RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-2, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach, California, Creating the Ad Hoc Transit, Transportation, Parking and Mobility Committee.
DISCUSSION:
At the December 12, 2023 City Council meeting, pursuant to City Council Policy A-1, then Mayor Noah Blom asked the City Council to consider forming an ad hoc committee to work with staff and provide guidance regarding citywide transit, transportation, parking and mobility enhancements. The Council voted 7-0, via a straw poll, in favor of staff returning with an item for its consideration.
If adopted, Resolution No. 2024-2 would establish the Ad Hoc Transit, Transportation, Parking and Mobility Committee and confirm Mayor O’Neill’s appointments of Mayor Pro Tem Joe Stapleton, Councilmember Noah Blom, and Councilmember Lauren Kleiman to serve on the committee. The committee would work with staff and make recommendations to the entire City Council regarding transit, transportation, parking and mobility enhancements in an effort to foster and improve connections and movement of residents and visitors between major activity areas, communities and villages. The committee would also review, seek and identify potential funding sources, such as public and private grants and partnerships, to help support the enhancements.
The ad hoc committee would terminate upon bringing its recommendations back to the full City Council or on December 31, 2026, whichever is sooner.
