TITLE: Overnight Parking Restriction on Back Bay Drive
ABSTRACT:
Staff reviewed a recent request to prohibit overnight parking on Back Bay Drive to
address potential safety and trash issues. A Resolution has been prepared by staff
which proposes a prohibition of overnight parking to address these issues.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution prohibiting the parking of vehicles on Back Bay Drive between
Jamboree Road and Shellmaker Road daily from 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
DISCUSSION:
The General Manager of the Newport Dunes sent the attached letter to the City outlining
issues and concerns regarding the parking of RVs, boats, trailers and other vehicles on
Back Bay Drive. The particular concerns are with the use of the Dunes' on -site facilities
by individuals parking along Back Bay Drive. Staff believes the prohibition of overnight
parking should eliminate the potential for problems in this area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential to have a significant effect on the environment.

Dear Ms. Smith:
C(0 14 �
I'm writing this letter regarding a discussion you and I have had recently regarding parking on
Back Bay Drive. Back Bay Drive has become a favorite "free" parking location for transients
and undesirables in this part of Newport Beach. I would like to see overnight parking prohibited
along the street for several reasons. People parking on Back Bay Drive right outside of Newport
Dunes Waterfront Resort are usually transients with some of their vehicles looking unsightly and
the occupant's undesirables for the city. We have seen many RV's, boats, trailers and other
types of vehicles parked on the street. Some even sleep inside their vehicles.
The occupants come on to our facility to use our showers and other facilities that are available
for our guests. They also leave their trash on our property and on the street with empty alcohol
containers, food wrappers from fast food establishments, and generally debris.
I feel that these are not the type of people we want to attract to the city and they could lead to
other problems within the city.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss the situation further. I look forward to your response
