Tournament and To Allow for Alcoholic Beverages on a City Beach
ABSTRACT:
Volleyball Newport Beach Inc. seeks special event permit approval to host its annual
charity volleyball tournament on a public beach. Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-61
would waive Council Policy B-8 and Section A.1 of Council Policy B-13 to permit an
annual charity volleyball tournament and allow for alcoholic beverages on public beach
within the City of Newport Beach.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Section 15304 under Class 4 of the CEQA Guidelines, because this
project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-61, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California Waiving Council Policy B-8, and Section A.1 of Council Policy B-13
to Permit an Annual Charity Volleyball Tournament and to Allow for Alcoholic
Beverages on a City Beach.
DISCUSSION:
Volleyball Newport Beach Inc. is a non-profit with a mission to promote and support youth
volleyball. It desires to hold a charity volleyball tournament on Saturday October 19, 2024,
north of the Newport Pier (Attachment A). If adopted, Resolution No. 2024-61 would waive
Council Policy B-8 and Section A.1 of Council Policy B-13 to facilitate this proposed event
annually (Attachment B). Waiver of Council Policy B-8: Bike, Foot Race and Surf Contest
Event (Attachment C) would allow for a special event that is not surf, surf -related or a
sandcastle contest to be permitted on a City beach. Waiver of Council Policy B-13:
Public Use of Facilities, Section A.1 Regulations and Restrictions -Use of Alcohol
(Attachment D) would allow for alcoholic beverages to be permitted at the event.

As part of the special event permitting process, Volleyball Newport Beach is required to
submit supplemental materials with the special event permit application for City staff
review and approval. An alcohol service plan, outlining guidelines including the number
of alcohol service locations, container sizes, types of alcohol, security personnel,
adherence to Alcoholic Beverage Control restrictions and required training of
alcohol service personnel, is required. A diagram for the event highlighting location and
specifications of the setup and breakdown of the proposed temporary volleyball courts is
also required.
In addition, the applicant must apply to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) each
year to receive an event exclusion, which will allow the temporary event to move forward
in the City's approval process. The applicant has received an event exclusion from the
CCC for the upcoming 2024 event.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The special event fees will cover the cost of permitting and applicant will be responsible
for any costs related to returning the event site to its original state.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to
Section 15304 under Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) of the CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a
significant effect on the environment.
Class 4 exemptions consist of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land,
water, and/or vegetation that do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees
except for forestry or agricultural purposes, including the minor temporary use of land
having a negligible or no permanent effect on the environment. This proposal is to waive
Council Policy B-8 and Council Policy B-13 to allow for an annual charity volleyball
tournament and alcoholic beverages on a City beach, for a one -day event held one time
per year, and thus qualifies for the Class 4 exemption.
The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable.
The project location does not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical
concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not have a significant effect on the
environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within a
state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical
resource.
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).
