TITLE: Study Session — Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element
Update (PA2017-141)
ABSTRACT:
The Housing Element is a mandatory element of the City of Newport Beach (City) General
Plan that requires periodic review and updating. It is a comprehensive statement of
housing goals and policies that are closely correlated with other elements of the General
Plan. The 2021-2029 Housing Element Update is statutorily required to be adopted by
October 15, 2021. State law provides for a 120 -day grace period, requiring the Housing
Element to be adopted no later than February 15, 2022 without facing penalties. Once
adopted, it will address the planning period October 2021 to October 2029. The 2021-
2029 Draft Housing Element describes how the City will provide for policies and programs
to accommodate the City's 4,845 -unit allocation of the 6t" Cycle of the Regional Housing
Needs Assessment (RHNA). RHNA is a State of California (State) mandate which
identifies the forecasted growth need for housing units in the City for the 2021-2029
planning period.
This item is a study session presentation and discussion of an updated draft of the 2021-
2029 Housing Element, which was presented to the City Council on April 27, 2021, and
subsequently discussed at study sessions on June 8 and June 22, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION:
After receiving several comments from members of the community and the City Council,
staff will present an updated version of the City's Draft 6t" Cycle Housing Element for
additional comments before the document is sent to the State Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) for review.
DISCUSSION:
Recent Background and Introduction
For the past 18 months, City staff has worked alongside the Housing Element Update
Advisory Committee (HEUAC), the consultant team, the community, Planning
Commission and City Council to prepare a draft General Plan Housing Element Update.
SS6-1
Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element Update (PA2017-141)
July 13, 2021
Page 2
Staff is committed to working with HCD to submit a final, compliant, adopted Housing
Element by the end of the 120 -day grace period (or February 15, 2022).
The following is a list of recent key dates:
• March 10, 2021, staff released an initial draft of the General Plan Housing Element
Update for the community's review. The draft was posted online and comments on
that draft were accepted until April 30, 2021. A summary of those comments is
provided in Appendix C of the Draft Housing Element (Attachment A).
• March 22, 2021, a virtual community workshop was held to provide an overview of
the draft.
• April 8, 2021, staff presented the draft to the Planning Commission for comment.
• April 27, 2021, staff presented an updated initial draft with a refined housing plan
scenario to the City Council.
• June 8, 2021, staff returned to the City Council at a study session with updated
scenarios to accommodate RHNA growth needs.
• June 21, 2021, a virtual community workshop was held to discuss an updated
housing scenario to accommodate RHNA growth need and discussion policy
solutions including housing overlays, inclusionary housing ordinances, and
accessory dwelling units.
• June 22, 2021, staff returned to the City Council at a study session with updated
scenarios to accommodate RHNA growth needs.
Based on all feedback provided, staff is now returning to the City Council with an updated
Draft Housing Element for review and consideration before submitting it to HCD for the
initial 60 -day review. This updated Draft Housing Element includes a revised housing
production scenario, updated inclusionary housing policy, and a new policy regarding
senior housing. Additional editorial changes to the document address a variety of
statutory requirements necessary to comply with state law. Each of these is detailed
further in this staff report.
Revised Housing Production Scenario
At the June 8, 2021 City Council study session, staff presented three updated housing
production options for consideration and feedback. Based on direction received at this
study session, staff returned to the City Council on June 22, 2021, to present a revised
housing production scenario.
SS6-2
Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element Update (PA2017-141)

This new scenario meets the following directives provided by the City Council:
• Includes an increased assumption of 1,000 accessory dwelling units;
• Increases assumed housing unit yields at Banning Ranch and Coyote Canyon;
• Deconcentrates affordable housing units from the Airport Area and presents a
more equitable distribution into the various focus areas citywide;
• Includes or excludes properties where letters of interest or disinterest were
received from property owners;
• Provides a revised assumed buffer to accommodate no net loss considerations;
and
• Reduces the overall planning assumptions.
Organization of the Draft Housing Element and Changes Made
Section 1: Introduction
The Introduction provides a summary of the statutory authority of the Housing
Element, discussion of the RHNA, relationship to other Elements of the General
Plan, and data sources used in the analyses. It also provides a summary of the
content of the Housing Element.
No changes to this Section since previous draft.
Section 2: Community Profile
The Community Profile provides a description of the demographic and housing
characteristics of Newport Beach. All statutory requirements for analyzing the
characteristics of residents and housing units are summarized in this Chapter.
Emphasis is provided showing housing trends, areas where overpayment is
occurring, areas where overconcentration of units is occurring, and the status of
existing housing stock. The analysis contained in this section uses the most
currently available data from a variety of Federal, State and local sources.
No changes to this Section since previous draft.
Section 3: Housing Resources, Constraints and Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
This Section analyzes governmental and non-governmental constraints in the
production of housing in the city. It also describes market conditions and land use
controls governing the development of residential lands. Constraints related to
infrastructure and environmental issues are also described. A summary of housing
resources, including a summary of sites available, financial resources and
opportunities for energy conservation, is also included.

July 13, 2021
Page 4
Pursuant to Assembly Bill AB 686 (Chapter 958, Statutes 2018), a needs
assessment for affirmatively furthering fair housing is provided. The new statute
requires analysis of disparities and dissimilarities in the provision of housing being
accessible to all persons regardless of racial, ethnic or economic status. The
section evaluates local and regional policies and evaluates resources to address
fair housing issues.
The following primary changes were made to this Section:
I. Updates to analysis of parking requirements to satisfy State law,
2. Description and analysis of Short -Term Lodging Ordinance;
3. Description and analysis of SB 35 streamlining requirements;
4. Updates to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing analysis;
5. Description and analysis of SB 330 requirements; and
6. Various minor amendments to text, clarifying statutory analysis.
Section 4: Housing Plan
The Housing Plan represents the City's official policies related to housing. Due to
the unique requirements in Housing Element law, these policies may be more
detailed and prescriptive than other policies in the General Plan. It also describes
overall housing goals, supported by policies and program actions. Each action
includes a description of the action, a timeline for its implementation, the party
responsible for implementation, and an assumed funding source.
The Housing Plan has the following eight goals:
Housing Goal #1: Provision of adequate sites to accommodate projected
housing unit growth needs identified by the 2021-2029 RHNA.
Housing Goal #2: Quality residential development and the preservation,
conservation, and appropriate redevelopment of housing stock.
Housing Goal #3: A variety of housing types, designs and opportunities for all
social and economic segments.
Housing Goal #4: Housing opportunities for as many renter- and owner -
occupied households as possible, in response to the market demand and RHNA
obligations for housing in the city.
Housing Goal #5: Preservation of the city's housing stock for extremely low-,
very low-, low-, and moderate -income households.
Housing Goal #6: Housing opportunities for special needs populations.
Housing Goal #7: Equal housing opportunities in the city for all people.

No changes to this Appendix since previous draft.
Appendix 8 — Adequate Sites Analysis
Provides a detailed summary of focus areas and a complete list of sites to
accommodate the City's 2021-2029 RHNA allocation of 4,845 units. The analysis
includes mapping and identification of sites that will constitute the inventory of sites
available for residential uses during the upcoming 2021-2029 planning period.
Table B-1 on Page B-3 (excerpted below) provides a summary of the RHNA
allocation and demonstrates how the City is meeting the required need.

The top row identifies the RHNA breakdown by income category.
The next three rows under "Sites Available" indicate what the City currently has in
the development pipeline. This includes projects that are entitled and not yet built
or projects that have been applied for, as well as those sites that were previously
identified as housing opportunity sites within the 5t" Cycle Housing Element.
Also included in this section is the City's aggressive accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
strategy of 1,000 units. This amount is nearly six times the accepted methodology
for identifying ADUs prescribed by HCD (i.e., the "safe harbor" approach), which
uses past development trends for ADU production and projects the average out
over the eight-year period. The safe harbor approach generates 167 units based
on the City's past performance. The unit counts in those three rows are deducted
from the "Total RHNA Obligations" and result in the "Remaining RHNA."
The next six rows identify focus areas for residential rezoning to help meet the
remaining, unmet need. The "Total Potential Development Capacity" row is the
sum of the three development pipeline rows and the six rezoning rows. The
resultant surpluses are shown in the row below and translate to the buffer
percentages.
Please note, this table correlates to all tables in Appendix B, including Table B-10,
which starts on Page B-19 and expands on the individual sites.

