The City Council of the City of Newport Beach does
ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 12.24.080 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code is amended to read:

way.

boree Road.
Marguerite Avenue from Fifth Avenue to San Joaquin
Hills Road."
SECTION 2. Emergency Ordinance Effective Immediately.
This ordinance is declared to be an urgency measure necessary for
preserving the public safety and shall take effect and be in force
upon its adoption. The reasons for adoption of this ordinance as
an urgency measure are as follows: The segment of Marguerite
Avenue between Fifth Avenue and San Joaquin Hills Road which
would be made subject to a prima facie speed limit of thirty -five
miles per hour by this ordinance was recently opened as a public
street. At the present time the only speed restriction applicable
to that segment of Marguerite Avenue is the basic speed law which
allows maximum speeds of up to sixty -five miles per hour without
any prima facie speed limit. Due to the fact that the street is
curved and has a steep grade, it is essential that a prima facie
speed limit be established as soon as possible after its opening
in order to protect the public.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall be published once in
the official newspaper of the City.
