42,000 first floor and a 400 space parking facility with 300 spaces for city hall and

City Council Minutes
May 22, 2007
Council Member Curry concurred with Mayor Pro Tem Selich and pointed out that
political tricksters were at play. Residents have been receiving telephone calls from
pollsters and creating false controversy. This Council decided at its last meeting
that all three parks would move forward with the same priority.
Council Member Henn also supported Mayor Pro Tem Selich's comments. He
emphasized that the land for Newport Center Park is not now and never was free.
The City gave up density to get the land and it cost,the City a great deal.
Dick Nichols said there was no reason there cpfild not be "active" uses on this large
site that would include a City Hall and paxlNite. The public definitely wants this
site studied further.
Barry Allen said the Parks Compassion rejected soccer fields on the site and
believed the Council should moveforward to build the park.,.

said that:3lxstra5 unset Ridge is ideal for an active park the Newport
is ideal for a passive park.
Mayor"IRosansky=asked if Mayor Pro Tem Selich's motion was suitable to the agenda
item a4 City Attorney Clauson responded that Mayor Pro Tem Selich's motion was
more of a motion for direction to bring items back to the Council for consideration
and was0therefore, appropriate.
Council!+Member Webb asked City Attorney Clauson to clarify the agenda item and
iaY06Pro Tem Selich's motion. He said he agreed that the 450 units might justify a
1 4,'acre park as a neighborhood park, however neighborhood parks should have
active uses. The General Plan defines neighborhood parks as ones with active uses
and would therefore have a higher priority. He would like for the Council to speed
up the Sunset Ridge Park project. The CIOSA agreement allowed senior housing on
this site when it was approved. He said he supported Mayor Pro Tem Selich's
motion item that would allow the Council to look at the site for potential inclusion of
a City Hall north of the library in order to be able to compare this site to the OCTA
site. However, he questioned Mayor Pro Tem's second proposal, which was
acceptance of the $600,000 donation and giving naming rights because that action
conflicts with Council Policy B -17. He requested that the Council seriously consider
existing Council policy before providing naming rights. Council Member Webb
Volume 58 - Page 160

City Council Minutes
May 22, 2007
reiterated his belief the City should look at getting the active parks completed before
spending funds to complete passive parks.
Council Member Daigle commended Mayor Pro Tem Selich's concepts. She felt the
motion took a step in the right direction for gathering valuable information.
Mayor Rosansky said he supported the portion of Mayor Pro Tem Selich's motion
that called for analyzing the costs for a City Hall on�the site. He corrected Council
Member Curry's statement regarding Council giving equal priority to building all
three parks and stated that the direction to staff °was that the Council gave equal