The following primary changes were made to this Appendix:
1. New summary narrative describing sites identification process;
2. Updated summary of sites methodology process;
3. Revised housing unit yield assumptions for each Focus Area;
4. Revised summary tables to comply with statutory requirements; and
5. Updated maps and tables.
Appendix C — Community Engagement Summary
Provides a summary of all community engagement activities, including meetings,
workshops, HEUAC Meetings and other print and digital engagement with the
community and stakeholders.
The following primary changes were made to this Appendix:
1. Addition of community workshop summaries; and
2. Summary of public comments received.
New Appendix D — Accessory Dwelling Unit Analysis
Provides expanded discussion in support of the City's desire to assume 1,000
accessory dwelling units, which is well above the "Safe Harbor" provisions
described in the HCD's guidance document. The discussion in the Appendix is
further supported by Policies 1 H, 11 and 1 J described below.
Policy Actions Summary and Changes Made
While there are many carryover policies from the current 5t" Cycle Housing Element, there
are also newly required updates and changes in policy for compliance with State law and
new legal requirements. Most of the updates relate to demonstrating adequate sites to
accommodate the 6t" Cycle RHNA allocation and to meet the State's housing goals
expressed through Housing Element and related laws. Several of the key policy actions
are summarized below and all the actions can be found in Section 4 of the draft update
(Attachment A).
Policy Actions 1A — 1 G
The initial draft provides several key focus areas for housing production and
indicates those areas will be subject to rezoning for by -right housing development,
using housing opportunity overlays or similar rezoning strategies. Those focus
areas include Airport Area Environs, West Newport Mesa, Dover/Westcliff,
Newport Center, Banning Ranch, Coyote Canyon, and remaining 5t" Cycle
Housing Element Sites. The unit targets included in each of these draft policy
actions are subject to change based upon City Council and community input, but
likely will not result in a material change to policy actions.
SS6-7
Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element Update (PA2017-141)
July 13, 2021
Page 8
Each of the focus areas, except for Banning Ranch, include sites that are not
presently designated for housing. The Airport Area Environs focus area is
noteworthy as the inventory includes sites that are within the 65 dBA CNEL noise
contour from John Wayne Airport where the City has not envisioned new housing
previously. The proposed sites are not within the more restrictive safety zones
established by the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP). Creating these
opportunity sites will require an amendment of the Noise Element and possibly an
override of the Airport Land Use Commission should it find the change inconsistent
with the AELUP.
These Policy Actions were updated to reflect the housing units in the most
recent rezone strategies in the directed housing production scenario.
Policy Actions 1H — 1J
In addition, the initial draft provides policies to encourage the production of
accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). These
policies aim to support an aggressive approach for construction of at least
1,000 ADUs or JADUs and include incentives for development, a monitoring
program, and an amnesty program for existing unpermitted units to become legal.
These Policy Actions were updated to reflect an increased ADU and JADU
production of 1,000 units. Additional policies were included to help
substantiate this strategy.
Policy Action 1K
An inclusionary housing program is also proposed to require the production of
affordable housing for new residential development projects. This policy is seen as
imperative to meeting the higher affordability required in the 6t" Cycle RHNA
allocation.
This Policy Action was updated to reflect City Council direction to clarify the
inclusionary policy will be preceded by a study to support ultimate
Inclusionary requirements.
Policy Action IL
This new policy provides for the development of policies, programs and priorities
for senior housing. The policy seeks to develop a comprehensive strategy to
further opportunities for senior housing in the community through various policy
and regulatory approaches to be determined.
This Policy Action was updated to reflect City Council direction to support
senior housing through an overlay or other approach as deemed
appropriate.
SS6-8
Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element Update (PA2017-141)
July 13, 2021
Page 9
Policy Actions 3A — 3B
These new policies are required for compliance with State law. They discuss the
creation of objective design standards for projects with affordable housing, as well
as streamlining residential projects under Senate Bill SB 35, and limit the City's
local review authority under certain conditions.
Policy Action 3A had several textual edits for clarity. No changes were made
to Policy Action 3B since previous draft.
Policy Action 4A
This new policy is required under Assembly Bill AB 686, which requires the City
take steps to affirmatively further fair housing. Affirmatively furthering fair housing
intends to resist discrimination by overcoming patterns of segregation and foster
inclusive communities that are free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity
based on protected classes.
No changes to this Policy Action since previous draft.
Policy Action 7A — 7D
In response to recent changes in State law, the City must address supportive
housing and low -barrier navigation centers for people who are experiencing
homelessness. These policies include by -right zoning for centers meeting certain
criteria, maintaining an inventory of adequate sites for supportive housing facilities,
and providing regulatory incentives for housing for persons with developmental
disabilities.
No changes to this Policy Action since previous draft.
Summary of Quantified Objectives
A summary table of quantified objectives for the 2021-2029 planning period has been
added to the end of the policy program, summarizing the total estimated number of units
to be constructed, preserved or rehabilitated.
Next Steps and Summary
During the study session, staff and the consultants request Council review and comment
on the revised draft Housing Element. All public comments should also be considered. All
comments during the process will inform and guide further refinement of the draft.
Following the study session, staff will direct the consultant to incorporate any requested
final edits to the draft. With the City Council's consent, staff will submit the revised draft
to HCD for a mandatory 60 -day review period.
SS6-9
Updated Draft of the General Plan Housing Element Update (PA2017-141)
July 13, 2021
Page 10
During the review period, City staff will coordinate with HCD staff to clarify any issues with
the draft document and conduct necessary edits to comply with statutory requirements.
HCD will also consider comments received from the public and stakeholders. At the end
of the 60 -day review period, HCD will provide a Letter of Substantial Compliance or a
review letter with findings that detail needed changes to comply with applicable law. It is
expected that revisions will likely be required due to the complexity of the Housing
Element.
On August 18, 2021, the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) will review the draft
Housing Element. It is anticipated ALUC will find parts of the City's housing plan
inconsistent with the Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP). Therefore, staff intends
to bring the Notice of Intent to Override to the City Council on September 14, 2021.
In September, the 45 -day public comment period for the Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) will commence.
On November 17, 2021, the HEUAC will meet to review the draft Housing Element. The
Planning Commission will review the revised draft in December and provide a
recommendation to the City Council. Subsequently, the City Council will review and adopt
a final document for submission to HCD no later than February 15, 2022. If the February
deadline is not met, the City will be subjected to a statutory penalty of two, four-year
Housing Element update cycles instead of the current eight-year cycle.
After adoption of the Housing Element Update, the City would then need to implement
the policies approved in the document. The City would have three years to complete the
requisite land use policy changes, including updating the Land Use Element for
consistency and rezoning sites through housing opportunity overlays or similar zoning
strategies. The City Council may also consider creating new design standards or
developing specific plan areas that address mixed use opportunities. Section 4 of the draft
includes a complete list of policy actions and their timeframe for implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This is a discussion item. No action will be taken and, as a result, it is not subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City will prepare an environmental
impact report for both the Housing and Circulation Element Updates that will be certified
prior to the adoption of either update. The process will include a traffic study that will
examine the impact of the housing plan using the traditional level of service (LOS)
analysis and the new vehicle miles traveled (VMT) metric. The analysis will inform the
City Council and community of the impact to mobility and assist in future transportation
planning. Lastly, the analysis could prompt additional changes to the housing plan and
the draft Circulation Element Update that will be reviewed by the City Council later.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
The Housing Element of the Newport Beach General Plan identifies and analyzes the City's existing and
projected housing needs and contains a detailed outline and work program of the City's goals, policies,
quantified objectives, and programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for
a sustainable future. The Heusing E'^m^^*It is one of the seven mandatory elements to be included in a
city's General Plan. The HeWSiRg Elem^^*policy program identifies ways in which housing needs of current
and future residents can be met. The H ing Elem^^*It also ensures that the City establishes policies,
procedures and incentives in its land use planning and development activities to ensuFe address the
maintenance and expansion of the housing supply to adequately accommodate households currently
living and expected to live in Newport Beach. The HOUS;r,^ Element institutes pelie�policies identified
tha-t will help guide future City decision-making and establishes an implementation program to achieve
the City's housing goals for the 2021-2029 period.
1. Background
The Housing Element identifies and analyzes the City's existing and projected housing needs. The Housing
Element contains a detailed outline and work program of the City's goals, policies, and quantified
objectives for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing for a sustainable future. This
includes timelines for the City to accomplish each identified action within the Housing Plan.
2. State Requirements
California State Housing Element Law (California Government Code Article 10.6) establishes the
requirements for the Housing Element. California Government Code Section 65588 requires that local
governments review and revise the Housing Element of their comprehensive General Plans not less than
once every eight years.
The California Legislature has determined that a primary housing goal for the State is ensuring every
resident has a decent home and suitable living environment. Section 655880 of the California Government
Code states:
a. The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent
housing and a suitable living environment for every Californian, including farmworkers, is a
priority of the highest order.
b. The early attainment of this goal requires cooperative participation of government and the private
sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of
Californians in all economic levels.
c. The provisions of housing affordable to low- and moderate -income households requires the
cooperation of all levels of the government.
Section 1: Introduction (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 1-2
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
d. Local and State governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate
the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for housing needs of
all economic segments of the community. The Legislature recognizes that in carrying out this
responsibility, each local government also has the responsibility to consider economic,
environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals set forth in the general plan and to
cooperate with other local governments and the state in addressing regional housing needs.
Table 1-1 summarizes State requirements for Housing Element and identifies the applicable sections in
the 2021-2029 Housing Element where these requirements are addressed.

The City's Housing Element was last updated in September 2013 for the 5th cycle from years 2014 to 2021,
as part of the new update cycle for jurisdictions within the SCAG (Southern California Association of
Governments) region to allow for synchronization with the Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The Element sets forth an 8 -year strategy to address the City's identified
housing needs, including specific implementing programs and activities.
Amendments have been made to Housing Element law since the adoption of the City's 5th Cycle Housing
Element; such amendments and subsequent housing laws change the required analysis, reporting and
policies contained in the Housing Element. The contents of this updated Housing Element comply with
these amendments to state housing law and all other federal, state and local requirements.
3. Regional Housing Needs Assessment
Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth the specific content requirements of a jurisdiction's
housing element. Included in these requirements are obligations on the part of local jurisdictions to
provide their "fair share" of regional housing needs. Local governments and Councils of Governments
(COGS) are required to determine existing and future housing need and the allocation of this need must
Section 1: Introduction (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 1-4
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
be approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Newport
Beach is a member agency of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is
responsible for preparing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for all jurisdictions within the
SCAG region.
HCD established the planning period for the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) from
October 15, 2021 to October 15, 2029. For the 2021-2029 planning period the City was allocated a total
of 4,845 units, including 1,456 for very low-income, 930 for low-income, 1,050 for moderate -income, and
1,409 for above -moderate income households.
4. Relationship to Other Community Plan Elements
The Housing Element is one element of the City of Newport Beach General Plan. The goals, policies,
actions, and programs within the Housing Element relate directly to, and are consistent with, all other
elements in the Newport Beach General Plan. The City's Housing Element identifies programs and
resources required for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing to meet the existing
and projected needs of its population.
The Housing Element works in tandem with development policies contained in the Land Use Element,
most recently amended in 2013. The Land Use Element establishes the location, type, intensity and
distribution of land uses throughout the City, and defines the land use build -out potential. By designating
residential development, the Land Use Element places an upper limit on the densities and types of housing
units constructed in the City. The Land Use Element also identifies lands designated for a range of other
uses, including employment creating uses, open space, and public uses. The presence and potential for
jobs affects the current and future demand for housing at the various income levels in the City.
The Circulation Element of the General Plan also affects the implementation of the Housing Element. The
Circulation Element establishes policies for a balanced circulation system in the City. Consequently, the
Housing Element must include policies and incentives that consider the types of infrastructure essential
for residential housing units in addition to mitigating the effects of growth in the City.
The Housing Element has been reviewed for consistency with the City's other General Plan components,
and the policies and programs in this Element are consistent with the policy direction contained in other
parts of the General Plan. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future, the Housing Element
will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained.
5. Public Participation (UPDATED AS WE PROcrrni
Section 65583 of the Government Code states that, "The local government shall make diligent effort to
achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the
housing element, and the program shall describe this effort." Meaningful community participation is also
required in connection with the City's Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). A discussion of citizen
participation is provided below.
As part of the 6t" Cycle Housing Element Update process, the City of Newport Beach conducted extensive
public outreach activities beginning in 2019.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
" s ,
.77
The Community Profile for the City of Newport Beach provides an overview of the City's housing and
population conditions. The community profile serves as the foundation for the Housing Elements policies
by describing and assessing the factors and characteristics that contribute to the supply and demand for
housing in Newport Beach. Specifically, the community profile describes the community's population,
employment, economics, and household characteristics. Special Needs groups and housing stock
characteristics are also described. The community profile develops context for the goals, programs, and
policies, established in the Housing Element.
The data used for this community profile has been collected using the most current available data from
the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), 2010 U.S. Census, 2010-2018 American
Community Survey, the California Department of Finance, the California Employment Development
Department, the California Department of Education and other currently available real estate market
data. Data has also been collected from the SCAG Local Housing report for Newport Beach, which provides
facts and Figures pre -certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) for use in the 6t" Cycle Housing Elements.
Population characteristics affect current and future housing demands in a community. Population growth,
age compositions and race/ethnicity influence the type and extent of housing needed and the ability of
the local population to afford housing costs. The following section describes and analyzes the various
population characteristics and local trends in Newport Beach.
Population Growth
Table 2-1 below displays the forecasted population growth for Newport Beach, as it compares to the
County and other surrounding jurisdictions/cities. The U.S. Census reported a population of 85,186
individuals for the City in 2010. This is the second smallest population for this area after Laguna Beach,
which has a population of 22,723. The 2010 population of Newport Beach represents about 3 percent of
the Orange County total population.
The Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) Final Growth Reports calculates estimates for
future population counts and economic and housing trends through 2045. The SCAG data shown in Table
2-1 estimates a population growth for Newport Beach of 7,100 individuals, or an 8.4 -percent increase,
between 2016 and 2045. The growth calculation is consistent with that expected in Costa Mesa and is
double that of Huntington Beach. In comparison, the City of Irvine anticipates a population surge of about
25 percent through 2045. Between 2016 and 2045, Newport Beach population is forecasted to grow by
about 2 percent less than Orange County.

