Dear Honorable City Council, City Manager and City Staff,
I hope all is well. I will start off with a reminder of one weekend on Newport Island pre-Covid-19. Please see the
attached pictures and prior email below. I have a lot more pictures and video of other Newport Island STR issues if
anyone would like to request.
Next Tuesday is a big day for Newport Island and other neighborhoods that are negatively impacted by Short Term
Rental businesses that are being run out of our neighborhoods. It is a time for the Newport Beach City Council and the
City of Newport Beach to take responsibility for issuing STL permits on Newport Island which is a residential Island
regardless of what the current zoning states or how the STR permits are currently issued or enforced. That is another
entirely connected Newport Beach planning issue. You can't run a business without policies, rules, regulations and
enforcement which could include closure. There are over 100 plus homes on Newport Island and less than 30 lots listed
as duplexes. Out of the less that 30 lots some are utilized as single family homes. Newport Island is a true residential
Island that is different than other neighborhoods that are mostly duplexes with some single family houses. We did not
have a STL problem or awareness until they showed up next door and around the Island which have two addresses. Two
or three prior to over 16 in just over a year. We still have not seen the full impact because of Covid-19 regulations.
I am asking for a complete STR ban on Newport Island. STR's do not work and will never work on a true small residential
Island that the vast majority of residents do not want STR's. Newport Island does not have the shape, parking, space, lot
size, house size, access, noise controls, regulations and enforcement to support it. The vast majority of Newport Island
does not want any more disrespect, noise, dog issues, parties, crime, traffic, speeding, trespassing, fireworks,
intimidation, etc. due to unacceptable increase of STR permits in the last year. The person who signs the lease. The
others who stay that aren't on the lease. The others who visit during the day. The others that party at night. Unlike
other surrounding areas Newport Island is still a true residential neighborhood that did not have a STR issue until last
year. It can still be solved with a City Council Vote and presenting solid support to the Coastal Commission. A vast
majority of the Newport Island residents do not want STR's. Especially anyone who lives next to one. There is one
resident who lives and the property and has a STR permit. The other exceptions of people who want STR's on the
Newport Island don't live permanently on the Island. They also have the right to voice then opinion. However, some
might be the same people fighting any short term rentals that might be in their permanent neighborhood and would not
want one next door if they lived on the island.
SPON has a great report out on STR's. So does CDM. Newport Island's survey will be released shortly. Huntington
Beach does not allow short term rentals. Laguna has very few and they are highly regulated. The trend is to get rid of
them all together or regulate the hell the out of them. Wake up Newport...
I have called the different departments in the City of Newport Beach and asked for traffic studies or other studies that
support the City issuing STR Permits on Newport Island. I have not found one yet. What I do know is a triangle is the
worst possible shape to be in for an island if it needs parking spots. I am sure that is the reason that Newport Island is
one, if not the only neighborhood in Newport Beach that has permitted parking because of the long known parking
issues on the island. Forget, construction, City water pump trucks, maintenance workers and regular family visitors.
How do the STR fit into the equation with their multiple cars, dogs, family, friends and volume of people for their
summer parties? Short Term Rentals park illegally by blocking fire lanes, sidewalks, garages, alleys and the main streets
causing major safety and liability issues.
Let's not forget about putting 10 plus people in a 1,900 square foot house on a 2,300 lot which was a 2 bedroom
converted to a 4 bedroom ( 3717 Channel, feel free to google ). One bedroom used to be a closet the other room was a
dining room. The renters can't fit inside so they go outside and make all the noise outside which travels over the water
or next door into our bedroom. They should have no more than 6 people in a house like that and that is pushing it. Still
no Code Enforcement investigation after 6 months because they can't enter? This is the same house that has one small
garage that a large truck, SUV or Van cannot fit in and there is not a driveway so they park illegally over the sidewalk for
part in the red emergency vehicle zone. Not having one legitimate parking space but letting 10 plus people over? This is
where Code Enforcement should be earning its money and come up with solutions to the problems they see instead of
saying they can't do anything about it? Don't issue anymore STR permit's until the holes are filled. Simple. If you see a
problem work on fixing it like we all have to do. How can the permanent City employees not see what's going on?
One of the many things that we all agree on is that the owners, operators and renters should all be held accountable.
This means getting rid of the bad owners, operators, no more STR subleases, punitive fines ( make it hurt ), kicking
problem tenants out immediately, taking permits away. Any nuisance such as illegal parking and mortars should count
towards revoking a permit. The owner will have to think twice if they have the space or parking to support more than 4
or 6 people in their house. We as a neighborhood are not taking it anymore and will be calling the owners and owners
of the operators in the middle of the night after we call the police if their tenants keep us up for any reason. The
owners should have skin in the game. If they want to rent for less than 30 days then they should have to also live on the
property. I am sure that would fix most issues quickly. Since most of the STR' permits were approved in the last year
very few are impacted by having to rent more than 30 days.
Please do the right thing and ban Short Term Rentals from Newport Island. Please feel free to contact me anytime to
discuss. I am here to assist.
Best regards,
Scott McFetters

Subject: Short Term Rentals Issues from this weekend! Specifically 3717 and 3806 Channel ( Avantstay.com)
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I have attached the following pictures and police call logs from this weekend!
Just and another 10 guys staying next door at 3717 Channel and another 10 of their friends staying next door at 3806
Channel is a residential neighborhood. What could go wrong? Please see all the attached pictures. This is going to
become a legal issue soon if the city does not step up and protect our quality of life and our overall security.
2
3806 recently had all its patio furniture stolen and 3717 had a Kayak stolen.
Please not that the police call log does not note specific addresses. It does not reflect all calls and it proves that the
officers go out and ask people to move their cars instead of ticket. The same group of guys just kept doing it all
weekend and got away with it. They said the officer let them off on Friday because it was the first night. They took full
advantage the rest of the weekend with the 8 plus cars between the two houses. The 3717 does not even have a
legitimate one car garage. You cannot fit a SUV in with without blocking the sidewalk.
I called Friday at 4:04 PM about 3717 Channel. Truck blocking sidewalk and fire lane. Officer had them move. Called at
Saturday at 8:04am Same truck blocking sidewalk and fire lane. Per the picture the truck at 3806 was parked illegally all
weekend. Blocking the sidewalk and also leaving the gate blocking the sidewalk.
Saturday morning the guys left their drunk friend passed out one foot from falling in the channel per the pictures. By
the way my dog was barking all night because that guy was making noises outside all night. No one was home and I
contacted Avantstay. Gets better. I go on a walk the dog when I get home around 10:OOpm and one of the short term
rental guys at 3717 was asking if I complained about noise and that they are getting a bunch of harassment for parking
as his white car was parked illegally in the fire lane. He continued to tell me was to drunk to drive and was only going to
move it in the driveway. I told him there is 10 of them so one of them can move it or they will get a ticket. They said
there is no parking on the island so they had other cars parked at Pavillion's. They said that Avantstay gave them no
special rules for the neighborhood or parking.
He never moved so I called about all three cars that were parked illegally at 3717,3806 and the end of 38th. To my
knowledge none were cited. However they arrested someone in front of my house and my guess is it was one of the
drunk short term renters. You call can investigate that one. A picture is attached.
Anyone who thinks it is an enforcement under current protocol is nuts. You should use the call log and not the actual
cited complaints as your reference. It is not accurate. Everyone that comes in does the same thing.
I am asking that 3717 and 3806 get their permits pulled. 3806 is and ongoing party house and was mentioned about the
naked woman and pot. I witnessed it along with many others including at lease 4 police cars if not 6.
Let's not forget two large dogs at 3717 jumping of the dock on low tide and running all over the low tide habitat and
leaving two large dog craps that are probably still floating around the channel. Some of you have already seen the
pictures. I am sure it destroyed some eel grass?
We haven't even discussed possible code violations that have already been brought up regarding both houses. When
will that be enforced?
Enough is enough.
Best regards,
Scott McFetters

Subject: SHORT TERM LODGING PERMIT ISSUANCE
[EXTERNAL EMAIL) DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Dear City Council,
I would like to raise the question as to why the emergency ordinance that was put in place temporarily banning short-
term rentals was only partially lifted. I understand you are discussing Newport Island's Vacation Rentals on Tuesday.
However, are you aware that the emergency ordinance also put a hold on the issuance of any new short term lodging
permits? Why? Speaking with City Staff there are approximately 15-20 new permits sitting in a stack to be processed
once the emergency ordinance is lifted or changed. That is not a lot. Currently, there are roughly 1500 short term
lodging permits, with roughly 20 new ones to process and many many more than that coming off the books as City Staff
culls through unused and newly lost due to Covid permits. Replacing those lost with a few new permits is not going to
negatively impact the city, but it does make a large impact on the individual families/owners that are seeking those
permits, as well as businesses like mine that rely on the tourism industry to soldier on and hopefully make up for some
of the lost income we have already had to endure.
Real estate is constantly changing hands in the city. Some owners selling, others passing their properties on to their
children, and others deciding they'd like to use/enjoy the property more and thus rent it out on a short-term basis. Due
to the shutdowns, a few vacation rental businesses folded, one of which indirectly held 30+/- permits with the city that
have since been vacated or will soon. We happen to have just one of the few owners applying for the STL permit in
queue but they have been remodeling their home since before the Epidemic and would like to recoup some of their
investment and move forward with their plan that had been in the works for over a year to rent their property on the
Balboa Island Bayfront while being able to enjoy it themselves. The alternative is to remove the furniture they already
purchased, and rent the property on a long-term basis, losing money in both rent and the loss of expenditures already
outlaid as well as the opportunity to enjoy a multi -generational and shared family vacation home.
The point of all of this is that vacation permits coming and going do not cause problems for the city or any increased risk
with Covid-19 any more than hotel visitors, restaurant patrons, beach visitors, etc. etc. They do bring in TOT tax and $$
spent by visitors who enjoy what Newport Beach has to offer and keeps alive the small businesses which are hurting so
badly at this current time. Since the temporary ban on short-term lodging was already lifted with some continued
restrictions in place, please consider lifting the hold on the issuance of any new permits.
Thank you for your consideration.
Regards,
Alex Batley

PURPOSE
SURVEY: SHORT-TERM LODGING
cis MARCH -APRIL 2020 ca
In response to a great many concerns expressed by residents and property owners about short-
term lodging (at least 1 day but no more than 30 consecutive days) in residential neighborhoods,
Councilmembers Joy Brenner (D6), Jeff Herdman (D5) and Diane Dixon (D1) were appointed to
an ad-hoc committee on short-term lodging (STL) to review and propose updated regulations.
Councilmember Brenner, the STL Ad Hoc Committee and Community Development staff were
interested in feedback from CdMRA members about changes to the existing short-term rental
ordinance. The survey was later circulated by SPON to their members, but 75% of all respondents
were from Corona del Mar.
BACKGROUND
Several years ago, the City Council voted to ban short-term lodging in single-family
neighborhoods (zoned as R-1) but does allow them in neighborhoods with condos and duplexes
(zoned as R-2).
The City of Newport Beach has the potential for over 10,000 short- term lodging rentals. Newport
Beach has issued 1,536 permits so far, which is 2 -to -3 times more than other cities in Orange
County or along the Southern California coast. The next largest coastal city with short-term
lodging is the City of Carlsbad with 650 active short-term lodging permits.
Renting a residential unit for 31 days or more is a property right, but renting the unit or any
portion of it for 30 days or less is not. This is a very important distinction, and the reason why
cities can regulate short-term lodging activity.
City staff prepared the questions for circulation to CdMRA's membership.
SURVEY STATISTICS
Corona del Mar Population: 6,400 residential households
CcIMRA Membership: 700 residential households (11% of CdM households)
CcIMRA Survey Recipients: 643 households with email addresses (10% of CdM households)
Corona del Mar Household Responses: 232 (75% of 311 total responses)

