The motion passed 6-0.
2. RP3 SURVEY RESULTS & PERMIT BOUNDARY (ATTACHMENT 2)
Recommended Action: Review results and potential boundaries. Finalize
recommendation for Council consideration.
Principal Planner Jim Campbell provided a staff report and PowerPoint presentation
addressing the results of the RP3 survey and potential boundaries.
Discussion followed regarding keeping clear boundaries, boundary options based on the
majority of support and proximity to the district. It was noted that the closer you get to the
Village, the more support has been expressed. Ensuing discussion pertained to the
physical mechanics of the various options, next steps, the rollout period, the possibility of
starting out small, and using a phased approach.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on the possibility of approving the larger area but
starting small in terms of implementation.
Principal Planner Campbell noted challenges of asking for "too much."
Discussion followed regarding developing a strategy to deal with the Coastal
Commission, the need to get the community involved and the need to ensure that the
data and impact supports the request.
Committee Member Stratton suggested asking for a larger area but ensuring that the
Coastal Commission knows that implementation will be on a smaller scale, initially.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon opened public comments.
Wayne Zippi addressed the "spill-over" problem in terms of beach and fishing charter
parking.
Marianne Zippi opined that the survey numbers are inaccurate as the correct number of
residents, as per the last census, are not taken into account. She added that she was
able to obtain the numbers by calling the Census Bureau and that the City should do the
same.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on the desire to get both the property owners' and
renters' points of view in the area.
Principal Planner Campbell noted that the census was taken at a particular date and that
is also, an estimate. He commented on the process as having been followed in the past
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015
Page 2

and reported that the City is trying to implement a program for people who use the area.
He stated that the balloting system is a reflection of those who participated and is
consistent with how the City has evaluated other programs in the past.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon added that the objective was to get the opinion of as many people
as are connected with area properties; either owning them or living in them, at this time.
A member of the public opined that if the City asks for approval of the entire area by the
Coastal Commission, the City will go back to "square one" and all of the data collected
will be meaningless. She added that people do not park at the west boundary and walk to
the Village, except on the weekends.
Art White stated there will never be enough parking on the Peninsula and that most
people will not park at the west boundary and walk to the Village, but will use public
parking. He added that the proposed solution may work.
W. R. Dildine stated he was one of the original people involved in this matter and
commented on the proposal of parking meters from Edgewater to the sand (8th Street
and Coronado). He noted there is a lot of illegal use in the area and the need for overflow
parking. Additionally, he commented on the census and the various companies that offer
mailing lists using it, adding that the information is readily available.
Wayne Zippi reported that no one wants to pay more taxes than they already do.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon stressed that the fee is the cost of administering the program and
suggested that, for the first year, the fee might be waived.
In response to Committee Member Stratton, Principal Planner Campbell addressed fees
in Newport Island and noted this is not a tax, but a fee for services. There is no intention
to change the current system and the City would charge the same fees as in other areas
of the City.
Jim Fournier expressed concerns regarding the four permits per household, adding that it
is excessive.
Committee Member Stratton commented on households with children and noted they may
need more than four permits.
Tom O'Loughlin asked regarding renters.
Committee Member Stratton stated that the permit is not a parking pass, does not
guarantee that parking will be available and will not make a difference in terms of the
number of people in the area, as parking will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
W. R. Dildine confirmed that each permit will be tied to a license number.
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015

Marianne Zippi asked whether the City has conducted a study regarding the impact on
property values.
Principal Planner Campbell stated that staff has not conducted such an analysis.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon suggested looking at Newport Island, historically, to track property
values.
Committee Member Stratton added that the whole idea is to redirect people to appropriate
parking areas. Theoretically, it will provide more parking by sending employees/visitors to
more appropriate parking places.
Brief discussion followed regarding the matter making more money for the City.
Committee Member Stratton stated that people all along the coast pay for parking and
that the City of Newport Beach should not be an exception.
A member of the public stated that many residents already pay the median pole permit
fee which has increased over the years.
Art White reported he pays for a yearly master pass and suggested the City guarantee a
fee of $15 which would be adjusted, for inflation in the next ten or fifteen years.
Principal Planner Campbell provided recommended actions by the BVAC.
Committee Member Pollack noted support for this item and thanked staff for its efforts
and meeting the threshold that Council wanted, adding that Council is the ultimate
decision-maker. He added that "going small" may result in a two-year delay and
commented on "going big" but stressed that Council will decide what to present to the
Coastal Commission.
Committee Member Stratton commented on Option 2 and on issues on Bay Avenue. He
suggesting extending the program to include Bay and Balboa Avenues but not include
Island "proper" and implementing further east (of Medina) on Phase 1 and Island on
Phase 2.
Committee Member Oakes agreed with Committee Member Stratton's suggestions
adding that the "bigger" area should be recommended for approval but implementing
smaller areas by phases.