2. Age Characteristics
The age composition of a community affects housing needs because housing demand within the market
is often determined by the preferences of certain age groups. For example, young adults generally favor
apartments, low to moderate -cost condominiums, and smaller or more affordable single -unit homes
because they tend to live on smaller incomes and have smaller households. As population moves through
different stages of life, housing is required to accommodate new or adjusted needs. To produce a well-
balanced and healthy community, a community must provide appropriate housing to accommodate needs
of all ages.

Newport Beach population that falls within the ages of 45 to 64 represents the largest age group, as shown
in Figure 2-1. In 2018, 30.2 percent of the population was between the ages of 45 and 64. Children under
5 years of age make up about 4 percent of the population, and 18.5 percent are 19 years or younger.
Adults in the 35 to 44 age group have the second lowest population representation at 10.7 percent.
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-3
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
From 2010 to 2018, Newport Beach shows an aging population trend. All age groups under 45 years have
consistently been decreasing. The 20 to 34 age group has experienced the greatest population loss at 3
percent between 2010 to 2018. In comparison, seniors over 65 years have increased by 4.4 percent during
the same time. The middle -age and senior populations both make up the largest age groups and can be
expected to continue increasing given the decreasing distribution of young adults and children.
Table 2-2 compares the age distribution of Newport Beach to the rest of the county and surrounding
cities. The City has a below average age distribution for those ages 44 and under as compared to Orange
County. The City of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach both exceed 22 percent of senior populations, while
the surrounding cities and county range from 9 to 16 percent. All municipalities in Table 2-2 have lower
distributions of individuals ages 15 to 17 and higher distributions of individuals 45 to 64 years of age.

3. Race/Ethnicity Characteristics
Racial and ethnic composition contribute to housing needs due to varying household characteristics,
income levels, and cultural backgrounds which may affect their housing needs, housing choice and
housing types. Cultural influences may reflect preference for a specific type of housing.
As summarized in Figure 2-2, Newport Beach is comprised mainly of White individuals at 85.3 percent of
the population in 2018. American Indian/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islanders
comprise the lowest percentage; both populations in Newport Beach and Orange County add up to less
than 1 percent of the population. The White population in Newport Beach is 23.6 percent greater than
the county and the Hispanic or Latino population is 25.1 percent less than that of the county. The Black
population represents 0.8 percent of the Newport Beach population, which is half that of Orange County.
The Asian population of Newport Beach is 11.8 percent smaller than that of Orange County and there are
9.6 percent less individuals in the City who identify as some other race than in the County.

Reporting and analyzing economic characteristics of a community provides valuable information on the
community's ability to access the housing market. Incomes associated with different types of employment
and the number of workers in a household affect housing affordability and choice. Therefore, to consider
a healthy balance between jobs and housing, the employment characteristics of a community must be
considered. Local employment growth is linked to local housing demand, and the reverse is true with
employment contracts.
7. Employment and Wage Scale
Employment directly affects housing needs, as employment and income informs a population's ability to
purchase housing and the types of housing they would be inclined to purchase. Table 2-5 summarizes
projected employment growth for Newport Beach and its surrounding cities and Orange County between
2012 to 2040. These projections are provided by the Southern California Association of Government's
(SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The report is a long-
range plan that considers future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental, and public
health goals and was adopted on April 7, 2016.
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-6
City of Newport Beach
2021-2429 HOUSING ELEMENT
Table 2-5 shows that Newport Beach is estimated to experience an employment growth of 1.8 percent
between 2016 to 2045. The total employment growth in the City is significantly less in percentage than
the forecast for the surrounding cities. City of Irvine is estimated to experience a 24.5 percent increase
through 2045, which is about 10 percent more than the percentage projected for the whole county. While
Newport Beach is projected to experience the least employment growth as a percent, the growth
represents an increase in 1,500 new employees; this is a greater numeric change than Laguna Beach. The
number of new employees projected for Newport Beach represent 0.5 percent of employment growth
for the county.
Based on data from the United States Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5 -Year Estimates,
the number of employed people in Newport Beach reached 43,892 in 2018. This value is less than the
amount projected by the SCAG RTP/SCS. A contributing factor for this may be the increasing amount of
the population over the retirement age, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Table 2-6 identifies employment sectors in Newport Beach and the changes in employment for each
sector between 2010 and 2018. Most employed people in the City work in professional, scientific,
management, and administrative services (19.4 percent). The sector with the least amount of residents
employed was agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and mining, with only 0.2 percent in 2018. Two
other popular sectors in the City in 2018 were finance and insurance, and real estate and rental leasing at
18.7 percent as well as education services, health care, and social assistance at 17.1 percent. None of the
employment sectors in Newport Beach have experienced changes in employment greater than 1 percent
between the two survey years. This has resulted in a decrease of 0.5 percent in total employment, rather
than in an increase as forecasted in Table 2-5.

Table 2-6 shows that employment decreased slightly from 2010 to 2018 despite a projected growth and
estimated employment amount much larger than that reached. Nonetheless, unemployment rates
displayed in Table 2-7 show a drop by 1 percent during the same period. Unemployment factors into
housing needs as the lack of income necessitates the availability of affordable housing. Newport Beach
has maintained an unemployment rate of 3.4 percent in 2018 - the lowest unemployment rate for this
area, and 1.7 percent below Orange County.

Based on the data in Table 2-7, approximately 2,492 Newport Beach residents were without work in 2018
and would therefore be more likely to require more affordable housing options. For those that are
employed, income level further identifies housing types that may need to be provided within the City.
According to the SCAG Draft Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Methodology, housing needs
by income are broken down into four income levels:
+ Very Low -Income (50 percent or less of the county's median family income)
+ Low -Income (50-80 percent of the county median family income)
+ Moderate -Income (80-120 percent of the county median family income)
+ Above Moderate -Income (120 and above of the county median family income)
Orange County's median family income is $85,398 according to the 2018 ACS estimates. The occupations
that fall below 50 percent of this amount are Protective Services; Sales; Office and Administration Support;
Production; Transportation and Material Moving; Healthcare Support; Building, Grounds Cleaning, and
Maintenance; Personal Care and Service; Farming, Fishing and Forestry; and Food Preparation and Serving
Related. Most occupations in Orange County have an average income that is either low or very low.

A household includes all persons who occupy a housing unit, as defined by the Census. This may include
single persons living alone, families related through marriage, blood or adoption, domestic partnerships
and unrelated individuals living together. Nursing facilities, residential care facilities, dormitories, and
other group living, as well as, the persons living with them are not considered a housing unit.
Income and affordability are best measured at the household level, as well as the special needs of certain
groups, such as large families, single parent households, or low and extremely low-income households.
For example, if a city has a prominent aging population who are homeowners but live on fixed incomes,
it may consider implementing a home beautification assistance program.
Household Tvae and Size
Newport Beach contains 37,870 total households, which is the second smallest household amount behind
Laguna Beach with 10,542 total households. Female households with no spouse present represent the
lowest amount at 4.9 percent and is 6.9 percent below the regional percentage. Orange County has 28.2
percent non -family households, but all cities in this area, including Newport Beach, have percentages that
exceed 33 percent. Newport Beach non -family households account for the second largest percentage at
42.5 percent. When combined with senior households over the age of 65 and living alone, as shown in
Figure 2-3, it amounts to 56 percent of households in the City. These two groups of people tend to occupy
apartments or smaller age centric living areas and would also be considered in determining housing needs.

