Council Member Daigle commented on the Orange County system and addressed changes in
spectrum, noting that Public Safety is being asked to go from 800 MHz to 700 MHz. She commented
on the cost allocations the City is using which is by the number of radios. She questioned the City's
choice of allocation and the process for counting the radios, as well as the overall interoperability
and new features.
Assistant to the City Manager Houston reported that the effort to change the system has been a
multi -year process and that the Orange County team has been figuring out how to allocate funds
fairly and have determined that allocation by radio would be the fairest. He added that the City has
a lot of radios and has been in the process of reducing their numbers, which should reduce the total
cost at the end of the process. He added that part of the spectrum switch was to create
interoperability with other County agencies, as well as State and Federal agencies.
Fire Chief Poster addressed interoperability and noted that the legacy infrastructure needs to be
replaced. He addressed mandated changes when systems went digital and refining the spectrum so
that agencies could have their own piece of spectrum and not interfere with another. He addressed

XI. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON - AGENDA ITEMS
Lorian Petry stated she has corresponded with the City and read emails into the record requesting the
elimination of political signs on utility poles along major corridors. City Manager Kiff reported that he
has asked staff not to remove signs as it is dangerous. City Attorney Harp reported that the City
enforces the Municipal Code in a uniform manner and does not favor individual candidates.
Management has made a decision regarding the process of enforcement during an election cycle wherein
the Code is uniformly enforced.
Laura Curran spoke regarding the upcoming Mariners Mile charrette and encouraged City staff and
Council to attend. She expressed concerns in the lack of a clear process to pick the Congress for the New
Urbanism as the leader for the charrette, believed that the current agreement violates the contract
selection process, noted that this had not been signed off by Council, and there is no documentation or
staff report to inform the public. She asked that the City Council and staff support a planning process
and a selection of a contractor which allows for increased public information.
Devin LaBollita, representing Gary Wykidal, Gary C. Wykidal & Associates, presented a letter to the
City Attorney alleging that Orange County Water District candidate Leslie Daigle has abused her
position as a Council Member by using the City seal in her negative campaign email communications
and listing her City contact information. Further, Council Member Daigle violated State law by using
the City seal in this manner and that she, intentionally, dad not include the required disclosure in her
communication.
Jim Mosher believed that Measure Y is deceptive and confusing, and that the numbers in the ballot
question do not add up with the text of the ballot measure. He believed that the numbers are based on
the assumption that 356 homes will be removed from Newport Ridge and with them, the potential
reduction in future traffic. He stated that Measure Y does not remove any homes from Newport Ridge
and presented a Land Use Map from the current General Plan, noting that the map changes if it passes.
He added that there are no differences in the subdivision map or the numbers listed. In addition, he
commented on developer fees and wondered how less development will create more fees. He stated that
he is voting "no" on Measure Y.
In response to Council Member Gardner's request for clarification, Community Development Director
Brandt provided background related to the reduction of 356 dwelling units in Newport Ridge and
reported that City staff believes the measure accurately reflects Council's action in terms of reducing the
number of dwelling units that can be built in Newport Ridge. She added that the reduction does not
appear in Table LU -2, which is specifically for anomaly locations, because Newport Ridge is not an
anomaly location in the General Plan. She referenced Figure I.0 -15 relative to Statistical Area N which
depicts the Land Use designations for that area and that Newport Ridge includes two Land Use
designations. She noted that density is limited to one unit per lot and that the 356 unbuiit units were
part of Council's action in its adoption of Resolution No. 2014 -67.

20141
Council Member Gardner recused herself from this item since an A -frame sign may be
placed within 500 -feet of her residence.
Council Member Henn reported that Balboa Village would like a one -year trial period in the area in
order to use them and requested an amendment.
City Attorney Harp reported that the item was specifically noticed for the Corona del Mar area and
that, if Council wants to expand the area, it would be best to re- notice the matter.
Community Development Director Brandt reported that the notice was for the entire City and that
the Planning Commission made a recommendation to refine it to the Corona del Mar area. She
added that staff can bring the matter back and be explicit in the notice relative to the applicable
areas.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Selich's question, Council Member Henn noted that he is not
suggesting that the Corona del Mar area be subject to the one -year limitation.
City Manager Kiff suggested approving the subject item at this time and bringing it back as it
relates to expanding it to Balboa Village.
Motion by Council Member Henn, seconded by Council Member Curry, to find that the
adoption of Code Amendment CA2014 -005 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15305 and Section 15311of the CEQA Guidelines; and introduce
Ordinance No. 2014 -17, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Approving an
Amendment to Title 20 (Zoning Code) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to Allow A -frame Signs

14. Notice of Vacation of a Portion of Buena Vista Boulevard Street Right -of -Way (C -5949)
[381100 -20141
Public Works Director Webb provided a PowerPoint presentation to address the details of the
request, the location, and the existing use and conditions.
In response to Council Member Gardner's questions, Public Works Director Webb addressed
maintenance and lacing of landscaping as it relates to future planting. He added that the controls
are in the covenant.
Council Member Petros noted that the encroachment easement has value and asked for an
explanation of how the City is not giving that value away without being remunerated. Public Works
Director Webb reported that the vacation involves approximately 15,000 square feet of right -of -way
going to the coastal side. He added that it is someone else's property and that the City is giving it
back. Additionally, he reported that placing a street there in the future is not feasible and that the
value relates to public views and pedestrian walkways.
Council Member Gardner commented on improving public views over the course of time.
Council Member Henn reported that there would be immediate rollbacks of public views in terms of
landscaping that would have to be changed immediately. He pointed out that covenants would be
recorded against deeds and noted that this is a good solution that will have permanency associated
with it.
Motion by Council Member Henn, seconded by Council Member Petros, to adopt Resolution
No. 2014 -89, AResolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Ordering the Vacation and
Abandonment of a Portion of Street Right -of -Way (Buena Vista Boulevard) Adjacent to and
contiguous with 304 to 350 Buena Vista Boulevard; and Directing the City Clerk to Record Same with
the County Recorder's Office; direct staff to process the vacation of said right -of -way;
authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Restrictive Covenant Agreement; and
direct the City Clerk to have the Resolution, Vacation, and Restrictive Covenant Agreement
recorded by the Orange County Recorder.
Mayor Hill opened the public hearing.
Jim McGee, representing 18 homeowners that own the 21 lots along Buena Vista Boulevard, noted
that residents are in support of the vacation of the public right -of -way and addressed benefits of
doing so, including permanently maintaining public views.
Jim Mosher cautioned against giving away public rights of access. He referenced a vacation case to
be heard by the Coastal Commission and wondered if the proposed change requires a Coastal
Development Permit.
Council Member Petros noted that the covenant requires a 7 -foot clearance or lacing of trees. He
stated that there is no condition as to whether or not it would damage the health of a tree and asked
regarding standards relative to when the clearance or lacing would be appropriate. Public Works
Director Webb noted that lacing only applies to existing trees. City Manager Kiff reported that only
about three trees might have a health issue that would prohibit lacing. Overall, the view is
protected.
