It is desirable to discuss with the Commission our tree trim-
ming procedures. As most of you know, during the past two
years we have improved our trimming cycle from three years
to two years. This is a result of additional funding that
allowed contract tree trimming to aid our overall operation.
• Because of our new techniques, as described in the attached
memo, we have trimmed some trees that were in an annual flower-
ing condition. Assistance from the Commission and interested
homeowners to develop policies that will satisfy all concerns
on tree tirmming is being pursued.

FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: TREE TRIMMING PRACTICES
During the City Council study session of August 9th,
( the City Council requested the P. B & R Commission to review
the City's present policy on frequency and extent of tree
trimming within the City. The Council suggested that in-
terested persons from Homeowners' Associations in the Corona
del Mar area and some specialists in parkway trees be in-
volved in the review. The Council further suggested that
possibly some species of trees could go longer then two
years for trimming, while others may go two years or less.
• This subject was prompted by complaints from Corona
del Mar that the City was trimming too frequently and that
the trimming coincided with the times in which the trees
were in blossom and coincided with the times in which the
nesting cycle of birds was occurring.
Jack Brooks attended the City Council study session
and will be able to provide valuable input as to the nature
and extent of the City Council's concerns.

FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT :Tree Trimming Progress Report
STUDY SESSION NO. 7
For many years.our tree trimming procedures were to work four separate crews
in four different locations. The crews were 2 man operations, one trimmer
and one groundperson operating the brusher and clean -up. For efficiency pur-
poses, we trimmed in a grid pattern which means an area was started and com-
pleted with no loss of travel and set -up time.
During the 1970's a high rate of residential development ocurred in the City
and many street trees were planted. A vigorous street tree planting program
was also encouraged in the older parts of the City during this period of time.
During this residential growth period and'a natural factor of having the trees
growing larger in the decade of the 70's presented this Department with a work
problem. As no new staff had been authorized during this period we were faced
with a situation of having a three year or longer time span between trimmings.
The community response to this schedule indicated a need to improve.
During the 1981 -82 fiscal year our budget was increased by $40,000 to provide
assistance for tree trimming by private independent contract. This contract
was awarded to Allied Tree Company, a well known large tree firm. In addition
to this added resource, we studied their operation and developed an efficiency
program based on their techniques to improve the capabilities of our staff. By
combining our crews we are able to trim with fewer traffic problems, better
supervision, fewer areas to clean up and have created a friendly competition
amoung our tree trimmers. „ �.
In developing a schedule to implement this new method of operation it was
necessary to have our area crews finish a location and then be combined. In
order to achieve the bringing together of the crews, it was necessary to dou-
ble back to some areas sooner than normal. However, everything has now evened
out and we are now on a two year cycle for trimming. This is satisfactory to
the property owner and extremely good for the health of the tree.
By-increasing our-production (30 %) we are also able to trim our trees located
in parks as we reach an area. In the past, we only trimmed park trees when
problems were identified. Our park trees are now getting much better care than
in the past.
As we have developed our' new procedures, trimming of the tree foliage is only
the first step in our new operation. We long have been faced with extensive
damage to side walks, curbs and gutters and in many cases damage to private'
•property. All of this damage has been identified as resulting from the street
tree root growth. Our second step will be to develop a preventative root prun-
ing program that will decrease the costly concrete repair and liability.

Tree Trimming Progress Report - Page 2
• The more frequent trimming of the trees is very important in address4n9','.this
problem for the following reasons:
1. Tree foliage and tree roots have a balancing of each other as the
roots take in nutrients and water necessary for producing food for
the tree. The food is manufactured by the foliage of the.tree and
distributed to various parts of the plant as needed to maintain life
and produce new growth which would include the new growth .of roots.
In essence, the trimming of the tree is like puttinq'it on,'a diet.
2. We need to implement a preventitive root prunning'program. In order
to root prune, the foliage should not be heavy and the tree should
be laced out to allow air to flow through it.
n
LJ
3. When the roots are cut, the tree can not take in 'a'much water and
nutrients as may be needed. Therefore, the foli'agA of the tree
should be reduced to compensate for the loss of roots.
It has been satisfying to get our tree operation into this work situation.
We can look forward to trimming on a two year cycle, which is desirable by
the property owner, and work aggresively toward eliminating root problems that
have caused major problems during the past.