2. Household Income
Household income is an indicator of housing needs in a community because household income is directly
connected to affordability. As household income increases, it is more likely that the household can afford
market rate housing units, larger units and/or pursue ownership opportunities. However, as household
income decreases, households tend to pay a disproportionate amount of their income for housing. This
may influence increased incidences of overcrowding and substandard living conditions.
The California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has identified the
following income categories based on the Area Median Family Income (AMFI) of Orange County:
+ Extremely Low-income: households earning up to 30 percent of the AMFI
+ Very Low-income: households earning between 31 and 50 percent of the AMFI
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-12
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT l -
+ Low-income: households earning between 51 percent and 80 percent of the AMFI
+ Moderate Income: households earning between 81 percent and 120 percent of the AMA
+ Above Moderate Income: households earning over 120 percent of the AMFI
Combined, the extremely low, very low, and low-income groups are referred to as lower income.'
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) estimates based on 2006-2017 American
Community Survey (ACS) data is used below. Table 2-12 shows a greater percentage of homeowners (57
percent) than renters (43 percent) in Newport Beach. Just under 70 percent of households are estimated
to have a moderate or above income and 21.6 percent earn a lower income. A greater number of renters
are estimated to earn a lower income than of homeowners. About 60 percent of households in the
extremely low-income category identified as renters, as for very low- and low-income households.
Homeownership was more likely for households in the moderate or above moderate -income groups.

The ACS 2018 data shown in Figure 2-4 below depicts median household income for Newport Beach,
surrounding jurisdictions, and the County of Orange. The figure shows a much higher median household
income in the City that exceeds the regional median by $37,311 annually. At $122,709, Newport Beach
has the highest median household income than any of the neighboring cities. Laguna Beach is in close
second with an annual median household income of $121,474. Costa Mesa is the only nearby city with a
median household income below the regional median and $43,502 below Newport Beach. Table 2-13 also
compares median household incomes by percent points above or below the regional amount. All cities
around Newport Beach, except for Costa Mesa, exceed the Orange County median household income of
$85,398.
Federal housing and community development programs typically assist households with incomes up to 80 percent of the AMFI and
use different terminology. For example, the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program refers households with
incomes between 51 and 80 percent AMFI as moderate income (compared to low-income based on State definition).

The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) developed by the Census Bureau for the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides detailed information on housing needs
by income level for different types of households in Newport Beach. The most recent available CHAS data
for the City was published in August 2020 and was based on 2006-2017 ACS data. Housing problems
considered by CHAS included:
+ Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom);
+ Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room);
+ Housing cost burdens, including utilities, exceeding 30 percent of gross income; or
+ Severe housing cost burdens, including utilities, exceeding 50 percent of gross income.
As is the case with many cities, there is strong variation between homeowners and renters who
experience housing problems in the City, as shown in Table 2-14. Of all homeowners in the City, 35.3
percent experience at least one housing problem, while 45.1 percent of renters experience one these
problems. Over half of all households in the City have at least one housing problem (58.5 percent).
Severe housing problems are comprised of incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities,
more than 1.5 persons per room, and a cost burden greater than 50 percent. The CHAS reports that just
under a quarter of Newport Beach households experience at least one of these problems (23 percent).
Similarly to general housing problems, renters here are also more likely to be affected; in the City, 27.2
percent of renter -occupied units are subject to at least one severe housing problem. A lower — yet
substantial — percentage of homeowners live with at least one severe housing problem (19.8 percent).

,, overcrowding
"Overcrowding" is generally defined as a housing unit occupied by more than one person per room in
house (including living room and dining rooms, but excluding hallways, kitchen, and bathrooms). An
overcrowded household results from either a lack of affordable housing, which forces more than one
household to live together, and/or a lack of available housing units of adequate size. Overcrowding can
indicate that a community does not have an adequate supply of affordable housing, especially for large
families. However, overcrowding can also be a result of different cultural or demographic housing
preferences. For example, the option to live with an existing family member in a new country may be a
an opportunity for an immigrant family or person to transition from an old home to a new one securely
and help maintain cultural values.
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-16
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
Overcrowded and severely overcrowded households can lead to neighborhood deterioration due to the
intensive use of individual housing units leading to excessive wear and tear, and the potential cumulative
overburdening of community infrastructure and service capacity. Overcrowding in neighborhoods can
lead to an overall decline in social cohesion and environmental quality. Such decline can often spread
geographically and impact the quality of life and the economic value of property and the vitality of
commerce within a city. The combination of lower incomes and high housing costs result in many
households living in overcrowded housing conditions.

Table 2-15 breaks down the severity of overcrowding in Newport Beach by household tenure. As the table
shows, there is a very low percentage of units that are overcrowded (1.5 percent). About 80 percent of
those overcrowded units are renter -occupied, with 1.3 percent of households being overcrowded and
severely overcrowded. Only 0.2 percent of owner -occupied units exceed 1 person per bedroom. In
comparison to the surrounding cities, as outlined in Table 2-16, Newport Beach has kept the lowest
percentages of overcrowding for both renters and homeowners. Costa Mesa reported the largest total
percentage of overcrowded cities (9 percent), which is 7.5 percent over that of Newport Beach. Orange
County reported 21,800 overcrowded units and 8.9 percent of total households.

2. Overpayment (Cost Burden) In Relationship to Income
State and federal standards indicate that a household paying more than 30 percent of its income for
housing is overpaying. Overpayment for housing can cause an imbalance on the remainder of a
household's budget.
As reported by the CHAS and presented in Table 2-18, a large portion of households are subject to some
form of overpayment in Newport Beach. Renters in the City represent a greater portion of the community
that is overpaying for housing, but homeowners are 12 percent behind and exceed renters in total count
—there are 11,810 homeowners overpaying and 10,880 renters overpaying for housing. Homeowners who
earn over 100 percent of the HUD area median family income (AMFI), and are considered high income,
make up the largest group experiencing cost burdens greater than 30 percent and 50 percent. For renters,
those who experience housing burdens are those who earn a moderate to low income.

* Cost burden is the ratio of housing costs to household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent (contract rent plus utilities). For
owners, housing cost is "select monthly owner costs", which includes mortgage payment, utilities, association fees, insurance, and real
estate taxes.
Note: AMFI = Area Median Family Income, this is the median family income calculated by HUD for each jurisdiction, to determine Fair
Market Rents (FMRs) and income limits for HUD programs. AMFI will not necessarily be the same as other calculations of median incomes
(such as a simple Census number), due to a series of adjustments that are made.

M-1
State law recognizes that certain households may have more difficulty in finding adequate and affordable
housing due to special circumstances. Special needs populations include seniors, persons with disabilities,
female -headed households, large households, and farm workers.
Special circumstances may be related to one's employment and income, family characteristics, disability
and household characteristics, or other factors. Consequently, certain residents in Newport Beach may
experience higher incidences of housing overpayment (cost burden), overcrowding, or other housing
problems. The special needs groups analyzed in the Housing Element include the elderly, persons with
disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), people experiencing homelessness, single
parents, large households, and farmworkers (Table 2-18). These groups may overlap, for example elderly
people may also have a disability of some type. The majority of these special needs groups could be
assisted by an increase in affordable housing.

Seniors
The senior population, which is generally defined as those over 65 years of age, has several concerns:
limited and fixed incomes, high healthcare costs, higher incidence of mobility and self-care limitations,
transit dependency, and living alone. Specific housing needs of the senior population include affordable
housing, supportive housing (such as intermediate care facilities), group homes, and other housing that
includes a planned service component.
Newport Beach has the second largest population of seniors over the age of 65 at 22.7 percent, as shown
in Table 2-19. This is 8.8 percent above the percentage for the County. Laguna Beach is reported to have
the largest senior population of the area (23.3 percent) and Irvine has the lowest at 9.9 percent of its
population.

In addition to overpayment problems faced by seniors due to their relatively fixed incomes, many seniors
are faced with various disabilities. In 2018, the American Community Survey (ACS) reported 4,134 seniors
with disabilities. Among these disabilities, the most common were ambulatory disabilities, independent
living disabilities and hearing disabilities.
Z. Persons with Physical and Developmental Disabilities
Physical and developmental disabilities can hinder access to traditionally designed housing units, as well
as potentially limit the ability to earn adequate income. Physical, mental, and/or developmental
disabilities may deprive a person from earning income, restrict one's mobility, or make self-care difficult.
Thus, persons with disabilities often have special housing needs related to limited earning capacity, a lack
of accessible and affordable housing, and higher healthcare costs associated with a disability. Some
residents suffer from disabilities that require living in a supportive or institutional setting.
Although no current comparisons of disability with income, household size, or race/ethnicity are available,
it is reasonable to assume that a substantial portion of persons with disabilities would have annual
incomes within Federal and State income limits. Furthermore, many lower income persons with
disabilities are likely to require housing assistance and services. Housing needs for disabled persons are
further compounded by design issues and location factors, which can often be costly. For example, special
needs of households with wheelchair-bound or semi -ambulatory individuals may require ramps, holding
bars, special bathroom designs, wider doorways, lower cabinets, elevators, and other interior and exterior
design features.

-�.
Housing opportunities for persons with disabilities can be addressed through the provision of affordable,
barrier -free housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward renters and homeowners with
disabilities for unit modification to improve accessibility.
The 2018 ACS identifies six disability types: hearing disability, vision disability, cognitive disability,
ambulatory disability, self-care disability and independent living disability. The Census and the ACS
provide clarifying questions to determine persons with disabilities and differentiate disabilities within the
population. The ACS defines a disability as a report of one of the six disabilities identified by the following
questions:
+ Hearing Disability: Is this person deaf or does he/she have serious difficulty hearing?
+ Visual Disability: Is this person blind or do they have serious difficulty seeing even when wearing
glasses?
+ Cognitive Difficulty: Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does this person have
serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions?
+ Ambulatory Difficulty: Does this person have serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs?
+ Independent Living Difficulty: Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does this
person have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor's office or shopping?

