Home My WebLink About05 - Addition of Off-Street Parking Meter Zone 31TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: PHONE: TITLE: ABSTRACT: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report March 24, 2015 Agenda Item No. 5 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Dan Matusiewicz, Finance Director— (949) 644 -3123, dmatusiewicz @newportbeachca.gov Evelyn Tseng, Revenue Manager (949) 644 -3153 Addition of Off - Street Parking Meter Zone 31 California Vehicle Code ( "CVC ") Sections 32 and 22508 and Newport Beach Municipal Code ( "NBMC ") Section 12.44.030 allow the City to establish off - street parking meter zones by resolution. City Council approved the Newport Boulevard and 32nd Street Modification Project ( "Project') in 2011, which among other things, includes the renovation of a parking lot previously used exclusively by banking customers. Staff recommends establishing the Marcus Avenue Lot, which was purchased by the City as part of the Project, as an off - street parking meter zone to mitigate removal of on- street parking (the on- street parking was also metered). RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2015 -20, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Establishing an Off - Street Parking Meter Zone for the Marcus Avenue Parking Lot (Staff Report Attachment "A "), and amending Resolution No. 2000 -38 to establish Parking Meter Zone 31. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: If Council approves staff recommendation, one (1) pay station already in the City inventory will be moved to the Marcus Avenue Lot. Parking signs and other nominal lot improvements can be funded from existing budget appropriations. Because twenty -five (25) on- street parking meters will be removed and a minimum of twenty -seven (27) parking spaces will be created for the Project, any change in parking revenues is expected to be small. DISCUSSION: The City purchased the property located at 3204 Marcus Avenue and 3201 Newport Boulevard (Attachment "B ") as part of the Project to mitigate the removal of on- street parking as a result of widening Newport Boulevard. The parking lot located at 3204 Marcus Avenue ( "Marcus Lot') was previously used for private bank customer parking. Although the Marcus Lot is still in the design stage, staff anticipates that there will be at least twenty -seven (27) new parking stalls when the Project is complete. Twenty -five 5 -1 (25) on- street metered parking stalls will be removed as part of the Project. City staff recommends making the Marcus Lot a pay- station lot. Staff recommends a parking fee of $1.50 per hour, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., which would be consistent with most of the City's off - street parking lot meter fees. The Marcus Lot will not be a designated Annual Parking Permit (Blue Pole) parking area, as the twenty -five (25) on- street meters that will be removed are not Blue Pole meters. CVC Sections 32 and 22508 and NBMC Section 12.44.030 allow for the establishment of off - street parking zones. Resolution 2000 -38, as amended by Resolutions 2010 -39, 2013 -33, and 2014 -39, established 30 off - street parking meter zones and their fees within the City. The Marcus Lot would be the 31st off - street parking meter zone. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: 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), and categorically exempt pursuant to Sections 15303 (Class 3, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures - installation of small new equipment) and 15311 (Class 11, Accessory Structures — construction or placement of minor structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.