R[ s l D r-. N,r s A s s O C 1 AT I O N crs MARCH -APRIL 2020 c -a
RESULTS AS OF APRIL 30 2020
Survey Conclusion
There was a clear majority preference for every question asked, ranging from 66%-96%, which
leads us to conclude that additional restrictions to the City's existing STL ordinance would be
supported by residents in our community.
Restrictions such as capping occupancy based on number of bedrooms (96%), requiring on-site
parking (90%), requiring rentals to be at least 3 days in duration (75%) and capping and/or
decreasing the number of permits (76-82%) received the highest majority opinions.
This survey was taken just at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we know more today
than we did at its start. One finding that is consistent across the globe is that higher -density areas
are harder hit by infectious diseases than low-density ones. If we took the survey again today,
we would expect to see resulting majority opinions even higher when weighing in on restrictions
that focus on reducing density.
Confidence Level
We can conclude that the survey results are statistically significant for all Corona del Mar
households given our sample size and the consistently high majority opinion on restrictions.
We have a 95% confidence level that survey answers represent CdM residents within a 6%
margin of error.

This is not uniform across the city... I am sure there are some areas of Newport
where there could be more flexiblilty but in the Flower streets west of the
highway in Corona Del Mar, Peninsula Point and Lido I do not see why there
should be any short term rentals as it is inconsistent with the area, its history,

I am NOT very sympathetic with owners who feel that we residents should
allow them to have a STL so they can afford to pay for their property. Why
does our quality of life have to suffer for that? It's simple- if they can't afford it,
don't buy it. I would prefer to see no STL's in the City at all and would like to

My wife & I reside at 2711 Point del Mar, CDM and have for 30+ years. The
house at the comer of Femleaf & 5th has become a hotel. They rent to groups
of "younger people" and use the hot tub on their roof - which looks into our
bedroom. It has taken away the community feeling with unknown people with
no responsibilities to our neighborhood. In the Flower streets there should be a

The City really needs to cut down on all of the illegal short term rentals as well.
Our neighbor turned his 4,000 sq foot house into one for the last seven years
and Code Enforcement did very little to stop him. Our other neighbor down the
street continues to do this to this day. In fact, they rent it out to people with
dogs and allow their dogs to defecate on all of the homeowners lawns. They
double park on the street (the homeowners who turned these into illegal SFR's
don't allow them to park in the garage!). Strider rules really need to be put in
place. They all lie and state that they are "friends" staying there or they are
staying there for 30+ days (except they leave after a week). It should be a strict
30+ day policy and the homeowner should have to provide onsite

1.) newport beach has managed short term rentals fairly and equitably for
years ... unlike many other cities. most of the current owners have factored into
their financial decisions their ability to live comfortably, rent & manage
properties based on their specific zoning allowances and limitations. to change
dramatically their zoning restrictions now would be equal to buying a property
well below market value near the airport impacted by noise, and then trying to
forbid planes. 2.) owners should be responsible for obeying all current rules
and public nuisance laws, and assuring that their tenants are responsible. at
the same time, current rules and laws should be enforced immediately &
consisitently before any new rules are enacted. 3.) our experience has been

Thank you for looking into this. It's an issue especially in CDM Village
The city does not have the infrastructure for short-term lodging. The biggest
issue is parking, and the lack of it, followed by the increased traffic caused by
visitors and residents looking for parking. I find that this increase reduces the

I am against any short term lodging in Corona del Mar as I currently feel with
several on my block that I am living in a Motel 6. This was a once beautiful
community and now it has been ruined with short term rentals. No one in the
City ever asked if I wanted short term rentals in my neighborhood and I pay my
taxes which supports the City and I feel the City has sold me out for a few
dollars.Appears that many real estate sales people have enhanced their sales
by selling to people that put in short term rentals as a way to afford the
mortgage and make some money and that is just plain GREEDY. Wake up City

I believe the STR permits already issued should be grandfather in if the city
decides to ban STR's in the future. Owners who provide STR's do so to
supplement their income and don't want to jeopardize this by allowing parties
and unruly tenants. There should be no requirement to providing 1 parking
space as we know most rentals don't necessary provide a parking spot and
most are cluttered and not used as parking. Parking is not the issue.
Lastly, before targeting a section of the community let's pull police calls for
service or track calls for service to prove or disprove the problems associated
with STR's. Do your homework before jumping into an important decision that

eliminated and terminated On an incremental random lottery basis over a three
year period. We have owned properties on both the peninsula and in Corona
Del Mar for more than 25 years. In our experience short term rentals and even
long-term apartment rentals have brought nothing but problems including police

Newport Beach, including CDM, has traditionally been a vacation beach town.
That's how short term rentals got started. I believe that that practice should
continue, but with limits, guidelines and specific restrictions, particularly length
of stay, number of persons occupying the rental, and parking space, etc.

The survey is a good idea. But the issues that need to be addressed is what
type of management (on-site, off-site) is available, having code enforcement or
police available, what fines are charged to irresponsible
operators. The Loud and Unruly Ordinance was successful in minimizing large
parties in the beach areas because the fines were large enough and impacted
owner and visitors. Same principle needs to apply here. A party with 6 people
can be loud, or it can be quiet. It depends on the people involved, and what
they understand as consequences for poor behavior.
SLT can be self-limiting. My neighbors in CdM who have tried it have met with

The City should not allow short-term rentals for any residence that shares a
wall with another residence. If you approve short-term permits it should only be
for stand alone houses. Also, there needs to be a process for neighbors to
report noise and other disturbances to the city that will result in the cancellation

City Council should be mindful of a couple of issues; First, Duplex property
values have been affected as a result of STL opportunities generally increasing
values of many properties that were normally less desirable, e.g. a duplex on a
busy street has gained value because it is desirable by vacationing guests.
Removing them from STL permit holders could dramatically negatively effect
the resale value of the property. Likewise, not being able to transfer the STL
permit to a new owner would also dramatically diminish the property's value
and either farce Owner to sell at a loss to hold the property which could also
create a hardship for the Owner. Also, requiring a minimum of one parking is in
many cases, better, that what exists with non STL permit holders since many
owners, if not most, do not utilize their onsite parking availablity and use the
free public street parking.
Lastly, puffing a cap on number of permits issued, limiting the "eligible" areas
that allow STL should be based on solid meaningful metrics, not just an
arbitrary number like 1,600 or only properties on the ocean side of Coast
No
Highway. This can be discriminatory and open up the city to litigation.

We live at 700 Poinsettia Ave. At the property next door to us, 702, the new
owner who lives in Anaheim has rented his unit at 702 1/2 Poinsettia Ave. to an
Airbnb operator who rents to noisy late-night transients. These transients walk
on our shared sidewalk between the two properties and stare into our house,
bring dogs that poop and bark, have midnight arguments and throw out trash
that they brought with them from somewhere else. The tenant/Airbnb operator
Penner tells us that the back area of the shared sidewalk is her property and
only for her business, and we need to stay away. She moved in only 3 months
ago and thinks that she is now making up the new rules. The owner Laslo is
slow to respond and says it is not his problem. Laslo may hold the STL permit,
but the tenant Penner is operating the Airbnb and impacting the neighborhood.
It must be difficult for the City to accurately control and tax the Airbnb industry i
the permit holder is not accountable and has no desire to oversee the Airbnb
operics, not just an arbitrary number like 1,600 or only properties on the ocean

Even if the short-term renters are quiet and responsible, in my opinion, short

neighbors who know each other, chat or even socialize, and have a general

The advent of easily booked shore term lodging has destroyed the character of
some CDM neighborhoods. Uncaring landlords consistently fail to address
concerns of tax paying residents. Police are called, wasting resources, with the
same situation occurring over and over. People pay a lot of money to enjoy the
ambiance of Newport Beach, and contribute significant tax revenues to the city,
and work to make their homes beautiful. Having a bunch of renters pile in for a
drunken weekend party making noise, taking up parking, and being obnoxious
is not welcome. Many people have considered selling and moving away due to
the influx of short-term renters. Newport Beach is way behind the curve with

Our neighborhoods are becoming commercial/hotel zones. We already live on
top of each other. These STL's (as you call them) create challenges to the
homeowners who have to re -"educate" every new short-term renter who's
coming in for a few fun vacation days while the rest of us who live here have to
get early and go to work. All we want to do is come home to some peace and
quiet. We don't want to hear the neighbors partying and/or staying up at all
hours because they're on vacation while the rest of us aren't. THATS what

The peninsula and balboa island have had weekly summer rental since i young.
these properties have been bought sold on this basis, so to change that would
wildly disrupt the economics for many people. I have one in CDM and my
neighbors are fine with it and has caused zero disruption because i manage it,
and live in the front. It is the absentee owners that cause the problems,
because no one is there to supervise. i am in favor of severe fines for violating

We have too many STL in the city. it's become intolerable & should be
BANNED or at least restricted! Instead of residential neighborhoods with actual
NEIGHBORS we have become a Village of Streets with Weekend Party Hotels
(actually BUSINESSES, NOT "Homes" at all) with strangers coming & going.
This is certainly NOT the CdM our family envisioned & think following other
cities ban of STL is a brilliant idea, thus restoring Village charm &
neighborliness. Visitors are always welcome to stay in one of our beautiful

Short term renters contribute to a deterioration of the neighborhoods. They
typically do not care about the upkeep of the properties or the surrounding
neighborhoods. They do not care if they disturb other neighbors as they do
are not permanent residents. If owners want to rent their properties they
should be allowed to do that under long term lease contract only to preserve

I am the owner of a long-term single family residence in CDM and would
embrace the idea of stricter regulations with short term rentals. What I observe
with the guests in short-term rentals is a lack of understanding our community's
rules & regulations. Particularly when it comes to trash & recycling. Noise
abatement is also a concern in term of loud parties and large group gatherings.
I support any and all efforts to minimize or reduce the number of short-term