State law requires that the Housing Element discuss the housing needs of persons with developmental
disabilities. As defined by federal law, "developmental disability" means a severe, chronic disability of an
individual that:
+ Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical
impairments;
+ Is manifested before the individual attains age 22;
+ Is likely to continue indefinitely;
+ Results in substantial functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life
activity: a) self-care; b) receptive and expressive language; c) learning; d) mobility; e) self-
direction; f) capacity for independent living; or g) economic self-sufficiency; and
+ Reflects the individual's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or
generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or
extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated.
Per Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code a "developmental disability" means a disability that
originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue,
indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability forthat individual which includes intellectual disability,
cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term also includes disabling conditions found to be closely
related to intellectual disability or to require treatment like that required for individuals with intellectual
disability but shall not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature.
According to the Regional Center of Orange County's (RCOC) Total Annual Expenditures and Authorized
Services for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, a total of 25,163 individuals received services. RCOC represents the
fifth largest regional center in California and has over 300 service coordinators. Of those who received
services, 31.6 percent reported their race as White, 16 percent reported Asian, 16.1 percent reported
Other Ethnicity or Race/Multi-Cultural, and 2 percent reporter Black/African American. Approximately 34
percent of those who received services also reported their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino. Ages of the
25,163 individuals includes 21.1 percent 2 years or younger, 39.9 percent 3 to 21 years, and 39 percent
over the age of 22. The majority of those who received services lived at the home of a parent or guardian
(82.3 percent), but 6.8 percent live in a Community Care Facility and 5.6 percent live in Independent Living
or Supported Living. Diagnosis reported by the individuals who received services include the following:
+ Intellectual Disability: 37.6%
+ Autism: 31%
+ Cerebral Palsy: 2.5.%
+ Epilepsy: 1%
+ Category 5: 3.9%
+ Other:24.1%
Many people with developmental disabilities can live and work independently within a conventional
housing environment. Individuals with more severe developmental disabilities may require a group living
environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an
institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because
developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for persons with
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-22
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
developmental disabilities is the transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate
level of independence as an adult.
There are several housing types appropriate for people living with a development disability: rent -
subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single -unit homes, inclusionary housing, Section 8 vouchers,
special programs for home purchase, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) housing,
and SB 962 (veterans) homes. The design of housing -accessibility modifications, the proximity to services
and transit, and the availability of group living opportunities represent some of the types of considerations
that are important in serving the needs of this group. Incorporating 'barrier -free' design in all, new multi-
unit housing (as required by California and Federal Fair Housing laws) is especially important to provide
the widest range of choices for residents with disabilities. Special consideration should also be given to
the affordability of housing, as people with disabilities may be living on a fixed income.
3. Large Households
Large households are defined as those consisting of five or more members. These households comprise
a special need group because many communities have a limited supply of adequately sized and affordable
housing units. To save for other necessities such as food, clothing, and medical care, it is common for
lower income large households to reside in smaller units with inadequate number of bedrooms, which
frequently results in overcrowding and can contribute to fast rates of deterioration.
Securing housing large enough to accommodate all members of a household is more challenging for
renters because multi -unit rental units are typically physically smaller than single -unit ownership homes.
While apartment complexes offeringtwo and three bedrooms are common, apartments with four or more
bedrooms are rare. It is more likely that large households will experience overcrowding in comparison to
smaller households. Additionally, throughout the region, single -unit homes with higher bedroom counts,
whether rental or ownership units, are rarely affordable to lower income households.
Table 2-21 outlines the number of large households in the City by tenure and household size. As is shown,
the vast majority of large households are owner -occupied rather than rented (71.3 percent and 28.7
percent respectively). There are very few households with 7 or more persons in owner -occupied homes
and none in rentals. Amongst all rental homes, 2.5 percent are 5 -person households and amongst owned
homes 4.4 percent are 5 -person households.

4. Single -Parent Households
Single -parent households often require special consideration and assistance due to their greater need for
affordable and accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. Many female -headed
households with children are susceptible to having lower incomes than similar two-parent households.
Single, female mothers often face social marginalization pressures that often limit their occupational
choices and income earning potential, housing options and access to supportive services.
Table 2-22 shows there are few single parent households in Newport Beach (3.6 percent) as compared to
7.4 percent in Orange County. Most single -parent households in both the City and Orange County are
headed by females without a spouse present— 68.9 percent in Newport Beach and 70.5 percent in Orange
County. The percentage of single parents living in poverty in the City is half that of the regional percentage.

5. Farmworkers
Farmworkers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through permanent
or seasonal agricultural labor. Permanent farm laborers work in the fields, processing plants, or support
activities on a generally year-round basis. When workload increases during harvest periods, the labor
force is supplemented by seasonal workers, often supplied by a labor contractor. For some crops, farms
may hire migrant workers, defined as those whose travel prevents them from returning to their primary
residence every evening. Farm workers have special housing needs because they earn lower incomes than
many other workers and move throughout the year from one harvest location to the next.
The United States Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics provides data on hired farm
labor across the United States. The data is compiled at both a State and County level. Within Orange
County, a total of 99 farms reportedly hired 1,772 workers in 2017. Permanent workers, those who work
150 days or more, represent the largest category of workers with 1,106 workers (62 percent). A total of
666 workers (38 percent) are considered seasonal and work less than 150 days. Orange County reported
340 migrant workers (19 percent) with full time hired labor in 2017. In addition, the County reported 176
unpaid workers.
2018 ACS 5 -Year Estimates data reports a total of 92 Newport Beach residents employed in the agriculture,
forestry, fishing, hunting, and mining industry. The median annual wage for these industries is $27,472
and falls below 50 percent of the median income for Orange County (32 percent).

6. Extremely Low-income Households and Poverty Status
The 2013-2017 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) indicates that there are 3,270 low-
income households living in Newport Beach. Very low-income households earn 50 percent of less of the
area median family income (AMFI) for Orange County. Extremely low-income households earn less than
30 percent of the AMFI. There are approximately 3,855 extremely low-income households in the City,
including both renters and homeowners. Table 2-23 below shows a breakdown of housing problems for
Newport Beach households by income category.
Table 2-23 shows that about 10 percent more renters live with at least one housing problem. More lower
income renters report a housing problem — 9.2 percent with extremely low income, 10.6 percent with
very low income, and 12.5 percent with low income. About 45 percent of renters experience one or more
housing problems. Homeowners typically report less of a cost burden than renters. In Newport Beach,
35.3 percent of homeowners have at least one housing problem. The majority of those are in above -
moderate income households (15.9 percent). In total, for both renters and homeowners, 39.5 percent of
households have at least one housing problem.
While representing only 0.8 percent of the Newport Beach population, people who identify as Black have
the highest rates of poverty in the City, as illustrated in Figure 2-6. Similarly, American Indian/Alaska
Natives and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islanders make up the smallest population percentages (0.3
percent and 0.2 percent, respectively) and together account for over 20 percent of those living below the
poverty line. Values in the bar graph below contrasted to racial and ethnic composition of the City
illustrate critical differences in housing needs.

7. Persons Experiencing Homelessness
Throughout the country and Orange County region, homelessness has become an increasingly important
issue. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include, increased unemployment and
underemployment, a lack of housing affordable to lower and moderate -income persons (especially
extremely low-income households), reductions in public subsidies to the poor, and the de-
institutionalization of the mentally ill.
State law mandates that cities address the special needs of persons experiencing homelessness within
their jurisdictional boundaries. "Homelessness" as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has recently been updated, the following lists the updated descriptions and the
changes in the definition from HUD:
+ People who are living in a place not meant for human habitation, in emergency shelter, in
transitional housing, or are exiting an institution where they temporarily resided. The only
significant change from existing practice is that people will be considered homeless if they are
exiting an institution where they resided for up to 90 days (it was previously 30 days) and were in
shelter or a place not meant for human habitation immediately prior to entering that institution.
+ People who are losing their primary nighttime residence, which may include a motel or hotel or a
doubled -up situation, within 14 days and lack resources or support networks to remain in housing.
HUD had previously allowed people who were being displaced within 7 days to be considered
homeless. The proposed regulation also describes specific documentation requirements for this
category.
+ Families with children or unaccompanied youth who are unstably housed and likely to continue
in that state. This is a new category of homelessness, and it applies to families with children or
unaccompanied youth who have not had a lease or ownership interest in a housing unit in the last
60 or more days, have had 2 or more moves in the last 60 days, and who are likely to continue to
be unstably housed because of disability or multiple barriers to employment.
+ People who are fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, have no other residence, and lack
the resources or support networks to obtain other permanent housing. This category is similar to
the current practice regarding people who are fleeing domestic violence.
This definition does not include persons living in substandard housing (unless it has been officially
condemned); persons living in overcrowded housing (for example, doubled up with others); persons being
discharged from mental health facilities (unless the person was homeless when entering and is considered
to be homeless at discharge); or persons who may be at risk of homelessness (for example, living
temporarily with family or friends.)
The Point in Time Count is conducted by the County of Orange in accordance with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines to provide information on where individuals

experiencing homelessness are in the County. About 1,167 volunteers across the County counted 6,860
individuals experiencing homelessness. Of those, 2,899 were sheltered and 3,961 were unsheltered. The
2020 Count is not yet available online, therefore this data is based on the Count conducted in January
2019 — the individual city results are shown in Table 2-24. Of the nearby cities, Newport Beach had the
lowest count and percentage of people experiencing homelessness (64 individuals and 0.9 percent of the
County). Huntington Beach recorded the greatest percentage at 5.1 percent. Of all those reported in
Orange County, 5 percent were veterans, 4 percent were transitional youth ages 18 to 24, and 9 percent
were seniors over the age of 65.

rz- Students
Student housing often only produces a temporary housing need based on the duration of the educational
institution enrolled in. The impact upon housing demand is critical in areas that surround universities and
colleges. Located in Newport Beach is Coastline College, and colleges near the City include University of
California, Irvine; Concordia University; Orange Coast College; Vanguard University; Laguna College of Art
and Design; SOKA University; and Irvine Valley College. Students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate
programs, make up about 6 percent of the total population of Newport Beach. Typically, students are low-
income and are, therefore, affected by a lack of affordable housing, especially within easy commuting
distance from campus, therefore it is important for the City to consider and accommodate the student
population within the community. They often seek shared housing situations to decrease expenses and
can be assisted through roommate referral services offered on and off campus. A lack of affordable
housing also influences choices students make after graduating.
The characteristics of the housing stock, including growth, type, availability and tenure, age and condition,
housing costs, and affordability contribute to the housing needs for the community. This section details
the housing characteristics of Newport Beach to identify how well the current housing stock meets the
needs of its current and future residents.

4 Housing Growth
According to the American Community Survey (ACS), the City's housing stock grew by 1,298 units between
2010 and 2018 (Table 2-25). This 2.9 percent increase was the second largest in this area, behind the City
of Irvine which had a dramatically larger gain of 31 percent. Orange County as a whole experienced a 4.6
percent housing stock increase during this same time period, which is 1.7 percent more than Newport
Beach. The City of Costa Mesa had smaller percent change than Newport Beach by 2.3 percent.

