Home My WebLink About05 - 2-Hour Parking RestrictionsCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report March 11, 2014 Agenda Item No. 5. TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Dave A. Webb, Public Works Director— (949) 644 -3330, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Eric Loke, Associate Civil Engineer PHONE: 949 - 644 -3336 TITLE: Adopt Resolution Removing Existing Two -hour Parking Restrictions on West 16th Street from Babcock Street to Placentia Avenue ABSTRACT: In an effort to improve the overall parking conditions on West 16th Street, staff recommends adopting a Resolution to Remove Existing Two (2) hour Parking Restriction on West 16th Street from Babcock Street to Placentia Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: a) Rescind Resolution No. 2009 -62; and b) Adopt Resolution 2014 -21, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Limiting the Parking of Vehicles on Certain Streets and Rescinding Resolution No. 2009 -62, for the removal of existing two (2) hour parking restriction on West 16th Street from Babcock Street to Placentia Avenue. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this item. DISCUSSION: Staff recently received a request from a property and business owner on West 16th Street to review the current 2 -hour parking limit for all of West 16th Street from Monrovia Avenue to Placentia Avenue. He stated that the over flow parking associated with the construction of a new assisted living facility (in Costa Mesa) coupled with the current two (2) hour parking 43 restrictions on West 16th Street from Babcock Street to Placentia Avenue has negatively affected businesses on the street. In 1971, the City Council approved a Resolution to limit the parking of vehicles to two (2) hours on both sides of 16th Street, between Babcock Street to Placentia Avenue. A copy of the City Council staff report from 1971 could not be located to determine the reasons for the original establishment of the two (2) hour restriction. However, with expanded development in the area and changes to local businesses, the existing two (2) hour parking restriction is no longer required or appropriate. A survey was sent to current property owners and tenants who take access to West 16th Street, notifying them of the request to change on- street parking conditions. The survey outlined the following three options: 1) keep the existing parking restriction; 2) extend the two (2) hour parking restriction westerly to Monrovia Avenue; or 3) remove all parking restrictions on West 16th Street. Responses received provided for mixed and inconclusive results. Upon completion of the assisted living facility, staff has observed that West 16th Street is unable to handle the parking demands. Compounding the parking problems is the uneven distribution of parking, with the unrestricted section of West 16th Street more impacted than the section with two (2) hour parking restriction. To improve the parking balance, and to lessen impacts to many area businesses, staff recommends removal of the existing two (2) hour parking restriction on West 16th Street from Placentia Avenue to Babcock Street through adoption of the proposed Resolution. Letters were sent to current property owners and tenants notifying them of the recommended removal of parking restriction and the opportunity to provide comments at the March 11, 2014 City Council meeting. 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).
