Commissioner Balalis also expressed his concern that
this area could become similar to the arcades at the
Fun Zone. He further stated that video game
applications should not be considered until after the
Video Game Ordinance is in effect.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the Video Game
Ordinance contains criteria for video game uses and
also provides that the Planning Commission can waive
these standards upon considering and making the proper
findings.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Mr. Laycock stated that the applicant is currently
requesting to utilize the area adjacent to the
courtyard for the video game operation. He stated that
at the end of the one year lease term, the applicant
would then expand his video game operation into the
area adjacent to East Ocean Front. Mr. Laycock stated
• that until the one year lease term expires, the
applicant will be utilizing approximately 418 square
feet. He stated that the applicant is requesting 40
machines at this time, so that the use permit would not
have to be amended when he begins utilizing the leased
space.
In response to a question posed by Chairman King,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that building permits
may be required for the removal of the interior walls.
He stated that the removal of the interior walls may be
necessary for the requirement of the adult supervisor.
Ms. Georgia Mahoney, resident of 814 East Ocean Front,
and representing two other property owners in the
immediate area, appeared before the Commission. Ms.
Mahoney expressed her concern that the Fun Zone will be
moving into the Balboa Inn with the approval of this

experiencing serious problems, including noise, litter,
burglaries and robberies. She stated that her home is
in close proximity to this request and urged that this
application be denied.
I I I I I Mr. Wang stated that by closing his video game

Commissioner Balalis asked how many full time tenants
reside in Marinapark. Mr. Parker stated that of the 58
spaces in Marinapark, the staff report indicates that
there are 23 permanent residents.
Commissioner Balalis questioned the definition of a,
permanent resident. Mr. Parker stated that many tests
have been applied to determine what constitutes a
permanent resident, such as number of days a person
sleeps in a given place, if the person is registered to
vote at that location, or if the person's children
attend school in the district.
Mr. Parker stated that although Marinapark does not
have a 100 percent occupied permanent residency, he
stated that 50 percent of the people who signed their
leases in 1973 with Marinapark, are still residing in
the Park. He also stated that some of the tenants,
which are not on a full -time basis, have resided at
• Marinapark for a cumulatively longer period than
others, which indicates an on -going commitment. He
stated that many of the permanent residents of
Marinapark are senior citizens.
Chairman King stated that he does not .assess absentee
owners as having any commitment to the City. He stated
that if the absentee owners have an income generating
piece of property, it is in their best interest to
continuing renewing the lease year after year.
Chairman King stated that this issue and the DeAnza
Mobile Home Park issue are significantly different, in
that the landlords are different, one being the City,
as opposed to a private landlord. He stated that this
proposal would cause the City to take an action against
itself, by adding another layer of both cost and time,
when the area is public tidelands and has been planned
as public recreation open -space for some time.
Mr. Parker stated that the City imposed this overlay
zone protection for the tenants of the DeAnza Mobile
Home Park and should provide the same protection for

the tenants of Marinapark. He stated that the City
will undoubtedly require this layer of protection for
the tenants of the other mobile home parks within the
City and will impose this overlay zone on every private
owner of mobile home parks in the City. He stated that
because the City is the landowner in this particular.
case, the City should not be exempt from the overlay
zone, which it imposes on private landowners.
Commissioner Salalis stated that the Local Coastal Plan
and the Housing Element designates this property as
recreational and environmental open space. He stated
that the other mobile home parks within the City do not
have this designation. Therefore, he stated that a
specific plan need not be developed for this property,
as all of the documents indicate an existing plan for
recreational and environmental open space on the
Marinapark property.
• Mr. Parker stated that the current lease which exists
between the City and the tenants of Marinapark, grants
to the tenants the option to renew the term of the
lease for an additional period of time, unless the City
has decided and adopted a specific plan to use the
tidelands for tideland purposes, or to use the Park for
some other public purpose. He stated that the City has
retained for itself, the absolute right to control its
desired use of the property. However, he stated that
the City is required to formally adopt such a plan. He
stated that the adoption of the mobile. home overlay
zone requires the City to adopt such a plan.
Mr. Parker referred to a mobile home park in the
Malibu area which was owned by a governmental entity.
He stated that the leases were cancelled and all of the
tenants moved out, because the mobile home park was to
be converted for public purposes. He stated that this
occurred several years ago and the property still sits
vacant, because the governmental entity did not have a
specific plan for the property and did not go through
the public hearing process.

