NEGATIVE DECLARATION
for
RENEWAL OF THE NEWPORT MARINAPARK LEASES
prepared by
THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
1. Project Description.
The project consists of the amendment and renewal of an
existing lease between the City of Newport Beach and the
lessees of all or part of fifty-eight (58) trailer park
spaces in Newport Marinapark. The amendment of the lease
will provide for a public walkway extending northerly from
Balboa Boulevard along the easterly end of the park to the
public beach adjacent to the Newport Bay. The amendment
will further include the addition of a pedestrian/bicycle
trail along the northerly side of the park adjacent to the
public beach. The project does not involve any alterations
to the land, nor the construction of any physical facilities
except for the public walkways noted above.
2. Project Location.
The Newport Marinapark is located east of 18th Street, between
Balboa Boulevard and Newport Bay on Balboa Peninsula. The
precise location is shown on Exhibit "B" attached to the
proposed lease.
3. Discussion of Environmental Impacts.
The renewal of the existing leases per se will not involve
any physical change to the site, and therefore, will not
create any significant environmental impacts. The construction
of the public walkways will provide improved public access
to the existing public beach and will not, except for limited
short-term impacts associated with the actual construction,
have any significant adverse impacts.
The renewal of these leases will preclude the public use of
this property. However, there will be increased access to the
shoreline. Furthermore, the renewal of the leases will preclude
the necessity of relocating the residents of the trailer park
and will increase city revenues.
4. Basis for Negative Declaration.
This project has been carefully reviewed in conjunction with
Sections 15081, 15082, and 15083 of the Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970, as amended.
In view of the above discussion of Environmental Impacts and
the criteria set forth in these sections, it has been determined
that the project is not in conflict with the environmental
goals and plans of the community, is not in conflict with the
General Plan, will not have any impact on the physical environment,
and will improve public access to the existing public beach.
Therefore, it has been determined that this project will not have
a significant impact on the environment.
