Webb, Public Works Director — 949-644-3311 dawebb@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Antony Brine, City Traffic Engineer tbrine(cD_newportbeachca.gov PHONE: 949-644-3329 TITLE: Parking Restriction Revision — Vista del Oro and Mar Vista Drive in Corona del Mar High School Area ABSTRACT: On August 9, 2016 the City Council approved parking restrictions to prohibit parking on residential sides of Vista del Oro and Mar Vista Drive in the area surrounding Corona del Mar High School to reduce student parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood streets. Since the implementation of these No Parking areas, residents from the Bluffs and Plaza communities have requested the City revise the parking restrictions to allow residents to park in the zone overnight to reduce the parking impact to their adjacent neighborhoods. Staff recommends that parking be restricted between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm on Vista del Oro to allow for overnight parking for residents. City staff has also met with the Corona del Mar High School PTA to discuss their concerns regarding impacts to student parking. The recommended parking restrictions will provide overnight and weekend parking on both streets for the residents, and allow for unrestricted resident and student parking on Mar Vista Drive. The new parking controls are proposed in an effort to balance the needs of the residents and the school. RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will have no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; b) Rescind Resolution No. 2016-99, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California establishing a "No Parking" area on the north side of Corona del Mar High School Parking September 13, 2016 Page 2 Vista del Oro between Eastbluff Drive and Mar Vista Drive, and on the west side of Mar Vista Drive between Domingo Drive and Vista del Oro. c) Adopt Resolution No. 2016- , A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Prohibiting Parking of Vehicles on the north side of Vista del Oro between Eastbluff Drive and Mar Vista Drive between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on weekdays. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: Staff anticipates there will be costs associated with the installation of traffic signage and necessary enforcement. DISCUSSION: On August 9, 2016 the City Council approved parking restrictions to prohibit parking along portions of Vista del Oro and Mar Vista Drive in the area surrounding Corona del High School in an effort to reduce student parking impacts on the surrounding neighborhood streets. Upon approval, city staff installed No Parking Anytime signs on the north side of Vista del Oro between Eastbluff Drive and Mar Vista Drive, and on the west side of Mar Vista Drive between Domingo Drive and Vista del Oro on August 29th. The Police Department has begun issuing warnings to vehicles that parking is no longer allowed within this zone. To better inform the residents of the pending action as well as solicit comments, Public Works staff also met with both the Bluffs and Plaza Home Owners Associations to discuss the new parking restrictions. During these meetings, several residents noted the loss of parking along Vista del Oro and Mar Vista would adversely affect their neighborhoods. This concern has been reiterated by additional residents that have just contacted staff within the last two weeks. Many residents around the High School are requesting a revision of the parking restrictions to allow for overnight and weekend parking within the zone. In addition, staff met with representatives of the Corona del Mar High School PTA on September 9 to discuss their concerns with the loss of student parking around the school. To address both the resident and school parent concerns, staff recommends the parking restrictions on north side of Vista del Oro between Eastbluff Drive and Mar Vista Drive be revised from a permanent parking prohibition to weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Staff also recommends that the recently approved Mar Vista Drive parking restrictions be removed, and that parking will be open to both residents and students with no restrictions. The new parking restrictions are proposed in an effort to balance the needs of the residents and the school. Corona del Mar High School Parking September 13, 2016 Page 3 Additionally, staff recommends that current street sweeping parking restrictions be placed on -hold along Vista del Oro between Eastbluff Drive and Mar Vista Drive, and on Mar Vista Drive between Domingo Drive and Vista del Oro. Staff will review the street sweeping operations, and will return to Council with any proposed changes to the days and/or hours of the street sweeping on these two segments. Municipal Code Section 12.44.010 Parking Time Restrictions, allows for parking restrictions related to specific hours and days of the week to be implemented through a City Council Resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15311 (Accessory Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, as the only physical change to the environment will be the installation of new small regulatory signs within the existing developed public right- of-way to alert motorists of parking restrictions and no other changes to the streets, sidewalks or parking spaces is authorized. 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).