2. Housing Type
Table 2-26 is a breakdown of housing units by type in Newport Beach in contrast to Orange County. The
table reflects data from the American Community Survey which is estimates based on the U.S. Census and
surveys. A large percentage of housing units in the City come from single unit detached homes (47.8
percent). Single unit attached homes typically do not take up a large portion of the housing stock, but in
Newport Beach they account for 16.1 percent of all units. Another 34.5 percent is multi -unit housing,
which is the same for the County as well. Mobile homes are the smallest category of housing types with
1.5 percent of all units. It is important to provide a wide variety of housing types throughout the City in
order to ensure all housing needs for the population are met.

3. Housing Availability and Tenure
" s ,
.77
Housing tenure and vacancy rates generally influence the supply and cost of housing. Housing tenure
defines if a unit is owner -occupied or renter occupied. Tenure is an important market characteristic as it
relates to the availability of housing product types and length of tenure. The tenure characteristics in a
community can indicate several aspects of the housing market, such as affordability, household stability,
and availability of unit types, among others. In many communities, tenure distribution generally
correlates with household income, composition, and age of the householder.
In 2018, owner -occupied units accounted for 56.5 percent of the Newport Beach housing stock and 43.5
percent were rentals (Table 2-27). Of the owner -occupied units, the large majority were single unit
detached homes (71.6 percent) and the smallest percentage was of mobile homes (1.1 percent). As is
often the case, multi -unit homes accounted for over half of all rentals (67.9 percent) and only 17 percent
of rental units were single unit detached homes. Mobile homes are more likely to be occupied by renters,
as the Table 2-8 shows.

To identify housing trends and potential population needs, Table 2-28 compares average household sizes
and tenure amongst the cities surrounding Newport Beach. Renters in the City have one of the lowest
average household sizes at just 2 people per home. Homeowners in Newport Beach also have the second
smallest number of people per household after Laguna Beach with 2.3 people per home. The County
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-30
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
average is 3.1 persons for rentals and 3 persons for owner -occupied homes. Figure 2-7 illustrates vacancy
rates by jurisdiction and shows that Newport Beach has the second largest percentage of vacant homes
at 15.5 percent. The City's vacancy rate is 3 times that of Orange County.
Vacancy rates indicate the degree of choice available. High vacancy rates usually indicate low demand
and/or high supply conditions in the housing market. Too high of a vacancy rate can be difficult for owners
trying to sell or rent. Low vacancy rates usually indicate high demand and/or low supply conditions in the
housing market. Too low of a vacancy rate can force prices up making it more difficult for lower and
moderate -income households to find housing. Vacancy rates of between 2 to 3 percent are usually
considered healthy for single -unit or ownership housing, and rates of 5 to 6 percent are usually considered
healthy for multi -unit or rental housing.

The most common reason for vacancies in Newport Beach is due to homes being used seasonally, or for
recreation or occasional use (48.3 percent), as shown in Table 2-29. These 3,350 homes are not
permanent residences and remain empty for most of the year. Homes for rent are the second most
common reason for vacancies in the City at 22.4 percent.

4. Housing Age and Condition
Housing age can be an indicator of housing condition within a community. For example, housing that is
over 30 years old is typically in need of some major rehabilitation, such as a new roof, foundation,
plumbing, etc. Many federal and state programs also use the age of housing as one factor in determining
housing rehabilitation needs.
In Newport Beach, most homes were built over 30 years ago (Figure 2-8). About 22.3 percent of the
housing stock was built between 1970 and 1979, while only 2.7 percent was built after 2010. Another 8
percent of homes were also built prior to 1950. This reflects an aging housing stock that may need certain
updates.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning a home in the City with
the maximum affordable housing costs for households at different income levels. Taken together, this
information can generally show who can afford what size and type of housing and indicate the type of
households most likely to experience overcrowding and overpayment.
The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) conducts annual household income
surveys nationwide to determine a household's eligibility for federal housing assistance. Based on this
survey, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) developed income
limits, based on the Area Median Family Income (AMFI), which can be used to determine the maximum
price that could be affordable to households in the upper range of their respective income category.
Households in the lower end of each category can afford less by comparison than those at the upper end.
The maximum affordable home and rental prices for residents in Orange County are shown in Table 2-32
and Table 2-33.
The data shows the maximum amount that a household can pay for housing each month without incurring
a cost burden (overpayment). This amount can be compared to current housing asking prices (Table 2-30)
and market rental rates (Table 2-31) to determine what types of housing opportunities a household can
afford.
Extremely Low-income Households
Extremely low-income households earn less than 30 percent of the County AMFI — up to $26,950 for a
one-person household and up to $41,550 for a five -person household in 2020. Extremely low-income
households cannot afford market -rate rental or ownership housing in Newport Beach without assuming
a substantial cost burden.
Very Low-income Households
Very low-income households earn between 31 percent and 50 percent of the County AMFI — up to $44,850
for a one-person household and up to $69,200 for a five -person household in 2020. A very low-income
household cannot afford market -rate rental or ownership housing in Newport Beach without assuming a
substantial cost burden. A very low-income household at the maximum income limit can afford to pay
approximately $1,121 to $1,730 in monthly rent, depending on household size. Given the high cost of
housing in the City, persons, or households of very low-income could not afford to rent or purchase a
home in the City.
Low-income Households
Low-income households earn between 51 percent and 80 percent of the County's AMFI - up to $71,750
for a one-person household and up to $110,650 for a five -person household in 2020. The affordable home
price for a low-income household at the maximum income limit ranges from $308,500 to $454,000. Based
on the asking prices of homes for sale in 2020 (Table 2-30), ownership housing would not be affordable
to low-income households. A one-person low-income household could afford to pay up to $1,794 in rent
per month and a five -person low-income household could afford to pay as much as $2,766. Low-income
households in Newport Beach would not be able to find adequately sized affordable apartment units
(Table 2-31).
Moderate income Households
Persons and households of moderate income earn between 81 percent and 120 percent of the County's
AMFI — up to $133,500, depending on household size in 2020. The maximum affordable home price for a
Section 2: Community Profile (DRAFT JUNE 30, 2021) 2-35
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
., .
moderate -income household is $377,000 for a one-person household and $558,600 for a five -person
family. Moderate income households in Newport Beach would not be able to purchase a home in the City.
The maximum affordable rent payment for moderate income households is between $2,163 and $3,338
per month. A one-person moderate -income household may be able to find some adequately sized
affordable apartment units; larger households would not be able to afford to rent a unit in the City.

HOUSING CONSTRAINTS, RESOURCES,
AND AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR
HOUSING
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
As is common in many communities, a variety of constraints affect the provisions and opportunities for
adequate housing in the City of Newport Beach. Housing constraints consist of both governmental
constraints, including but not limited to land use controls, development fees and permitting fees,
development standards, building codes and permitting processes; as well as, nongovernmental or market
constraints, including but not limited to land costs, construction costs, and availability of finances.
Combined, these factors create barriers to availability and affordability of new housing, especially for
lower and moderate -income households.
Nongovernmental constraints largelyaffectthe cost of housing in the City of Newport Beach and can
produce barriers to housing production and affordability. These constraints include the availability and
cost of land for residential development, the demand for housing, financing, and lending, construction
costs, and the availability of labor, which can make it expensive for developers to build any housing, and
especially affordable housing. The following highlights the primary market factors that affect the
production of housing in Newport Beach.
1. Land Costs and Construction Costs
Construction costs vary widely according to the type of development, with multi -unit housing generally
less expensive to construct than single -unit homes. However, there is variation within each construction
type, depending on the size of the unit and the number and quality of amenities provided. An indicator of
construction costs is Building Valuation Data compiled by the International Code Council (ICC). The
International Code Council was established in 1994 with the goal of developing a single set of national
model construction codes, known as the International Codes, or I -Codes. The ICC updates the estimated
cost of construction at six-month intervals and provides estimates for the average cost of labor and
materials for typical Type VA wood -frame housing. Estimates are based on "good -quality" construction,
providing for materials and fixtures well above the minimum required by state and local building codes.
In August 2020, the ICC estimated that the average per square -foot cost for good -quality housing was
approximately $118.57 for multi -unit housing, $131.24 for single -unit homes, and $148.44 for residential
care/assisted living facilities. Construction costs for custom homes and units with extra amenities, run
even higher. Construction costs are also dependent upon materials used and building height, as well as
regulations set by the City's adopted Building Code. For example, according to the ICC, an accessory
dwelling unit (ADU) or converting a garage using a Type VB wood framed unit would costs about $123.68
per square foot. Although construction costs are a significant portion of the overall development cost,
they are consistent throughout the region and, especially when considering land costs, are not considered
a major constraint to housing production in Newport Beach.
Land costs can also pose a significant constraint to the development of affordable and middle-income
housing and represents a significant cost component in residential development. Land costs may vary
depending on whether the site is vacant or has an existing use that must be removed. Similarly, site
constraints such as environmental issues (e.g., steep slopes, soil stability, seismic hazards, flooding) can
also be factored into the cost of land. There are approximately 6,000 acres of vacant and non -vacant
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-2
(DRAFT APRIL JUNE�30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
residential land (39.3 percent), out of approximately 15,238 acres of land in Newport Beach, which are
not currently subject to land use constraints (airport restrictions, flood zone, fire high severity zone, NCCP
conservation area, seismic hazard, and sea level rise). However, majority of the acres are developed and
may require rezoning, reuse, and redevelopment due to a lack of vacant sites in the City. Additional costs
may be associated with redeveloping and/or converting sites which may influence the cost of the rental
units or home value.
A September 2020 web search; using the Orange County Market report; for lots for sale in the City of
Newport Beach returned less than five vacant lots listed for sale. Of the lots listed, the costs ranged from
$600,000 for 0.075 acres near Santa Ana Heights (about $183 per square foot), to $4,995,000 for 0.27
acres with an ocean view (about $430 per square foot). Larger vacant lots reached as high as $9,995,000
for 0.77 acres inland (about $295 per square foot) to $10,500,000 for 0.51 acres of land (about $474 per
square foot) closer to the coast, b t Ret GGaS . According to the same report, in September coastal lots
listed for sale in the City averaged $8,000,000 for 0.6 acres. The cost of land in Newport Beach is higher
than neighboring cities, such as Laguna Beach, where the median cost of land is about $115 per square
foot. Therefore, land and redevelopment costs in Newport Beach create a significant constraint to the
development of housing, specifically affordable housing.
2. Availability Financing
The availability of financing in a community depends on several factors, including the type of lending
institutions active in a community, lending practices, rates and fees charged, laws and regulations
governing financial institutions, and equal access to such loans. Additionally, availability of financing
affects a person's ability to purchase or improve a home. Under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
(NMDA), lending institutions are required to disclose information on the disposition of loan applications
and the income, gender, and race of loan applicants. The primary concern in a review of lending activity
is to determine whether home financing is available to residents of a community. The data presented in
this section include the disposition of loan applications submitted to financial institutions for home
purchase, home improvement, and refinancing in Newport Beach.
Table 3-1 below displays the disposition of loan applications for the Anaheim -Santa Ana -Irvine
Metropolitan Statistical Area/Metropolitan Division (MSA/MD), per the 2016 Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act report. According to the data, applicants in the 120 percent median income or more had the highest
rates of loans approved. Of that income category, applicants who reported White had the highest
percentage of approval and the number of applications. Applicants in the less than 50 percent of the
MSA/MD median income categories were showed higher percentages of denied loans than loans
originated. According to the data, applicants who reported white were, on average, more likely to be
approved for a loan than another race or ethnicity.
Given the relatively high rates of approval for home purchase, improvement, and refinance loans, home
financing is generally available and not considered to be a significant constraint to the provision and
maintenance of housing in Newport Beach.