19. REPORT ON THE ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE
ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE
ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF NEW RESIDENTIAL USES THAT
ARE TRANSITORY IN NATURE AS WELL AS THE ISSUANCE OF NEW
SHORT -TERM LODGING PERMITS IN ALL RESIDENTIAL ZONING
DISTRICTS OF THE CITY [100- 20071.
City Attorney Clausen reported that tonight's B;ction is to receive and file a report
required by the Government Code to adopt `1 moratorium. The initial period of
adoption runs about 45 days and requires that 4,;report detailing that the conditions
leading to the moratorium were alleviat' in accdrdance with the government code
be presented about 10 days before the expiration o 1%e moratorium. Working with
outside counsel staff developed a,:;questionnaire that vas distributed to residents
living in close proximity to these. facilities.
Polly Marshall, Goldfarb Lipman Attorneys, said she workedosely with staff in
looking at existing ordinances. T-,he redlined ordinances and memorandum dated
May 13th speak to current and proposed ordinance wording. The most important
change in the proposed amendment is adding a definition of integral facilities.
Council Member Daigle 39%d,,, at kinds:' conditions the Planning Commission
and City Council coulq consideu under disciFetionary review. Attorney Marshall
responded that the use'permit traditiVnally allows very broad discretion. However,
such discretion cannot bd_used,.W impose �*iminatory conditions. The complaints
tend -td' include commercial, -uses and the City could impose conditions that would
deal`with those conditions c, r the general health and welfare of the neighborhood.
Attorney Marshall pointed out that multiple locations for one use may be considered
a larg4"h use af-R,1 Bauch the City would have a right to regulate that use under the
1�aCUhties process. AfSOMrcluded is a change that would prohibit a facility that
pro Nnse sercnces to residents who live in the residences and also provide services to
perwho do not live in that facility. Under state law cities are required to treat
licefacihtiQlf or six or under the same as it would for single -family uses. The
definitio 0 has chaF ged so that it includes only licensed facilities. If facilities are
unlicensed and small they will be prohibited. However, those homes can be given
right of i;iuse as a reasonable accommodation for disabled individuals. All uses
involving parolees and probationers where the home contains two or more
ldividktals not related by blood who occupy homes and who are paying for the
ml , it�'�in some fashion are prohibited in residential areas.
Council Member Henn asked whether a parolee who is disabled by a drug or alcohol
problem could be allowed and Attorney Marshall responded that if two or more
parolee's occupy a home and are disabled by drug or alcohol the use would not be
allowed. The home would have to apply for special accommodations.
Attorney Marshall spoke to a new chapter involving rezoning and reasonable
accommodation stating that the abutting property owners and individuals living
across the street would be noticed of a zone change and have the right to appeal the
rezoning. Should the City choose to do so it may adopt its own certification process
rather than the County's certification process.
Volume 58 - Page 162
City of Newport Beach
City Council Minutes
May 22, 2007
Council Member Henn asked what the consequences were of not meeting the
requirements. Attorney Marshall responded that the facility could not operate
unless it qualified for reasonable accommodation through the application process.
There may be a reason why the smaller homes cannot meet the separate
requirements listed on pages 26 and 27 of the draft but still believe they might be
able to show reason they should be able to operate. Because of the nature of
reasonable accommodation individuals must be given the right to make an
individual case based on the individual circumstands: Council Member Henn noted
that state law references local need and he did nod see any reference in the proposed
language. Attorney Marshall stated that findings would focus on local need and
number of facilities. If the City were ever. Make a decision that there were too
many it would need to be a careful decision. TFea permit process is a discussion of
the welfare of the community.
Council Member Webb asked if ;tie City should be requ g that houses meet ADA
requirements. Attorney Marshall said that would not be - possible for the six and
under facilities unless the code was, changed to include restrict Rrs for single -family
residences. For the six and overfacilities, the state imposes rigid` requirements. She
said she would hesitate to say
that a local government could impose ADA
requirements unlesi%1 4ey were comm6rcial establishments.
Council Member Cu* y ask iif it were °Attorney Marshall's opinion that these
amendments would pals muster�a. Attorney lYIarshall responded that she felt that
certain items were defei�sible Ho_. er this is -breaking new ground and she would
r.
not guarantee any outcoffie.
Council Member Henn now that the ordinance did not include a sunset clause or
h?w uses would be required`to cease operation. Attorney Marshall said that no uses
would, become illegal, they would be subject to conditional use requirements whether
they are -rand fathered" or :have a specific time period in which to apply for
txunditio— -use permits "ti ecover their loss. Council Member Henn asked why no
separation `o .distance was included. Attorney Marshall explained that that Ninth
Circu'3f� Courf'd termined that distance was determined to be facial discrimination
unless ere is `scific threat of harm. Council Member Henn asked if Attorney
Marshal had look a for potential threat of harm and she responded that she had not
but had instructed staff to look for such findings. The case law says that there must
be a specific and real danger.
Marshall responded to Mayor Rosansky that on page 4 the language was
be and rather than or with respect to parolee /probationer, etc.
Council Member Henn asked about the 14 -day appeal of the Planning Commission's
decision procedure and City Attorney Clauson stated that was language contained in
today's requirement. Council Member Henn said he was not clear on who could
appeal and how long they had to appeal the decision and Attorney Marshall
explained that it would be a Planning Commissioner, not a citizen. City Attorney
Clauson said that it would be the same 14 -day period and may require outside
expert determination.
Senior Planner Patrick Alford summarized suggested changes to Title 20 (Zoning
Code) and Chapter 5.95 dealing with short -term lodging permits and operations
Volume 58 - Page 163
City of Newport Beach
City Council Minutes
May 22, 2007
resulting from the short term lodging permits. Rental homes would be prohibited in
the R -1 and RA districts and would be allowed by right in the R 1.5, R2 and MFR
districts requiring a short -term lodging permit. Chapter 5.95 would include new
language to the findings to note the long tradition of single - family vacation homes in
the City, the positive fiscal impacts and reference the coastal land use plan, which
supports the short -term (30 -days or less) lodging units as visitor accommodation. In
addition, he would propose adding a requirement that managing agencies obtain the
short -term lodging permit. There are instances-bin which there is multiple -
ownership and he felt it would be appropriate to identify central management and
point of contact. Language would also be adder to require that the owners and
managers comply with the municipal code ar "conditions of the short -term lodging
permit. Additionally, language would be added bout "noticing" so that all property
owners within 100 feet of the site wouldlie notifie& about the permit that would also
provide contact information; add a requirement for Ypections at the initial issuance
of the permit and every four years thereafter; require a written rental lease
P
agreement limited to one per unit; establish a minimum'kntal period, set overnight
occupancy requirements, require disclasure, and require a j i dure for response to
complaints; and, add a condition pla(ffirg a limit on the numbe %f vehicles allowed at
the site.
Mayor Pro Tem Selich asked why (Pale 20) the City would want to get into the
business of monitor g'rental units and "compliance issues because he saw no nexus
to the survey impacts l Alford said it would ensure permit compliance and
monitor safety concern.
i�
Mayor Pro., Tem Selich aiked if;.-Che ordiii0be would assist enforcement in cases of
non- compli0mce. City Altorf ey Clauson responded that it would and allows
enforcement to make certi the use and number of cars at any given unit could be
ivonitored.; Council Memb& Henn said he was aware of at least one illegal unit.
Mayor Pro Tem Selich said , seemed to him that the City should single out illegal
units He ii wisp concerneiZ about responding within two hours and limiting the
N r` of cars. IVIr Al%rdrWaid enforcement could be difficult but during the
ation process a lot "'of information would be imparted to the City. With
os and repeated violations the language would provide for enforcement.
Council ember Curry said that the moratorium would expire at the end of the 45-
day perd. City Attorney Clauson said it was staffs recommendation not to
continue&,he 45 -day moratorium for vacation rental permits. The language proposed
for Ch a Ler 5.95 would impose restrictions for future use.
Dick ,Nichols said the current language and draft language was not in accordance
wRli7 state law. City Attorney Clauson responded that there are certain provisions
in the law that speaks to non - medical services and if a facility provides non - medical
services they must be licensed. If it were just a sober living facility not providing
non - medical services it would not need to be licensed.
Kay Mortenson was very concerned about illegal modifications to single family units
and what uses and density would be allowed under the short -term rental ordinance.
Max Liskin referred to the language in the CRC Health Corp 10 -K manual and
suggested that it would behoove Sober Living by the Sea to work closely with the
City on a pro - active basis.