I lived in a short-term rental on Balboa Island from September 2019 until
January 2020, so I have clearly benefited from the city allowing such terms.
(The unit rents monthly in the winter, weekly in the summer.) I am a long-time
Newport resident, going through a divorce, and the rental provided a
transitional home for me, which I greatly appreciated. Next door was another
short-term unit that had turnover every 3 days to one week. In effect, I had new
neighbors every few days. These people were on vacation, while I was working
from home. Some played loud music, some smoked on their patio, but the
bottom line is, all were strangers. Living alone, I felt extremely uncomfortable
having a constant flow of new renters next door. It is one of several reasons I
moved to the Flower Streets, where there are far fewer short-term rentals. My
quality of life was negatively impacted by short-term lodging, even though I was
a (relatively) short-term renter myself. I realize that living near short-term rental
units is partople and one is marginally a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom (8) people.
That puts 14 people with dogs and guests in 2519 square feet. One car garage

FYI, own original cottages in CdM (currently STRs) and live on the premises.
From my experience, Corona del Mar attracts a very different type of guest
compared to Balboa Island or the Peninsula - Almost always couples between
the ages of 55 - 85 who have a current or prior connection to CdM (Lived here,
visiting kids who live here, grandkids, etc.) They want to stay here because it
is QUIET, and they are RESPECTFUL of the neighborhood and the neighbors.
I care about my neighbors too much to EVER subject them to anything
annoying. All guests must agree to house rules before booking, and again„ I
believe it is a good thing in general for Owners to BE ON THE PREMISES
(maybe something to consider for CdM, since it is a more quiet neighborhood).
I agree that parking can be an issue in certain areas, especially on the beach
side ... This is not just caused by STIRS ... It is mostly caused by non-residents
that refuse to pay for beach parking, so they park on residential streets. Permit
parking + 2 hour street parkople and one is marginally a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom
(8) people. That puts 14 people with dogs and guests in 2519 square feet.
One car garage each. This puts 20 extra people plus 2 cars or large SUVs. In
addition they usually have dogs and do t obey the regulated hours and leash
laws. The parking is already impossible because of the beaches and the short
term renters move in and out on Saturdays as well as the cleaning crews that
double park on Saturdays. As you can see, I am violently opposed to STLs.
Many buyers of properties are buying under the STL RULES OF WHUCH
PROPERTIES THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD OTHERWISE.

If a property owner uses their property for STL which does not objectively
impact neighbors, I am in favor. If a STL property owner allows completely
unbridled use of their property for one day or thirty days, fines or other
consequences should be levied. Since a permit is not "owned" by a property
owner, I do not see why the property owner would have jurisdiction over who
possesses it. A new owner would need to purchase a property for their own
use or for that of standard rental use and not be purchasing property after
property to increase the prevalence of STLs in a certain area. I significant
barrier to annoying STL would be, as suggested in your questions above,
limiting and enforcing the limit to STL occupancy. If this is done, it is
unnecessary to then regulate the available onsite parking slots; public parking
is, by definition open to the public and we appear to have plenty of businesses
with little to no parking slots of their own so why treat residential private
property owners any differently. Asirics, not just an arbitrary number like 1,600
or only properties on the ocean side of Coast Highway. This can be
discriminatory and open up the city to litigation.
City Council should be cautious on any ruling that limits or restricts property
owner rights. Thank youw feet away from, 2 nightly rentals. It's like a cheap
motel!
Everything was fine until my neighbor decided to rent out both units through
Airbnb after his property fell out of escrow almost 6 years ago. I have had to
sleep on the sofa in my living room many nights because of the noise, and
sometimes they're not even breaking the law, just being inconsiderate because
they're leaving soon anyway and don't care about their neighbors. Short term

Short term rentals are not conducive to healthy residential neighborhoods &
although the City may receive some revenue from them, ultimately full-time
residents or at least long term renters will return much more to the City and the
neighborhoods both in revenue and quality participation. Newport Beach &

It is VERY difficult for local and new residents to find long-term (year -lease etc)
housing. I cannot believe this many rentals are permitted when we have a
housing issue, especially for smaller sized apartments (1-2 BR). This drives up
housing prices for people who are simply trying to earn a living and save
money for retirement, without having to have to live elsewhere. I am curious
why do we want to give preference to short-term guests, versus residents who
work and spend their money year-round in Newport Beach and its surrounding
areas? There are plenty of hotels for out of town guests and tourists. Aren't

In Corona Del Mar we property owners do not operate businesses out of our
home, these are residences and should not be for-profit business zones. The
short term rentals have been an absolute nuisance and result in much hassle
of residents and the police department having to manage all the late night
partying, trash & garbage strewn everywhere, dog feces not picked up and
destruction of adjacent properties. These short term rentals must be more
closely monitored and managed by the property owners and the city granting
the permits. Thank you for conducting the survey! DO SOMETHING WE

nightmare. Although currently the owner has 2 1 -year long leases living his
duplex, he is still talking about reverting back to Airbnb. The nightly rentals
were awful! Groups of people hauling in coolers of beer, pit bulls off leash (I
have a small dog), pot smoking outside, parties, fireworks set off over my roof
on the 4th of July, drunken couples sitting outside late at night... about 4 feet
from my bedroom wall, talking loudly, or renters routinely parking in my
driveway. I have complained to the police, who rarely came in time to witness
the infraction, or the noise would start again as soon as they left, and they
RARELY left a citation, so the permits were never taken away. It has been
awful. I live on the inland side of PCH, where we didn't have vacation rentals
before.
Code enforcement didn't help me, nor did the police, or the city council. It is

Short term lodging has been part of Newport & CdM culture for about 100
years but it should not take over our city or any one neighborhood. It is
suggested to cap permits at 1700 units, --10% increase. When units sell,
permits should go to next on waiting list. Those with permits should be

Newport Beach is a resort city, and, not everyone who desires to stay here can
afford to spend upwards of $400 plus per night (or more) for one room in a
hotel. In addition, many vacationers prefer to rent a home or condo, thus
affording them all the comforts of home, particularly if one is traveling with
family. I see no reason to limit the number of STL to the current number,
however, I do think its a good idea to have a 3 night minimum, to reduce the
adverse effects of rapid turnovers on surrounding permanent homeowners. In
addition, placing a limit on the number of guests per bedroom will prevent
overcrowding and reduce noise, which would also benefit the surrounding

Since tourism is an integral part of NB's revenue, I understand the importance
of being vacation-rental/short term lodging friendly HOWEVER our city council
must also consider the citizens/residents of NB who not only contribute to the
tax base but also raise their families and support the local economy in an
infinite amount of ways. A balance must be upheld but more importantly, we
must prioritize our future plans and place the safety, quality of life, and value of
our properties of NB locals above all!! Very reasonable to require a 3 night
minimum; very reasonable to require a limit on occupancy and to require the
parking quota. Many municipalities around the country and the globe (
France/Europe for example) have limitations in place that protect the quality of
fife of its locals. Let's do it!! I've been a "Newporter" since 1972 and am behind
these initiatives ONE HUNDRED PERCENTI! Thank you for asking our

I live in a neighborhood of R-1 on my side of the street and R-2 across the
street as many streets ARE in Balboa Peninsula. The R-2 side of the street
has 10 structures and 7 short-term rentals. Yes the # of STLs should be
limited in neighborhoods and should have a City limit of half of what it is.
Newport is the highest by double in OC. MANY BEACH CITIES IN LA ARE
GETTING RID OF STI -s. As far as the # of occupants putting 2 people on
couches is disgusting. Permits should be restricted to 2 persons per bedroom.
The tenants invite their friends and family anyway and stuff as many people as
they can in the units plus extra cars. My view across the street is of people in
pajamas (or less) flopping around on makeshift beds. Short term rentals have
turned an upscale City into a low class beach City. Of the 3 STIRS across from
my home: One building is a two bedroom (barely the size of a double mattress
each) and 1 bathroom (6 people) The other building has two units: one is a two
bedroom 1 bathr000m (6) people and one is marginally a 3 bedroom 2
bathroom (8) people. That puts 14 people with dogs and guests in 2519
square feet. One car garage each. This puts 20 extra people plus 2 cars or
large SUVs. In addition they usually have dogs and do t obey the regulated
hours and leash laws. The parking is already impossible because of the
beaches and the short term renters move in and out on Saturdays as well as
the deaning crews that double park on Saturdays. As you can see, I am
violently opposed to STI -s. Many buyers of properties are buying under the STL

In contrast to a number of other tourist -based cities, Newport residential
neighborhoods are comprised of many 'ongoing" Residents where their
property is their home( whether it be by full or part time). It is critical that the
City apply Ordinance parameters that prevent operators from churning people
in and out with no onsite management. This has become not only an issue of
miniimizing nuisances, but actually HEALTH AND SAFETY.. A 34 night
minimum would go a long way to inherently improving quality and control of

During the Pandemic there should be no short term rentals allowed in the city.
The occupancy limit should be decreased and enforced. If occupancy limits are
not observed, the permit should be revoked immediately. If more than one
complaint is issued the permit should be revoked immediate. If any permits are
issued in error, they should be revoked immediately. Short term rentals are bad
for communities. Families that don't observe the occupancy limit, college
students who come to party, etc. If they are allowed they need to be enforced.

Please put a moratorium on short term lodging in our city immediately. We can
revisit this short term lodging topic after the health crisis has fully subsided.
Short term lodging is taking a toll on our infrastructure now when our vital
services are needed by us residents. Stay Al Home orders must be strictly
followed NOW in order to stop the pandemic. The WHO first warned us about
the seriousness of COVID-19 on December 31, 2019. We ignored that
warning. Gavin Newsom issued a Stay At Home order on March 19, 2020. Our
parks and beaches filled up with visitors. They left trash cans overflowing
causing sanitation problems for local residents. Short term lodging should have
already been terminated. Newport Beach boasts the highest per capita by far
(4 times as many cases as Irvine and Anaheim! We still do not have adequate
testing supplies to confirm actual undetected additional cases. Please shut
down short term lodging today! Thank you.

When you allow fewer homes and require a longer stay (min 6 nights) the

Short term rentals on Newport Island are out of control! What used to be a
family friendly residential community, 10 years later, has become a junior
high/high school/college fraternity party non-stop with no adult supervision.
There are sometimes 30 people next door on the patio in a 3 bedroom short
term rental house. I live next door to constant loud music, chain smokers,
yelling/shouting foul language, inappropriate talk for children, peeing in the
street, loud talking in streets at 3am, trash and cars parked on next door
neighbors property. They even rent out their docks for extra money to short
term renters that have huge boats who hire professional DJ's on boats to party.

