Chair Girling opened public comments.
Jim Mosher referenced the new agenda meeting system and commented on the possibility of using that
system to automatically save meeting audios and presentations so that people who did not have a chance to
attend meetings would know what occurred. He encouraged Members to encourage staff to investigate the
system to see if such a mode exists.
Jim Mahoney, onshore mooring permit holder, reported receiving an email from Harbor Resources Manager
Chris Miller stating that someone had complained about a derelict vessel being on his mooring. He reported
taking the boat to the Harbor Patrol and showing a deputy that it was running, and the deputy said it was
okay. He stated that it is a 50-year-old boat and reported meeting with Mr. Miller who also said it was okay.
He indicated that he would keep the boat in running condition, well-maintained and covered, and hoped that
would be satisfactory.
Chair Girling closed public comments.

6) CURRENT BUSINESS
1. Harbor Commission 2016 Objectives: Quarterly Review
Every quarter, the Harbor Commission will review their 2016 Objectives.
Recommendation:
1) Receive and file.
Chair Girling addressed the process including vetting, review and approval by City Council. He added that
there was an agreement made to provide quarterly updates within the Commission which was why we were
discussing this tonight.
Commissioner Stapleton reported that the Chamber of Commerce, Marine Committee has not been meeting
because of the Christmas Boat Parade, and he referenced a list developed by Vice Chair Blank listing critical
harbor projects and what is currently being underserved. He reported that property values in the City are still
rising, but expressed concerns with losing boat-servicing businesses on the water. He listed elements that
are key to a successful harbor, and areas on which the Commission is focusing. He reported that the Marine
Committee will meet in April which is when these issues will be discussed.
Vice Chair Blank addressed the second objective noting that he consulted an attorney who was involved with
the process in the past, and expressed the need to meet with staff to review the file. He added that it will be
a long and slow process but that the Committee will continue to work toward the objective.
Regarding creating a dialogue with representatives of the U.S. Charter Fleet, Vice Chair Blank stated he is
not prepared to speak on this matter, at this point, but there will be more research on the topic.
In terms of supporting Harbor Resources Division staff in the RGP-54 development, Commissioner Kenney
asked Harbor Resources Manager Miller for an update. Harbor Resources Manager Miller reported that the
City has received approximately 40 requests for the RGP-54 permit. He reported it has exceeded
expectations and that he has met with the Corps of Engineers and the Coastal Commission, advising that
their staff be on the lookout for the applications. Commissioner Kenney added that the goal of the community
is to focus on communication outreach, letting the public know of the simplified process. Harbor Resources
Manager Miller stated he has done some outreach, and will continue to do so, and he listed some of his
efforts.
Commissioner West reported that the original intent was to ensure public awareness, and he congratulated
staff for their efforts.
Relative to the objective concerning derelict vessels, Commissioner Stapleton reported the identification of a
dozen vessels when the process started, and he stated that the number has increased to 20 vessels that
have been removed from the harbor.
In terms of the goal of completing the evaluation of public moorings and anchorage alternatives,
Commissioner Avery reported meeting with a local homeowner who had concerns, and discussed setting up
another trial anchorage area. He noted that the matter is on the agenda for further discussion.
Regarding completing the Cruising Guide to Newport Harbor, Commissioner West reported the Committee
has completed a mark-up to update the last edition, and commented on the need to meet with staff to make
the next edition digital and use less hard copies.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller reported that the City’s IT Department is exploring the idea of
incorporating a live (guided) app for the harbor similar to what they have for the City’s public art program.
Regarding investigation of a launch ramp facility, Commissioner McIntosh noted nothing to report.
3
Relative to the Central Avenue pier, Vice Chair Blank reported that the City has submitted plans to the
Coastal Commission for the project. Additionally, Newport Yacht Club has submitted their application to the
Coastal Commission for their clubhouse remodel, and they have proposed to contribute $350,000 towards
the Central Avenue pier construction in an effort to improve coastal access. This matter will be heard by the
Coastal Commission this month, and Mr. Miller will attend that meeting in Santa Monica.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller clarified that he has not yet submitted the City’s application to the Coastal
Commission for the Central Avenue pier, but will do so soon, perhaps by the April HC meeting.