Mr. Parker stated that the Marinapark property is
valuable land and the mobile home park is a good
interim use which meets a number of City policies, such
as providing a variety of housing within the City. He
stated that this is probably the closest to affordable'
housing within the City of Newport Beach.
Chairman King stated that a mobile home 'park is a good
interim use of the property and that the City is
committed to that use until the lease expires in 1985.
Mr. Parker referred to the Marinapark Planning Study
which he stated is 10 years old. He stated under the
mobile home overlay zone, the City would be required to
develop and adopt a specific plan which can be defined
to the tenants of Marinapark before they are displaced
and relocated.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the tenants of
Marinapark have a contractural agreement with the City
. for a specified amount of time in their lease until
1985 and a specified time of renewal for five years,
unless the City takes other action. He stated that the
placement of an overlay zone on Marinapark,
accomplishes absolutely nothing for the tenants of
Marinapark. He stated that the overlay zone provides
protection for other mobile home park. tenants, where
the tenants do not have a specified length of time for
occupancy.
•
Mr. Parker stated that according to the terms of the
lease, the City Council could theoretically say that
Marinapark is no longer required for any public trust
purpose or any other public purpose, and Marinapark
would no longer be in existence after 1985. , He stated
that the imposition of the overlay zone on Marinapark
would add more protection to the tenants of the
Marinapark Mobile Home Park. He stated that the City
should subject themselves to the same public hearing
process, as any other landowner in the City would have
to.
Mr. Parker stated that the Local Coastal Plan only
indicates that the Marinapark property will rezoned for
an open space district.

Planning Director Hewicker stated that the LCP Land Use -
Plan contains language that the mobile home park will
be retained and public access improved bayward of the
mobile home park. He stated that prior to the time
that the City can change the use of the property,
public hearings would have to be held and it would have
to be heard by the Coastal Commission, before the LCP
Land Use Plan could be changed.
Mr. Robert Burnham, Assistant City Attorney, - referred
to the gift of public funds issue and stated that if
DeAnza Bayside wants to redevelop their property, they
can fund the relocation, benefits, and compensation
which would have to be paid to the existing tenants
through the profits which would be derived from the
redevelopment of the DeAnza property. He added that
the City does not have this option, in this particular
case. He stated that in the event the overlay zone is
approved for Marinapark, the issue of the gift of
public funds should be researched further.
• Mr. Tom Heinz, resident of 217 19th Street, appeared
before the Commission and stated that the tenants of
Marinapark are approaching the end of their ten year
lease. He stated that there is a need for public use
facilities in the area for boating purposes. He
suggested that during the next two years, a solid
proposal should be developed for this property.
Commissioner Balalis expressed his concern with the
metal posts which impede access to the area. Mr. Heinz
concurred and stated that these should be removed to
improve public access.
Ms. Rae Cohen, resident of 1501 Antigua Way, and
Chairman of the Subcommittee for Marinapark for the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, appeared
before the Commission. Ms. Cohen stated that the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission voted 6 Ayes
and 1 Abstention, that the request for a Mobile Home
Park overlay zone for Marinapark be denied and that the
Marinapark area be pursued for development as a marine
and beach park. She stated that there is a great need
for additional bay access for small boat launching in
this area and dingy storage. She stated that this
• property should now be utilized for public purposes,
since it has been leased property since 1955.

Commissioner Winburn asked Ms. Cohen how the swimming
beach and the small boat launching area between 18th
and 19th Street is progressing. Ms. Cohen stated that
this area is being utilized by the public, but the
street ends are congested because there is not enough
space for the boats and trailers to park. She stated
that there are many residents of Newport Beach . who
desire access to the bay and the Marinapark property is
a good location.
Commissioner Balalis suggested that the Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Commission also consider providing some
type of housing for a mixed -use concept in this area..
He expressed his concern for the tenants of Marinapark
who have resided at the Park on a full time basis for
at least the last five years. He suggested that
perhaps 25 residential units be provided, along with
the proper parking, and small boat launching
facilities, which would constitute a multi -use
• facility.
Commissioner Goff asked if a mobile home park is an
appropriate use for tidelands trust land. Mr. Burnham
stated that this question has been asked in the past.
He stated that the answer depends upon -the size of the
parcel, the type of residential uses, and the duration
of time involved.
In response to a hypothetical question posed by
Commissioner Goff, Mr. Burnham stated that if
litigation in the future were determine that a mobile
home park is not an appropriate use for tidelands trust
land, the existing tenants would be given the right,
over an extended period of time, to relocate. He also
stated that such a litigation would be subject to
appeal.
Commissioner Kurlander stated that the California Civil
Code requires a 12 -month notice for the change of use
of a mobile home park. He stated that in the event of
such a change, the tenants would be given a minimum 12-
• month notice.