Community Development Director Kimberly Brandt stated she does not understand why
the City would include the "dog leg" at Island.
Discussion followed regarding possible exclusions/inclusions of specific areas and blocks.
Principal Planner Campbell clarified the areas to include/exclude.
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015
Page 4
Wayne Zippi commented on Island Avenue and Bay Island and noted that many of the
residents on Island Avenue want the permit system.
Marianne Zippi asked why the staff shows the Library and Fire Station as supporting the
program.
Principal Planner Campbell reported that the City did not vote on this matter and stated
that he should have excluded the Fire Station and Library from the map.
City Traffic Engineer Tony Brine reported that spaces shown in green are timed. He
added that realistically, there is no parking enforcement after 6:00 p.m.
In response to Principal Planner Campbell's question, Committee Members directed him
not to include Bay Island.
Principal Planner Campbell reported that permit hours are 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. and
suggested that the Coastal Commission will not approve them. He suggested setting the
hours from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. X
Committee Member Stratton stated that research by Nelson Nygaard shows that people
start going home from the beach at 4:00 p.m. and suggested presenting that information
to the Coastal Commission.
Principal Planner Campbell felt that the negotiation strategy may not be the best one.
City Traffic Engineer Brine stated that in his experience, people are leaving the peninsula
later and later in the day.
Committee Member Stratton added that the challenge with setting a later start time is that
people return home from work and do not have a place to park. He suggested starting as
early in the day as possible.
Marianne Zippi stated it is not fair to residents to have this vote, as they do not know what
the hours will be. She opined that people will not support it if they find they will not have a
place to park.
Community Development Director Brandt reported that the matter has been well-vetted
and that the Committee will be voting on a specific time, 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Committee Member Pollack commented on potential Coastal Commission changes.
Community Development Director Brandt added that changing the times may trigger the
need to resurvey residents.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon suggested considering the Palm Street lot at a future meeting.
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015
Page 5
Principal Planner Campbell addressed next steps.
A Committee Member suggested setting a fee at $15 or $16 and waiving the fee for the
first year.
Associate Planner Fern Nueno reported that the Committee and Council had already
considered and approved the hours and the amount of the fee and that Council's direction
was to determine support or opposition by residents.
Discussion followed regarding the fee being the same as those paid by other areas in the
City for the same service and including in the report to Council; that the Committee
prefers to use the same fee for three years.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon suggested the street names on the map need to be more legible in
the future.
Committee Member Stratton asked that staff provide a revised percentage of approval on
a modified map.
Action: Committee Member Stratton moved to recommend to City Council approval
of the residential parking permit program (RP3) with a modified Option 1, as
discussed, with Phase 1 Adams Street to and including Medina Way and Phase 2
Medina Way to Island Avenue. Committee Member Oakes seconded the motion.
The motion passed 6-0.
Community Development Director Brandt noted that the matter will most likely be
presented to Council on July 28th
Principal Planner Campbell added that he will create an updated map with Phase 1 and
Phase 2, which will be presented to BVAC and Council.
3. SUMMER OUTDOOR DINING REGULATIONS (ATTACHMENT 3)
Recommended Action: Discuss and provide direction to staff on a potential
Zoning Code Amendment to allow staff level approval for outdoor dining on
a limited basis during summer months.
Associate Planner Fern Nueno presented on outdoor dining regulations for restaurants in
the Village, the community benefits of outdoor dining, and the options to make the
process easier and quicker while guarding against any potential negative impacts.
Committee Member Pollack commented on the benefit of wider sidewalks and spoke in
favor of the item.
Committee Member Stratton addressed the pros and cons of the matter and noted the
need for careful implementation so there is adequate space for people to move around.
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015

Associate Planner Nueno addressed the different processes for public and private
properties, sidewalks, and encroachments.
Committee Member Stratton referenced Dory Deli as a good example of outdoor dining
adding that the fagade improvement program may help.
Committee Member Oakes expressed support for the item.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on her desire to help businesses and start-ups be
successful and spoke in support of the matter.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon opened public comments.
Janis Dinwiddie expressed support.
W.R. Dildine voiced support for the item as long as they stay out of the public's way.
Kelly Carlson stated support, as long as restaurants stay off sidewalks noting that patrons
often move tables into the sidewalk.
W. R. Dildine noted that back in the 1960s Code Enforcement used to work on weekends.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon commented on working with the Merchants Association and
communicating the rules to operators.
Committee Member Pollack commented on implementing a pilot program in Balboa
Village.
Community Development Director Brandt added that this can be done now, as a pilot
program, and see how it works.
Discussion followed regarding the A-frame sign ordinance.
Action: Committee Member Pollack moved to direct staff to proceed preparing a
pilot program for outdoor dining in Balboa Village, as discussed. Committee
Member Stratton seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0.
4. FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE
Recommended Action: No action required.
Associate Planner Nueno presented a staff report with an update on the Fagade
Improvement Program, including the process for submitting a letter of intent and an
application, the number of submittals received to date, and scheduled meetings with
potential applicants.
In reply to Committee Member Stratton's question, Associate Planner Nueno reported
BVAC Minutes 06/10/2015
Page 7
that outdoor dining and the Fagade Improvement Program are different, but could be tied
together as part of a larger restaurant project. She clarified that the funds cannot be used
to purchase outdoor tables or similar expenses.
Committee Member Stratton suggested making those who have applied aware of the
outside dining issue.
Committee Member Pollack noted that ExplorOcean purposely did not apply in order to
facilitate the process for other applicants.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon opened public comments.
Kelly Carlson commented on improvements she has made and noted that the BVAC and
the Merchants Association did a lot to promote the program. She commented on Mr.
White's help and added that some people are scared to ask for money.
Mayor Pro Tem Dixon noted that there is a fixed amount of money available.
Community Development Director Brandt added that Council has the ability to allocate
additional funds at a later time.

MEMORANDUM
To: Brenda Wisneski, City of Newport Beach
From: Dan Boyle, Dan Boyle & Associates, Inc.
Date: June 30, 2015
Subject: Technical Memorandum No. 1
Please see attached the first technical memorandum for the Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley
Feasibility Study. I will be available to present and discuss findings to date to the Balboa Village
Advisory Committee on July 8, 2015.
Balboa Peninsula Shuttle/Trolley Feasibility Study
Technical Memorandum No. 1
Purpose, Goals, Markets, and Stakeholders
June 29, 2015
This study will assess the feasibility of a shuttle/trolley route on the Balboa peninsula to serve
visitors and residents during the peak summer season. The beach and Balboa Village are
popular summertime destinations. As a result, Balboa Boulevard becomes congested,
especially on busy summer weekends.
The City of Laguna Beach is the model for special summer service. Its Summer Festival service
links a parking lot along Laguna Canyon Road with Arts Festival sites, the beach, and
downtown. Two other Summer Festival routes serve North Coast Highway and South Coast
Highway. Summer Festival trolleys carry over 10,000 riders on a typical summer Saturday (its
busiest day), or twice the ridership as compared to 2002 which was the first year that the
service operated free of charge in its current three-route configuration. This is a reminder that it
takes time for any service to mature and reach its full ridership potential.
The City of Dana Point is beginning a new weekend shuttle service this summer, with one route
connecting the high school parking lot with Dana Point Harbor and a second route operating
along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Ridership figures are not yet available for this service.
This Technical Memorandum describes the purpose and goals of a summer shuttle route on the
Balboa Peninsula, discusses potential markets for this service, identifies key stakeholders, and
summarizes results of interviews with stakeholders. The primary sources are discussions with
the City of Newport Beach and the Balboa Village Advisory Committee (BVAC) in May 2015 and
the stakeholder interviews in June 2015.
1. Purpose and Goals
The Balboa Village Master Plan included the shuttle concept. The purpose of a shuttle on the
Balboa peninsula is to improve traffic circulation on the peninsula by establishing an off-site
parking location and designing a shuttle to connect this location with the peninsula. Goals for
the shuttle include:
• Reducing congestion and improving circulation along Balboa Boulevard and elsewhere
on the peninsula;
• Encouraging visitors to Balboa Village and the beaches;
• Designing a service that is simple to understand, easy to use, and fun;
• Focusing on the most promising markets first.
The general consensus of discussions to date is that these goals can best be achieved by
starting small, focusing on the peninsula in the summer, and identifying an off-site parking
location.
12
2. Potential Markets for a Shuttle
Weekend day visitors during the summer constitute the primary market for a shuttle. There are
two primary entrances to the peninsula: Newport Expressway/Newport Boulevard and West
Coast Highway/Balboa Boulevard. Parking access must be convenient to these approaches.
Of course, there are additional markets that can be attracted to and served by the shuttle. Hotel
guests staying in Newport Beach and residents have been mentioned as potential markets by
stakeholders. Over the years, the Summer Festival service in Laguna Beach has experienced
ridership growth on its South Route (which serves residential areas and hotels along South
Coast Highway) to the point where its ridership is greater than on the Canyon Route connecting
the major parking location to Festival sites and downtown. The most promising immediate
market for the Balboa peninsula, however, is day visitors on summer weekends. This market
offers the best chance for success. Once a successful shuttle has been established, the City
can consider expanding it to other locations that serve promising markets.
There is also interest in expanding the time frame of the shuttle beyond summer weekends.
Weekends throughout the year, summer weekdays, and special events such as the Boat
Parade during Christmas week were all mentioned. Special events are a logical first step and
could even be incorporated into the initial plan for shuttle operation.