Discussion followed regarding the total amount of the pier construction and whether $350,000.00 will be
sufficient.
Regarding the Harbor Financial Master Plan and the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Paddleboard Safety, Chair
Girling noted that it was agreed that the two bodies would be fluid. Harbor Resources Manager Miller stated
that it would be appropriate, at a future meeting, to add those two to the list of Objectives. Chair Girling
stated he will work with staff to address the matter at the next Harbor Commission meeting.
Vice Chair Blank reported that at the Mayor’s direction, the Harbor Commission has been tasked with
creating a Harbor Capital Financial Master Plan and stated that the Subcommittee has met with staff to
review planned harbor-related capital projects. He reported making suggestions on how to categorize capital
projects and stated they have agreed to convene meetings with a larger audience to obtain public input. A
recommended list will be presented to the Harbor Commission mid-summer.
Commissioner Kenney addressed the Paddleboard Safety Subcommittee, noting they have identified 20
rentals/operators with physical locations within the City. The Subcommittee is working with staff to identify
those who have Marine Activities permits, and he has created a list of questions to ask operators to
determine if and how they are educating customers with respect to paddleboard safety and the rules of the
harbor. Once that information is obtained, recommendations will be presented to the Harbor Commission at
a future meeting.
Chair Girling opened public comments.
Carter Ford complimented the Commission for their goals and their quarterly review. He commented on
fixed-pile Coast Guard channel markers, and the significant issues that arise when they are hit. He stressed
that these channel markers are a well-known safety hazard and hoped that the Commission would consider
a plan to replace all of them in the future.
Vice Chair Avery reported that the suggestion has been included in the Harbor Financial Master Plan. He
added there is a long history of damaged boats related to navigational pilings and noted the need to address
the matter.
Chair Girling closed public comments.
2. West Anchorage Review and Recommended Path Forward
The Harbor Commission will evaluate the need for an anchorage in the Turning Basin, and will form
a recommendation to be forwarded to the City Council, if applicable.
Recommendation:
1) Decide a recommended path forward for an anchorage in the Turning Basin.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller provided a report addressing the Council-approved location of the
anchorage last fall. He provided various scenarios of was previously approved in the area including the
mooring of the large, visiting vessel Invictus which will be returning to the harbor in the late summer or early
fall, and he illustrated where it would be located in relation to the proposed anchorage, hydro-flight area and
the boat show.
4
Commissioner Avery added this is a proposed continuation of the trial anchorage from last year and reported
that the anchorage was adjusted to reflect the responses and concerns of residents. He noted issues with
raft-ups and noise. He added that staff will ensure that the new trial will have the least impact on residents
and noted that the subcommittee is open to other ideas and suggestions.
Commissioner McIntosh commented on noise suppression and suggested that rather than waiting for
complaints, the City should be proactive with enforcement.
Chair Girling reported the last trial did not have the anticipated usage and commented positively on having
an anchorage but encouraged careful thought and having a plan in place to address some of the issues of
concern. He stated he would like to see an in-depth review of enforcement and a thoughtful consideration of
supporting the anchorage. He added there are good reasons to have it but stated he wants to make sure that
the City does everything it can to ensure that enforcement is addressed.
Commissioner Stapleton stated he continues to oppose the item, noting that he does not understand the
demand and commented on the importance of having open water. He felt that it is a nuisance and that noise
inside the harbor is hard to control.
Chair Girling opened public comments.
A speaker stated that the noise did not seem to be too much of a problem but expressed concerns regarding
holding tanks. He asked whether there is a time limit for staying in the anchorage, and Harbor Resources
Manager Miller reported the rules are the same as they are for the East Lido anchorage, which is five days
with an additional five-day extension, every 30 days.