The City has done a fine job of tree trimming in Corona
del Mar. We are particularly pleased with the cutting
of palm fronds on Goldenrod Ave, because the falling
fronds were hazardous.
There was a street however, which suffered from the
pruning process being carried out at the wrong time.
Narcissus Ave. with its magnificent flowering euca-
lyptus trees, no longer exhibits its glorious foliage.
It is sad to walk that street and see what a misguided
adherence to a schedule has wrought.
Common sense and certainly a sense of esthetics should
have prevailed. Will the Council wisely direct that
the next tree- trimming,schedule take into account
the flowering period of some of the most beautiful
trees along the Orange Coast?
Sincerely yours,

The attached material with the previously provided Marinapark
Study of 1972 gives a good background of the subject property.
As the leases expire in 1985 the requested study will provide
important information and /or recommendations for Marinapark.
As indicated, the Commission has been given a year to formulate
the study of alternate uses. I would recommend that Chairman
Stuart appoint a sub - committee to work with staff to develop a
preliminary report that can be brought back to the Commission
in three to four months.

On August,23rd the Newport Beach City Council directed
the P, B & R Department /Commission to institute additional
studies and prepare alternate uses for the Marinapark Mobile
Home Park. As you know, the current leases extend through 1985.
The study, therefore, should be complete for City Council review
within one year. This should give ample time for the studies
necessary to list feasible alternatives. The study, in addition
to listing alternate land uses, should be specific in the follow-
ing areas. --
1. Capital costs to implement the,alternate land
• use plans.
2. Maintenance and operation costs to maintain the
alternate land use plans.
3. Estimated value of the current property.

Proposal
It is proposed to change the zoning on the property from the Unclas-
sified District to the Unclassified /MHP District. Amendment procedures
are outlined in Chapter 20.84 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
Planning Commission.Action and Recommendations
At its meeting of August 5, 1982', the Planning Commission voted
(5 Ayes, 1 Abstention and 1 Absent) to (1) disapprove Amendment
No. 576, (2) to recommend to the City Council that the Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Commission be directed to initiate additional studies
and prepare a plan for the ultimate use of the site, and (3) to
recommend that an amendment to the City's Local Coastal Program be
initiated when feasible (that is, when a plan and a schedule for the
redevelopment of the site has been adopted).
Section 20.84.040 of the Municipal Code provides that if the Planning
Commission disapproves an amendment application, no further action
shall be taken unless an appeal, is filed in writing with the City
•Council within twenty -one days after such disapproval. Since the
City Council directed the Planning Commission to commence public
hearings to determine the advisability of imposing the mobile home
park overlay zone on the Marinapark property, and inasmuch as the
Planning Commission has passed on to the City Council additional recom-
19 T0: City Council - 2'.
•mendations regarding the Marinapark site, the Council may desire to
call this matter up for review on its own motion, as provided for
under Section 20.84.060. The last meeting that the City Council will
have to consider setting a public hearing on the Planning, Commission's
disapproval of Amendment No. 576 is August 23, 1982, If the City
Council does not wish.to consider Amendment No. 576, it may still
act on the Planning Commission's remaining Marinapark recommendations
independent of Amendment No. 576,
Attached for the information and review of the City Council is an

Planning Director Hewicker presented information on the
most recent sales of coaches in the Marinapark Mobile
Home Park. He stated that indications are that people
are paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $75,000 to
$90,000 as a lot premium for space in Marinapark,
recognizing that the leases expire in 1985. He added
that each individual sale and new lease has to be
approved by the City Council.
The public hearing opened in connection with this item
and Mr. James Parker, 1201 Dove Street, representing
the tenants of Marinapark Mobile Home Park, appeared
before the Commission. Mr. Parker stated that this
issue is virtually identical to that of the DeAnza
Mobile Home Park issue. He stated that the overlay
zone provides an added layer of protection for the
actual residents of the mobile home park.
Mr. Parker stated that in this particular case, the
City of Newport Beach is the landowner. He stated that
the overlay zone requires that a landowner who wishes
to change a mobile home use to another use, must
present a specific plan. He stated that this plan must
go through the public hearing process and must allow
for relocation assistance, as required by State law.
He stated that the tenants of Marinapark are in favor
of the overlay zone.

