TITLE: Waterfront Project Guidelines and Standards — Harbor Design
Criteria, Commercial & Residential Facilities: Approve Revised
Standards
ABSTRACT:
Proposed updates to the City's Waterfront Project Guidelines and Standards — Harbor
Design Criteria, Commercial & Residential Facilities ("Harbor Design Standards") have
been made for the City Council's consideration to correct various inconsistencies as well
as to make overall improvements to the current 2008 version.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
Alternatively, determine this action is not a project under CEQA Regulation Section
15061(b)(3) because it has no potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment;
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2017-22, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Amending the City's Waterfront Project Guidelines and Standards,
Harbor Design Criteria — Commercial and Residential Facilities; and
c) Introduce Ordinance No. 2017-8, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of
Newport Beach, California, Deleting Newport Beach Municipal Code Subsection
17.01.030(A)(2) and Amending Newport Beach Municipal Code Subsections
17.01.030(D)(1), 17.35.010(A), 17.50.040(A) and 17.50.050(D) relating to the City's

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
In mid -2014, staff began revising and updating the Harbor Design Standards that were
last reviewed/modified in 2008. Based on feedback from the community, design
engineers, plan check engineers, contractors, dock manufacturers and dock owners,
minor errors and inconsistencies were identified which were affecting the permitting
process. This updated version addresses these concerns by making the Harbor Design
Standards less stringent while streamlining the permit process.
In addition, City Council Members provided feedback and requested consideration be
given to accommodate for various differences is design criteria such as current, wind load
and wave height at different locations within the harbor as they relate to the structural
requirements during the permitting process. For example, a dock in the West Newport
area would not be affected by wind, waves or current in the same way as a dock near the
harbor entrance channel would be affected. Therefore, the applicant's design engineer
could submit plans specific to different expected conditions within areas of the harbor
based on structural calculations and professional opinion which will eliminate some over -
design conditions and reduce cost.
The Harbor Commission reviewed and commented on these updated Harbor Design
Standards in February 2017 and recommended they be approved by the City Council.
Please see the attached redline document - major changes are summarized below:
1. Language incorporated from the California Building Code which allows the
applicant to apply for a modification or alternative material in the design.
2. Revised dock widths to match the "California Layout and Design Guidelines for
Marina Berthing Facilities."
3. Revised load combination for float design.
4. Decreased dock live -load to match "California Layout and Design Guidelines for
Marina Berthing Facilities."
5. Clarified dock freeboard requirements using Figure 13 and 14.
6. Decreased pile cutoff elevation from +13 MLLW to +12 MLLW.
7. Standardized pile penetration to a minimum of 15 feet.
8. Increased minimum seawall height from +9 MLLW to +10 MLLW.
9. Updated Figure 11 Case 12: No shared fairway between properties.

I. WATERSIDE DEVELOPMENT
The limits and constraints of construction in the harbor are defined by a series of lines that have
been established over time by the Federal Government, as well as the City of Newport Beach.
These lines have been defined in Chapter 17.01 of the Municipal Code. Prior to the preparation
of documents to be submitted to the City of Newport Beach for review of a proposed project,
the applicant should obtain a full understanding of these lines and have a qualified engineer,
surveyor or contractor define these lines on any plans submitted for a proposed project. These
lines include the existing or current edge of construction along the waterfront with respect to
the Federal Bulkhead, Pierhead and Project Lines, Channel lines, Property lines (and their
projections), Anchorage Area, and Turning Basins.
A. DOCKS
1. ALTERNATIVE BERTHING GEOMETRIES
Various berthing geometries are available and acceptable for the berthing of
boats for a docking facility. The following figures present the generalized
arrangements that are considered acceptable to the City of Newport Beach for
the safe mooring of boats. The attached figures and "Case" geometries can be
utilized as shown, or in combination with one another, in an overall marina dock
scheme.
2. LAYOUT AND DESIGN (Commercial & Residential)