XVIX. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Motion by Council Member Gardner to reeoiisider Council's action taken on May
8, 2007 to award a refuse collection contract-4o %;are Disposal.
In response to Council Member Henri; City Attorne"yIi lauson explained the process
and indicated that if the motioOF passes Council d reconsider the action
approving the contract at the nett meeting. Public W.Director Badum stated
that if the Council decides to re -bid,, the current hauler '%r' agreed to extend its
contract for three months. =;
Patrick Munoz said his client was pared to move forward in accordance with the
approved contract and
, §aid he was concerned about fairness to his client.
City Attorney Claus
resp`oled to Mayor Pro Tern Selich that the contract has not
been executed, therefore it is subl�iYC' t, ,o reconsideration by the City Council.
Jay W,a;e;;asked Council not io reconsideF their decision. In accordance with
CouA',s vote and staffsx,ata'tements he ordered trucks and trash containers to
cm mence trash pickup 6 nning July 1st. Council Member Henn asked if the
bVQre contracts could be canceled and Mr. Ware said that about $1.5 worth of special
c,w
equipment wa ordered and could not be canceled.
7sns Rosa ,Waste Management, said that a threat of a lawsuit could be indicative of
a fu � e relationship He sazd he was concerned about the procesa taken during the
last�', CounG,il meeting. If the Council were to change its proposal he would
welcomthe opportunity to participate and work with the City to provide cunt nuing
service find would ve the City a three or four month contract extension.
Director Mark Harmon stated that staff never directed Ware to
order
C"hnsal Member Curry asked what the cost differential between Ware and Waste
M . gement would be for the three -month period. General Services Director
Harmon said he did not have that figure. Council Member Curry said it would be
safe to say that the City's cost would be higher for the three -month term with Waste
Management. General Services Director Harmon said it was important to get the
best deal for the 10 -year term. His understanding was that the cost per house would
be the same. Ware offered additional containers and said they would change the
overall cost of the contract depending on the negotiations. Also, the other haulers
were willing to re- negotiate the terms of the contract as well.
Mr. Ware said that Ware committed to 40 percent recycling percentage, confirmed
that the insurance limits would be increased and the cart charges would be reduced.