Commissioner Balalis asked how many full time tenants
reside in Marinapark. Mr. Parker stated that of the 58
spaces in Marinapark, the staff report indicates that
there are 23 permanent residents.
Commissioner Balalis questioned the definition of a
permanent resident. Mr. Parker stated that many tests
have been applied to determine what constitutes a
permanent resident, such as number of days a person
sleeps in a given place, if the person is registered to
vote at that location, or if the person's children
attend school in the district.
Mr. Parker stated that although Marinapark does not
have a 100 percent occupied permanent residency, he
stated that 50 percent of the people who signed their
leases in 1973 with Marinapark, are still residing in
the Park. He also stated that some of the tenants,
which are not on a full -time basis, have resided at
Marinapark for a cumulatively longer period than
others, which indicates an on -going commitment. He
stated that many of the permanent residents of
Marinapark are senior citizens.
Chairman King stated that he does not assess absentee
owners as having any commitment to the City. He stated
that if the absentee owners have an income generating
piece of property, it is in their best interest to
continuing renewing the lease year after year.
Chairman. King stated that this issue and the DeAnza
Mobile Home Park issue are significantly different, in
that the landlords are different; one being the City,
as opposed to a private landlord. He stated that this
proposal would cause the City to take an action against
itself, by adding another layer of both cost and time,
when the area is public tidelands and has been planned
L
as public recreation open -space for some time.

the tenants of Marinapark. He stated that the City
will undoubtedly require this layer of protection for
the tenants of the other mobile home parks within the
City and will impose this overlay zone on every private
owner of mobile home parks in the City. He stated that
because the City is the landowner in this particular
case, the City should not be exempt from the overlay
zone, which it imposes on private landowners.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the Local Coastal Plan
and the Housing Element designates this property as
recreational and environmental open space. He stated
that the other mobile home parks within the City do not
have this designation. Therefore, he stated that a
specific plan need not be developed for this property,
as all of the documents indicate an existing plan for
recreational and environmental open space on the
Marinapark property.
Mr. Parker stated that the current lease which exists
between the City and the tenants of Marinapark, grants
to the 'tenants the option to renew the term of the
lease for an additional period of time, unless the City
has decided and adopted a specific plan to use the
tidelands for tideland purposes, or to use the Park for
some other public purpose. He -stated that the City has
retained for itself, the absolute right to control its
desired use of the property. However, he stated that
the City is required to formally adopt such a plan. He
stated that the adoption of the mobile home overlay
zone requires the City to adopt such a plan,
Mr. Parker referred to a mobile home park in the
Malibu area which was owned by a governmental entity.
He stated that the leases were cancelled and-all of the
tenants moved out, because the mobile home park was to
be converted for public purposes. He stated that this
occurred several years ago and the property still sits
vacant, because the governmental entity did not have a
specific plan for the property and did not go through
the public hearing process.

Mr. Parker stated that the Marinapark property is
valuable land and the mobile home park is a good
interim use which meets a number of City policies, such
as providing a variety of housing within the City. He
stated that this is probably the closest to affordable
housing within the City of Newport Beach.
Chairman.King stated that a mobile home park is a good
interim use of the property and that the City is
committed to that use until the lease expires in 1985.
Mr. Parker referred to the Marinapark Planning Study
which he stated is 10 years old. He stated under the
mobile home overlay zone, the City would be required to
develop and adopt a specific plan which can be defined
to the tenants of Marinapark before they are displaced
and relocated.
Commissioner Balalis stated that the tenants of
Marinapark have a contractural agreement with the City
for a specified amount of time in their lease until
1985 and a specified time of renewal for five years,
unless the City takes other action. He stated that the
placement of an overlay zone on Marinapark,
accomplishes absolutely nothing for the tenants of
Marinapark. He stated that the overlay zone provides
protection for other mobile home park tenants, where
the tenants do not have a specified length of time for
occupancy.

Mr. Parker stated that according to the terms of the
i
lease, the City Council could theoretically say that
Marinapark is no-longer required for any public trust
purpose or any other public purpose, and Marinapark
would no-longer'be in existence after 1985. He stated
that the imposition of the overlay zone on Marinapark
would add more protection to the tenants of the
Marinapark Mobile Home Park. He stated that the City
should subject themselves to the same public hearing
process, as any other landowner in the City would have
to.
Mr. Parker stated that the Local Coastal Plan only
indicates that the Marinapark property will rezoned for
an open space district.