I am for STIRS but we need stricter rules and regulations. It should be
mandatory for properties to have a manager that can be on site within 20 min
should there be an emergency. Too many owners are managing properties
from out of the area and they have no idea what's going on - parties,
occupancy limits exceeded, etc. There should be a strict occupancy max (2 per
bed) for sleeping. Add 2 for daytime property use. Up the price of the yearly
rental permit to $500. Then use the excess funds to create an enforcement
department. Three violations and you lose your permit. This will make owners
pay closer attention to their rentals and abide by the rules all while bringing

To Newport Beach City Council Members,
I am writing in favor of removing the ban on short-term rentals on Newport Island. (Re: Item #19 on the
upcoming June 23 Council Meeting Agenda: Ordinance # 2020-15). The home I currently own on Newport
Island has been in my family for over 80 years. I currently own the property with my siblings and we often use
the home for family vacations and get-togethers with relatives and friends. We also occasionally rent the house
on a short-term basis and rely on the rental income to help with the cost of home maintenance, repair and other
property -related expenses. We are responsible renters and do not rent to parties who cause disturbances or
damage property.
We understand the need to temporarily ban short-term rentals during the Covid pandemic but feel it's extremely
unfair and inequitable to lift the STR ban in Newport Beach with the exception of Newport Island. The reasons
given for keeping the ban in effect on the Island — parking problems, density of homes, narrow streets,
disturbances by short-term renters — are the same problems that all other areas in Newport Beach have
experienced with short term -rentals. We are amenable to the need to put additional restrictions in place but
don't see the reasoning or fairness in banning STR on Newport Island altogether.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Lori Bowman

Honorable Members of the Newport Beach City Council:
The Newport Island Community Association, formerly known as Newport Island Inc, has existed since 1952. The
Association has served to represent the residents of the Island as a sounding board on important issues that affect our
community. In the past the Association has served as an information source to help the City determine the way forward
on many issues. Because our West Newport Beach area was notorious for out of control July 4th celebrations our
neighborhood association, along with other neighborhood groups, successfully worked to develop a family oriented
celebration that changed from an unruly mob environment to a calmer more enjoyable holiday observance. Our
association has also worked with the City on several major projects directly affecting the island such as the
undergrounding of island utilities, replacement of our original concrete street paving and street lighting replacement, the
improvement of the water quality surrounding our island, our bridge entrance improvements and most recently, the total
renovation of Newport Island Park. Over the last fews years the board was less active in the absence of major issues but
the park refurbishment activity and the controversial issue of Short Term Rentals has reignited our residents interest and
concern about our community. Lately things have become heated between residents and the STR owners so the Board
of Newport Island Community Association decided to survey resident opinion to help us better understand how the
residents of Newport Island feel about their island living among STR's situated proximate to their homes. We believe that
the results of the survey (65 responses) attached provide a meaningful representation as to where the island community
stands in regards to the STIR issue.
Thank you for your kind attention,
Respectfully,
Mark Markos, President

I also live on Newport Island and I share Mark's concerns. I also wanted to circulate some data I recently collected on
the historical number of STR permits issued on Newport Island. Last year the number more than doubled (see below)
I have lived on the peninsula (34ht street), Central Balboa (Lindo Ave.) and now Newport Island. Without a doubt the
parking issue is substantially worse on Newport Island than other areas of the peninsula. I believe it has to do with the
fact that the majority of residences on the Newport Island are bay front, with driveways instead of curbside. Thus the
amount of curb space available for parking spots is much less than other areas of the peninsula.
This combination of parking shortage plus the dramatic increase in short term rental permits (many of whom do not
operate within the restrictions specified in the permits) is creating a neighborhood crisis on Newport Island. Please stop
issuing new permits as its is degrading the quality of life this area of Newport Bech.
Thank you,
Chris Harano

Honorable Members of the Newport Beach City Council:
The Newport Island Community Association, formerly known as Newport Island Inc, has existed since
1952. The Association has served to represent the residents of the Island as a sounding board on
important issues that affect our community. In the past the Association has served as an information
source to help the City determine the way forward on many issues. Because our West Newport Beach
area was notorious for out of control July 4th celebrations our neighborhood association, along with other
neighborhood groups, successfully worked to develop a family oriented celebration that changed from an
unruly mob environment to a calmer more enjoyable holiday observance. Our association has also
worked with the City on several major projects directly affecting the island such as the undergrounding of
island utilities, replacement of our original concrete street paving and street lighting replacement, the
improvement of the water quality surrounding our island, our bridge entrance improvements and most
recently, the total renovation of Newport Island Park. Over the last fews years the board was less active
in the absence of major issues but the park refurbishment activity and the controversial issue of Short
Term Rentals has reignited our residents interest and concern about our community. Lately things have
become heated between residents and the STR owners so the Board of Newport Island Community
Association decided to survey resident opinion to help us better understand how the residents of
Newport Island feel about their island living among STR's situated proximate to their homes. We believe
that the results of the survey (65 responses) attached provide a meaningful representation as to where
the island community stands in regards to the STR issue.
Thank you for your kind attention,
Respectfully,
Mark Markos, President

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Hello,
I am a home owner on Newport Island. We are full time, year round residents.
I am very concerned regarding the increase in short-term rentals on Newport Island. The renters (partygoers)are not
respectful of their neighbors, they take up already limited parking, they drive their cars way too fast, they party all night
long and they shoot off fireworks and their dogs bark and torment resident dogs on the island.
I believe our island at this point has about 10% of the houses set up as short-term rentals. That is a highly
disproportionate percentage when compared to the rest of the peninsula and Newport Beach.
I don't understand why Newport Beach has 1,500?? short-term rentals when neighboring beach communities have a
fraction of that amount. I have often wondered if it has to do with the strength of the real estate development lobby
within and outside of our city counsel.
I fully support the proposed curbs on Newport Island and frankly, I don't think they go far enough.
My wife and I both vote.
Thanks

Hi Evelyn,
I saw that the City Council will be discussing its STR rules on Tuesday. We hope to be in a position to support
and recommend to our hosts to also support these recommendations, but need clarity on a few items. Would be
great to discuss these questions on a call if you are available on Monday or Tuesday prior to the Council hearing
on Tuesday night.
1. The staff report recommends the Council introduce on first read the revised STR ordinance and schedule
for 2nd read on July 14th. The report later outlines under "Next Steps" that the Planning Commission
will consider additional ad hoc committee recommendations at its meeting on July 23 related to the
City's zoning code and local coastal implementation plan and that a recommendation from the Planning
Commission will be scheduled in City Council in September. Could you help clarify these actions? Are
all of the recommendations of the ad hoc committee as presented in the staff report and scheduled for
council this Tuesday also being sent to the planning commission for review/approval before being
brought back to Council again? In other words, does the entire ordinance need to be taken back through
the Planning Commission again before it is fully adopted?
2. What does the City envision to be the law's effective date? We hope to have a chance to discuss the
timeline to develop administrative guidelines, launch the registration and compliance window, and the
city's expectations related to platform compliance with the regulations.
3. Limit on Permits - prior drafts set the citywide limit at 1600, but the latest draft ordinance does not
include any language limiting the number of permits citywide. However, the ad hoc committee staff
report recommends the planning commission consider a cap but does not specifically address the
number. It also recommends against phasing out STR permits outside of the coastal zone. If approved
as drafted currently, would there be a limit on the number of permits citywide?
4. Tax Collection - rather than require tax collection, the ordinance now reflects that platforms must collect
if notified by the City. Can you help us understand the City's intent in changing this provision? Does
the City intend to notify all online platforms including Airbnb, along with its other competitors of this
requirement to collect and remit TOT?
5. Prohibition in single family homes, or areas with specific plans, planned community plan, or planned
residential district unless a permit was previously issued - generally what portion of the City does this
allow STR in? Does the City's GIS mappin tool ool reflect the areas of the City that would be eligible for
STR use under these restrictions?
6. STR Emergency Order - sets a 4 night minimum requirement except for purposes of housing first
responders on Newport Island. What are the unique challenges in Newport Island that require these
additional restrictions? Is the minimum night requirement limited only to the duration of the emergency
order or will it be a permanent part of the City's STR regulations?
Thank you so much for your consideration of these questions. We look forward to hearing from you.

Seimone,
Expedia Group has the following technical questions about the proposed ordinance changes:
(1) It appears that the licensing requirements apply only to properties in residential areas. Will all short-term rental
properties need a license or just those in residential areas — is that a correct interpretation? Sec. 5.95.015, Sec.
5.95.020.
(2) It appears the City will not issue any new licenses for single-family homes in an R-1 residential area. Is that your
understanding of the requirement? Sec. 5.95.015.
(3) The tax collection provision also includes collecting "visitor services fees." Can you clarify what those fees refer
to? Will those fees be collected by the city or by the property owners/platforms?
I will give you a call to discuss —just wanted you to have the specific questions to consider in advance.

Subject: Short -Term Lodging Pictures on Newport Island
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Honorable City Council, City Manager and City Staff,
I hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend! Now back to the theme of our pain is your pain. Would
you want a business next to your home? Especially when not currently accountable. A second email later with
more pictures will follow.
I am forwarding a previous email that was sent to some of you regarding short term renters who are allowed
to bring dogs without a fenced in back yard at 3717 Channel and then let them loose into our channel during
low tide or other times with no disregard as if it is their personal back yard. There have been multiple dogs
more than 3 or times in the last year. Some dogs run around including on my dock at low tide and others
jump in after the ducks, stingrays and whatever else.
Please see the pictures of what they leave behind. How is bringing transient, irresponsible short-term rental
on the water without appropriate fencing or yard any type of restrictions positive for the charter of the
Coastal Commission? The Newport Island residents on the channel cannot do any work without a permit from
Coastal Commission but short-term rentals can allow habitat destruction and leave. They are the same dogs
that bark because they are not used to the area and can see anything that goes by including the wildlife,
boats, kayakers, etc. Why the short-term renters leave the dogs in a new environment lock up inside or with
the backdoor open all day why they are having fun we the permanent neighbors get to listen to them bark and
moan all day.
have notified Advanstay,com. and Code Enforcement and sent pictures and all we get is more multiple dog
situations. The same people trespassed on my property to wash the channel mud of my deck and dock while
we were on our boat so we would not see it happened. I noticed right away and contacted
AvantStay.com. They did nothing. The owner is also aware but nonresponsive and wants me to talk to his
attorney with any issues. This is the same person listed in the Newport Beach Short Term City directory as a
contact with his phone number.
Please ban short term rentals on Newport Island. in the interim if there is and in the interim, please hold the
owners and operators responsible by making them be owner occupied ( Santa Monica and other cities ), much
higher fines, inspections, limit the amount of total people to 7 or less depending on the size of the lot, house
and real bedrooms. Illegal parking, fireworks, etc. should count towards a permit infraction. Eliminate
subleases for short term rentals where the owner is off the hook. If DAC ( Disturbance Activation Card ) is 8 or
more people than allowing permits over 7 occupants are asking for a party on Newport Island. It is a
neighborhood not STR hub. There are many more restrictions not mentioned in this email. Make it easy for
Code Enforcement to enforce and pull permits. Make STIR fees and fines more expensive to cover the costs of
having dedicated police to enforce the STR's 24 hours a day. The hotels have to bear that expense whey do
the STIR owners have no skin in the game. They make money and the neighbors suffer in our own
neighborhoods. Our pain should be the owner, operator, short term renter pain. Any further residential pain
should be eliminated immediately. We live there and the almost all the owners of the STR's don't.
Best regards,
Scott McFetters

I hope all is well! I wanted to give you an update and send you some pictures and video from 3717 Channel this
weekend. I think two parking citations were given out Thursday and Saturday. I called to complain about them being out
until midnight in the back deck and having two big dogs out at 6:30 am in the morning which woke up the neighbors
who live on the water along with them talking.
I came back yesterday on our boat and dogs had been on my back deck, dock and all offer the channel around the sea
wall during the low
tide.