Carter Ford commented on his use of the temporary anchorage and acknowledged problems with noise but
noted it is part of living near the harbor. People who generate noise from the anchorage will probably still be
there when Harbor Patrol goes by so that noise from the anchorage area may be less of a worry. He
addressed the last trial and noted it does not cost much and spoke in support of having another trial and
stated there is an opportunity and a need to take some of the load off the East Lido anchorage. Additionally,
he hopes that the trial will be well-publicized.
Bob Yates stated there is a safety problem in the East Lido anchorage area and listed the various users of
the harbor in that area. He urged the Commission to consider more open space and open water in the area
and spoke in support of the trial anchorage as it will relieve pressure off of the East Lido anchorage.
Chair Girling closed public comments.
Raft-ups were addressed, noting there was only one during the temporary anchorage trial period and they
had a permit for same. Regarding holding tanks, he reported that is a problem throughout the harbor and
suggested the possibility of implementing a tablet administered by the Harbor Patrol, such as a system used
in Avalon. With respect to noise, he agreed with Mr. Ford that noise is easier to address when a boat is
stationary and that it is an issue related to living on the bay.
Commissioner West noted there has been no demand analysis but commented on creating something that
will, in itself, create demand. He added that with the development of Lido Marina Village, there will be
increased opportunities for visiting boaters to go ashore and noted that area of the harbor will become
invigorated. He felt that the anchorage is worth further testing, and it will help in making Newport Harbor a
welcoming destination for visiting and local boaters.
Commissioner Avery expressed concerns regarding noise, commented positively on the work of the Harbor
Patrol and addressed challenges with Code Enforcement. He reported that unsafe activities in the harbor
spike on the weekends and in summer and that the rest of the time, it is quiet. He suggested having some
kind of Code Enforcement, other than the Harbor Patrol, in the water to monitor, warn and educate people
who may be in potential violations, during peak times.
5
Council Member Duffield stated he would like to look at Avalon as a model and reported that every boat is
greeted by the Harbor Patrol and has to pay a fee. He agreed with Commissioner Avery that the peak times
are limited and suggested the Harbor Patrol greet boats, hand them a brochure and leave. He added that the
brochure would include information regarding responsibilities of being in the mooring field and boaters could
be given a marker to let others know they have been “officially” greeted.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller addressed next steps once the Harbor Commission approves the trial
anchorage.
Discussion followed regarding possible dates and times for the trial period and the possibility of setting it
from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Chair Girling suggested an amendment to set results in terms of issues that will need to be addressed from
an enforcement standpoint, including a demand analysis. It was noted that there is no data from the last trial
and that the pilot program should be monitored.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller added that prior to presenting the report to Council, staff will work with the
Committee to refine details.
Chair Girling agreed and requested a monthly update on the matter, including usage and complaints
received.
A suggestion was noted that one way to gather data would be to direct the Harbor Patrol to keep track of the
number of boats they visit. The brochure would be distributed to them would include the consequences of
not following the rules. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of putting dye into holding tanks. Chair
Girling commented on the need to identify issues that need to be addressed and where the resources will
come from.
Harbor Resources Manager Miller indicated he would like to go before Council with a firm plan in place.
Discussion followed regarding allowing enough time to resolve issues prior to presenting the matter to
Council, identifying the specific issues to be addressed, and having the Harbor Patrol report back in terms of
the number of complaints they receive.
Motion: Commissioner Avery made a motion to run another trial anchorage in Newport Harbor from
Memorial Day to Labor Day, understanding that the permit process may delay it; and, directing staff to report
back after the trial period with a demand analysis and enforcement issues that will need to be addressed
and, contingent on ensuring that there is a mechanism in place for enforcement. Commissioner Kenney
seconded the motion, which carried with 6 ayes, 1 noes, with Commissioner Stapleton, opposed. Approved.
3. Land Use Review: 2101 West Coast Highway (Ardell Property)
Planning Manager Patrick Alford will review the land use requirements for the 2101 West Coast
Highway property and the greater Mariner’s Mile area.
Recommendation:
1) Receive and file.
