City Clerk Brown announced that donations will be accepted in the City Clerk's Office and OASIS Senior Center from November 23 to December 20, 2018. SS3. Sidewalk Vendor Ordinance PF Community Development Director Jurjis, Associate Planner Zdeba and License Supervisor Navarette utilized a PowerPoint presentation to explain what a sidewalk vendor is and current City prohibitions, discuss Senate Bill 946, list what the State allows cities to regulate, highlight proposed Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) Section 5.97, discuss the permit requirement, permitted hours, prohibited locations and the reasons the locations are prohibited, highlight distancing restrictions and park restrictions, and discuss enforcement, penalties and the appeal process. City Attorney Harp reported on why the Lifeguard Headquarters has a distancing restriction. In response to Council questions, Community Development Director Jurjis, Associate Planner Zdeba, and City Attorney Harp confirmed the permitted vending hours in residential areas matches allowed solicitation hours, vending is not permitted on beaches, and the Police Department could respond to any weekends calls; highlighted the maximum allowed cart dimensions, discussed sound regulations, the number of vendors per cart, requirement to display the vendor permit and separation of 100 feet between vendors, and limitations on what is allowed to be sold; discussed the January 1, 2019 deadline; noted residential areas will most likely only have roaming vendors, not stationary vendors; and highlighted the proposed permit revocation process. Volume 63 - Page 631 City of Newport Beach Study Session Regular Meeting November 13, 2018 City Attorney Harp indicated that the hours of solicitation and vending can be revisited at a future meeting. Further, there is no urgency to adopt the ordinance, but if the ordinance is not in effect on January 1, 2019, the City would not have any regulations in place. He also explained the difference between the permit process and requiring a business license. Discussion ensued relative to using "boardwalk" to describe the walkways around Balboa Island and the ocean walk on Balboa Peninsula. Community Development Director Jurjis reported that drafting the proposed ordinance involved almost every department in the City. He thanked Associate Planner Zdeba, License Supervisor Navarette, the Public Works Department, and the City Attorney's Office for their assistance. City Attorney Harp indicated the Senate Bill came about due to how the City of Los Angeles was interacting with street vendors. Jim Mosher noted the Coastal Land Use Plan refers to the Balboa Island walkway as the Bayfront boardwalk, believed the list of parks is incomplete and inaccurate, took issue that the ordinance was drafted without Council or public input, is not sure staff's interpretation of SB 946 is correct, believed beaches are pathways, questioned the reason for not allowing vendors at the Civic Center, believed specifying a maximum cart dimension is restrictive, and noted Los Angeles' ordinance is different than the draft ordinance. David Tanner discussed vendors in Ensenada and believed tVity could learn from them and how the new ordinance could impact residential areas. r Unidentified speaker/Balboa Village business owner expressed concerns for the businesses and pedestrian traffic if vendors were allowed on Edgewater Place, questioned the vendors use of electricity or generators, noted vendors do not pay rent, and believed vendors should be prohibited from the Fun Zone area. In response to public comments, City Attorney Harp reported vendors are prohibited from the Civic Center campus since it houses the Fire Department's Headquarters, their equipment, and the Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Regarding the concern about electricity, he noted vendors are prohibited from using City or private outlets. Council Member Avery indicated he does not feel like he was not involved or is not setting policy, and assured everyone this can be tailored later, if needed. Associate Planner Zdeba noted vendors are prohibited from being 25 feet from business entrances due to ingress/egress and for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access. SS4. Accessory Dwelling Units Out of an abundance of caution, Council Member Avery recused himself due to real property interests that may in the future be subject to an Accessory Dwelling Unit (AD U). Community Development Director Jurjis and Senior Planner Murillo, utilizing a PowerPoint presentation, described conversion and new construction ADUs, changes in State law, reasons to adopt an ordinance, conversion standards, properties eligible for conversions, new construction standards and restrictions on the types of changes that can be made by cities; discussed limitations due to bus lines and lot size restrictions; displayed maps of ADUs by Council District; explained why 5,000 square foot lots were used; and reviewed the nine applications received thus far to build ADUs, what other cities are doing, the City's Zoning Code (Title 20) and Local Coastal Program (Title 21), and recommendations. In response to Council Member Dixon's questions, Senior Planner Murillo confirmed ADU requirements would not affect homeowner associations if they are governed by Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). He also reviewed the ADU restriction near public transit and displayed a map of how that would affect the Peninsula. Volume 63 - Page 632 City of Newport Beach Study Session Regular Meeting November 13, 2018 Jim Mosher remarked that CC&Rs and HOAs are not the same, the City is unable to enforce CC&R issues and believed this should be clarified in the presentation, and questioned the introduction or reintroduction of the ordinance with California Coastal Committee (CCC) modifications. David Tanner discussed AB 494, SB 2299 and the proposed ordinance, indicated he is not in support of these bills but supports the proposed ordinance, and questioned how this is going to impact the health and safety of the community. In response to Mayor Pro Tem O'Neill's question, Senior Planner Murillo explained this issue would involve two ordinances, one dealing with zoning codes and one with approved modifications from the CCC. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS Jim Mosher discussed his concerns regarding Item IV.B and a letter sent to the City from California River Watch, and requested Council reconsider Ordinance No. 2018-18.