Two piles of dog feces that are now part of our channel water supply. Probably killed a bunch of eel grass, etc.
The dogs have been barking or making noise When they leave they put them in the house and they bark when anyone

Thank you for the support: I will be out of town this week along with some other neighbors. However we should still be

Hello,
I have been renting my house intermittently for short-term rentals, and I believe we provide a very valuable resource to
the community in general but also to Newport Beach specifically. Unfortunately, it is not feasible for a lot of families to
be able to afford multiple hotel rooms anywhere near the beach in Newport, and by providing these families a more
affordable option, it allows families to vacation in Newport Beach bringing in a great deal of money into the local
economy. It also helps increase positive awareness of Newport Beach, which is good for all residents as it improves
property values overall. I feel that the process Newport Beach has put into place is more than adequate, and I would
highly recommend not changing anything right now especially given the tumultuousness in the local economy due to the
ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as well as recent political issues.
Thank you

Please advise us on how we can have input on tomorrow's meeting. We have an apartment above our garage, that we
have been renting out for four years. We have a business license and have paid taxes. We are on site as we live in the
front house.
Our Airbnb has a 5 star rating and we have always had a 4 night minimum. We host a lot of post op surgery patients
from Dr.Chun as well. Most of our guests fly in and use Uber or have one car. We park both of our cars in the
garage. There is no difference if it's our car or the guest car parked on the street. We have owned our home since 1982.
My husband was born and raised on Balboa Island, where his parents still reside on Ruby and Bayfront. That property
has been in the family since 1921. We reside on 421 Iris, the coast side of pacific coast hwy. We are in agreement that
all short term rentals should have a 4 day minimum and have a business license. We enjoy our Airbnb guests and would
hate to see any of this taken away from us. Our neighbors are mostly rental apartments and we are directly across from
Gina's Pizza and Smart and Final. We are not in a traditional residential setting.
Thank you for your time in reading this and please let us know that you have received this email.

I have been operating my short term rental legally and property for the past 7 years.
I know that you were implementing new guidelines regarding parking. Notifications, licenses etc...
I am all for that.
But to limit us to a 4 day minimum would be detrimental. I dont get single night requests but I do get a lot of people that
can only afford 2 or 3 days.
This would be a huge impact on my business. Even the 3 night minimum is affecting me now. But I am living with it.
I feel that the council needs to address this in baby steps. See how it goes with your previous issues and work on them
for a year and come back to the table to see what worked and did not work.
But to continuously change the rules on us nonstop is not effective. When you put a ban on Airbnb's until May 20th, this
was very taxing.
We are now just getting back to business with more rules and compliance issues. I honestly wonder if the city council
wants to ban airbnb and this is their way of doing it.
I will have to say, that if this new issue passes of 4 day minimum, then I will be forced to sell and invest in a vacation city
that welcomes Airbnb clientel, airbnb hosts and a city that appreciates the tax revenue that comes in.
Please dont make many owners leave. Your new restrictions on already a compromised market due to COVID has been
taxing on us enough.

To whom it may concern,
As a resident of Newport Beach, I ask that the council does NOT impose the following regulations, because I won't be
able to afford a mortgage:
• Ban short-term rentals in single family homes
• Ban renters from short-term renting
• Require owners to obtain a business license and submit a nuisance response plan when applying

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my understanding that the City Council is meeting to discuss the future of short term rentals in Newport
Beach. I occasionally rent out my townhome in Newport Beach, which is in the Newport Terrace community off
of 19th Street in Westside Costa Mesa. My community has a community pool, basketball court and is the perfect
spot for guests that want a retreat from their homes and to feel like they are close enough to the beach, yet far
away enough from the beach in a nature area. I am highly against the city putting a stop to short term rentals,
as this is a significant help to my income and mortgage.
I would like my voice to be known that I AM AGAINST putting a stop to short term rentals. I feel that this provides
people with families that chance to visit Newport Beach that may not be able to stay in a hotel and want the
home feel.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help prevent this from occurring.

Hello Monique,
I've sent my thoughts before but never really get any response back. Maybe some of these views will
be discussed in the meeting tomorrow?
I am a vacation rental owner and resident of Newport Beach. I'd like to tell you a little bit about the
experience I have with full time residents since so much emphasis is on the vacation rental residents.
We have a rental at 121 37th Street and 7205 Seashore Drive. From day one of opening my doors 6
years ago as a vacation rental I've had several neighbors (home owners) thank me for renovating the
property and inviting such nice families to the house. Many of them have now gone into the vacation
rental business too and are able to supplement their income by renting part of their home. We all look
out for each other, notify each other if groups look like they might be too loud, etc ... The biggest
problem we all have "in our neighborhood" and I stress in "our neighborhood" because everyone has
different circumstances and one bad vacation rental does not mean all vacation rentals are bad.
Anyway ... we have a constant problem with long term rentals around us being occupied by way more
people than should be in a space and often times these are young partiers, sometimes college
houses with 4 kids to a room. Its ridiculous! They leave their trash all over the street, throw their
cigarettes all over, use foul language all day long, and constantly have parties. In fact, a few times,
I've had people call me thinking it must be our vacation rental making noise, only for me to drive to
our rental and see that it's a long term rental near us partying again. So often times we take the
blame for issues in the neighborhood that have nothing to do with us, people just assume we are the
culprit because we are a vacation rental.
I have managed to create listings on Airbnb and VRBO that discourage young people and partiers
from making a reservation. It is really easy. In the ad, you make it clear up front that your age
requirement must be met ( my age requirement is 30 yrs ), I also state many times over that there is
no partying, no visitors to the house, no parking behind the garage, I re -iterate the maximum number
of people permitted to stay, I discourage people from bringing multiple vehicles, etc..) And after a
reservation is made, I re -iterate all of that and again and ask them to confirm that ALL people coming
to the house understand and can comply with all of my rules. I also let them know I will be personally
checking them in. I believe this has helped me from attracting the wrong types of renters and thus my
neighbors have no problems with us. I could tell you stories and stories of problems I've had with my
neighbors though. From the drug addict living in the garage roaming around defecating in the alleys
and smoking drugs on our steps, to the drug dealer who gets quite chatty with all of my guests and
kind of scares them, to the party houses, the college kids that move out and leave all of their
belongings in the alley every summer leaving us to call for pick up and have to look at it all for week, it
goes on and on. I regularly clean the streets around us of the trash, cigarettes and all kinds of yukky
stuff I don't want to mention. My neighbors thank me all the time. Before I check in a guest I have to
do all of this, otherwise they would look out their dining room window and see it all, their kids would
step on the glass and they would never want to come back to Newport.
Interestingly my property at 7205 Seashore does not have as many of these issues with the long term
renters. We have mostly home owners occupying the houses around us at this property and these
neighbors have also been welcoming to us. They all have my telephone number and we
communicate well. They see how hard I work to check people in -quickly and smoothly. Making sure
people get unpacked quickly and cars parked so they don't block the alley. I have signs on our
balcony stating the hours for noise on balcony (and I remind them that my beach front neighbors all
have bedrooms on the alley, etc..) I have had problems with our neighbors parking behind their own
garages so that my renters can't get their car out of our garage, but I make very sure that my tenants
never do that to them. Things like this happen to us all of the time but no one really cares because we
are just a business and it seems that the same rules don't apply to them because they are full time
occupants. They don't fear losing a business license if they park behind us and block us in or have a
party and keep our guests up all night, etc ... but again we don't experience as many problems at this
property.
I also think if the city didn't make renovations and repairs so difficult in our area that more people
would spend money on keeping up their houses and we would start to attract long term renters that
care about their surroundings. As it is now, everyone is scared to death to update anything for fear of
the code enforcers / inspectors coming out and finding a million other things that need to be brought
up to code or each one tells you something different costing you a TON of time, money and
frustration. But this is an entirely different subject.
In closing, I do think there are many things we can do to regulate the vacation rental business that
would possibly make those "bad" ones behave more responsibly or lose their license if warranted, but
I don't think random rules made up by people that have never run a vacation rental in Newport Beach
or rely on this income to feed their families should just arbitrarily make up these rules. And .... We are
not Santa Monica, San Francisco or Washington D.C. so I don't think we can adopt their same rules
to deal with the unique problems that we have. Newport Beach was founded on these vacation
homes and many people have been coming here for 30 + years enjoying the ocean and a well
deserved family vacation. There are very few places left where you can rent a home on the beach
and many families can't afford to rent a hotel for a large family. Don't ruin years of great memories for
these families because someone had a bad experience with a vacation rental. Penalize the problem
vacation rental not all of us. And ... If the city was able to clean up the long term rentals around our
vacation rentals we all would be better off. Newport Beach should also focus on it's long term rentals
that have ZERO rules imposed on them. Too many people per room, dilapidated buildings, all night
parties, trash all over the streets, it's ruining our city!
Thank you for listening and I'd be happy to share my thoughts and experience if anyone is interested.
I've attached a letter I received from the West Newport Beach Association for your information. This is
what I'm basing my letter to you on. And I've copied and pasted the questions they thought should be
answered for tomorrow's meeting below.
1. Why did you move to West Newport?
To be near the beach
2. Would you like to live next door to a short-term rental? Why or why not?
Silly question ... no one will answer yes to this question. SERIOUSLY?!
3. What regulations would you like to see adopted to mitigate the problems caused by short term
rentals?
Vacation rentals should have a property manager to check in every guest.
Vacation rentals should have at least 1 parking spot per unit.
Vacation rentals should have higher minimum age limits (at least 25 but I prefer 30)
Vacation rentals should always provide trash bags for guests and show them where the trash cans
are.
Vacation rentals should state clearly the noise rules for patios/balconies.
Vacation rentals should state clearly the number of people permitted per room.
Vacation rentals should state clearly no parties of any kind and no visitors to the house without prior
permission.
Vacation rentals should have property manager telephone numbers on signs in at least two locations
on the building.
Vacation rentals that consistently have issues should lose their license.
Best wishes,