ep`onths (to November 8th), which will allow time to proceed with the
sionsi iisidered by Council at its last meeting. It is anticipated the
be considered at the Planning Commission's second meeting in June
t to Council. She added this moratorium extension does not extend
on 9i7ort -term lodging permits which will expire on June 8, 2007.
ion by Mayor Pro Tem Selich, City Attorney Clauson explained the
the moratorium should it be necessary.
Dick Nichols stated he was generally pleased with the proposal, however, was confused by
the interim urgency ordinance process, as he thought any proposed code changes would go
through the hearing process. He added that he feels the definition of unlicensed residential
care facilities is incomprehensible as written and patently wrong and suggested possible
changes. He further explained why he thinks it is illegal and cited excerpts from the
California Code of Regulations.
Edward Dilkes, representing Sober Living by the Sea, presented their opposition in writing.
He stated they are fairly certain most of the moratorium is not enforceable, especially
against licensed facilities. Sober Living by the Sea has been in the city for 20 years and has
sought to participate in the process of this formulation and has been unable to do so except

by shoving its way through the door. He indicated Sober Living by the Sea's willingness to
help if there are legitimate problems. They don't believe this extension or the ordinance
contemplated will solve any of the problems, but rather focused code enforcement will help
resolve the issues. Iie requested that the maps and charts from the original hearing be
included as exhibits for this meeting as well.
In response to a question by Council Member Webb, Mr. Dilkes stated the packet presented
tonight is not profoundly different from what was originally submitted and apologized that
it was not provided to Council sooner. He will ensure future documents are submitted in a
timely manner to allow Council time to peruse them.
Bob Rush stated that Sober Living by the Sea ha eer "Viven every opportunity to
participate in the process. He expressed concern that;; taff was not taking advantage of
extending the moratorium for the full 10 -1/2 months llo a as there are a number of areas
that have not been adequately addressed. +'I

In resp" to q tions by Council Member Webb, City Attorney Clausen clarified the

e tended for u to 10 -1/2 months and then upon expiration (of
x;if�i;�"
either the recommended five -month or suggested 10 -1/2 -month period) could be extended for
an additionaltyear. Council may elect to extend it longer, however, it is her recommendation
to only extend it for a five -month period. During the moratorium, the ordinance will be
finalized and, along with findings, presented to the Planning Commission at its second
meeting in June. Depending upon their recommendations, it could be scheduled for another
Planning Commission hearing or forwarded to the Council for consideration as early as
July. This leaves the period from August to November to complete hearings. She noted that
upon Council's final action, the moratorium will no longer be needed.
Council Member Daigle questioned what the City's efforts will be in soliciting input from
those that will be regulated by this ordinance and what steps can be taken for a more
comprehensive information- gathering process. City Attorney Clausen stated that input will

be welcomed and will be included in the report to the Planning Commission and Council.
Denys Oberman advised it took approximately one year to pass the ordinance changes that
occurred in 2004. She commended the City for attempting to resolve this issue as quickly as
possible, however, concurs that five months is pretty aggressive. She stated the City does
not seem to have a handle on current uses relative to the General Plan, particularly in Lido
Island, Balboa Peninsula, Newport Heights and the surrounding area, and Corona del Mar,
and that these areas will need to be revisted, as they are mischaracterized. She added the
City will want to look carefully at its uses and incorporate a program for use management to
regulate, manage, and integrate the uses.
Marilyn Alexander expresssed concern with short -term r gitials dnd possible changes. Mayor
Rosansky advised that short -term rentals have b !II,removed from the moratorium
extension. City Attorney Clauson added they pr,__pose ring a draft of the short -term
rental regulation changes to the June 26th Councftieetmg U' u input.

In response to an audience question, City Attorney Clauson explained this is not a proposed
ordinance, but an initiation of code changes.
Denys Oberman stated the ordinance is a good start; however, there are a number of areas
that need to be addressed to satisfactorily regulate these uses consistent with the General
Plan. She identified some key areas and stated they are prepared to collaborate with the
City and others on this issue.
In response to a question by Council Member Daigle, City Attorney Clauson stated use