3. Economic Constraints
Market forces on the economy and the trickle-down effects on the construction industry can act as a
barrier to housing construction and especially to affordable housing construction. It is estimated that
housing price growth will continue in the City and the region for the foreseeable future. Moving into 2020,
the economy was growing, California was seeing a 1.6 -percent growth in jobs from 2019 and experiencing
all-time lows for unemployment rates. COVID-19 had stalled much of the economy in early 2020, however,
as the California economy regains momentum housing stock and prices in the Newport Beach community
remain stable.
A 2020 California Association of Realtors (CAR) report found that homes on the market in Orange County
experienced a nine percent year to year increase and cost an average of $880,000 in February 2020;
almost $300,000 higher than the State median home price in the same month ($579,770). According to
the CAR First Time Buyer Housing Affordability Index, from 2018 to 2019 the median value of a home in
Orange County was $703,800 with monthly payments (including taxes and insurance) of $3,630, requiring
an average qualifying income of $108,900.
Homes and cost of living in Newport Beach was reported higher than the State median housing and living
costs. According to September 2020 data from Zillow, the median home value of single -unit homes and
condos in Newport Beach is $2,407,454. According to Zillow's methodology, this value is seasonally
adjusted to remove outliers and only includes the middle price -tier of homes. Newport Beach home values
have gone up 0.7 percent over the past year and Zillow predicts they will rise 3.4 percent within the next
year. Newport's home value index ($2,407,454) has been on a steep and steady rise since early 2012, and
according to a September 2020 forecasts, they are expected to increase slightly (estimated $2,490,000)
in 2021. Orange County by comparison has a median home value index of $777,000, according to the
same September 2020 report, which is significantly lower than the City of Newport. Forecasted home
prices in the County, through 2021 are set to see minor increases ($810,000). The cost of land and home
prices in Newport are considered a major constraint to the development of and access to housing,
particularly the development of and access to affordable housing.
In addition to market constraints, local policies and regulations also affect the price and availability of
housing and the provision of affordable housing. For example, State and Federal regulations affect the
availability of land for housing and the cost of housing production, making it difficult to meet the demand
for affordable housing and limiting supply in a region. Regulations related to environmental protection,
building codes, and other topics have significant, often adverse, impacts on housing cost and availability.
While the City of Newport Beach has no control over State and Federal Laws that affect housing, local
laws including land use controls, site improvement requirements, fees and exactions, permit processing
procedures, and other factors can constrain the maintenance, development, and improvement of housing
create barriers to housing.

1. Land Use Controls
In the State of California, cities are required to prepare a comprehensive, long term General Plan to guide
future development. The Land Use Element of the General Plan establishes land uses of developments
within the City of Newport Beach. The Land Use Element sets for policies and regulations for guiding local
development. These policies, together with existing zoning regulations, establish the amount and
distribution of land to be allocated for different uses within the City. The Land Use Element of the General
Plan identifies the following residential and mixed-use categories:
+ Single Unit Residential Detached (RS -D): The RS -D category applies to a range of detached single -unit
residential dwelling units on a single legal lot and does not include condominiums or cooperative
housing. The RS -D category permits a density range from 0.0 to 29.9 DU/AC.
+ Single Unit Residential Attached (RS -A): The RS -A category applies to a range of attached single -unit
residential dwelling units on a single legal lot and does not include condominiums or cooperative
housing. The RS -A category permits a density range from 0.0 to 29.9 DU/AC.
+ Two Unit Residential (RT): The RT category applies to a range of two -unit residential dwelling units such
as duplexes and townhomes. The RT permits a density range from 0.0 to 39.9 DU/AC.
+ Multiple Residential (RM): The RM designation is intended to provide for multi -unit residential
development containing attached dwelling units The RM permits a density range from 0.0 to 52.0
D U/AC.
+ Multiple Residential Detached (RM -D): The RM -D designation is intended to provide primarily for multi-
unit residential development exclusively containing detached dwelling units. The RM -D allows a 1.5 FAR
where a minimum FAR 0.35 and maximum FAR if .5 may be used for nonresidential.
+ Mixed -Use Vertical (MU -V): The MU -V designation is intended to provide for the development of
properties for mixed use structures that vertically integrate housing with retail uses including retail,
office, restaurant, and similar nonresidential uses. For mixed-use structures, commercial uses
characterized by noise, vibration, odors, or other activities that would adversely impact on-site
residential units are prohibited. The MU -V allows a 1.5 FAR where a minimum FAR 0.35 and maximum
FAR of .5 may be used for nonresidential.
+ Mixed -Use Horizontal (MU -HI: The MU -H designation is intended to provide for the development of
areas for a horizontally distributed mix of uses, which may include general or neighborhood commercial,
commercial office, multi -unit residential, visitor -serving and marine -related uses, and/or buildings that
vertically integrate residential with commercial uses. The MU -H allows a maximum FAR of 1.0 for
residential.
+ Mixed -Use Water Related (MU -W): The MU -W designation is intended to provide for commercial
development on or near the bay in a manner that will encourage the continuation of coastal -dependent
and coastal -related uses in accordance with the Recreational and Marine Commercial (CM) designation,
as well as allow for the integrated development of residential. The MU -W permits a density range from
0.0 to 29.9 DU/AC.

These categories accommodate development of a wide range of housing types in Newport Beach.
Furthermore, maintaining the existing residential categories is important for ensuring compatibility
between the new and existing housing.
Local Coastal Program and Land Use Plan
The Local Coastal Program (LCP) is a coastal management plan that contains land use, development, public
access, and resource protection policies and regulation to implement the California Coastal Act (Coastal
Act). The LCP is comprised of a Land Use Plan (LUP) and an Implementation Plan (IP). The LUP serves in
conjunction with, and is considered a legislative equivalent to, the City's General Plan Land Use Element
to identify land uses in the Coastal Zone. The intent of this plan is to provide for land uses and residential
density limits that protect coastal resources and public access. The LUP identifies the residential
categories and densities provided in Table 3-2.

The Coastal Act is administered by the California Coastal Commission. Over 63 percent of the City of
Newport Beach is within the Coastal Zone and subject to oversight by the Coastal. Although the City
retains permit authority in most of the Coastal Zone, development projects located near sensitive coastal

resources, such as the bay, ocean, wetlands, and environmentally sensitive habitat areas, require the
processing of coastal development permits and are subject to appeal by the California Coastal
Commission. This additional level of review and approval process may extend the review period of
development projects and increase the application and discretionary review costs. In addition, any
request to increase residential densities or allow new residential housing opportunities requires the
processing of a Local Coastal Program amendment through the California Coastal Commission. An
illustrative example is the Master Development Plan for Banning Ranch, a housing development project
that included 1,375 dwelling units, including an affordable housing component, that was adopted by the
City in 2012, but denied by the California Coastal Commission in 2016 components but due to potential
impacts to environmentally sensitive habitats and coastal resources. The Coastal Land Use Plan and
Coastal Commission's additional review may inhibit development due to the added review time and costs,
and uncertainty of approvals.
John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP)
The City's Airport Area may be considered as an opportunity zone to add residential neighborhoods.
However, land located within the Airport Planning Area for John Wayne Airport are subject to the
development restrictions of the John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP), which limits the
ability to develop residential units. Approximately 391 acres are subject to these residential restrictions.
An amendment to the City's General Plan or rezoning for residential use requires review and approval by
the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and extends the total review period of a proposed housing
development and subsequently increases the cost of development. The added review time and additional
costs may dissuade housing developers, and particularly affordable housing developers, from developing
housing in this area.
Overlay Districts
An overlay district is a regulatory tool that adds special provisions and regulations to an area in the City.
An overlay district may be added to a neighborhood or corridor on a map or it may apply to the City as
whole and be applied under certain circumstances. An overlay district may be initiated as a Zoning Map
amendment. All proposed developments within the overlay district must comply with the district's
applicable development standards in addition to the Zoning Code standards. Overlay Districts which affect
housing in Newport Beach include the Mobile Home Park (MHP) Overlay Zoning District, Bluff Overlay
Zoning District, and the Height Overlay District. Overlay Districts may be a constraint to the development
of housing when it sets standards which are more restrictive than the Zoning Code.
Overlav Coastal Districts
The purposes of the individual overlay coastal zoning districts and the way they are applied are detailed
below. An overlay district may be initiated as a Coastal Zoning Map amendment in compliance with
Chapter 21.14 of the City's Municipal Code. All development within these zones must comply with the
applicable development standards (e.g., setbacks, height) of the underlying coastal zoning district in
addition to the standards provided by the respective zone as outline in the Municipal Code, where
applicable.

