RECOMMENDATION: Introduce Ordinance No. 2015 -10, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Amending Newport Beach Municipal Code Subsection 12.44.020(F) to add the Northerly Side of West Balboa Boulevard to On- Street Parking Meter Zone 6, and pass to second reading on April 28, 2015. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: If Council approves this item, the City would purchase four (4) pay stations to install along West Balboa Blvd. between 15th St. and 18th St. Sufficient funding is available for the purchase - $37,228.46 from budget number 6180 -9050. The cost of installation will be approximately $13,000, also from budget number 6180 -9050. These pay stations would also serve the other Marina Park parking lots when Marina Park opens. Staff estimates that the revenue from these new parking spaces would be approximately $43,000 /year. DISCUSSION: Background The Marina Park Project ( "Marina Park "), consisting of a multi - purpose building, sailing program building, Girl Scout Leadership Center, restaurant, open space park, fitness equipment, children's play area, instructional sailing basin, and transient marina, is scheduled to open at the end of this year. In addition to the general public use of the open space park and play area, Marina Park will host Recreation classes, special events, restaurant visitors, short-term overnight slip rentals, and Girl Scout Leadership Center overnight sleepovers. 26 -1 In order to meet visitor parking requirements, three (3) pay parking lots will be available within Marina Park and there will continue to be on- street pay parking at W. Bay Avenue, the W. Balboa Blvd. center median and 15th St. Staff recommends adding the northerly side of W. Balboa Blvd., between 15th and 18th St., to the on- street parking meter zone as well to ensure parking availability. Newport Beach Municipal Code ( "NBMC ") Chapter 12.44.020 establishes the on- street parking meter zones in the City. Staff recommends revising NBMC Chapter 12.44.020 to add the northerly side of W. Balboa Boulevard between 15th Street and 18th Street to Parking Zone 6, which would add approximately forty -eight (48) spaces to the parking inventory. Previously, that lane was a seasonal through -lane for traffic exiting the peninsula during the summer months, and was changed to a full -time parking lane before construction began on Marina Park. Four (4) pay stations will be installed along the northerly side of W. Balboa Boulevard to accept customer cash or credit card payment. Customers may also pay at any of the pay stations within Marina Park (once it opens) or use pay -by- phone. If Council approves this item, the parking meter fee shall be $1.50 /hour pursuant to NBMC Chapter 12.44.040(G), from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which is consistent with surrounding on- street metered parking. Annual and master parking permit parking would also be allowed at this location. These pay stations would also serve the Marina Park parking lots when they open. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060 (c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378), and categorically exempt pursuant to Sections 15303 (Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures - installation of small new equipment) and 15311 (Class 11, Accessory Structures — construction or placement of minor structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.