(3) See the attached Harbor Standard Drawings for plans, sections
and details of typical conditions for vessel moorings and docks,
gangways, platforms, seawalls, and beach profiles. These
Standards are to be considered minimum requirements for the
cases represented and, at the City of Newport Beach r
discretion, may not apply
to the specific project submitted. The City of Newport Beach
Building reserves the right to mandate deviation
from the Standards, if particular project conditions require special
consideration.
b. Slip and Boat Overhang into Adjacent Fairways:
(1) Berths shall not be occupied by vessels more than 3 feet longer
than the berth or slip, or in the case of fairways with a 1.75 x Lb
width, not more than 10% of the length of the finger.
(2) For berths either parallel or perpendicular to a main channel,
vessels can extend beyond the limits of the slip by as much as the
beam of the boat.
C. Finger and Walkway Widths:
(1) Minimum finger widths for recreational commercial and
residential docks shall be per Table No. 1.
(2) Fillets at the connection of walkways to fingers shall not have
less than a 4 -foot side.
(3) Outer end (end tie) and side -tie fingers shall be a minimum of
one foot wider than the minimal widths for all other adjacent
finger docks.
(4) Residential Headwalks and Mainwalks:
(a) Minimum residential headwalk widths shall be no less
than 6 feet for dock lengths up to 8.0-120 feet in total
length, and 8 feet wide for dock lengths of more than 80
120 feet.
(5) Commercial Headwalks and Mainwalks:
(a) Minimum widths shall be no less than 6 feet for dock
lengths up to 120 feet in total length, and 8 feet wide for

(z) Minimum 5'-0 " widths are required for the entire path of travel for
ADA access, including paths along main- and headwalks.
d. Single and Double -Wide Slips:
(1) Single -wide slips are those slips that have a finger on each side of
the boat. Double -wide slips have only one finger adjacent to any
given boat.
e. Vessel "Rafting":
(1) Vessel "rafting" is the practice of connecting multiple vessels
together, with only one of the vessels being tied/berthed to a
walkway or finger. Rafting of vessels is not allowed, unless
specifically approved by the Harbor Resources Division and/or
the Fire Department for special facilities and/or events.
f. Long Docks:
(1) Long docks are defined as side -tie docks with more than one boat
berthed. Unless specifically identified otherwise, and for the
purpose of establishing the number of boats that may utilize a
N.
3-14
long dock per State of California Department of Boating and
Waterways Guidelines, it will be assumed that one boat is
berthed alongside a long dock every 40 feet of long dock length.
This would relate to a 30 -ft berthed boat, with 5 feet of clearance
on either end. Distance between two adjacent boats shall be
minimum 10 feet.
g. Loading Criteria:
(1) The design of the dock system shall incorporate all anticipated
dead and live loads.
(a) Dead Loads: Dead loads shall include the weight of the
dock system components (walers, bracing, bracket, etc.)
which are permanently incorporated into the dock system,
and non -dock system components (transformers,
gangways, dinghy racks, trash containers, buildings, etc.)
which are permanently affixed to the dock system.
(b) Live Loads: Live loads are temporary, transient loads
imposed in the ordinary use of the dock system, such as
people, carts, mobile equipment, wave loadings, wind
loads, impact loads, etc. The dock system shall be
capable of supporting live loads and freeboards per
"Flotation and Freeboards". The structure shall also be
capable of supporting a 400 -pound moving point load
anywhere on the deck surface, but no closer than 12"
from any dock edge, while maintaining the level
tolerances cited in this guideline.
(c) Wildlife Loads: Refer to "Layout and Design Guidelines
for Marina Berthing Facilities". "Design & Guidelines � r
(2) Wind loads shall be calculated both parallel to and perpendicular
to maximum length of vessels and structures in accordance to
current California Building Code.
(a) Wind load on the lateral area of vessels or structures shall
not be less than 15 pounds per square foot acting on the
projected area of the docks as well as the profile area -
"sail area" of the berthed vessels above water level.
(b) Lateral area of vessels for wind load calculations acting
on the "sail area" of the vessel shall be as per Graph No.

