Re: UPDATE: Improvement Program and Parking Plan
Since the BVAC's last meeting on October 8, 2014, the City Council approved the Improvement
Program and a portion of the Balboa Village Parking Management Plan. The following
summarizes the Council's action and next steps for each program:
Improvement Program
The City Council approved the improvement program concepts on October 28, 2014, which
included the Balboa Village Design Guidelines, Streetscape Improvements, Wayfinding Sign
Program and Fagade Improvement Program. Specifically, the City Council:
1) Approved the Balboa Village Design Guidelines which are now are in effect and on the
City's website
(http://www.newportbeachca.gov/PLN/MAP DOCUMENTS/DESIGN GUIDELINES/Bal
boa%20Village%2ODesign%2OGuidelines October 2014.pdf);
2) Directed staff to return with a funding program to implement the streetscape,
wayfinding, and facade improvements. If the City Council finalizes approval of the
parking benefit district in January 2015, additional funding sources will be available; and
3) Directed staff to coordinate with the BVAC to finalize the gateway sign design. The
City's current budget includes funds to construct the gateway sign. The City is in the
process of retaining a sign contractor to finalize the design, develop the construction
plans and oversee construction.
Next Steps:
1) January 2015 — Review detailed gateway sign design with BVAC.
2) February 2015 — BVAC to review draft funding program and prioritization.
3) February 2015 — Present funding program to City Council.
4) March 2015 — Town Hall Meeting. Highlight planned improvements and programs.

Parking Management Plan
The Parking Management Plan includes the following programs. On November 25, 2014, the
City Council took the initial steps to approve Programs Two through Five, but requested
additional information pertaining to Program One.
Program One — Residential Permit Parking Program (RP3): the establishment of an
overnight resident permit parking program (RP3) for the area west of Balboa Village
between 7th Street and Adams Street. The annual permit fee has previously been
established, but program parameters and a daily guest pass fee must also be established.
Program Two — Parking Management District Plan and Overlay District: the creation of a
Parking Management District Plan and Overlay District that modifies required off-street
parking requirements for commercial uses within Balboa Village.
Program Three — Parking Benefit District: the creation of a parking benefit district related to
how parking revenues within Balboa Village will be budgeted and spent.
Program Four— Public Parking Fees: the modification of both on-street and off-street
parking meter fees on public property within Balboa Village.
Program Five — Other Parking Programs and Permits: the establishment of a voluntary
employee parking permit for Balboa Village businesses; a non-peak season resident
parking permit to park in Balboa Village; and a commercial patron parking validation
program. Fees for these permits need to be adopted.
Council Action:
1) The Ordinance to adopt the RP3 was not approved on the basis that the 2012,
survey conducted by the City did not indicate a majority of residents were in support
of the program. The Council directed staff to conduct another survey to better gauge
whether or not there is majority support for the program.
2) Introduced ordinances creating Parking Management District Plan and Overlay
District, establishing Parking Benefit District, and modifying parking meter rates.
3) Approved resolutions establishing funding for Area Benefit District Reserve, revising
parking fees for off-street parking, and establishment of permit program for
employees, resident parking in the Village, and patron validation.
Next Steps (Programs Two through Five):
1) January 13, 2015, City Council ordinances second reading. Ordinances become
effective February 12, 2015.
Next Steps (Program One - RP3):
1) January 16, 2015, mail resident and property owner surveys
2) January 30, 2015, surveys due
3) February 11, 2015, present results to BVAC
4) February 24, 2015, City Council to view results and consider adoption
5) March 10, 2015, City Council ordinance second reading
6) March 20, 2015, submit Coastal Development Permit application for RP3
