Webb, Public Works Director - 949-644-3311, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Kathryne Cho, Civil Engineer, kcho@newportbeachca.gov PHONE: 949-644-3014 TITLE: Request to Retain Existing Private Improvements within the Public Right -of -Way at 432 Holmwood Drive ABSTRACT: The property owner of 432 Holmwood Drive requests to retain existing private improvements within the Holmwood Drive public right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine that the 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 it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Waive City Council Policy L-6, Private Encroachments in the Public Rights -of -Way, to allow stairs with handrail and retaining walls and lighting that encroach in excess of 1 foot into the right-of-way and exceed 3 feet in height within the Holmwood Drive right-of-way; and c) Direct staff to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with Owners, and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Encroachment Agreement within one (1) calendar year upon receipt of approval. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. Request to Retain Existing Private Improvements within the Public Right -of -Way at 432 Holmwood Drive December 13, 2016 Page 2 DISCUSSION: It has been brought to staff's attention that property encroachments have been constructed at 432 Holmwood Drive. Staff approached the property owner and started the process of obtaining City Council approval and eventually an encroachment agreement. Staff contacted the property owner (Owner) of 432 Holmwood Drive to inform him of his options to retain the existing encroachments. Owner opted to request for a waiver from City Council Policy L-6, Private Encroachments in the Public Rights -of -Way, to retain the existing improvements at his property. The request includes the retention of the following: a) a 38 -inch tall block wall and a 34 -inch tall entry gate encroaching 1 foot 5 inches; b) a 29 -inch tall planter wall and low -voltage lighting encroaching approximately 4 feet; and c) 15 -inch square concrete pavers and entry walkway encroaching up to 6 feet 6 inches into the Holmwood Drive right-of-way. Currently, no sidewalks exist along the Holmwood Drive right-of-way nor has this street been identified as a Significant Link Street in the City's Circulation System (Resolution No. 88-88). With the encroachment agreement in place and no current need to install a sidewalk, staff supports the request to retain the existing private improvements as it does not presently diminish the rights of the public. 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).
