Webb, Public Works Director - 949-644-3311, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Antony Brine, City Traffic Engineer, tbrine@newportbeachca.gov PHONE: 949-644-3329 TITLE: Resolution No. 2022-27: Overnight Parking Prohibition on Old Newport Boulevard ABSTRACT: Staff has been observing a number of vehicles parking long-term along Old Newport Boulevard between 15th Street and Hospital Road. There have been a number of litter, pollution and safety issues associated with the long-term parking. A resolution has been prepared to prohibit overnight parking between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily on both sides of this segment of Old Newport Boulevard. 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) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-27, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Prohibiting Overnight Parking on Old Newport Boulevard between 15th Street and Hospital Road. DISCUSSION: Overnight and long-term parking has become a problem along Old Newport Boulevard south of 15th Street. There have been issues with littering, pollution, dumping of waste, and safety concerns. A resolution has been prepared that, if adopted, would prohibit overnight parking on Old Newport Boulevard between 15th Street and Hospital Road from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. There are numerous medical offices along this segment of Old Newport Boulevard, with most closing at 5 p.m. There is only one business that closes at 9 p.m. There will be no impacts to business parking. Staff believes the prohibition of overnight parking should eliminate the potential for continuing problems. 6-1 Resolution No. 2022-27: Overnight Parking Prohibition on Old Newport Boulevard May 10, 2022 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: Cost for installing signage will be approximately $3,000 for materials and labor. There are sufficient funds in the operating budget to absorb these costs. 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.