3-15
1, or the actual sail area of the anticipated vessel,
whichever is greater.
(c) Ten percent (10%) of the full wind load for an unshielded
vessel shall be applied to each vessel in the leeward side
of the unshielded vessel.

(3) Current Loading: Floating docks in areas of the harbor may be
subject to current loads.
Mar-ine Depaftment for- these lac-utions and potential veloeities.
Dock shall be designed for minimum current velocity of 1
feet/sec-
(4) Impact Loading: Impact Load from design vessel (maximum boat
size that may be moored on the dock,) striking dock at 10 degree
angle (from parallel to dock)with approach speed of minimum 1
feet sec_
(5) Wave Loading: A simple wave analysis was conducted to
providee�guidance of a 100 -year return period wind waves
and ocean swells at Newport Harbor. In general, the majority of
Newport Harbor is dominated by wind waves except for the areas
near the harbor entrance which are dominated by Ocean Swells.
Contact the City of Newport Beach, Harbor Resources for details
of reference studv.
A qualified civil engineer, licensed in the State of California,
shall conduct site-specific engineering analysis to evaluate the
qppropriate design wave loading for the project.
(66,) Load Combinations:
(a) Combined load cases for design of docks shall include the
following:
1) Dead load plus uniform live load
2) Dead load plus concentrated 400-1b live load.
in the ADA path of travel, a 650 lb point live lead shall
be used

3-16
3) Dead load plus wind load plus current & wave
loads., plus impaet leads.
4) Dead load plus impact load.
(b) Fabrication, handling and lifting loads shall also be
checked in the calculation of the dock system.
(c) A 1/3 increase in allowable stresses can be used when in
combination with either wind, current, wave or impact
loads. For all wood stresses, the allowable stress shall be
reduced in accordance with the California Building Code
for wet conditions, and then the 1/3 increase in allowable
stress applied.
(d) Calculations shall include the transfer of forces from the
dock system into the piles. All components within this
transfer mechanism shall be substantiated.