To West Newport Association Members:
The West Newport Beach association is gathering input relating to problems with short-
term rentals in the City of Newport Beach. The City Council will address the issue on
Tuesday, June 23, 2020. We have been getting complaints from residents about short-
term rentals. One neighbor wrote: "It has gotten even worse than just the neighbors
simply having a party now. On Wednesday around 6PM, our neighbor who rents out
the house as a short-term rental was raided by the police. All of a sudden more than a
dozen police officers with their guns drawn, wearing bulletproof vests with a search
warrant at hand stormed the house and arrested the tenants. It was truly a scary event!
With sadness I sent away my granddaughter to return back to her home in San
Francisco due to safety."
"I am a full time resident and I am fearful to live here. I was told they confiscated kilos
of drugs and guns. We live in a nice neighborhood and the rest of us ill this area have
been full-time residents for over a decade. I am sure if they rented out to yearly tenants
the neighborhood would be a much safer place to live. Is there any way we could take
away their short-term rental permit? Please help!!"
The City of Santa Monica adopted a new law making it illegal to rent out your entire
home for short term rentals. The owner must also live on the premises. The United
States District Court upheld the law and did not find it in violation with the Coastal Act.
With the owner on the premises, there is less chance of being awakened by partying
when you have to go to work and your children have to go to school the next day.
The Santa Monica City website explained their reasons for the new law.
"Why can't I rent my own property for a short period while I'm away?"
The City answered, "Vacation rentals can have detrimental impacts on the character of
residential neighborhoods by turning homes into de facto hostels or hotels, by leading to
excessive noise and safety concerns, and by monopolizing available parking. The City
has a responsibility to mitigate these impacts..." "The law applies to all zoning districts,
limits occupancy to two persons per bedroom and fines start at $1000 per day per
violation."
Cities from San Francisco to Washington D.C. have researched the problems and found
short-term rentals "Create a concentration of what are effectively unsafe hotels,
upsetting quiet residential neighborhoods with more traffic and persons who don't care
about the neighborhood. They alter neighborhood character while introducing new
safety risks and force neighborhoods and cities to bear the costs of their business." In
short, hosts get the money and residents get the noise, traffic and degradation of the
neighborhood. Many cities now limit short-term rentals to 60 or 90 days a year.
Please reply to this email with your views today or A.S.A.P so we can help protect our
quality of life in West Newport Beach. Please share this survey with your friends and
neighbors.
1. Why did you move to West Newport?
2. Would you like to live next door to a short-term rental? Why or why not?
3. What regulations would you like to see adopted to mitigate the problems caused by
short term rentals?
Thank you,

Hello,
I understand the council is voting on rules surrounding short term rentals in Newport tomorrow. I have a duplex in
Newport on 35th Street that I rent out for vacation rentals and that is my sole source of income. I'm very concerned
about making it permanently mandatory to have a minimum stay of 4 days. From Sept - May, I allow 3 day rentals. In
the summer, I only have a 4 -day minimum because more people are coming for a summer vacation versus a weekend
getaway during the rest of the months. I only allow 3 -day rentals in the summer if I end up with a gap after getting
booked with the longer stays. Last summer, for example, I only had 4 3 -day reservations in all of June/July/August and I
was sold out during those three months. In 2019, 1 had a total of 116 reservations between the two units and 35 of
those were for 3 days - that represents 30% of my reservations. I don't want to lose that business. During September -
May, many people come for Thurs-Sun.
I've been renting my duplex for two years now and have never had a nuisance complaint. I check in regularly with my
neighbors (on both sides and across the street) to ensure they are having no concerns about my rentals. They have
been very supportive.
Anyway, I just wanted to add my two cents to the discussion. I really want the option to still offer three-day rentals.
Sincerely,
1

Subject: Two Ordinances - Short Term Rentals
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
To the Newport Beach City Council:
We are writing because we need the city council's support for fair regulations and support of short-term rentals. We are
distraught that the city council continues to work to ban short-term rentals in the city of Newport Beach. We are a small
business and have kept moving forward with our business plans and rentals based on representation that the city of
Newport Beach has made. We comply with all the rules and regulations you require, and have spoken repeatedly with
Ellen Brenan to ensure that we follow all the rules the city imposes. Every time you make a change, we have
adjusted. We are now doing three-day rentals only. We stopped the short -term -rentals when you had the ordinance in
April -May, brought in health workers and SUBSIDIZED the rent at a loss for us. Did any of you open your homes to
health workers during the crisis?
If your concern is about big companies taking many leases and renting huge numbers of properties, please note that we
are local with only 2 properties. Do not let those big companies affect people that have few properties and are
conscientious like us. Limit the number of properties that companies can rent short-term. If management companies can
rent short-terrm, why can't we? Why is what we do different from management companies?
We care deeply about the kinds of guests we have at our two properties making sure we are good neighbors and
excellent hosts. We have responsibilities to our landlord and are responsible for any damages. We make sure our guests
are vetted, that there are no parties, that noise levels are kept low between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
It appears you make blanket assumptions that short-term rentals are not good for the city, and that the people that do
short-term rentals are somehow undesirable, slum lords or uncaring absentee landlords. We are the opposite of
this. Our business thrives based on managing the two properties with care and personalized attention. We love what
we do, and it is truly disconcerting that the city council continues to work on destroying the century -long legacy of
rentals in the city of Newport Beach.
In advance, we thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Short Term Rentals on Newport Island
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO:NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know. the °content is safe.
To all City Council Members,
I find myself in the middle of a very heated battle between the owners of the STR's and the residents of Newport Island as
do you. I am the current President of the newly reignited community association and it is my responsibility to act in the
best interest of our island community and preserve the quality of life for the families and residents that live here. One of
the first things we did over the last 2 - 3 weeks is put out a survey to see how our residents felt about our island life and
community as a whole and what they thought about STR's on the island. The results (not surprisingly) were very pro
island life and community and very pro toward controlling STR's to 30 days or more (thus attracting a different caliber of
rental guest). I do want to say that there are some good players that respect the island community and their neighbors
when renting short term (some owners live in the front unit and rent out the back unit, they thoroughly vet the guests, they
impose strict rules and even loss of deposits and they provides adequate parking), unfortunately there are several bad
actors that don't live there, never lived here or forgot was it was like to live here and completely disrespect their neighbors
and the island as a whole.
We thought we could find a balance between the STR's and the community, but this seems to be more of a challenge
than originally anticipated because we don't know what 17 short term rentals at the same time looks like (most of these
permits were just approved in the 12-18 months and this would have been the first season but COVID hit and shut them
down). Prior to the shut down we were being hit from every angle with more problems than we ever had before (parking,
speeding, noise, out of control parties, disrespectful guests, urinating in public, dogs in the channel, guests passed out on
the patios, multiple calls to the police, etc.). This island has prided itself in being a strong residential community , very tight
knit with people that know one another and care about the health and well being of their neighbors and their kids. Now we
are on the verge of being overrun by a transient population to a level which this small island has never seen before and
we are truly concerned on what this will look like if allowed to continue without serious changes.
We would prefer 30+ rentals to attract a better clientele along with stricter enforcement of noise and nuisance laws with
heavy penalties for abusing these laws, when these rules are broken code enforcement is present or available (all hours)
to issue violations and then suspensions and revoking of licenses is enforced. Capping the permits so that no more can
be issued. Parking requirements, guests to bedroom ratios enforced, noise monitoring by the management group,
management available to handle problems within 25-45 minutes of complaints. We need the city council to help us get our
island back and if these STR's are to continue we want it cleaned up or we will continue to press the issue.
All of these STR owners live in nice neighborhoods just like you and I guarantee that you nor they would want to be going
through what we are facing. I know of one Newport Island STIR owner who just had Short term rentals banned from his
city because of the same problems we are having. So it appears it is OK to have them in my neighborhood, but not his.
Actually, no one wants this nonsense ruining their neighborhood and destroying their quality of life, including NEWPORT
ISLAND RESIDENTS!
Lastly, there are three groups making money on these STR's, the management companies 20-25%, the owners even
more than the management companies, and the city through fees, permits and license , yet the only ones paying the price
are the owners and residents of Newport Island.
My questions to you
Would you put up with this in your neighborhood? Do you think it is fair to the owners and residents of Newport Island?
Thank you for your time

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
I am writing the city clerks office this note is to show my disapproval of any sort of legislation or rules regarding the
regulations of short term rentals on Balboa Island.
Many seniors with restricted incomes depend on this income when they rent out their granny flats and putting any
restrictions on such a rental income only hurts the people that have made this community so wonderful over the past
few generations.
It is not the job of our city leaders to regulate how people earn their money with properties that they own. It is a job of
city legislatures to legislate in order to protect and better enable the right to the persist of happiness those who live
here and pay their taxes into the system.
As far as my personal experience, the Airbnb system and other short term networks work efficiently screen potential
tenants effectively and the personal business of a property owner is no business of our city legislatures. In fact putting
limitations on their ability to earn a living with their own properties I s an infringement upon their constitutional rights of
free enterprise.
I urge you to vote no against any restrictions regarding short term rentals on Balboa island. Thank you, Alex Izbicki

I will try to attend and if not attend, call in.
Dear Council Members,
Thanks again for your service to the community.
Short term housing: My position has changed some. I used to think that the problem was solely a problem of short term
rentals, but recently I have seen that the problem is proper vetting out of the tenants, both short term and month to
month.
I know of one property that seems to have shifted from STR to month to month and the month to month tenants are
worse than most of the STR tenants. What I see is that all homeowners or vacation rental property managers are not
equal. Rental property that has homeowners on site, don't generate the nuisances that a rental property that is
managed off site create.
I want to inquire about enforcement for code violators. The police are coming out to break up parties at the same
house, time after time. Are they being fined? Are they paying the fine?
Bridge congestion: The police are coming out time and time again to ADVISE the kids not to jump off the bridge. Why
are they not being CITED? The kids are back within 20 minutes. I feel that the absence of enforcement is fueling their
behavior.
Is it possible to assign these code violations to some other department other than the police department? We can't
expect the police to monitor this all day. I'm sure they have other duties that warrant their attention. We are all
hoping that no serious injury occurs but between the jumping and the congestion, I fear something will happen.

Good evening,
I understand short term renting has been an issue for many permanent residents on the peninsula and island. I realize at
times, residents may be confronted with unfortunate issues which over time can result in you determining whether the
city should still allow short term rentals. I would say let's not let a few situations ruin it for everyone else. There will
always be parking issues. There will always be people not being respectful as we would like. I believe the focus should be
better vetting of incoming guests. Let guests know parties are banned. Have the city make sure citations are issued to
those guests if they do not obey the rules. Set the minimum night stay to 3 night should help the possibility of any
parties. I mean isn't this what its really about. Traffic and parties. The homes are a huge revenue source for the city. I
dont see the need to ban the program.

