Currently these streets have one -hour parking restrictions between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., except by permit, on days when school is in session. On June 14, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing to consider adopting Ordinance No. 2022-14, amending Section 12.68.060(C) of the Municipal Code to Remove Certain Streets from the Preferential Parking Program in Zone " 3", Eastbluff. For the City Council's consideration is the adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-14. 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) Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-14, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Amending Section 12.68.060(C) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to Remove Certain Streets from the Preferential Parking Program in Zone "3", Eastbluff. DISCUSSION: Municipal Code Section 12.68.060 authorizes the City Council to designate certain residential streets, or any portion thereof, as preferential parking zones for the benefit of residents adjacent thereto. Staff received a letter from the Eastbluff Homeowners Community Association (HCA) with a request to revise the Preferential Parking Zone "3" to remove Alder Place, Almond Place, and portions of Alta Vista Drive and Aleppo Street in the Eastbluff community. 3-1 Ordinance No. 2022-14: Eastbluff Preferential Parking Zone Revisions June 28, 2022 Page 2 At the June 14, 2022 City Council meeting, Resolution No. 2022-34 was introduced and adopted, limiting the parking of vehicles on Arbutus Street, Alta Vista Drive between Aralia Street and Arbutus Street, and on Aleppo Street between Aralia Street and Arbutus Street to one hour between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., except by permit, on days when school is in session.

The streets proposed to be removed from Zone "Y Eastbluff include Almond Place, Alder Place, Aleppo Street between Arbutus Street and end of street, and Alta Vista Drive between Arbutus Street and Aleppo Street. Staff recommends the City Council conduct the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-14. FISCAL IMPACT: There is minimal fiscal impact related to this item. The work would consist of removing parking signs only. No new signs are necessary. Two Public Works staff will spend approximately four hours removing signs and posts.
