available and maintained for parking purposes for the use it is intended to serve. The
Director may authorize the temporary use of parking or loading spaces for other than
parking or loading in conjunction with a seasonal or intermittent use.

C. Maintenance. Parking spaces, driveways, maneuvering aisles, turnaround areas, and
landscaping areas shall be kept free of dust, graffiti, and litter. Striping, paving, walls, light
standards, and all other facilities shall be permanently maintained in good condition.

D. Vehicles for Sale. Vehicles, trailers, or other personal property shall not be parked upon a
private street, parking lot, or private property for the primary purpose of displaying the
vehicle, trailer, or other personal property for sale, hire, or rental, unless the property is
appropriately zoned, and the vendor is licensed to transact a vehicle sales business at that
location.

E. Calculation of Spaces Required.

1. Fractional Spaces. Fractional parking space requirements shall be rounded up to the
next whole space.

2. Bench Seating. Where bench seating or pews are provided, eighteen (18) linear inches
of seating shall be considered to constitute a separate or individual seat.

3. Gross Floor Area. References to spaces per square foot are to be calculated on the
basis of gross floor area unless otherwise specified.

4. Net Public Area. “Net public area” shall be defined as the total area accessible to the
public within an eating and/or drinking establishment, excluding kitchens, restrooms,
offices pertaining to the use, and storage areas.

5. Spaces per Occupant. References to spaces per occupant are to be calculated on the
basis of maximum occupancy approved by the City of Newport Beach Fire
Department.

6. Spaces Required for Multiple Uses. If more than one use is located on a site, the number of required off-street parking spaces shall be equal to the sum of the requirements prescribed for each use. F. Nonconforming Parking and Loading. Land uses and structures that are nonconforming due solely to the lack of off-street parking or loading facilities required by this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21.38.060 (Nonconforming Parking). (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

Off-street parking spaces shall be provided in compliance with Table 21.40-1. Where the off- street parking spaces required are established by a coastal development permit, the review authority shall require sufficient data, including a parking demand study, from the applicant in order to make this determination. These standards shall be considered the minimum required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare, and more extensive parking provisions may be required by the review authority in particular circumstances. Unless otherwise noted parking requirements are calculated based on gross floor area.

existing on-street parking spaces or prevent the creation of new on-street
parking spaces by the closure of existing curb cuts.

C. Driveways. Project and subdivision designs shall minimize the number of curb cuts for
driveways. Existing curb cuts shall be closed to create public on-street parking wherever
feasible.

B. Standards for Off-Site Parking Facilities. An off-site parking facility shall comply with the
following standards:

1. The parking facility shall be located within a five hundred (500) foot distance unless
alternative transportation provided to the use it is intended to serve;

1. Notification of City. The owner or operator of a business that uses an approved off-
site parking facility to satisfy the parking requirements of this chapter shall
immediately notify the Director of any change of ownership or use of the property
where the spaces are located, or changes in the use that the spaces are intended to
serve, or of any termination or default of the agreement between the parties.

2. Effect of Termination of Agreement. Upon notification that the agreement for the
required off-site parking has terminated, the Director shall establish a reasonable time
in which one of the following shall occur:

a. Substitute parking is provided that is acceptable to the Director; or

City of Newport Beach, CA § 21.40.110 LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION § 21.40.110

The number of parking spaces required by this chapter may be reduced only in compliance with the following standards and procedures:

A. ADA Compliance. The Community Development Director may administratively reduce
parking requirements due to a loss of parking spaces because of ADA requirements
associated with tenant improvements.

B. Reduction of Required Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking requirements may be reduced
as follows:

1. Reduced Parking Demand. Required off-street parking may be reduced in compliance
with the following conditions:

a. The applicant has provided sufficient data, including a parking study if required
by the Director, to indicate that parking demand will be less than the required
number of spaces or that other parking is available (e.g., City parking lot located
nearby, on-street parking available, greater than normal walk-in trade, mixed-
use development); and

b. A parking management plan shall be prepared in compliance with subsection
(C) of this section (Parking Management Plan).

2. Joint Use of Parking Facilities. Required nonresidential off-street parking may be
reduced where two or more nonresidential uses on the same site or immediately
adjacent sites have distinct and differing peak parking demands (e.g., a theater and a
bank). The review authority may grant a joint use of parking spaces between the uses
that results in a reduction in the total number of required parking spaces.

3. On-Site Bicycle Facilities. Required nonresidential off-street parking may be reduced
where there is a demonstrated use of bicycles as a mode of transportation. The review
authority may reduce the number of required parking spaces by one space for every
three bicycle parking spaces provided on the same site they serve, up to five percent
of the total requirement in compliance with the following conditions:

a. The applicant has provided sufficient evidence to substantiate that there exists a
demand for bicycle parking; and

b. The bicycle parking spaces are located completely within the private property
they serve.

c. An additional five percent reduction may be allowed when end-of-trip facilities
for employees are provided on the same site they serve, including but not limited
to showers and locker facilities.

4. Space for Shared Mobility. Required nonresidential off-street parking may be reduced by up to ten (10) percent in compliance with the following conditions: a. Exclusive of curb space needed for emergency access purposes (e.g., a fire lane), the development includes at least twenty (20) linear and contiguous feet of on- site dedicated curb space located entirely on private property; or b. There is one off-street parking space designated and signed for the use of

shared-mobility vehicles and/or pick-up/drop-off located on private property
and on the same site it is intended to serve.

C. Parking Management Plan. When a parking management plan to mitigate impacts
associated with a reduction in the number of required parking spaces is required by this
chapter, the parking management plan may include, but is not limited to, the following
when required by the review authority:

1. Restricting land uses to those that have hours or days of operation so that the same
parking spaces can be used by two or more uses without conflict;

2. Restricting land uses with high parking demand characteristics;

3. Securing off-site parking;

4. Providing parking attendants and valet parking;

5. Utilization of transportation demand management strategies that promote the use of
alternative transportation modes (e.g., ridesharing, carpools, vanpools, public transit,
shuttles, bicycles and walking) pursuant to Section 21.44.030 (Transportation
Demand Management); and

6. Other appropriate mitigation measures.

D. Required Data. In reaching a decision to allow a reduction of required parking spaces, the
review authority shall consider data submitted by the applicant or collected/prepared at the
applicant’s expense.

E. Impact to Coastal Access Prohibited. No application for a reduction in the number of off-
street parking requirements shall be approved that impacts public parking available for
coastal access.
(Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016; Ord. 2025-13 § 1 (Exh. A § 5), 2025)

Properties within a Parking Management (PM) Overlay District may be exempted from all or part of the off-street parking requirements of this chapter in compliance with the provisions of the adopted parking management district plan per Section 21.28.030 (Parking Management (PM) Overlay District). (Ord. 2016-19 § 9 (Exh. A)(part), 2016)

The number of parking spaces required by Section 21.40.040 (Off-Street Parking Spaces Required) may be reduced pursuant to an adopted Parking District Management Plan if the review authority authorizes the use of an in-lieu fee to be paid by the applicant towards the development of public parking facilities and/or implementation of a nonautomobile circulation system. The in-lieu fee shall be paid to the Citywide Parking Improvement Trust Fund. The amount of the fee and time of payment shall be established by Council resolution and shall be commensurate with actual market value cost for the provision of off-street parking space.