RE: Non -Conforming Sign Amendment
The City of Newport Beach knows the importance of appearances — especially when it
comes to keeping our community appealing for residents and attractive to tourists and
new businesses. Small-town charm defines Corona Del Mar. Our historic buildings,
unique architecture, and distinctive personality provide a welcoming aesthetic to
residents and visitors alike.
Part of that charm comes from the unique signage found on buildings on Pacific Coast
Highway. What keeps Corona Del Mar from feeling like an over -planned city void of
personality is that not everything looks alike. As a property owner, resident, and landlord
of Corona Del Mar, I strongly disagree with the City's plan to require non -conforming
signs to be removed. Specifically, I support an amendment to eliminate the deadline for
removal of non -conforming signs.
Now more than ever, small businesses need the support of our community. I urge City
Council to allow businesses to standout and leave their mark with the existing signage
that has made Corona Del Mar the unique place it is today.
Best Regards,
Phil Berry

Good afternoon. I live at 3714 Channel Place and have for the last 20 years. I would like to take this opportunity to
comment on the upcoming meeting June 23rd, specifically my thoughts on this ongoing saga that seems to permeate
Newport Island.
I am not opposed in any way to "absentee" owners renting the property they own responsibly for profit, why would
anyone. That should include basic rules or safeguards however.
I have read the wording for the June 23, 2020 agenda No. 19.
1 am troubled about the parking problems, I live directly across the street from 3717 Channel. That home has maybe a 1
car garage! If the cars are compact. Yet it is listed as a 4 or 5 bedroom house? NO PARKING for 8-12 people because
it is surrounded by red curbs? Constant parking issues.
The problems that occur with short term rentals, be it 3 or 4 day are in no particular order, unruly and barking dogs left
unattended and allowed to do their business without regard of clean up, blocking streets (see 3717) or at red
curbs, inhibiting driveway ingress and egress, blocking sidewalks (see 3717) so that they are impassible, parking at or
blocking fire hydrants etc. you surely get the idea. STIR tenants DO NO CARE about a parking ticket, or animal
control, but just wait until a fire truck or ambulance can't get by, then all hell will break loose.
Also the unruly gatherings and AMPLIFIED sound well after 10:OOPM seems to go on and on without any enforcement,
and the inability to contact the rental firms used by the absentee owners is an issue.
It does seem that the rental firms don't bother to vet the STIR tenants.
The lack of enforcement by the City of Newport Beach is quite troubling in regards to parking and police enforcement, as
well as inspections and actual vetting of the properties?
My opinion 3-4 day STIR are problematic, make the parking on this particular portion of Newport Beach impossible to
navigate safely.
A 30 day minimum at least makes sense, and allows those tenants to get the feeling of the neighborhood that has
deteriorated in the last few years which are the very reasons I moved to Newport Island.

I hope all is well! I wanted to give you an update and send you some pictures and video from 3717 Channel this
weekend. I think two parking citations were given out Thursday and Saturday. I called to complain about them being
out until midnight in the back deck and having two big dogs out at 6:30 am in the morning which woke up the
neighbors who live on the water along with them talking.
I hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend! Now back to the theme of our pain is your pain.
Would you want a business next to your home? Especially when not currently accountable. A second
email later with more pictures will follow.
I am forwarding a previous email that was sent to some of you regarding short term renters who are
allowed to bring dogs without a fenced in back yard at 3717 Channel and then let them loose into our
channel during low tide or other times with no disregard as if it is their personal back yard. There have
been multiple dogs more than 3 or times in the last year. Some dogs run around including on my dock at
low tide and others jump in after the ducks, stingrays and whatever else.
Please see the pictures of what they leave behind. How is bringing transient, irresponsible short-term
rental on the water without appropriate fencing or yard any type of restrictions positive for the charter of
the Coastal Commission? The Newport Island residents on the channel cannot do any work without a
permit from Coastal Commission but short-term rentals can allow habitat destruction and leave. They are
the same dogs that bark because they are not used to the area and can see anything that goes by
including the wildlife, boats, kayakers, etc. Why the short-term renters leave the dogs in a new
environment lock up inside or with the backdoor open all day why they are having fun we the permanent
neighbors get to listen to them bark and moan all day.
I have notified Advanstay,com. and Code Enforcement and sent pictures and all we get is more multiple
dog situations. The same people trespassed on my property to wash the channel mud of my deck and
dock while we were on our boat so we would not see it happened. I noticed right away and contacted
AvantStay.com. They did nothing. The owner is also aware but nonresponsive and wants me to talk to
his attorney with any issues. This is the same person listed in the Newport Beach Short Term City
directory as a contact with his phone number.
Please ban short term rentals on Newport Island. in the interim if there is and in the interim, please hold
the owners and operators responsible by making them be owner occupied ( Santa Monica and other
cities ), much higher fines, inspections, limit the amount of total people to 7 or less depending on the size
of the lot, house and real bedrooms. Illegal parking, fireworks, etc. should count towards a permit
infraction. Eliminate subleases for short term rentals where the owner is off the hook. If DAC
( Disturbance Activation Card ) is 8 or more people than allowing permits over 7 occupants are asking for
a party on Newport Island. It is a neighborhood not STIR hub. There are many more restrictions not
mentioned in this email. Make it easy for Code Enforcement to enforce and pull permits. Make STIR fees
and fines more expensive to cover the costs of having dedicated police to enforce the STR's 24 hours a
day. The hotels have to bear that expense whey do the STIR owners have no skin in the game. They
make money and the neighbors suffer in our own neighborhoods. Our pain should be the owner,
operator, short term renter pain. Any further residential pain should be eliminated immediately. We live

Hello City of Newport Beach. I am writing to voice my support for short term rentals.
My sister and I bought our first Newport Beach property this past January. We purchased it as a part-time home for our
elderly father. He lives in Spain half the year and needs lodging in Newport during the months he's here. The only way
we can afford this solution for him is if we rent the home 3 months per year. Although it would be ideal, a long term
(monthly tenant) for 3 months is not feasible - given the new tenant -rights laws in California. Also, at his age, we need a
home that will be available to our dad on short notice, if he is injured or ill. The ultimate goal is for this house to
eventually become his permanent home.
Because of this plan, we are very selective about who we rent to. Guests must abide by strict house rules protecting the
home and its neighbors. We only advertise on sites that pre-screen guests and allow us to interview potential renters.
We believe that a harmonious balance can be established between STL owners and their surrounding residential
neighbors. Especially when the owners' goal is not pure profit - as in our case.
Balboa has been renting cottages since the 1920's, and the tourism that followed benefited all of Orange County.
Likewise, the tax revenue from this long tradition funds Newport's many civic interests. The city needs this money now
more than ever!
Please consider these points, and the challenge of owners like us, before making any rash decision on the future of Short
Term Lodging.
Thank you,
Tresa Holloway

The short term rental situation is out of control. Even as an owner of a short term rental myself, I am now against it and
have not rented out my short term rental this season and do not plan to.
I write in favor of banning the short term rentals going forward.
I also write in favor of additional policing/enforcement of the maximum capacity at short term rentals to prevent excess
guests and unwanted parties. An increasingly popular use of the rentals is for parties of all kinds (graduation,
bachelorette, birthday, sweet 16 and many others). While the maximum capacity might be observed during sleeping
hours, I have witnessed that the maximum capacity is far exceeded during the day/evening for parties. This creates
parking issues, noise issues, and overall frustration and interference with the use and enjoyment of our property for
those of us who need this neighborhood to resemble a residential neighborhood rather than a party scene/hotel lobby.

To Whom It May Concern,
As a Newport Beach resident and property owner, I would like to express my opinions on the two new ordinances
pertinent to short-term rentals. Generally speaking, I support the short-term rental business in the city as our city is a
tourist destination and many residents rely on short -rental income, which in turn support property values. I also support
measures that minimize negative impact on neighborhoods.
• Ban short-term rentals in single-family homes: OPPOSE. There should be measures in place to minimize any negative
impact. Single-family houses shouldn't be treated differently than condos/townhouses. if there were any difference, it
should be more lax as neighbors are not on top of each other.
• Ban renters from short-term renting. OPPOSE. As long as the rentals are operated properly, it is not government's
responsibility to tell people how to run their business. In this case, an power may want to rent a property to a long-term
tenant like a triple -net lease for the ease of management, then a renter, who may be a property manage company, is willing
to take on a more active role and sub -lease it as a short-term rental. As long as the short-term rental is run properly, they
should be left alone.
• Require owners to obtain a business license and submit a nuisance response plan when applying. SUPPORT. Again, we need
to make sure that rentals, long-term or short-term need to be run properly.
• Require all short-term stays on Newport Island to be a minimum of 4 nights. Somewhat OPPOSE. I don't know the specifics,
but generally speaking, everyone should be treated the same way.
Your thoughtful consideration will be much appreciated.

Re: Short Term Rentals
Dear City Council,
I'm writing to express a concern about short term rentals in Newport Beach.
In addition to all the other issues associated with STRs, including affordability, I worry that as these lucrative units begin to
proliferate the number of dwelling units that are counted toward meeting our RHNA obligation decreases. As you
undoubtedly know 4800 additional dwellings need to be found, and every time a property is converted from being a residence
into a short term rental it is no longer counted as part of our housing stock for RHNA purposes.
Thank you,
Andrea (Andy) Lingle

Dear City Clerk and Council Members,
I understand that the City Council will be discussing rules that would impact Short -Term Lodging in Newport Beach this
afternoon. Per Airbnb and VRBO, items to be discussed today are the following:
• Ban short-term rentals in single-family homes - Please BAN CONDOS from being STL's since most
CC&R's prohibit them from doing this. Prior to the City issuing them permits we had year-round
residents living on our streets. Now, many of these properties have been sold to investors who use
management companies to rent them as vacation rentals. It's sad to see these properties vacant during
the winter months. We miss having full-time neighbors.
• Ban renters from short-term renting - Please do not. There is a market for vacation properties on the
Peninsula but they should be better regulated. No more than two people per bedroom and maybe two
extra in a living room. Strict rules on visiting guests, etc,..
• Require owners to obtain a business license and submit a nuisance response plan when applying. All
owners should have a business license and STL permit. No need for a nuisance plan if the
owners/managers are following the rules in screening their tenants properly. NBPD should
communicate each disturbance call on STL's to Code Enforcement and STL permits should not be
renewed if more than 3 complaints have been made on a property.
• Require all short-term stays on Newport Island to be a minimum of 4 nights - Newport Island should
not allow short-term lodging at all, nor should any of the islands be allowed to offer stays shorter than
30 days. The islands throughout Newport Beach have long been known as family neighborhoods. Short -
Term properties do not need to operate there. We want full-time residents living here.
As a full-time Peninsula resident, property owner, and onsite property manager of a vacation rental since 2008, 1 have
first-hand witnessed changes in the local Short Term Lodging industry and our neighborhood. When we first began
renting our 1 bedroom/1 bathroom rental short-term Burr White Realty did me a favor in denying me their management
services. They claimed to not manage any properties on the two hundred blocks of the Peninsula (no market for it), thus
prompting me to get my own business license and STL Permit. -Clearly times have changed; I was forced to manage my
own place but by doing so, I know my guests, take pride in my property, and promote the local businesses to my guests.
I can attest that the problems with STL's are first and foremost due to poor property mismanagement and two, the City
of Newport Beach granting STL's to properties that should never have become vacation rentals.
I do hope that changes will be made and implemented properly. We have a beautiful community here but we need full-
time residents with pride of ownership not just investors buying properties to make them vacation rentals.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Schmieder

I am the owner of 409 38th St. Newport Beach. The property has been owned by my family since 1946 and over the
years we have seen many changes.
My property is located between two short term rentals and I saw that the police have answered several calls over the
past week in the 400 block of 38th St for Party disturbances.
Unfortunately I am isolated in Palm Desert at this time due to the virus however my son and his family are living on my
property and have advised me of numerous problems with noise and parking. In fact the property at 407 38th St. has a
hot tub on the roof and people party in it at all hours of the night. I was under the impression that one of the property
owners lived in the back unit of said property however does nothing to bring an end to the noise.
Parking has been a problem recently due to the loss of spaces given to new construction. The Short Term Rentals
contribute to the situation. We property owners and tax payers are becoming second class citizens and our rights are
being ignored.
Please hear out the property owners who appear tonight expressing problems with the proliferation of Short Term
Rentals in Newport Beach and do something to alleviate the problems.