HARBOR DESIGN CRITERIA
GENERAL
The construction of harbor facilities shall accommodate the need for safety and durability as
well as convenience and appearance. Structural elements of the docks, floats, gangways, piles,
etc., shall be adequate to safeguard human life, boats, and boating equipment. Boat berthing
facilities shall be designed to adequately handle anticipated loads with reasonable factor of
safety as deemed appropriate by the City of Newport. Materials of construction shall resist the
corrosion of saltwater in order to assure low maintenance requirements and long life of the
facility. Floats shall be designed to assure stability and buoyancy for safe operations.
Adequate utilities meeting all requirements of the current, applicable codes, shall be provided
for the convenience and safety of boaters and maintenance workers.
Harbor Permits and Plan Check shall be as per the Title 17 of the City of Newport Beach
Municipal Code and Council Policy H-1.
Dock systems shall be designed by a civil or structural engineer, licensed by the State of
California, who is experienced in the design of marine structures. Repairs and non-structural
modifications to existing residential docks can be designed by a contractor experienced in dock
facilities, at the discretion of the City of Newport Beach.
In accordance to California Building Code [A] 104.10 Modifications. "Wherever there are
practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this code, the building official
shall have the authority to grant modifications for individual cases, upon application of the
owner or owner's representative, provided the building official shall first find that special
individual reason makes the strict letter of this code impractical and the modification is in
compliance with the intent and purpose of this code and that such modification does not lessen
health, accessibility, life and fire safety, or structural requirements. The details of action
granting modifications shall be recorded and entered in the files of the department of building
safety"
In accordance to California Building Code [A] 104.11 Alternative materials, design and
methods of construction and equipment. "The provisions of this code are not intended to
prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any design or method of construction not
specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. An
alternative material, design or method of construction shall be approved where the building
official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the
provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose
intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this code in quality, strength,
effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety.
3-50
I. WATERSIDE DEVELOPMENT
The limits and constraints of construction in the harbor are defined by a series of lines that have
been established over time by the Federal Government, as well as the City of Newport Beach.
These lines have been defined in Chapter 17.01 of the Municipal Code. Prior to the preparation
of documents to be submitted to the City of Newport Beach for review of a proposed project,
the applicant should obtain a full understanding of these lines and have a qualified engineer,
surveyor or contractor define these lines on any plans submitted for a proposed project. These
lines include the existing or current edge of construction along the waterfront with respect to
the Federal Bulkhead, Pierhead and Project Lines, Channel lines, Property lines (and their
projections), Anchorage Area, and Turning Basins.
A. DOCKS
1. ALTERNATIVE BERTHING GEOMETRIES
Various berthing geometries are available and acceptable for the berthing of
boats for a docking facility. The following figures present the generalized
arrangements that are considered acceptable to the City of Newport Beach for
the safe mooring of boats. The attached figures and "Case" geometries can be
utilized as shown, or in combination with one another, in an overall marina dock
scheme.
2. LAYOUT AND DESIGN (Commercial & Residential)
a. General
(1) Layout and design of harbor facilities shall be based upon the use
of the facility defined as follows:
(a) Single or joint residential
(b) Multi -residential
(c) Commercial
1) Passenger
2) Recreational boat marina
(2) "Layout & Design Guidelines for Marina Berthing Facilities",
(2005 edition) published by the State of California Department of
Boating and Waterways, except as modified by the City's harbor
standard drawings within the Design Criteria may be used as a
guide to design harbor structures.
3-51
(3) See the attached Harbor Standard Drawings for plans, sections
and details of typical conditions for vessel moorings and docks,
gangways, platforms, seawalls, and beach profiles. These
Standards are to be considered minimum requirements for the
cases represented and, at the City of Newport Beach discretion,
may not apply to the specific project submitted. The City of
Newport Beach reserves the right to mandate deviation from the
Standards, if particular project conditions require special
consideration.
b. Slip and Boat Overhang into Adjacent Fairways:
(1) Berths shall not be occupied by vessels more than 3 feet longer
than the berth or slip, or in the case of fairways with a 1.75 x Lb
width, not more than 10% of the length of the finger.
(2) For berths either parallel or perpendicular to a main channel,
vessels can extend beyond the limits of the slip by as much as the
beam of the boat.
C. Finger and Walkway Widths:
(1) Minimum finger widths for recreational commercial and
residential docks shall be per Table No. 1.
(2) Fillets at the connection of walkways to fingers shall not have
less than a 4 -foot side.
(3) Outer end (end tie) and side -tie fingers shall be a minimum of
one foot wider than the minimal widths for all other adjacent
finger docks.
(4) Residential Headwalks and Mainwalks:
(a) Minimum residential headwalk widths shall be no less
than 6 feet for dock lengths up to 120 feet in total length,
and 8 feet wide for dock lengths of more than 120 feet.
(5) Commercial Headwalks and Mainwalks:
(a) Minimum widths shall be no less than 6 feet for dock
lengths up to 120 feet in total length, and 8 feet wide for
dock lengths of more than 120 feet. If use of a walkway is
for staging the public while waiting to board a vessel, the
minimum dock width shall be 12 feet.
3-52
(b) At gangways, a minimum of 6 feet of walking surface
shall be maintained in front of the furthermost gangway
projection (including toe plate) at high tide, and have a
minimum of 4 feet of clear space to walk along the side of
any gangway for access to berthed vessels.

