A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT
BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SETTING FAIR MARKET VALUE RENT FOR
TRANSIENT BOAT SLIPS AT MARINA PARK
WHEREAS, pursuant to the 1978 Beacon Bay Bill, as amended, ("Beacon Bay Bill") the
City of Newport Beach ("City") acts on behalf of the State of California as the trustee of
tidelands located within the City's limits, including Newport Harbor;
WHEREAS, the City is the owner of that certain land located at 1600 West Balboa
Boulevard, Newport Beach, California 92663 and commonly known as Marina Park
("Marina");
WHEREAS, the Marina adjoins Newport Harbor and includes twenty three (23)
transient boat slips for the berthing of vessels ("Marina Slips");
WHEREAS, Section 1(b) of the Beacon Bay Bill and Section 17.60.060 of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code ("NBMC") allow the City to authorize third parties to use tidelands
located within the City's limits, including the Marina Slips;
WHEREAS, the Beacon Bay Bill, California Constitution Article 16, Section 6, and City
Council Policy F-7(D) require the City to receive fair market value rent from third parties using
the tidelands;
WHEREAS, the City Council has the exclusive discretion to determine fair market
value rent based in part upon the findings of a City-selected appraiser;
WHEREAS, an appraisal report by George Hamilton Jones, Inc. was prepared and
delivered to the City and has been reviewed and considered by the City Council, that report is
part of the record for this matter; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all documents and comments in the
record in connection with this resolution and the setting of fair market value rent for the
Marina Slips.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The Recitals provided above are true and correct and are incorporated
into the substantive portion of this resolution.
Section 2: The City Council finds that the fair market value rent provisions
contained in the attached Transient Slip Rent Calculations, which is incorporated by
reference, provide for the charging of fair market value rent and that the rental rate in the
attachment constitute fair market value rent for the Marina Slips located at the Marina, which
findings are made by the City Council in its exclusive discretion but are based in part upon
the information in the appraisal report prepared by George Hamilton Jones, Inc. and, in
addition, on other testimony and documents in the record for this matter. The City Council

further finds and determines the rent for Marina Slips, operating under a rental agreement,
shall be set in accordance with the attached Transient Slip Rent Calculations.
Section 3: The City Council finds the setting of fair market value rent for the Marina
Slips 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.
Alternatively, the City Council finds the setting of fair market value rent for the Marina Slips is
entitled to a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Regulation Section 15301
because the fair market value rent contemplates the continued use of existing facilities, with
no expansion of the proposed use. Further, the City Council finds the setting of fair market
value rent for the Marina Slips is entitled to a Statutory Exemption pursuant to CEQA
Regulation Section 15273(a)(1) because the fair market value rent established by the City
Council will be used to meet operating expenses within the tidelands. Lastly, the City Council
finds the setting of fair market value rent for the Marina Slips is not a project under CEQA
Regulation Section 15061(b)(3) because it has no potential for causing a significant effect on
the environment.
Section 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution
is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the
validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this resolution. The City Council
hereby declares that it would have passed this resolution, and each section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5: This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City
Council and the City Clerk shall certify the vote adopting the resolution.
ADOPTED this 271h day of October, 2015.
