A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF

ADOPTION OF CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2006 -006 (PA
2006 -194)
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH HEREBY FINDS,
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, on September 26, 2006, the City Council initiated amendments to
Title 17 and Title 20 of the City of Newport Beach Municipal Code to revise land use
regulations and parking requirements for marine charters; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 19, 2006 in the City Hall
Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of
time, place and purpose of the meeting was given in accordance with the Municipal
Code. Evidence, both written and oral, was presented to, and considered by, the
Planning Commission at this meeting; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission finds as follows:
1. On February 14, 2006, the City Council adopted new permit procedures for
regulating commercial activities on Newport Harbor, in part, to consolidate
charter regulations to establish a single regulatory authority within the City for
commercial operations on Newport Harbor.
2. Current land use and parking regulations relating to marine uses are contrary to
the goal of establishing a single regulatory authority for Harbor commercial
activities.
3. The City Council should consider including a requirement for the notification of
adjacent property owners of proposed off-site parking arrangements.
4. The proposed action is not defined as a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it involves general policy and
procedure making activities not associated with a project or a physical change
in the environment (Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the aforementioned
findings, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council of the City
of Newport Beach adopt Code Amendment No. 2006 -006 to Title 17 and Title 20 of the
Newport Beach Municipal Code as provided in Exhibit A.
