TITLE: Resolution No. 2022-27: Overnight Parking Prohibition on
Old Newport Boulevard
ABSTRACT:
Staff has been observing a number of vehicles parking long-term along Old Newport
Boulevard between 15th Street and Hospital Road. There have been a number of litter,
pollution and safety issues associated with the long-term parking. A resolution has been
prepared to prohibit overnight parking between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily on both sides of
this segment of Old Newport Boulevard.
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. 2022-27, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Prohibiting Overnight Parking on Old Newport Boulevard between
15th Street and Hospital Road.
DISCUSSION:
Overnight and long-term parking has become a problem along Old Newport Boulevard
south of 15th Street. There have been issues with littering, pollution, dumping of waste,
and safety concerns.
A resolution has been prepared that, if adopted, would prohibit overnight parking on Old
Newport Boulevard between 15th Street and Hospital Road from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. There
are numerous medical offices along this segment of Old Newport Boulevard, with most
closing at 5 p.m. There is only one business that closes at 9 p.m. There will be no impacts
to business parking.
Staff believes the prohibition of overnight parking should eliminate the potential for
continuing problems.

are sufficient funds in the operating budget to absorb these costs.

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.
