SUBJECT: VEHICLE CODE ENFORCEMENT IN NEWPORT RIDGE NORTH
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 12.66 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
to apply provisions of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) to private roads in the Newport
Ridge North neighborhood; and pass to second reading on October 23, 2007.
DISCUSSION:
In July 2006, a traffic engineering firm hired by the Newport Ridge North Community
Association (Association) completed a traffic study reviewing existing speed limits,
intersection controls, crosswalks, and other traffic considerations within the community.
In October 2006, the Association requested approval of California Vehicle Code
Enforcement in their community. The Public Works Department communicated to the
Association that they would need to provide a traffic signing and striping plan before its
request could be approved. This requirement was necessary because there are
currently no approved traffic plans for the development. In addition, the Association
had previously installed various non - standard striping and signing improvements. To
approve the request, specific traffic signs would need to be removed, and additional
striping installed. The professional traffic engineering firm hired by the Association
prepared the plans. The Public Works Department has approved the submitted plans
and recommends approval of the Association's request for CVC enforcement.
Environmental Review:
Categorically Exempt under Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1(c) of Title 14,
California Code of Regulations. This exemption is for the operation of existing facilities.