(2) Minimum 5'-0" widths are required for the entire path of travel for
ADA access, including paths along main- and headwalks.
d. Single and Double -Wide Slips:
(1) Single -wide slips are those slips that have a finger on each side of
the boat. Double -wide slips have only one finger adjacent to any
given boat.
e. Vessel "Rafting":
(1) Vessel "rafting" is the practice of connecting multiple vessels
together, with only one of the vessels being tied/berthed to a
walkway or finger. Rafting of vessels is not allowed, unless
specifically approved by the Harbor Resources Division and/or
the Fire Department for special facilities and/or events.
f. Long Docks:
(1) Long docks are defined as side -tie docks with more than one boat
berthed. Unless specifically identified otherwise, and for the
purpose of establishing the number of boats that may utilize a
long dock per State of California Department of Boating and
Waterways Guidelines, it will be assumed that one boat is
berthed alongside a long dock every 40 feet of long dock length.
This would relate to a 30 -ft berthed boat, with 5 feet of clearance
3-53
on either end. Distance between two adjacent boats shall be
minimum 10 feet.
g. Loading Criteria:
(1) The design of the dock system shall incorporate all anticipated
dead and live loads.
(a) Dead Loads: Dead loads shall include the weight of the
dock system components (walers, bracing, bracket, etc.)
which are permanently incorporated into the dock system,
and non -dock system components (transformers,
gangways, dinghy racks, trash containers, buildings, etc.)
which are permanently affixed to the dock system.
(b) Live Loads: Live loads are temporary, transient loads
imposed in the ordinary use of the dock system, such as
people, carts, mobile equipment, wave loadings, wind
loads, impact loads, etc. The dock system shall be
capable of supporting live loads and freeboards per
"Flotation and Freeboards". The structure shall also be
capable of supporting a 400 -pound moving point load
anywhere on the deck surface, but no closer than 12"
from any dock edge, while maintaining the level
tolerances cited in this guideline.
(c) Wildlife Loads: Refer to "Layout and Design Guidelines
for Marina Berthing Facilities".
(2) Wind loads shall be calculated both parallel to and perpendicular
to maximum length of vessels and structures in accordance to
current California Building Code.
(a) Wind load on the lateral area of vessels or structures shall
not be less than 15 pounds per square foot acting on the
projected area of the docks as well as the profile area -
"sail area" of the berthed vessels above water level.
(b) Lateral area of vessels for wind load calculations acting
on the "sail area" of the vessel shall be as per Graph No.
1, or the actual sail area of the anticipated vessel,
whichever is greater.
(c) Ten percent (10%) of the full wind load for an unshielded
vessel shall be applied to each vessel in the leeward side
of the unshielded vessel.
3-54
(3) Current Loading: Floating docks in areas of the harbor may be
subject to current loads. Dock shall be designed for minimum
current velocity of 1 feet/sec.
(4) Impact Loading: Impact Load from design vessel (maximum boat
size that may be moored on the dock) striking dock at 10 degree
angle (from parallel to dock) with approach speed of minimum 1
feet/sec.
(5) Wave Loading: A simple wave analysis was conducted to
provide general guidance of a 100 -year return period wind waves
and ocean swells at Newport Harbor. In general, the majority of
Newport Harbor is dominated by wind waves except for the areas
near the harbor entrance which are dominated by Ocean Swells.
Contact the City of Newport Beach, Harbor Resources for details
of reference study.
A qualified civil engineer, licensed in the State of California,
shall conduct site-specific engineering analysis to evaluate the
appropriate design wave loading for the project.
(6) Load Combinations:
(a) Combined load cases for design of docks shall include the
following:
1) Dead load plus uniform live load
2) Dead load plus concentrated 400-1b live load.
3) Dead load plus wind load plus current & wave
loads.
4) Dead load plus impact load.
(b) Fabrication, handling and lifting loads shall also be
checked in the calculation of the dock system.
(c) A 1/3 increase in allowable stresses can be used when in
combination with either wind, current, wave or impact
loads. For all wood stresses, the allowable stress shall be
reduced in accordance with the California Building Code
for wet conditions, and then the 1/3 increase in allowable
stress applied.
(d) Calculations shall include the transfer of forces from the
dock system into the piles. All components within this
transfer mechanism shall be substantiated.