Mr. Parker stated that the City Council has determined
several times in the past that a mobile home park is
not an improper use of tidelands trust land. He stated
that the gift of public funds issue is a legitimate
question. However, he referred to the State Civil Code
and stated that the City, as the mobile home park_
owner, may be required to provide compensation for
relocation expenses for the tenants in the event that
the mobile home park use is changed.
Mr. Parker stated that the Marinapark property would be
the worst place on the Peninsula to place a boat
launching facility, because of the already existing
traffic congestion in the area.
I I I I I I In summarizing, Mr. Parker stated that the Mobile Home
Park overlay zone for Marinapark is a fair requirement
for the City to impose on itself. He urged the
Commission to adopt the overlay zone for Marinapark.
• Commissioner Winburn stated that as a past member of
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, many
locations have been considered for a small boat
launching facility on the bay. She stated that the
Marinapark location is the only feasible location for
the use of boat trailers and parking spaces. Mr.
Parker stated that the parking and traffic congestion
in this area will be staggering if boat launching
facilities are provided at this location. He stated
that boat launching facilities would be more feasible
in the upper bay area.
Commissioner King asked Mr. Parker if he would be
agreeable to an overlay zone which would expire in five
years. Mr. Parker stated that this would defeat the
purpose of the overlay zone. He stated that the
overlay zone requires that the landowner develop a
specific plan for the property. He stated that a
specific plan is what the tenants want.
Commissioner King stated that he can not support an
overlay zone which would dictate the City imposing
another layer of government upon itself. He stated
that in the case of a private developer in a private
park, the money spent on the overlay zone is hopefully
• recaptured in the resulting redevelopment.

Commissioner Kurlander referred to a letter of
opposition dated July 28, 1982, from Mr. Philip
Heckendorn, which states that the applicant does not
have the consent of the owners for the requested
change. Commissioner Kurlander asked legal counsel to
comment on same.
Mr. Miller stated that since American Cal- Medical
Services is the long term leasee and the tenant on two
of the facilities, he had been advised that they had
the right to make these requests.
Mr. Robert Burnham, Assistant City Attorney, stated
that he has reviewed the leases in question and Mr.
Heckendorn's letter. He stated that there is nothing
in the leases which would require the property owner to
consent to the application, nor is there anything in
the leases which prohibits any change of the use
without obtaining the owners consent.
• Mr. Philip Heckendorn, one of the owners of the
affected property, and representing the other owners of
the property, appeared before the Commission. Mr.
Heckendorn stated that they are opposing these
requests, because the proposed changes would have an
adverse economic impact upon the value of the property.
He stated that the landlord and tenant will have to
settle their private dispute.
Mr. Heckendorn stated that there is a certified need
for more convalescent hospital beds in the area,
however he stated that there is not a certified need
for more residential care beds. He stated that the
existing facilities are capable of fulfilling the need
for the convalescent hospital beds, which would be more
consistent with the present needs of the general
welfare.
Mr. Heckendorn questioned the length of time for the
off -site parking agreement. He stated that any
agreement for an off -site parking agreement would need
the consent of the property owners and could only be
for a period of the life of the lease which is at most,
for 18 years. Planning Director Hewicker stated that a
period of 18 years is a reasonable duration for an

employees and visitors of the facility still need
parking. She stated that the use should not be further

Request to consider an amendment to Chapter 20.10.035
Item #10
of the Newport Beach Municipal Code as it pertains to
the hours of operation of pool. pumps in residential
districts.
INITIATED BY: The City Of Newport Beach
AMENDMENT
N0, 575'
Motion
X
Motion was made for approval of Amendment No. 575, as
-
stated in Exhibit "B" of the staff report.
Commissioner Goff suggested that if the noise of the
pool pump and ambient noise level is below 55 dBA, APPROVED
there be no limitation as to when the pump could be
turned off. He stated that the Commission should be
concerned with regulating noise rather than the pool
.and spa pumps. Commissioner Kurlander stated that some
of the people who use the spas, make more noise than
• the noise level of the pumps.
Chairman King stated that the curfew for the pump
operation can be enforced through the complaint
process.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that if the ambient
noise level is above 55 dBA, it would be difficult, if
not impossible, to determine the noise .level of the
pump. He stated that the dBA meter would be reading
the ambient level, not the noise generated from the
pump. He stated that according to Exhibit "B" in the
staff report, all pumps would have to be turned off by
10:00 P.M.
Amendment X Amendment to the motion was made that the time limit
Ayes X X for turning off the pool pumps not be specified if the
Noes X X X noise level is below or at 55 dBA. The following
Abstain X sentence would be deleted from the second paragraph of
Absent * Exhibit "B ", "Pumps may be operated only between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m." Amendment to the
motion was now voted on, which AMENDMENT FAILED.

CHAPTER 20.10 GENERAL CONTROLS - RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
"20.10.035 SWIMMING POOLS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT -
YARDS. Any swimming pool, fish pond, or other body of

that the enclosing fence required in Chapter 15.04 of
this Code is permitted under the provisions of Section
20.02.070 and 20.10.025, F, of this Chapter.
Any pump, filter or heater installed to serve such
. body of water within ten feet of a side or rear
property line (unless said property line is adjacent to
a street or alley) shall be sound attenuated in such a
manner as to achieve a maximum sound level of 55 dBA at
said property line. Any such pump, filter or heater
shall not be considered an accessory building so long
as any required housing thereof does not exceed six
feet in height. Pumps may be operated only between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Should it be determined by an acoustical engineer
that the existing ambient noise levels at a specific
site exceed 55 dBA at 10:00 p.m., then the acoustical
engineer shall certify that the operation of the pool
pump or related equipment will not result in any
increase in noise levels over the ambient level as
determined by said acoustical engineer.