Planning Manager Patrick Alford presented the staff report addressing location, General Plan districts for
Mariner’s Mile, the highway corridor and land uses, the village area, waterfront properties, encouraging
visitor-serving uses and a limited residential mixed-use component, water-front design elements, access and
views, key elements to be addressed in the Mariner’s Mile Master Plan, and the RFP.
In response to an inquiry from the Harbor Commission, Planning Manager Alford provided an example of a
man-made resource and addressed massing and design elements in similar projects.
6
Discussion followed regarding erosion in marine uses, elements and major components of the RFP and the
development review process.
Ensuing discussion pertained to the need for Coastal Commission review, the scope of the project, the need
for substantial public outreach and whether the project includes Bay Shore.
Chair Girling opened public comments.
Chair Girling closed public comments.

Harbor to discuss their dredging techniques. Additionally, he reported that the Park Avenue Bridge project
would be starting in one month.
Discussion followed regarding the take-away from the Santa Cruz trip and removing dredged material from

TITLE: Harbor Capital Finance Plan – DRAFT Review
______________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT:
The Harbor Commission will review the working draft of the Harbor Capital Finance
Plan, and provide comments.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Review the Harbor Capital Finance Plan and provide comments to staff.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to the review of this draft plan. Individual items in this
plan will require future funding through the normal budgeting process.
DISCUSSION:
Per the direction of the City Council, the Harbor Commission will assist in developing a
Harbor Capital Finance Plan which identifies future, larger capital projects and the
funding mechanisms to achieve those goals. The Harbor Commission formed an ad
hoc committee to assist with the review process, and the document this evening reflects
their thoughtful input.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find 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) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

TITLE: West Anchorage Rules
______________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT:
The Harbor Commission will discuss rules and enforcement during the proposed,
upcoming trial anchorage in the Turning Basin, pending City Council approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Recommend the rules that would be applicable during the proposed trial
anchorage in the Turning Basin.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item. If the City Council decides to proceed with
the project at a later date, it is anticipated that $3,000.00 or less will be needed to
deploy and retrieve the four buoys needed for the anchorage.
DISCUSSION:
At the March 2016 meeting, the Harbor Commission decided to recommend a second
trial anchorage in the Turning Basin (west of Lido Isle) between Memorial Day and
Labor Day if possible. The Harbor Commission also decided to return at the April
meeting to discuss rules and enforcement with the upcoming trial anchorage.
Previously, the Harbor Patrol distributed a City flyer with the rules as shown on
attachment A.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the Harbor Commission find 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) of the CEQA

TRIAL ANCHORAGE NOTICE – We need your help!
Thank you for using the temporary “West Lido Anchorage.” Recently, the Newport Beach City
Council approved the installation of this anchorage as a trial to learn more about the feasibility
of a permanent anchorage at this location. The trial period is 10 weeks, from August 1 to October
15, 2015. If the trial succeeds, the anchorage may be reinstalled next summer or in the future.
The existing “East Lido Anchorage” between Lido Isle and Bay Island will remain in the harbor
regardless of the outcome of this trial.
The purpose of the West Lido Anchorage trial is to solicit feedback from anchorage users, all
harbor users, local businesses and residents. Key concerns include:
NOISE AFFECTING NEARBY RESIDENTS: This is a big concern from residents who live around
the anchorage. Please remember the West Lido Anchorage rules: No rafting of vessels, no
amplified music, no loud parties, no loud generators, and no generators after 9 p.m.
BOATS ANCHORED/SWINGING OUTSIDE THE ANCHORAGE BOUNDARIES: Please stay
within the anchorage buoys so as to not block channel traffic or reduce the area for large vessels
to maneuver in and out of their berths.
SEWAGE AND OTHER WASTE PRODUCTS: You must use a holding tank! Please keep galley
waste etc., to a minimum. The U.S. Coast Guard or Orange County Harbor Department may board
your boat at any time to inspect your waste system or drop dye tablets.
LIGHT POLLUTION: Please keep your exterior lighting to a minimum, except for your anchor
light. No underwater flood lights, bright deck lights, etc.
We need your feedback! How do you like the anchorage configuration? Could its location, layout
or size be improved? Please send an email to the address below.