Planning Director Hewicker stated that the LCP Land Use
Plan contains language that the mobile home park will
be retained and public access improved bayward of the
mobile home park. He stated that prior to the time
that the City can change the use of the property,
public hearings would have to be held and it would have
to be heard by the Coastal Commission, before the LCP
.Land Use.Plan could be changed.
Mr. Robert Burnham, Assistant City Attorney, referred
to the gift of public funds issue and stated that if
DeAnza Bayside wants to redevelop their property, they
can fund the relocation, benefits, and compensation
which would have to be paid to the existing tenants
through the profits which would be derived from the
redevelopment of the DeAnza property. He added that
the City does not have this option, in this particular
case. He stated that in the event the overlay zone is
approved for Marinapark, the issue of the gift of
public funds should be researched further.
Mr. Tom Heinz, resident of 217 19th Street, appeared
before the Commission and stated that the tenants of
Marinapark are approaching the end of their ten year
lease. He stated that there is a need for public use
facilities in the area for boating purposes. He
suggested that during the next two years, a solid
proposal should be developed for this property.
Commissioner Balalis expressed his concern with the
metal posts which impede access to the area. Mr. Heinz
concurred and stated that these should "be removed to
improve public access.
Ms. Rae Cohen, resident of 1501 Antigua Way, and
Chairman of the Subcommittee for Marinapark for the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, appeared
before the Commission. Ms. Cohen stated that the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission voted 6 Ayes
and 1 Abstention, that the request for a Mobile Home
Park overlay zone for Marinapark be denied and that the
Marinapark area be pursued for development as a marine
and beach park. She stated that there is a great need
for additional bay access for small boat launching in
this area and dingy storage. She stated that this
property should now be utilized for public purposes,
since it has been leased property since 1955.

Commissioner Winburn .asked Ms. Cohen how the swimming
beach and the small boat launching area between 18th
and 19th Street is progressing. Ms. Cohen stated that
this area is being utilized by the public, but the
street ends are congested because there is not enough
space for the boats and trailers to park. She stated
that there are many residents of Newport Beach who
desire access to the bay and the Marinapark property is
a good location.
Commissioner Balalis suggested that the Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Commission also consider providing some
type of housing for a mixed -use concept in this area.
He expressed his concern for the tenants of Marinapark
who have resided at the Park on a full time basis for
at least the last five years. He suggested' that
perhaps 25 residential units be.provided, along with
the proper parking, and small boat launching
facilities, which would constitute a multi -use
facility.
Commissioner Goff asked if a mobile home park is an
appropriate use for tidelands trust land. Mr. Burnham
stated that this question has been asked in the past.
He stated that the answer depends upon the size of the
parcel, the type of residential uses, and the duration
of time involved.
In response to a hypothetical question posed by
Commissioner Goff, Mr. Burnham stated that if
litigation in the future were determine that a mobile
home park is not an appropriate use for tidelands trust
land, the existing tenants would be given the right,
over an extended period of time, to relocate. He also
stated that such a litigation would be subject to
appeal.
Commissioner Kurlander stated that the California Civil
Code requires a 12 -month notice for the change of use
of a mobile home park. He stated that in the event of
such a change, the tenants would be given a minimum 12-
month notice.

in this area will be staggering if boat launching
facilities are provided at this location. He stated
that boat launching facilities would be more feasible

