TITLE: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending the Newport Beach Municipal
Code Relating to On -street Parking Impacts Due to Construction
Activities and the Overall Time a Construction Project May Take
ABSTRACT:
On January 23, 2018, the City Council directed staff to consider changes to the Newport
Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) to address residential street parking impacted by the on-
going construction occurring in residential neighborhoods and the length of time a
construction project may take. For the past year, staff has discussed ways to address
the issues with community groups. Staff is proposing Ordinance No. 2019-7 (Attachment
A) amending the NBMC Chapters 10 and 15 to help alleviate some of the impacts.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Find this action exempt from 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; and
b) Waive full reading, direct the City Clerk to read by title only, introduce Ordinance
No. 2019-7, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California,
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Amending
Portions of Chapters 10. 28, 15.02 and 15.16, Adding Section 15.60.030, and Adding a
New Chapter 15.90 to the Newport Beach Municipal Code, Relating to On -Street
Parking Impacts Due to Construction Activities, and pass to second reading on
March 12, 2019.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no direct fiscal impact related to the adoption of the ordinance. If the City Council
decides to expand parking enforcement, there will be a cost and revenue offset.
DISCUSSION:
Since the end of the last economic recession, the City has experienced an increase in
construction activity. The level of housing demand and high property values in Newport
Beach have incentivized investors and homeowners to demolish older homes and
construct new homes. The relatively high volume of construction activity has impacted
street parking in some residential neighborhoods. This is due to contractors' vehicles and
material delivery vehicles competing with residents for limited street parking. In some
cases, the alleys are used for staging or material deliveries limiting the residents' access
to their homes. City Council directed staff to study construction -related parking issues,
work with the community and craft code changes that would help alleviate the parking
impacts.
Meetings with Local Builders
City staff met with several local contractors and developers (builders) to discuss an
effective approach for limiting the construction parking impact on residents. Most builders
attributed the parking impacts to a good economy, suggesting that the impact will be
reduced as the economy slows down. Builders did not support the idea of additional
enforcement and stated they would prefer to improve their cooperative approach with
residents. Builders also noted that they are under pressure from their respective clients
to finish their projects in an expeditious manner, and additional construction constraints
could potentially delay projects and prolong construction timelines. Builders supported
restricting construction on Saturday stating that this day is typically less productive and
less cost effective (due to overtime requirements) than a regular weekday.
Public Outreach and Feedback from Residents
City staff conducted public outreach meetings with the residents, seeking feedback on
the construction -related parking impacts. Staff met with Balboa Peninsula Point
Association members on October 11, 2018, Corona del Mar residents on October 17,
2018, and Lido Isle Homeowners Association members on November 14, 2018.
Some common themes staff heard from the residents were:
1. Lack of parking enforcement and the need to increase it;
2. Lack of notification and communication from builders;
3. Builders having no consideration for the neighbors;
4. Blocked alleys or driveways and parking in the red zone;
5. Lack of noise control;

6. Concern for delaying projects further; and
7. Suggestions to implement a parking permit program for builders.
Staff reviewed the concept of a parking permit program for builders and determined it to
be logistically challenging to keep track of the issuance of approximately 10,000 annual
parking permits. An additional challenge would include obtaining California Coastal
Commission approval for the parking permit program.
Municipal Code Changes to Improve Residential Street Parking
After listening to both the residents and the builders, staff believes the following proposed
code changes will help reduce parking impacts on residential streets:
1. Restrict loud noise construction activity on Saturdays between Memorial Day and
Labor Day;
2. Require a temporary project information sign on jobsite fences;
3. Require the submittal of a parking management plan; and
4. Limiting the length of time, a construction project may take.
Construction Restriction on Saturdays
Staff proposes to amend the NBMC 10.28.040 to restrict construction activity that
produces loud noise on Saturdays during the calendar year commencing with Saturday
that precedes Memorial Day and continuing to and including the Saturday that proceeds
Labor Day. For 2019 this will be between Saturday, May 25 and Saturday, August 31.
The purpose of this amendment is to limit construction activity during the peak visitor
season when residential streets are impacted the most.
Information Signage
Currently, the NBMC 15.60.020 requires fencing for construction projects that are
considered new development or substantial in nature. This is required for security and
safety reasons. Staff proposes that, if a construction project is required to have a fence,
then the fence must also have an information sign, NBMC 15.60.030, that identifies the
primary contact, general contractor name, permit number and City contact information.
The purpose of the sign is for the community to easily contact someone responsible for
the project or the City should the need arise.
Construction Parking Management Plan
To help address the residents' concerns of multiple construction projects being
constructed in the same block magnifying the parking impacts, staff proposes to require
the builder to develop and submit a construction parking management plan (CPMP)
NBCM 15.90.030 for review prior to building permit issuance for all new residential
construction.

