20. ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO GROUP RESIDENTIAL USES AND REPEALING THE TEMPORARY
MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF NEW
RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE TRANSITORY IN NATURE. [100 -20081
Assistant City Manager Kiff provided a PowerPoint presentation that included the summary
of actions to date, how the process will work, suggested changes, the timeline and the
proposed new language for Section 20.91A.060.D3 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
James Markman, Special Legal Counsel, stated that the proposed new language for Section
20.91A.060.D3 is a standard of guidance for the Hearing Officer and the proposed Ordinance
gives a clearer understanding of "concentration ".
Michael Tidus addressed specific provisions of the ordinance, particularly the 1000 foot
guideline, and read Federal and State guidelines pertaining to over concentration. He
stated that residential group homes will and have impacted the Peninsula, and recovering
alcoholics should not be recovering near bars. He suggested that an accurate bed count be
conducted and expressed concern that the ordinance does not address the over concentration
of group homes in Newport Beach.
Denys Oberman, Concerned Citizens of Newport Beach (CCNB), requested that the 1000
foot separation be considered and there be a dispersement of group homes. She believed
that the 90 day period to apply for a use permit is excessive and that 30 days is adequate.
She provided suggestions for the Hearing Officer's qualifications and requested that Mr.
Markman be retained for a two year contract. She expressed appreciation to Council
for their efforts but indicated that standards and a commitment to enforcement is needed.
Edward Dilks, Attorney for Sober Living by the Sea (SLBTS), noted corrections to the letter
he presented tonight. He stated that, according to the Fair Housing Act, the City does not
have the authority to deal with over concentration. He encouraged the City to use code
enforcement instead of a global solution that may be illegal. He stated that SLBTS has an
extensive relationship program and spends $1 million in the City.
Bob Rush indicated, that the ordinance will entail a long procedure and suggested hiring Mr.
Markman as the Hearing Officer.
Max Liskin believed that Council has worked hard and that SLBTS' outreach is not for the
community.
John McGregor stated that there are six group homes in Santa Ana Heights and, as a safety
officer, he responds to them all the time.
Craig Batley stated that Ordinance No. 200416 did not prohibit new group homes in
Newport Beach and now there are 600 to 1000 beds. He expressed concern about the
ordinance's ability to keep everything under control. He noted that the group homes are
advertising its facilities as vacation rehabilitation destinations.
Robert Hawley and Cary Lowe addressed Council about their office building at 3355 Via
Lido which will be affected by the ordinance.
Ted Bosley expressed concern with the actions of group home facilities and how they
operate.
Latina Ginegar believed that the community is ruined by group homes and expressed
support for the ordinance. She noted that the residents have a right to take back their City
Volume 58 - Page 368

City Council Minutes

and asked Council for help.
Nikki Rep stated that it is important to have standards and believed that the 1000 foot
separation is reasonable.
Laura Curran clarified her concerns about parking restrictions and asked that there be no
grandfathering of nonconforming uses. She indicated that the term "adequate parking"
needs to be clarified.
Moustafah Solamez believed that the language in the ordinance is vague and code
enforcement is weak and inadequate.
Dick Nichols urged Council to adopt the ordinance as part of the municipal code and stated
that the California Code of Regulations (CCR) and the Health and Safety Codes call out for
licensing of 24 hour non - residential medical facilities.
Allan Beek, Secretary of SPON, indicated that group homes issues are not only a concern for
the waterfront communities, but the entire City.
David Diamond indicated that the new ordinance should include the 1000 foot separation.
He questioned the methods to extend the period before abatement and why there is a non-
abatement period of 10 years in non - residential areas.
Willis Longyear stated that there is no information about abatement of existing facilities in
the ordinance. He stated that 80% of the group homes are non - licensed facilities and asked
that the granting of licenses be contingent upon conditions. He also believed that there
should be a no grandfathering clause and that non - licensed facilities be abated in 30 days.
Cynthia Koller questioned why alternative sentencing was not addressed in the ordinance.
.She stated that she made numerous attempts to get a non - licensed group home removed
from her . community. She opposed the ordinance and expressed
her displeasure with Council Member Henn.
Lori Morris asked about the Hearing Officer's salary, who will pay the salary, and about the
qualifications. She believed that a vote may be needed. She questioned if other cities have
this type of ordinance in place and emphasized that relief is needed now. She urged Council
to enact set standards.
Coran Gibson expressed concern about the distance between facilities and asked if group
homes need a medical licensed doctor on site.
Doloris Otting read and presented Section 10.505 of the Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP)
and believed that enforcement could be better. She requested that the City work with
legislation. She indicated that the ordinance grandfathers group homes and believed that
45 days to apply for a license is adequate.
Ed Vandenbosch referenced Attachment B and suggested including subjective criteria for
the Hearing Officer and an accounting firm.
Ken Kuhlmann believed that the Police Department has different policies for rehabilitation
home calls and are not properly reporting the calls.
Louise Fundenberg expressed gratitude to Council for the ordinance.
Josh Asking clarified that 3355 Via Lido is not a group home and is strictly a commercial

office building.
Jim Miller stated that school children have to walk passed the group homes and Northern
California parolees are being sent to this City.
Darlene Kulhmann stated that, if homes are used for disabled residents, they should be
properly equipped.
Jan Vandersloot expressed concern about group homes and encouraged Council to include
the 1000 foot separation since the language would allow too much concentration of group
homes in the community.
David Mishagan questioned the role of the Hearing Officer when enforcing secondhand
smoke and the term "changing neighborhood character ". He asked Council if a community
can petition against a group home.
Assistant City Manager Kiff and Special Counsel Markman stated that the Hearing Officer
can't make arbitrary decisions on the parking situation but can deny or condition a
facility to provide offstreet parking. They informed residents that the American Planning
Association (APA) has standards and that these standards were first brought up by the
CCNB last year. They indicated that the 1000 foot separation doesn't have any written
information to back it. They indicated that, if a group home violates the moratorium, they
are not eligible to receive a license and the license can be revoked if misused.
They indicated that it is not illegal to operate an unlicensed facility, as long as they do not
provide care. They also explained that Council Member Rasansky would have to abstain
from voting on the ordinance if there was a rezoning issue. They stated that qualifications
for the Hearing Officer will be brought back as a Council Policy and the recovery of costs will
be decided by Council, not by the ordinance. Mr. Markman suggested that the City pay the
Hearing Officer's salary. He stated that residential facilities are not required to
accommodate wheelchairs unless the person residing there is disabled, the ordinance can be
validated, and the issues can be dealt with on an administrative level. He noted that the
abatement extension has been in the ordinances and that 90 days for the application period
is a rational and reasonable amount of time.
Council Member Henn indicated that he has spent a lot of time on group homes issues in
order to achieve the best possible resolution and - acknowledged the adverse impacts of the
existing group homes. He emphasized that the intent of the ordinance is to reclaim the City
back and pointed out that the ordinance is a groundbreaking response to the group homes
issue.
Council Member Curry commended Council Member Henn on his tenacity. He stated that
he walked the neighborhoods and agreed that the 2004 ordinance did not help control the
amount of group homes in the City. He wished that the facilities and residents can come to
a resolution and commended the residents for their diligence.
Motion by Council Member Gardner to a) introduce Ordinance No. 2008 -5 relating to
Group Residential Uses and the repeal of the Temporary Moratorium on New Residential
Uses that are Transitory in Nature; b) revising Section 20.91A.060.D3 to add the calculable
median and average block lengths in Newport Beach; c) deleting a diagram that describes a

reading on Tuesday January 22, 2008; and f) bring back a Council Policy on Tuesday,
