to limit parking to two (2) hours for seventeen (17) parking spaces in the City parking lot
south of Hospital Road. It is stated in the petition that, with no time restrictions, vehicles are currently
parking in the area for extended periods of time. Local business owners have told staff that employees from
adjacent properties are using the parking lot for all -day parking. The concern is that the unrestricted parking
is negatively affecting the businesses along Old Newport Boulevard, particularly small businesses without
any private off - street parking.
The parking lot area on the west side of Old Newport Boulevard, located south of Hospital Road, has
twenty -nine (29) striped parking spaces, which includes one (1) handicapped space. Additionally, there are
eleven (11) spaces along the Old Newport Boulevard right -of -way north of the parking lot, which include
22 -1
two (2) handicapped spaces
Staff believes that the request for seventeen (17) two -hour spaces is too large. Many of the area
businesses, including retail and medical office buildings, have their own off - street or reserved parking
spaces. The primary issue is the use of the parking lot by the employees of area businesses and medical
practices. Staff is concerned that if too many spaces in the parking lot are designated for two -hour parking,
these employees will migrate to park in the nearby residential neighborhood. The challenge is to provide for
enough parking for the customers of the Old Newport Boulevard businesses, while not potentially impacting
the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Municipal Code Section 12.44.010 B. states that "When authorized signs are in place or the display of a
parking meter gives notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand, or park any vehicle between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. of any day for a period of longer than two hours upon such streets or portions
thereof as the City Council shall designate by resolution ". The Resolution being presented defines the limits
of Old Newport Boulevard where two -hour parking restrictions can be established. Staff proposes to restrict
parking within the defined limits, but only where authorized signs are installed. The Resolution will provide
the flexibility to adjust the number of spaces with time restrictions based on changing parking conditions in
the area. For example, should ten (10) parking spaces prove to be insufficient in number, more two -hour
spaces can be established and signs can be posted without having to return to City Council. This is
important for an area where business and residential areas are located immediately adjacent to each other.
It is staffs recommendation that ten (10) parking spaces initially be designated in the parking lot for two -
hour parking restrictions 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except Sundays and holidays.
Letters were sent to current business owners, property owners, tenants and homeowners in the
surrounding area notifying them of the request to change the on- street parking conditions on the street
(Attachment D). The letter also indicated that individuals would have an opportunity to provide comments at
the May 12, 2015 City Council meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in
Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at
which the City Council considers the item).

PETITION FOR DESIGNATING 17 PARKING SPACES
IN THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PARKING LOT LOCATED IMMEDIATELY
SOUTH OF 325 OLD NEWPORT AS TWO -HOUR PARKING
We, the undersigned, own stores and businesses in the vicinity of the city parking lot located
just south of and adjoining 325 Old Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA. There are 29
parking spaces in the main lot and 6 spaces on Old Newport Boulevard, all unlimited parking,
with no time restriction.
In both the parking lot and the on- street spaces, some cars are parked there for hours —if not all
day long —but not by our customers.
In some cases, the spaces are being used by people going elsewhere, like PCH, and in other
cases, by employees of other businesses in the area, who want to avoid using up the parking at
their own sites.
The resulting shortage of parking has driven customers away and seriously affected our
businesses.
We are asking the City to designate 17 of those 35 parking spaces as time-timited parking.
Restricting 17 spaces to 2 -hour parking would increase turnover of spaces, allowing our
customers to park and shop in our stores. The rest of the parking spaces— 50% of the total —
will remain long term, unlimited parking.
Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.

The City has received a petition from fourteen (14) local businesses along Old Newport
Boulevard to designate some of the parking spaces in the City parking area on the west side of
Old Newport Boulevard as 2 -Hour parking. Without any time restrictions on parking spaces in
this area, employees and others can park for extended periods of time, which affects the local
businesses. The City is planning to designate 10 spaces in the parking area for 2 -Hour parking,
to provide for a better balance of parking needs along the street.
This item will be included on the City Council Agenda for the May 12, 2015 meeting. If you
would like to provide comments on this matter, you are encouraged to attend the City Council
meeting. If you cannot attend, you can provide comments to me by e-mail or phone. My e-mail

If the City Council approves the 2 -Hour parking at the May 12, 2015 meeting, signs would be
installed approximately 3 weeks later.

phone at (949) 644 -3329. Thank you.