Projects that are considered remodels will not be required to develop a CPMP. The
CPMP would require the builder to identify additional off-site parking locations, delivery
schedules, number of vehicles assigned to the project site, as well as other conditions
that may be added. The CPMP would be reviewed and approved by the Community
Development Director or designee. To assist builders, staff developed a parking
management plan template (Attachment C). Decisions of the Community Development
Director may be appealed or called for review by the Planning Commission.
The CPMP will only go into effect when the Community Development Director determines
that potential parking conflicts and impacts may occur. If it is determined that a conflict
may occur, then notice will be given to the property owner to implement the CPMP.
Failure of the property owner to implement the CPMP may result in a written notice of
noncompliance (Notice). If the property owner does not comply with the Notice, then an
administrative citation (including a fine) may be issued.
Limiting the Length of Time for Construction
Currently, the municipal code does not address the maximum time frame a construction
project may take. Staff proposes NBMC Section 15.02.095 to limit the length of time a
construction project may take to a maximum of five years. The new section addresses
some of the extreme cases of construction projects that seem to continue on indefinitely.
The Chief Building Official will have the option to extend the length of time for special
circumstances. These special circumstances may involve large commercial or residential
projects that are developed in phases or are complex in nature.
Parking Enforcement — Pilot Program
As a result of feedback from the community, staff initiated a three-week pilot program on
increased parking enforcement to measure the need for additional parking enforcement.
Enforcement increased in the areas of Corona del Mar, Balboa Island, Lido Isle, Balboa
Peninsula, and West Newport. The beginning of the pilot program resulted in an increase
of parking violations. The number of parking citations decreased as more people were
educated on the parking codes and the nature of the violation. Overall, during the three-
week program there were 529 parking citations issued along with 222 warnings to
residents and contractors.
If the City Council would like to increase parking enforcement, then staff would suggest
adding one additional full-time employee through the City's parking enforcement vendor
AmeriPark during the peak summer season. The duties of that individual would be to
rotate to different areas throughout the City and enforce parking throughout residential
streets. It is anticipated the additional cost will largely be offset by increased citation
revenue.

Time to Implement the Ordinance
Staff is requesting the ordinance take effect 60 days after final passage to allow the
development community time to possibly modify their contracts between general
contractor and property owner due to the limitation of Saturday construction. Additionally,
the implementation time gives City staff an opportunity to educate the development
community on the new requirements proposed in the ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action 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. The
adoption of the amendment does not authorize new development or change the density
or intensity of any potential future development.
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).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING PORTIONS
OF CHAPTERS 10.28,15.02 AND 15.16, ADDING SECTION
15.60.030, AND ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 15.90 TO THE
NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO ON -
STREET PARKING IMPACTS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES
WHEREAS, Section 200 of the City of Newport Beach's ("City") Charter vests the
City Council with the authority to make and enforce all laws, rules and regulations with
respect to municipal affairs subject only to the restrictions and limitations contained in the
Charter and the State Constitution, and the power to exercise, or act pursuant to any and
all rights, powers, and privileges, or procedures granted or prescribed by any law of the
State of California;
WHEREAS, at its regular meeting held on January 23, 2018, the City Council
requested that staff consider revisions to the Newport Beach Municipal Code to address
parking impacts on residential streets during the pendency of new construction and
substantial remodels ("new construction") within residential districts;
WHEREAS, at its regular meeting held on April 24, 2018, the City Council held a
study session to discuss on -street parking impacts due to construction on residential
streets and suggested certain methods by which to reduce said impacts;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and declares that new construction in close
proximity to other new construction has an impact upon the public health, safety and
welfare by interfering with pedestrian and traffic flow and impacting limited on -street
parking;
WHEREAS, it is the purpose of this ordinance to respond to the direction of the
City Council by updating the Newport Beach Municipal Code to include certain
requirements related to the potential parking impacts occasioned by new construction
within residential districts requiring applicants for permits for new construction to prepare
and obtain approval of a construction parking management plan prior to the issuance of
a construction -related permit; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council to exempt projects consisting of
limited rehabilitation or renovation (i.e., remodeling) of an existing dwelling unit from the
requirement to prepare a construction parking management plan as a condition precedent
to the issuance of a construction -related permit because such projects are smaller in size
and, therefore, the potential parking conflicts and impacts occasioned by such projects
are smaller and of shorter duration when compared to new construction.

Notification of Implementation of Construction Parking Management Plan. Implementation and
compliance with an approved construction parking management plan by a record owner of a construction
project site depends upon whether construction of one or more other new residential structures is located
within 200 feet of each other and construction activities will exist or occur at or about the same time,
causing potential parking conflicts and impacts to occur between both or the several projects. Under such
circumstances and where the Community Development Director determines that potential parking
conflicts and impacts may occur, the Community Development Director may deliver written notice to all
record owners of such construction project sites, identifying the location of all construction project sites
and specifying a date by which each record owner must commence implementation of, and compliance
with, his or her respective construction parking management plan. Until the record owner of a
construction project site receives such notice, said record owner need not implement his or her approved
construction parking management plan.
