PROJECT: City Arts Commission Request to Review Balboa Peninsula
Sign Program
SUGGESTED
ACTION: Refer Sign Program to the City Arts Commission
1'
Direct Staff to Return Sign Program Directly to the City
Council
The chair of the City Arts Commission sent the attached letter after the City Council's discussion
of a sign program for the Balboa Peninsula, requesting that the Commission have an opportunity
to provide input.
The Newport Beach Charter includes the following in the list of the Commissions powers and
duties:
(a) Act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to
artistic, aesthetic and cultural aspects of the City.
Because the Charter is not specific as to matters on which the Commission should advise the
Council, and because it does not require Commission review of public signs, staff is presenting
this request to the City Council for direction.

At the December 14 City Council meeting, the Councilmembers approved manufacturing and installing
one pole and concrete monument sign as a prototype for those to be placed on the peninsula. It is our
understanding that the issue will come back to the council for a final decision some time next month.
The Arts Commission would appreciate having the opportunity to give input into the public sign program,
as one of the goals of the program is to improve the aesthetics of the area, and to provide aesthetic
consistency.
Please call Roberta Jorgensen, who will be working with you on the new regulations (949- 851- 0780), or
me (714 -556 -2122 ext. 248) at your earliest convenience so that we may coordinate our efforts. Thank
you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Pat Brubaker
Chair, Newport Beach Arts Commission
