Webb, Public Works Director - 949-644-3311, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Antony Brine, City Traffic Engineer, tbrine@newportbeachca.gov PHONE: 949-644-3329 TITLE: Resolution No. 2021-32: Repealing Resolution No. 8195 and Designating Portions of 30th Street and 31St Street as Two -Way Streets ABSTRACT - Under current conditions in Cannery Village, 30th Street between Lafayette Avenue and Villa Way operates as a one-way street in the easterly direction, and 31St Street between Lafayette Avenue and Villa Way operates as a one-way street in the westerly direction. In February 2020, staff collected new traffic count data on all streets in the Cannery Village area. The traffic data has been reviewed, and the results indicate that traffic circulation in the area could improve by changing both portions of 30th Street and 31 st Street to allow for two-way traffic. RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) Adopt Resolution No. 2021-32, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Repealing City Council Resolution No. 8195 and Designating Portions of 301h Street and 31s' Street in Cannery Village as Two -Way Streets. DISCUSSION: Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 12.52.010 establishes that an ordinance or resolution may designate any street as a one-way street, and the City Traffic Engineer shall place and maintain signs giving notice thereof. On February 11, 1974, the City Council approved Resolution No. 8195 designating portions of 31St Street and 30th Street in the Cannery Village area as one-way streets. At the time, it was decided that one-way street designations for 31 st Street, westerly between Lafayette Avenue and Villa Way; and 30th Street, easterly between Lafayette Avenue and Villa Way, would facilitate the flow of traffic and eliminate traffic hazards. Resolution No. 8195 is Attachment C. 4-1 Resolution No. 2021-32: Repealing Resolution No. 8195 and Designating Portions of 30th Street and 31 st Street as Two -Way Streets April 27, 2021 Page 2 The other portions of 30th Street and 31s' Street, between Newport Boulevard and Villa Way, are both currently two-way. Within the last few decades, there has been increased development in the area, with new mixed-use residential, retail and office projects. In addition, the new Lido House Hotel opened in 2018. Extensive new traffic counts have been collected on all streets in Cannery Village. The new traffic counts indicate that the traffic circulation in Cannery Village could be improved by reverting the existing one-way designations on 31St Street and 30th Street, between Lafayette Avenue and Villa Way, to allow for two-way traffic. Attachment A shows the portions of 31 st Street and 30th Street with the proposed changes. A letter was mailed to the area residents/property owners notifying them of the proposed changes. As of the writing of this staff report, no responses to the letter have been received. The letter is Attachment D. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is 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. 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).

ATTACHMENT D April 8, 2021 Resident/Property Owner Cannery Village Dear Resident/Property Owner; CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 100 Civic Center Drive Newport Beach, California 92660 newportbeachca.gov Within Cannery Village, there are several streets that are designated one-way streets. Villa Way is a one-way street in the southbound direction. 31St Street between Villa Way and Lafayette Avenue is a one-way street in the westbound direction. 30th Street between Villa Way and Lafayette Avenue is a one-way street in the eastbound direction. In February 2020, the City Public Works Department collected traffic volumes on all streets in Cannery Village. The data collected indicates that overall traffic circulation within Cannery Village could be improved by eliminating the one-way designations on the segments of 30th Street and 31s' Street between Villa Way and Lafayette Avenue. A map of the proposed changes is on the back of this letter. The City Council will be considering this item at their meeting scheduled for April 27, 2021 in the City Council Chambers, 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach.