This is PUBLIC INFORMATION, and "We" Want to Know -
"HOW MANY "OWNERS" OF THESE SHORT TERM RENTAL PERMITS, ARE "PERMANENT NEWPORT

How is it Possible for THE NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL to Place the "PROFITS" of these "Out -Of -
Town" Short Term Rental Owners, Over the Health, Safety, and OVERWHELMING "DESIRE" of the
RESIDENTS YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE REPRESENTING?? DURING A PANDEMIC?
Many of these STIR "Owners", DO NOT RESIDE, and are NON-RESIDENTS of Newport Beach! Many are
From Foriegn Countries, and Only "USE" and "DESTROY" Newport Beach for their Own "PROFITS".
NB CC, Please Remember Many Of these STIR Owners are NON- VOTING, NOW RESIDENTS, and "YOU"
NB CC are capitulating to the Demands of these SHORT TERM RENTAL COMPANIES, and Ignoring those
who VOTE FOR YOU!!" DURING A PANDEMIC!!!
If it is "Impossible" for the Local Residents of Newport Beach to Safely Social Distance "6" FEET APART AT
"OUR" OWN HOMES (OUR "SANCTUARY" From this Vlrus), because our Homes are less than 6 Feet Away,
then ALL STR's SHOULD BE BANNED Until it is Possible, or their is a Vaccine!!
Newport Beach City Council, "You" Chose Previously to "ONLY" Protect, Marine Ave, Balboa Island, The
Letter Streets Down (On Pen) and Lido Island with "Resident Only Parking", Now you are going to make
Special Ordinances for Newport Island!!
had to "Verify" this, but it appears that the "Local" Residents of the Newport Beach Peninsula have a case
against the Newport Beach City Council as you are in Direct Violation of the, " Equal Protection" Clause in the
California Constitution! ""(ARTICLE I DECLARATION OF RIGHTS [SECTION 1 - SEC. 32] SEC. 7.
""(b) A citizen or class of citizens may not be granted privileges or immunities not granted on the same
terms to all citizens. Privileges or immunities granted by the Legislature may be altered or revoked.""
You The NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL are Picking and Choosing Who you are Protecting During this
Pandemic, and You Diane Dixon and Will Oneill are Sending the Message LOUD AND CLEAR, That The Local
Residents that Live One the Peninsula....
1. NB CC Will "NOT" Protect You, and ONLY CARES ABOUT.... OUT OF TOWN PROFITS!
2. NB CC Refuses to Recognize that the "NUMBERED" Streets on the Peninsula, are the "Most" Impacted
and "Most" At Risk from these Out of Town Tourists flying in 2-3x a Week 6ft From Our Homes! NEWPORT
BEACH CITY COUNCIL WILL NOT PROTECT YOU!!
3. NB CC Cares MORE about Short Term Rentals "Profits" over the Health and Safety of its "LOCAL"
Residents!!
I believe that there was Collusion between the Newport Beach City Council and these Short Term Rental
Companies to Lift the Emergency Ordinance Early! I sent this email to Diane Dixon May 15, 2020, and NEVER
RECEIVED A RESPONSE SO I ASK AGAIN!......
1. Which Newport Beach Citizen brought The Motion to Vote to "Remove" the STR Ban during this Pandemic
2. Provide the Outcomes of the Violations during this Ban!
What are the Addresses of the Units that "We" as Local Residents Reported, who Violated the STR
BAN.
How many violations were Reported and How many were given out! I have 2 on my street that multiple
neighbors reported different sets of Renters, which is 2x violations.. = Revocation For 1 Year
How Many and fWhat are the Name and Address and the Violators that You REVOKED THEIR
PERMITS!
3. How many of the People on the STR Permit Lists who have STR Permits are "ACTUAL RESIDENTS" of
Newport Beach!
4. Was there Prior Knowledge Given to the STR companies PRIOR TO THE VOTE On Tuesday, that "You" &
NB CC would be overturning the ban? (Because they were all filled up, before the Ban was Lifted)
May 15, 2020,
(This is Public Information)
I believe We Need an INVESTIGATION Into the Newport Beach City Council! Especially, Will O'Neil, Diane
Dixon, and Kevin Muldoon) Regarding the Collusion between the NB CC and STR Companies and the Early
Removal of the "Temporary Ban On STR's) During this Pandemic!
Finally, You as The Newport Beach City Council should be ashamed, Trying to Pass "Permanent" Short Term
Rental Changes...
1. During a Pandemic
2. A little over a Week Before 4th Of July, Where "I" am SERIOUSLY Concerned about the VIOLENCE,
SOCIAL UNREST, and Riots that are Coming on the 4th Of July In NB.
3. While There are Riots Going On across the Country
4. While Santa Ana is Having "Social Unrest" (TODAY) and has Implemented a Curfew, That Can Easily
Spread to NB
5. While NB CC Has Directed the NBPD to NOT Enforce OUR LAWS- My NEIGHBORS AND I Have "NEVER"
seen this level of Lawlessness On the Peninsula Before, MY WHOLE LIFE!
6. NB CC can NOT, Or "Refuses" To Safely Protect Its Residents From the CRIME and THIS VIRUS!!!
7. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL and You Are FAILING US!!
hope You as the Newport Beach City Council, think of THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR YOU, The "LOCAL"

Dear NB City Council Members:
have been a NI resident since 2009. My opinions have not changed since my prior email I submitted a few
months ago in February 2020 (see below email) before COVD-19, in fact I feel even more strongly that the STR
should be banned on NI not only due to the constant parking and noise issues, but also being a public health
issue.
Back in 2009 when I moved here, NI was a quiet peaceful family neighborhood which is why I decided to move
here rather than be closer to the beach. I also specifically remember that the sellers took my offer over
another since they wanted someone to live there and not make it into a rental. I was single then with 2 dogs,
but now I am raising my young family here. I have a 4 and 5 year old and we could NOT use our patio last
summer. I did not want my young children to be subjected to the constant smoke from cigarettes and
marijuana use along with all the terrible loud foul language. I could not even keep my windows open and I do
not have A/C. Some weeks it was loud partying/music and drinking all night long on the patio and dock.
Additionally, practically every time I arrived to my house last summer, I could not park in front of my garage
due to it being blocked by the STR tenants next door. I had to get out of my car leaving my 2 kids inside, walk
next door and ask them to move their car so that I can park in front of my garage. This was a terrible
inconvenience to me on a daily basis. Now with the COVID pandemic, I should not have to walk next door to
ask them to move.
Last summer, I complained on a weekly basis to both the owners of the STR and to Burr White Realty who
managed it. I handled it the nice way and either called/sent texts with photos to them to deal with it
personally instead of escalating the problem. I spoke with Joan Trout (owner of Burr White) a few times about
it over the last few years. Last summer was the worst and this summer I will start logging complaints on the
city website or call the police.
I recently heard my STR next door is going to be rented for exactly 30 days starting July 1st to avoid being
termed a STR. I foresee this to be a problem.
I am open to options to deal with these issues such as one NI resident recently suggested following Santa
Monica's STR policy to where the owner must be living on the premises in order to rent out their property
nightly or weekly. I think this would really cut down on the STR issues. I guarantee the owners would hate
living on the premises with the people they rent to. My husband and I talk about it, the owners are not the
ones inconvenienced here, it is the residents who suffer.
I appreciate your time in making sure my concerns are addressed at the city council meeting tonight.

Hello Diane,
I attended the NB City Council Meeting on Tuesday 11 February 6:30PM as I was informed by a
neighbor that short term rentals on Newport Island was on the agenda. I brought my 2 young
children with me that night (no babysitter) and could not stay as I learned from the officers at
the door that the regular meeting would not start until 7PM, but that the study session was not
even completed. My husband and I decided that we could not sit through 30 minutes, let alone
2 hours with our 2 young children. I later heard from a neighbor that the issue was not
addressed at the meeting until 9PM, so I am glad I did not stay.
When will the short term rentals on Newport Island be addressed again with the city council? I
want to make sure I attend and would like to know the time I should be there.
Short term rentals on Newport Island is a major issue right now. I have lived here for 10 years
and last summer was one of the worst. I live next door to a short term rental and it is a constant
party everyday and every night! You expect this on the beach side over on Seashore, but not on
Newport Island. That is what made this island so special. When I first moved here, I was told by
my neighbors that everyone on the island either has dogs or kids which was true, but not
anymore. The family quiet residential feel is gone.
It is very unfortunate that we pay high taxes to live in a nice neighborhood that is now going
downhill by all the rowdy teenagers and twenty something year old tenants that arrive weekly
or for just a few nights. It is not normally families renting, it is groups of young adults in their
twenties or an adult renting it out for younger kids who is not on the property.
do not appreciate the bad language and cigarette/marjuana smoke next door to me and my
small children all hours of the day. I do not have A/C since I live at the beach and now I cannot
leave my windows open as we will be engulfed in 2nd hand smoke. Foul language, hiring DJ's to
play on the patio, partying on huge boats with music blaring when tenants are allowed to also
rent the boat slip from the property owner, loud music/yelling, peeing and smoking in the
street, trash, etc, PARKING is a constant issue since the tenants think it is fine to park on
neighbors property.
I have contacted the owner of the rental property and Burr White rental management company
multiple multiple times last summer with emails, phone calls and texts. It is a complete
inconvenience for me and my family to have to deal with this on a daily basis. I should be able
to come home and be able to park behind my garage to get my kids out of the car safely
without having to ask the renters every day to move their car and every week to move their
trash cans to their property.
This summer, I am going straight to the city with my complaints and pictures.
hope to hear from you soon as to how this issue is going to be addressed.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Newport City Council,
Two years ago I purchased 3801 Marcus on Newport Island. My family and I purchased the home as a second
residence, but also as a rental investment.
Ever since I can remember, my brother and I would jump off the 38th street bridge, ride bikes to the Frog House and enjoy
the beaches. If lucky, our parents would rent a home close to the beach - homes known as weeklys.
Today, I own the home next to the bridge that kids jump off. I want to offer our home as a place other families like mine
can enjoy. I've spent two years repairing and fixing the home so it can be a clean and respectful vacation home.
We'd prepared the home for rental when the city ban on rentals was placed. We waited for the May 20th, 2020 ban to be
lifted to realize the ban had been extended to only Newport Island. The rest of Newport Beach was open, but Newport
Island was soloed out by a group of homeowner's using the COVID 19 Pandemic as an excuse for a hidden agenda.
This island is no different than Balboa Island, it's same size streets and alleys, same lots sizes, and same density. It's
even more crowded considering the only real access is a similar bridge with 10 times the occupants. Balboa Island has
been given permission to rent, why not us.
For those of us that need to rent due to financial hardships in business. We're being restricted from the same rights the
rest of Newport Beach has been granted.
want good renters, I don't want my home destroyed or guests creating chaos, but the over exaggeration of Daily Pilot
articles and homeowners claims are inaccurate.
I urge the City Council to lift the ban on Short Term Rentals so we can at least recover the losses we have already
endured.
Thank you for your consideration
