RE: Modifications to Section 7.04.050
Prohibition of Dogs in Carroll Beek Park
P
DATE: June 26, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The Newport Beach Municipal Code currently prohibits dogs on piers and on school
property. Council Member Bromberg has suggested that dogs also be prohibited in
Carroll Beek Park. Carroll Beek Park is a relatively small park located on the west side of
Agate Ave between just north of South Bayfront. The majority of Carroll Beek Park is
improved with a heavily used basketball court and community center with very little in the
way of grass or vegetation. Dog feces present a potential health and safety problem
given the size and nature of Carroll Beek Park. Staff has prepared an ordinance that
prohibits dogs in Carroll Beek Park with the standard exception for guide dogs.
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce the proposed ordinance amending Section 7.04.050 and pass the ordinance to
July 1p, 2001 for second reading and adoption.
