TITLE: Ordinance No. 2020-25: Designating Portions of 61St and Lancaster
Streets in Newport Shores as One -Way Streets
ABSTRACT:
The Newport Shores Community Association recently submitted a letter requesting that
61 st Street from West Coast Highway to Newport Shores Drive be designated as one-way
in the northeast bound direction. Staff has reviewed and concurs with this request, and
recommends introducing an Ordinance amending Section 12.52.060 of the Municipal
Code to Designate Portions of Streets as One -Way Traffic Only. The streets are located
in the Newport Shores area, and include 61 st Street and Lancaster Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Waive full reading, read by title only, introduce Ordinance No. 2020-25, An Ordinance
of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Amending Section
12.52.060 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to Designate Portions of Streets as
One -Way Traffic Only, and pass to second reading on October 27, 2020.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:

designated as one-way in the northeast bound direction.

Ordinance No. 2020-25: Designating Portions of 61 st and Lancaster Streets
in Newport Shores as One -Way Streets
October 13, 2020
Page 2
This segment of 61 st Street is approximately 22 feet wide with parking on the west side of
the street. Due to the narrow nature of the street, the exiting 61St Street in the southbound
direction on to West Coast Highway can potentially be a difficult maneuver. In addition,
the northeast bound segment of 61St Street between Coast Boulevard and Lancaster
Street, and the northwest bound segment of Lancaster Street between 61St Street and
62nd Street have both been signed and operating as one-way streets for many years.
For these reasons, staff concurs with the request from the Newport Shores Community
Association. The proposed Ordinance will add these street segments to the Municipal
Code as One -Way Streets.
Staff recommends that Section 12.52.060 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code be
amended by adding the following streets in Newport Shores as one-way streets:
Sixty-first Street from West Coast Highway to Newport Shores Drive.
Northeast bound traffic only.
Sixty-first Street from Coast Boulevard to Lancaster Street. Northeast
bound traffic only.
Lancaster Street from Sixty-first Street to Sixty-second Street. Northwest
bound traffic only.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

Re: Request for 61" Street One Way Designation — West Coast Highway to Newport Shores Drive
Dear Ms. Leung,
The Newport Shores Community Association (NSCA) is comprised of approximately 450 homes in
the West Newport Beach area of the City of Newport Beach. Our Association is responsible for
maintaining a one -acre clubhouse community area that is for the membership that includes a
college size pool, tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, tot lot and sand beach BBQ area.
The NSCA Board of Directors consists of eleven elected members from the community.
At our June Board Meeting this letter was authorized by unanimous vote to request 61"Street to be
designated as One Way from West Coast Highway to Newport Shores Drive (see exhibit on back).
This is supported by the Newport Channel Inn owners, who are cc'd here. If approved, they would
also request a No Outlet sign be installed on Newport Shores Drive at 62nd to avoid motorist from
getting stuck at their hotel and using their property as an exit to West Coast Highway. This request
was also discussed when you attended our Annual Meeting in 2019.
We have seen countless near misses with cars leaving the neighborhood as cars are turning from
the fast moving West Coast Highway. Even worse, when 61" Street motorist ignore the No Left
Turn and venture across three lanes to head south on Coast Highway. This can be challenging as
cars speed thru the area on a regular basis (a subject for another letter).
Thank you for your consideration and should you have any questions please do not hesitate to
contact me at (714) 342-3289.
Best regards,
Rene imling President
Newport Shores mmunity Association
