(PA 2004 -235)
WHEREAS, the Housing Element was adopted in August of 2003 and
conditionally certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) in September of 2003. Since then, staff has discovered several discrepancies
requiring revision for consistency and clarification; and
WHEREAS, the City Council initiated amendments to the Housing Element of the

intent; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Newport Beach Planning
Commission on March 3, 2005 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 3300 Newport
Boulevard, Newport Beach, California. A notice of time, place, and purpose of the meeting
was given in accordance with the Municipal Code and State Law. Evidence, both written
and oral, was presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at this meeting;
and
WHEREAS, additional provisions are also proposed to be included that could
further promote affordable housing construction in the City; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is not defined as a project under the California

making activities not associated with a project or a physical change in the environment
(Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
Section 1. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council of the
