ORDINANCE NO. 909 AN ORDINANCA OF Tiff: CITY OF NEW.OBT BEAU - - - - -- ADDING SECTION 3295 TO THY. NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELAT- ING TO THE RYCULATION OF TRAFFF'IC - - -- The City Council of the Citv of NreyN oart Beach does ordain , as follows: SECTION 1: Section 32M is cif added to the Newport Beach Nd MinocinAl Code to read:' - ^SECTION 3295. Vehieu- r UI! lar Arrns� to Balboa Island Restricted. la, Findings of j5 I Fact. I The City Council.finds that: 1. Baibna Island is an island in Newport Bay with an area of approximately 130 acres. Said island is subdivided - into . .approxi. mately 1500 separate par- cels. Park and Marine Ave. nues axe the widest streets on Balboa Island, with ap- proximately 40. ft. of paved roadway. The remainder of the streets have approxi. merely 28 ft. of paved roadway. The roadway widths permit only one lane V travel in each direction and are sufficiently narrow as to impair travel and parking. It has become nec- essary to restrict travel to one direction only on many of the streets. The alley width of the perimeter alley is 15 ft Because of exten- sive pedestrihn t-ra.vel, no general vehicular traffic is permitted on said perimeter alley. All other- alleys on Balboa Island are only 10 ft. in width. - 2. Almost every parcel of property on Balboa Island is occupied by single or multiple. residential build - ings'or. by business build - ings. 3. There i.s extremely dense residential occupancy during the school Spring vacations or 'Easter Week', and during the entire Sum- mer season. People gather in large numbers for social and recreational activities during Faster. Week, during. the entire Summer season and on weekends and spe- cial occasions during other periods. . 4. Access to' and exit from Balboa Island by mo- tor vehicle is limited to Marine Avenue, which cross- es a bridge over an arm of Newport Bap, and by a fer- iy across Newport Bay from Balboa. Said bridge is I vvida enmigh fnr one lane of sutmmw one ,ino,, ^aoh d,lectinu. -Sail r• Lan rltsoharg. and I o a d nniv t h,ee (3) autoni "bite; : =t one time. 5. There are no improved publin parking lots on the island. 6. Most romme oiil and many residential premises db not have off- street park- ing facilities for metal* ve- hicles T. Many of the. buildings on the island are of wood construction and have wood siding and wooden shingles on the roof. Most of the buildings are built rinse to the lot lines. These cnndi- tions result in mama wooden s t r it c t nr e s being closely grouped together. During Spring vacation and during the Summer, all such build- ings are densely ecenpied by ve,cstienera. Recause of the mature of constructinn and the close gimping of said buildings, a. fire in one could quickh. spread to ad- joining buildings. 8. During the Spring school vACatinn, during the entire Summer season and on weekends and other Ape - cial occasions, great num- bers of motor ehi,-l" are driven onto the island by nonresident v i s i t o r s for which neither nn- street nor off - street parking facilities are available. At all hours of the day and night during these times, such vehicles Are driven A,tmlessh' around the island on the streets and alleys. Many of them are parked for varying pe- rinds of time on the travel- ed portion of the streets and alleys. Snme are left unattended. The result is that all of the streets anti alleys on the Island are so congested with vehicles that vehicular traffic is stalled for 'long period, of time. t1rivers on the island find 'I-, impossible to drive off, rb'i- vers off the island cannot drive onto the island. emet- gency vehicles including po- lice automobiles, fire trucks, lifer vehicles and Am- bulances have been d' - +vrd far periods un to 41 ,oin- rites in traveling to =nncu- gency calls no the:'Anri.

The City Council fim- ther specifically finds that all possible measures must be taken to sssae police and fire protection and coed• teat and lifeguard services' to persons and property on Balboa Island anri that re stricLing motor vehicle ac- ' cess to 'the island during times of traffic congestion is the most reaso liable method of Assuring such protection and services.