3. Key Stakeholders
The kickoff meeting and the first presentation and discussion with the BVAC generated the
following list of stakeholders to be interviewed:
• Ralph Rodheim, Balboa Village Merchants Association
• Gary Sherwin, Newport Beach & Co.
• Alison Ryffle, Balboa Peninsula Point Association
• Grace Dove, Central Newport Beach Association
• Marcel Ford and Kelly Carlson, Balboa Village Merchants Association
In-person and telephone interviews were conducted with stakeholders between June 3 and
June 12, 2015. The interview process was flexible to allow each stakeholder to explain the
most relevant factors for consideration in this study from his/her perspective. Each interview
included the following topics:
• Traffic and parking
• Routing for the trolley
• Lessons learned from previous efforts
• Markets that can/should be served by the trolley
• Parting thoughts
The vision for the shuttle varied among stakeholders. Most agreed with the concept of "starting
small" with a focus on the peninsula. Some see multiple routes (two or more) serving various
locations and destinations as necessary from the beginning. A few put forth a broad view of
how the shuttle could evolve into a city-wide network serving hotels, shopping, restaurants and
Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 2

bars along with Balboa Village and the beach and thus appealing to a wider market. Some
expressed skepticism about the viability of a shuttle, citing past failed attempts and a distinct
lack of interest among residents.
Most (but not all) stakeholders view conveniently located off-site parking as essential for the
shuttle's success. Several sites were proposed, including Hoag Hospital, Hoag Medical Group
on Superior Avenue north of Dana Road, a lot at 17th Street & Pomona Avenue in Costa Mesa,
the Ardell property along West Coast Highway, an under-utilized lot at Avon Street & Riverside
Avenue in Mariners Mile, The Dunes, and Corona del Mar.
Stakeholders noted that the "visitor" market is not homogeneous. One way to define differences
is day trippers vs. those staying longer (often in hotels but also in rental properties). Some
merchants see a more lucrative market in those staying longer; one noted that new store
owners are cautioned that they need to appeal to locals as well as day visitors to stay in
business. One stakeholder noted that 80 percent of visitors in rentals drive to the peninsula but
do not necessarily want to use their car to get around.
The shuttle does not need to go beyond Balboa Village on the peninsula. There is a turnaround
loop at the Balboa Pier used by OCTA buses that would serve as a good way to turn the trolley
around. Balboa Pier is a current destination for beachgoers because of parking and restroom
facilities. Stakeholders report the parking generally fills up by 9 a.m. on summer weekends.
Restrooms are also available at 15th Street. Stakeholders indicated that the shuttle does not
need to serve West Newport (along Balboa Boulevard between Newport Boulevard and West
Coast Highway).
Beachgoers carry a lot of "stuff" with them. One area of skepticism was whether beachgoers
would be willing to use an alternative like the shuttle that requires carrying items from car to
shuttle to beach. Some stakeholders suggested an airport-type shuttle that would have room to
store these items enroute.
Stakeholders were adamant that the vehicles used for the shuttle need to be attractive! Some
suggested an open-air trolley as the ideal vehicle. The most-cited reason for failure of past
efforts was the vehicle. School buses will not attract ridership. If we position the shuttle as
`cool,' locals will ride it.
Other reasons for failure of previous efforts included under-funding, insufficient marketing, and a
lack of understanding that a service like this needs time to build ridership and find its market (or
have its market find it). One stakeholder suggested that even a summer-long demonstration
project would not be long enough. In this view, two years would be the minimum time frame to
test the market for a shuttle. This suggestion has a parallel in how transit agencies evaluate the
success of a new route or service, which is expected to meet established performance criteria
within 18 months. One stakeholder noted that Laguna Beach, a model for this type of effort, did
not achieve its current usage overnight. Changing people's habits is a slow process.
Beyond the off-site parking to Balboa Pier route, other suggested routings would serve
McFadden Square/Newport Pier, Lido Marina Village, Mariners Mile, Fashion Island, and
various hotels.
Dan Boyle &Associates, Inc. Page 3
-14
Stakeholders generally agreed that the trolley needs to be free to attract ridership. The one
view contrary to this was long-term, thinking about a day pass for visitors and an evening pass
for accessing restaurants and bars on an extended shuttle network.
4. Next Steps and Tentative Schedule
After discussion with the BVAC, the next tasks are to identify route options and scheduling
possibilities. Where should the shuttle go, and how often should it operate? An off-site parking
location also needs to be selected. The team has made initial contact with Hoag Hospital to
discuss what might be possible there.
Ridership and costs will be estimated for selected alternatives. Cost estimates will ground the
discussion in reality and help us to focus on the core market and assess whether a shuttle
designed around this market is feasible.
DBA anticipates completion of these steps in July 2015, with a draft report for discussion by the
City and the BVAC at the August BVAC meeting.