Proposal
It is proposed to change the zoning on the property from the R -4 District and
the Unclassified District to the R -4 /MHP District and Unclassified /MHP
District. Amendment procedures are outlined in Chapter 20.84 of the Newport
Beach Municipal Code.
Suggested Action
Hold hearing; close hearing; if desired,
Recomnnnd to the City Council that Amendment No. 576, reclassifying
the Marinapark Mobile Horn Park site from the Unclassified District
to the Unclassified /MHP District be approved.
Since the time of the legal notice and first staff report additional project
review has occurred. It was determined that the R -4 parcel is not a part of
the mobile horn park and should not be included in the reclassification. The
suggested action has-been prepared to reflect this determination.
Environmental Significance
• This project has been reviewed and it has been determined that it is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (Section 15079.3). CDQA does not apply to activities and
approvals by any local government, as defined in Section 30109 of the Public
Resources Code, necessary for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal
L�? / - TO: Planning Commission - 2
• program pursuant to the California Coastal Act (oamiencing with Section 30000
of the Public Resources Code).
Conformance with the General Plan
Land Use Element. The Land Use Element of the General Plan (Pg. 19)
designates the site as "Recreational and Environmental Open Space with the
following discussion of the Mobile Hare Park site.
" Marinapark shall continue as a mobile home park until such time as
that use is phased out, at which time the property shall be rezoned
to the OS - Open Space - District."
The proposed rezoning will prohibit redevelopment of the mobile hone park and
insure the continued use of the property as a,mobile home park until such time
as the MHP designation is removed. when the MHP Zone is removed the site can
be redeveloped and reclassified to Open Space as stated in the Land Use
Element. Therefore, application of the Mobile Home overlay Zone to this site
is consistent with the Land Use Element.
Housing Element. The Housing Element discussion of mobile home parks
(Pp. 45 -48) consists of a general overview of the City's mobile hone parks,
the tenants living in mobile home parks, and the cost of mobile here housing.
An analysis of housing costs shows that a mobile hone can be a source of
housing for lea and moderate inane households who have owned their mobile
hares for several years. However, if mobile hone prices such as those
observed in 1981 and discussed in the Housing Element prevail the cost of a
mobile hone will exceed the affordability ranges of low and moderate income
households. Housing Element Objective 7 which is aimed at pramting and
assisting the development of housing for low and moderate incare households
has an implementation action directed towards mobile home parks.
Implementation Action 7e states that the City will preserve mobile home park
land uses through the establishment of a mobile here park zone. The proposed
rezoning is consistent with the Housing Element objective.
Recreation and Open Space Element. The Recreation and open Space Element
(Pg. 17) states that the Balboa Peninsula is not considered to be deficient in
terms of parks. However, the Element also identifies the existing Las Arenas
Park for expansion and development as a marine - oriented park. A concept plan
for the redevelopment of Marinapark /Las Arenas Park was approved by the City
Council in June of 1972. Appling the Mobile Hare Zone to the Marinapark
Mobile Home Park would not preclude the removal of the mobile home park and
the implementation of a redevelopment plan. Therefore, the application of the
mobile here zone to this site is not inconsistent with the Recreation and Open
Space Element.
Marinapark Planningr Studv
• A comprehensive planning study for the Marinapark site was prepared for the
City Council- and the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission in 1972. •A
copy of this study was attached to the June 10, 1982 staff report which
discussed the setting of this item for ,public hearing. If additional copies
of this study are needed they are available at the Planning Department. The

