EQAC? Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 11:08:05 AM [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Thanksgiving Sat. is Small Business Sat. I've said over the years why it's only a day. Now 2020, people in small businesses wish to enjoy the holiday season just like everyone else. Those, who still spend as comfortably as they did pre-Covid, should consider Buy Local Buy Small a duty for the community. My Small Business Month pitch to CM was well received. Mayor Foley said a proclamation is coming up. While I hope Nov. can also be Small Business Month in NB, I suggest 2021 to be the Year of Mom -n -Pop. Buy Local is an element in the Sustainability Plan. We need to move it and the Environmental Quality Affairs Committee from the website to a meeting room. Other elements in the Plan are also timelier than ever, such as circulation, waste reduction, energy, etc. On energy, the movement of the year is the Irvine led Community Choice Energy (CCE) JPA. NB was the first to express interest. I wish we had EQAC to look into it while staff and council were busy during the pandemic. CM and HB have been working on it. And it's coming back to their next council meetings. More than local control, I tend to think Newporters prefer lower rates and clean energy just as much as the neighbors. Thanks!

Dear City of Newport Beach City Council Members, Hopefully this message finds you well. We represent residents within the City and are eager to reach out to you in regards to a topic that involves myself and my neighbors in the Newport Ridge Estates Community on Sea Terrace. More specifically, we are writing to address an issue that is in relation to Municipal Code 12.40.055. There is a no -outlet street, Terrace Ridge right outside our gated neighborhood. This street was acquired by the City of Newport Beach when they took over Newport Coast. Prior to that, this was considered a residential street and has since become a city street. Since then, several of the neighboring communities have been instructing residents and guests of residents to park on this street (Terrace Ridge) as well as on parts of Newport Ridge Drive West & East (where there are no No Parking signs present). We would like to mention that the communities DO have adequate parking for their residents. The homeowners, however, seem to not want cars present on the streets within their neighborhoods. This has led to people leaving and sometimes abandoning cars, construction trucks, RVs and even boats for long term parking. In addition, people are coming from other communities outside of the Newport Coast area to store their vehicles. We have spoken with the head of parking with the Newport Beach police (Heidi Moss) and the city traffic engineer (Tony Brine) and they have said they have received several complaints and understand the concern regarding the parking issue on Terrace Ridge. The rule as of now is that they have to move their vehicles every 72 hours. Once this time is up, they simply move their vehicles 1-2 feet and continue to park on the street. These parking rules apply due to the municipal code that was written many years ago, dating back to 1983. Part of the issue is that Newport Beach allows oversized vehicles to remain on city streets for 72 hours. None of the surrounding cities allow RV or oversized recreational vehicles to park on city streets for up to 72 hours. I attached several of the parking rules in the neighboring cities for your reference. The request to the City is for you take a look at the municipal code and consider revising it to forbid large commercial vehicles, trucks, etc. from parking on city streets for 72 hours. In addition, our client is requesting you potentially reduce it to no overnight oversized parking on city streets. The city recently put up temporary street sweeping signs on Terrace Ridge and it has helped in reducing the congestion for cars. The coming and going that results from the parking situation, along with the consistent noise it creates, has become a burden to residents of our community of Sea Terrace. Thank you so much for considering this request and we hope that the council can work together to solve this parking issue within the city, and specifically, residential communities. Thank you kindly and we look forward to hearing the Council's feedback on this item.