supplies, cargo, etc. such as docks used for ferries, charter
boats, fishing boats, boat shows, shuttles, water taxis, etc.)
shall be designed for a live load of 40 pounds per square
foot.
Commercial Docks, as described above, which are also
used for the staging of passengers, or heavy loads, shall
be designed for live load of 65 pounds per square foot.
Signage indicating maximum number of people (using
occupant load factor 200 pounds/person) that may be
staged (Dock Staging Capacity) shall be posted at a
prominent location at staging area.
Exception 1: Docks whose functionality requires dead
load freeboard less than 14 inches (docks used for kayaks,
rowboat, etc.) shall be designed for 25 pounds per square
foot live load. These special docks shall be exempt from
the freeboard requirement on "Floatation and Freeboard
Section h.1". Signage indicating maximum number of
people (using occupant load factor = 200 pounds/person)
that may use the dock (Dock Capacity) shall be posted at
a prominent location.
3-57
Exception 2: Repair or Modification to less than 50% of
an Existing Dock is exempt from the freeboard
requirement on "Floatation and Freeboard Section h.l".
However, Engineer of Record shall perform freeboard
calculation, to provide sufficient floatation under repaired
or modified portion of dock section, to match freeboard of
existing dock and support minimum live load of 25
pounds per square foot.
C) Weight of seawater, for the purposes of flotation
calculations, shall be 64 pounds per cubic foot.
(2) The flotation shall use a rigid block of expanded polystyrene
(EPS) cores or equivalent. The use of hollow pontoons shall not
be allowed.
(3) Docks shall have pontoons composed of outer shells of either
concrete (1" minimum thickness) or an ultra -violet stable plastic
such as fiberglass or cross-linked polyethylene (1/8" minimum
thickness). Other alternative materials must be submitted to the
City for review and approval, per the "Request for Alternate
Material or Method of Construction" appeals process. Exposed
foam flotation is not allowed.
(4) Residential Docks: In addition to the pontoon encapsulation
types noted above, residential docks may also use spray -on
elastomeric encapsulation systems for pontoons. Spray -on
products must demonstrate resistance to ultra -violet rays, solvents
that may be present on the water surface, and environmental
conditions imposed by saltwater contact. Minimum spray -on
product thickness shall be 100 mils.
Static Floating Tolerances:
(1) The dock surface of the in-place dock system, which includes
finger floats and walkways, under various loading conditions,
shall be level within the following tolerances:
Under Dead Load Only, &
Under Dead and Live Loads:
Under Dead and Point Live Loads:
1/4" per foot, 1" maximum
(transverse)
1/8" per foot, 1" in 10 feet
maximum (longitudinal)
'/2" per foot (4%), 2"
maximum (transverse)
3-58
I/4" per foot, 2" in 10 feet

Loading Conditions: 2% maximum (transverse)
(2) Under Dead Load Only conditions, the free ends of finger floats
shall always float level or higher than the finger float ends
connected to the head or mainwalk, within the limits noted above.
j. Torsional Resistance Requirements:
(1) General: Fingers, connected walkways, and flee -standing
headwalks unattached to other dock elements must be designed to
provide dock stability and resistance to torsional loads. Torsion
bars installed in fingers, and/or dock framing construction that
provides for calculated and verifiable twist resistance, is required.
Free-standing headwalks need not provide independent means of
torsional resistance if the width of headwalk is 8 feet or more.
Alternative means of providing torsional resistance to fingers and
main- or headwalks may be considered by the City of Newport
Beach. Methods such as twist -controlling guide roller assemblies
may be considered, if acceptable twist resistance can be proved.
k. Guide Piles:
(1) Dock system pilings shall be designed by an Engineer, licensed
by the State of California, who shall have demonstrated expertise
in the design of marine structures. Pile loading calculations shall
be provided based on a soils investigation by a licensed
geotechnical engineer, or based on minimum code values for soil

licensed engineer after piles have been driven, to confirm that the
piles can withstand the design loads anticipated. Testing
procedures must be approved by the City prior to
commencement.
(2) Soil conditions in Newport Harbor can vary depending on the
existence of rock strata near historic bluffs along the coastline.
The Applicant is advised to research the soils conditions of the
subject site in order to properly assess the conditions for pile
stability and installation.