mobile hare park such as those discussed in the 1972 Marinapark Planning
Study. The Planning Department staff will be meeting with the Parks, Beaches,
and Recreation Catmission on Tuesday, August 3rd-and report their findings and
reconnendations to the Planning Carmission at the August 5th meeting.
Land Use Plan of the Local Coastal Program
The Development Policies and Land Use Plan (LUP) of the Local Coastal Program
discuss the Marinapark Mobile Home Park (Pg. -42). The mobile bane park
portion of the site is designated for "Recreational and Environmental Open
Space" uses. In addition, the LUP states that it is the intent of the City to
preserve the mobile ham park use as a means of providing a variety of housing
opportunities within the City. Therefore, the proposed rezoning is consistent
with the Land Use Plan of the Local Coastal Program.
Tidelands Trust
The Marinapark site consists of approximately 5 acres of tidelands and
submerged lands granted to the City of Newport Beach by the State of
California on May 25, 1919 and April 5, 1927. On May 29, 1929, this grant was
amended by the ,State of California to set our provisions relating to the
granting of franchises upon or leases of these certain tidelands. An
additional portion of the property was acquired from the Pacific Electric Land
Company on July 7, 1919.
In 1972, the City Attorney give the opinion that residential uses are
appropriate uses of the tidelands trust. At the time the leases have been
granted or extended, the City Council has made the determination that the
leases are not inconsistent with the trust purposes imposed upon public
tidelands. Also, it has been found that the leases are not in violation of
•the gift clause of the State Constitution and that they complied with the
Charter of the City of Newport Beach. Litigation has resulted in opinions
that only those residential uses in which there is a general, state -wide
interest would be consistent with the trust obligations. The June 10 staff
report mentioned hotels or motels as a residential use with •statewide
13
5/ , TO: ' Planning Commission - 4
•interest. In addition, recent legislation (AB 2853 Housing Elements) and
litigation has established that there is a state -wide interest in the supply
of housing particularly housing affordable to low and moderate income
households. Therefore, the acceptability of long tern, private residential
uses on this site is not clear.
Background
on May 10, 1982, the City Council directed the,Planning Commission to co mience
public hearings to determine the advisability of imposing the mobile home park
zone on Marinapark. At the June 10, 1982 Planning Commission meeting the
Cammission set the reclassification of the Marinapark Mobile Hone Park for
public hearing on August 5, 1982.
The Mobile Home Park (MHP) zone as adopted is an overlay zone designed to be
applied to existing mobile hone parks in conjunction with an underlying
primary zoning designation. The MHP zone requires' that a minintun of six (6)
criteria be taken into consideration to determine whether the MOP Zone is
appropriate for the property. Those criteria are as follows:
a) Existing zoning and General Plan designations.
b) The age and condition of the mobile hams park.
c) The relationship of the mobile hams park to surrounding land
uses.
d) Vehicle access to the area under consideration.
e) Site area.
f) Site configuration.
These items are discussed in the site discussion section of this report.
When a property is zoned MHP none of the uses allowed by the underlying zoning
are permitted. However, the MHP zone does contain a section which allows for
the removal of the overlay zone provided that several findings are made by the
City. Those findings are as follows:
a) That the proposed zoning is consistent with the General Plan of
the City of,Newport Beach and all elements thereof, and in the
event that the proposed zoning is P-C, that the Planned
Community Development Plan has been submitted and is consistent
with the General Plan and all elements thereof;
b) That the property which is the subject of the zoning amendment
would be more appropriately developed in accordance with uses
permitted by the underlying zoning, or proposed zoning, and if
the underlying zoning or proposed zoning is P-C, that a Planned
Cc m uiity Development Plan has been submitted and the property
would be more appropriately developed with the uses specified in
that plan;
0, c) That a mobile home park phaseout plan has been prepared,
reviewed and considered and found to be acceptable. A phaseout
plan shall not be found to be acceptable unless it includes (1)
a time schedule and method by which existing mobile homes,
cabanas, ramadas and other substantial improvements and tenants,
are to be relocated or appropriately oompensated; (2) methods of
lie

mitigating the housing impacts on tenants having low and
moderate inns, elderly tenants and tenants who are
handicapped; (3) the programs or other means that are to be
implemented such that the housing impacts on those described in
(2), above, are mitigated. For purposes of this provision, low
and moderate incares" shall be defined in accordance with the
provisions of the Housing Element of the City of Newport Beach.
Removal of the overlay MHP zone would permit development of the property with
those uses allowed by the primary zoning and the General Plan or Land•Use Plan
of the Local Coastal Program.
Site Discussion
As previously discussed the proposed zone is consistent with the Land Use Plan
of the Local Coastal Program and the Land Use, Housing, and Recreation and
Environmental Open Space Elements of the General Plan. The proposed MHP Zone
is also compatible with the primary underlying Unclassified zoning.
The Marinapark Mobile Have Park is located on the North side of West Balboa
Boulevard between 15th Street and 18th Street. This park is rectangular in
shape with no apparent features detracting from its use as a mobile hire park.
The Park has adequate vehicle access from both West Balboa Boulevard and 18th
Street.
or The property is approximately 5 acres in size, has 60 spaces and is developed
at 12.0 units per acre. Information provided by park management in January of
1982 for the annual State'Department of Finance population estimate indicated
that 23 of the spaces were occupied by permanent residents. The permanent
resident population at that time was 36 persons or approximately 1.6 persons
per household.
The mobile home park was developed by the City of Newport Beach in 1955. The
Park is managed by the City with individual tenants leasing their space from
the City. The current lease was negotiated in March of 1976 and terminates in
September of 1985. Space rents range from $308 to $366 per month. The park
and mobile hares are generally in good condition with no signs of
deterioration or neglect.
The mobile hare park is not out of character with the area. The Park is
surrounded with residential, recreational and visitor - serving facilities.
Since the Park is occupied by both full -time and part-time residents it
functions as a source of resident housing and as a visitor - serving facility.
It is expected that the MHP zone will preserve the mobile hire park use until
such time as the MHP designation is removed. It should be noted that
application of the MHP zone to the property may enhance the sale of individual
mobile hares because of a perceived assurance of a continued mobile hire park
use. The possible increase in the sale price of individual mobile homes may
increase housing costs beyond the affordability ranges of low and moderate

PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
TO: PLANNING
ATTACHMENT N0. 3
August 4, 1982
FROM: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF THE MOBILE HOME PARK OVERLAY ZONE
TO 14ARINAPARK
RECOMMENDATION•
Deny the request for a Mobile Home Park overlay zone for Marina -
park and; pursue returning this valuable and highly desirable
public resource to public use at the expiration of the existing
leases which terminate in 1985.
DISCUSSION:
The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission at their meeting
of August 3, 1982 reviewed the request, as presented by the
Planning Department, for the application of a Mobile Home Park
Overlay Zone to Marinapark. Included in this review was the
concept of alternative land uses as proposed in the Marinapark
Planning Study prepared by the City in 1971. By unanimous vote
with one abstension the Commission approved the listed recommen-
dation.
As City owned public tidelands it was felt by the.Commission
that for over 30 years the Marinapark properly has been used
by a relative few tenants many, perhaps over half, that are not
even permanent residents, it was further recommended that the
City develop the land into a City -owned and operated marine and
beach park. This concept would include consideration for much
needed public amenities such as a small boat launching area,
small boat storage, parking and public recreation programs.
The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission strongly urges that
their recommendation be given consideration.

RECREATION DIVISION
• PROGRESS REPORT AUGUST 1982
YOUTH AND ADULT SPORTS
August is the month when summer leagues are wrapped up. All leagues
were completed and in most cases the winning team had a choice of trophies,
pen set or athletic bag for awards. The adult basketball program went
very smoothly and communication was very good with the school district
so that gym cancellations were avoided. The only problem the adult soft-
ball program experienced was grass that was too tall, the district's
mowers broke down for a month.
The Annual Beach Volleyball Tournament held at Corona del May State
Beach was very successful. 155 teams registered for the "A" and "Novice"
tournaments. The First Annual 18 and Under Tournament For Boys and Girls
had 46 teams compete which was a very good turn out. The King of New-
port Beach Softball Tournament was the summer finale for 20 of our summer
softball teams. They played a double elimination tournament to determine
a minor division and major division champion.
Youth Flag Football will start September 13 at six locations throughout
• the City. Sign ups are now being accepted in the office.
SPECIAL ACTIVITY CLASSES
Our summer classes enjoyed a very successful summer. Revenue was up
by 35 %. Even the new Day Camp program ended up making a small profit.
Our contract teachers, supervisors and Day Camp leaders all deserve a
fine round of applause for a job well done.
Tennis classes continued to reverse their trend of decreasing revenues
with a 24% increase in revenue over last summer. Linda Newby and her
tennis teacher did ,a fine job this summer with the tennis program.
Fall brochures were mailed to all residents the last week of August.
Mail -in registration begins September 3. Don't miss out on a fall class!
SENIOR CITIZENS
OASIS celebrated its Sth birthday on August 28. Supervisor Tom Riley
highlighted a long list of dignitaries at the celebration. He present-
ed a resoultion from the Orange County Board of Supervisors praising
the fine programs and services at OASIS. Those in attendance enjoyed
a hobby show, live entertainment, cake, tournaments and a barbeque lunch.
The new parking lot is open and well used by seniors at the center. A
*new shed for gardeners was also set -up. The next project is construction
of a darkroom. Things are moving along at OASIS Center.

SAILING AND AQUATICS
ADThe swimming programs at Corona del Mar and Harbor High schools were
quite successful this summer. The number of classes offered were re-
duced but revenue increased over last summer. Sailing programs did
well again this summer but didn't quite reach the phenominal levels of
last summer. The Annual Bellyflop Contest drew front page coverage in
the local newspapers. All in all it was quite a summer.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Community Youth Center program was revitalized this summer and
experienced an increase in attendance. Weekly special events, movies,
overnights, cookouts and field trips all helped make the summer special
at C.Y.C.
Coming up in September and October aie a new musical "Camelot ", City
Championship Golf Tournament,, 5 Mile Run in Corona del Mar and an Arts
Commission Fall Concert at Eastbluff Park.