Mobile Home Park Overlay Coastal Zoning District
The MHP Overlay Coastal Zoning District is intended to establish a mobile home district on parcels of land
developed with mobile home parks. The regulations of this district are designed to maintain and protect
mobile home parks in a stable environment with a desirable residential character. However, such
regulations may pose a constraint to the redevelopment of existing mobile home parks and increasing
density. Uses allowed in the MHP Overlay include the following:
+ Mobile Home Parks
+ Accessory Structures incidental to the operation of Mobile Home Parks
Bluff Overlay District
The Bluff (B) Overlay District is intended to establish special development standards for areas of the City
where projects are proposed on identified bluff areas. The Bluff Overlay District intends to provide
additional regulations and requirements in order to establish safety standards for developments in the
overlay District. Specific permitted uses, development standards, and requirements are outlined in the
City's Municipal Code, Chapter 21.28.040. Additional regulations and development standards may
prevent increased density or intensity in areas within the Bluff Overlay District.
Canyon Overlay District
The Canyon (C) Overlay District is intended to establish development setbacks based on the predominant
line of existing development for areas that contain a segment of the canyon edge of Buck Gully or Morning
Canyon. In order to ensure safe development of housing within the Canyon Overlay Districts, development
standards and requirements include the following:
+ Development Stringline Setback: Development may not extend beyond the predominant line of
existing development on canyon faces by establishing a development stringline where a line is drawn
between nearest adjacent corners of existing structures on either side of the subject property.
+ Swimming Pools require a double wall construction
+ Coastal Hazards and Geologic Stability Report
+ Erosion Control Plan
Additional specific development standards and requirements are outlined in the City's Municipal Code,
Chapter 21.28.050. The Canyon Overlay District may inhibit added density or intensity of uses to
residential properties within the overlay.
Height Overlay
The Height (H) Overlay District is intended to establish standards for review of increased building height
in conjunction with the provision of enhanced project design features and amenities. The
Height Overlay District includes properties located in the Multiple Residential (RM) Zoning District within
Statistical Area A2. The maximum height limit is 40 feet for a flat roof and 45 feet for a sloped roof with a
three-story maximum. Additional standards, regulations, and eligibility requirements are outline the in
the City's Municipal Code, Chapter 21.28.060. The Height Overlay District is not considered a constraint
to development as it provides for higher height limits.

State Density Bonus Law
Density bonuses are an additional way to increase the number of dwelling units otherwise allowed in a
residentially zoned area. The City's Zoning Ordinance identifies the purpose of the Density Bonus
Ordinance is to grant density bonuses and incentives for the development of housing that is affordable to
very low-, low-, and moderate -income households and senior citizens. Under the Density Bonus Law,
developers are entitled to a density bonus corresponding to specified percentages of units set aside for
very low income, low-income, or moderate -income households.
Effective January 1, 2021, California State Assembly Bill 2345 amends the Density Bonus Law to expand
and enhance development incentives for projects with affordable and senior housing components. AB
2345 amends the Density Bonus Law to increase the maximum density bonus from 35 percent to 50
percent. To be eligible for the maximum bonus, a project must set aside at least (i) 15 percent of total
units for very low income households, (ii) 24 percent of total units for low income households, or (iii) 44
percent of for -sale units for moderate income households. Levels of bonus density between 35 percent
and 50 percent are granted on a sliding scale. The City's currently adopted Density Bonus Ordinance is no
longer consistent with State law and must be amended to comply with new statutory requirement.
Implementing Action 3.1.2 of the Section 4: Housing Plan outlines the City's plan to maintain compliance
with State legislation.
nAncifii Rnnuc Prnrrram z
The currently adopted density bonuses are eligible for developments which contain five or more dwelling
units and meet the requirements outlined in Chapter 20.32 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Units
which are not eligible for density bonus include developments where affordable housing is required under
the provisions of Title 19.
When a development which meets the requirements, density bonuses are applicable as shown in Table
3-3 and Table 3-4 below for different income categories. Developments which meet the requirements for
Senior housing will be entitled to a density bonus of twenty percent of the number of senior housing units.

Additionally, when an applicant for a residential development agrees to donate land to the City for very
low-income households, the applicant is then entitled to a density bonus for the entire market rate
development, if the conditions specified in the City's Municipal Code Section 20.32.030 are met.
An applicant is entitled to an increase above the maximum allowed residential density as outline in Table

Additional regulations for density Bonuses include the following:
+ Fractional Units: The calculation of a density bonus, in compliance with any of the above requirements,
that results in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
+ Mixed Income Development: If the applicant desires to develop a density bonus project available to a
mix of income levels, the Director determines the amount of density bonus to be granted up to a
maximum of 35 percent.
Concessions and Incentives
When qualified for a density bonus, an applicant may request additional parking incentives beyond those
provided above. When requested, the City may grant the following (inclusive of handicap and guest
parking):
+ Zero to one bedroom: one on-site parking space per unit; or
+ Two or more bedrooms: two on-site parking spaces per unit.

In addition to a request for parking incentives, an applicant who meets the density bonus requirements
may also submit a proposal for a reduction in the site development standards or architectural design
requirements; approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing development; other
regulatory incentive proposed by the client or the City that will result in identifiable, financially sufficient,
and actual cost reductions; and/or a direct financial contribution granted by the Council at its sole
discretion.
Additional Incentives may also apply for developments with a childcare component, requirements and
applicable incentives are outlines in detailed in the City's Municipal Code Section 20.32.060. Incentives
and density bonuses allow for increased opportunity and feasibility for the production of affordable
housing in a community, the City of Newport Beach's Incentives and Density Bonus programs are
comparable to similar Southern California communities and are a constraint to the development of
housing for all income levels.
Residential Development Standards
Citywide, outside the specific plan areas, the City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of
residential development primarily through the Zoning Code. The following summarizes the City's existing
residential zoning districts:
+ Residential -Agricultural (R -A) — Residential -Agricultural is intended to provide for single lots
appropriate for detached single -unit residential dwelling units and light farming.
+ Single -Unit Residential (R-1) — Single -Unit Residential is intended to provide for a range of detached
single -unit residential dwelling units on single lots. This land use designation does not include
condominiums or cooperative housing.
+ Two -Unit Residential, Balboa Island (R -BI) — Two -Unit Residential Balboa Island is intended to provide
for a maximum of two residential dwelling units, or duplexes. This is designation is reserved to single
lots on Balboa Island.
+ Two -Unit Residential (R-2) — Two -Unit Residential is intended to provide for single lots appropriate for
a maximum of two residential dwelling units, or duplexes.
+ Multiple Residential (RM) — Multiple Residential is intended to provide for area appropriate for multi-
unit residential developments containing attached or detached dwelling units.
+ Medium Density Residential (RMD) — Medium Density Residential is intended to provide for areas
appropriate for medium density residential developments containing attached or detached units.
+ Mixed -Use Vertical (MU -V) — Mixed -Use Vertical is intended to provide for area appropriate for the
development of mixed-use structures that vertically include residential dwelling units. Residential
dwelling units are located above the ground floor, which includes office, restaurant, retail, and similar
nonresidential uses.
+ Mixed -Use Mariners' Mile (MU -MM) — Mixed -Use Mariners' Mile is intended to provide for areas
appropriate for commercial and residential uses. Mariners' Mile is located on the inland side of Coast
Highway in the Mariners' Mile Corridor. Properties that front Coast Highway may only be developed for
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-13

nonresidential purposes. Properties to the rear of the commercial frontage may be developed for
freestanding nonresidential uses, multi -unit residential dwelling units, or mixed-use structures that
integrate residential above the ground floor with nonresidential uses on the ground floor.
+ Mixed -Use Cannery Village and 151h Street (MU-CV/15th St.) — Mixed -Use Cannery Village and 15th
Street is intended to establish a cohesive district or neighborhood containing multi -unit residential
dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of Cannery
Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses include multi -unity dwelling units;
nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is restricted to nonresidential
uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight accommodations are allowed above the
ground floor and to the rear of uses along the street frontage. Mixed -Use or nonresidential structures
are required on lots at street intersections and are allowed, but not required, on other lots.
+ Mixed -Use Water (MU -W1) — Mixed -Use Water is intended to be applied to waterfront properties along
the Mariners' Mile Corridor in which nonresidential uses and residential dwelling units may be
intermixed. A minimum of 50 percent of the allowed square footage in a mixed-use development shall
be used for nonresidential uses in which marine -related and victor -serving land uses are mixed. An
approved site development review is required prior to any development to ensure uses are fully
integrated and that potential impacts from their differing activities are fully mitigated. Design of
nonresidential space to facilitate marine -related uses is encouraged.
+ Mixed -Use Water (MU -W2) — This second Mixed -Use Water designation is intended to apply to
waterfront properties in which marine -related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor -
related commercial and residential dwelling units on the upper floors.
The City's Zoning Code also regulates the development on land through minimum and maximum
standards on lot size, lot width and depth, setbacks, and on lot coverage and floor -area ratio (FAR). Table

Yards allow for open space, landscaping and greenery, emergency access, and pedestrian and vehicular
circulation on a site. Requirements are set in order to ensure there is adequate available space designated
to these elements on a property when considering new development or improvements. Included in these

requirements are setbacks areas that are located between a setback line and the property line and must
remain unobstructed. Setbacks provide the following:
+ Visibility and traffic safety
+ Access to and around structures
+ Access to natural light and ventilation
+ Separation of incompatible land uses
+ Space for privacy, landscaping, and recreation
+ Protection of natural resources
+ Safety from fire and geologic hazard
The City's yard requirements do not prohibit residential developments from reaching the maximum
density on varying lands/sites, it therefore is not a constraint to the development of housing, specifically
housing affordable to low and very low-income households. Additionally, the City's Density Bonus
programs provides incentives for the development of affordable housing, including a reduction in the site
development standards (e.g., site coverage, setbacks, increased height up to the maximum allowed,
reduced lot sizes, and/or parking requirements.
Site Coverage and Floor Area Limit
Site coverage and Floor Area Limit (FAL) requirements maintain mass and intensity of a use for residential
uses. The Newport Beach Zoning Code defines site coverage as the percentage of a site covered by
structures and accessory structures, as well as decks that exceed 30 inches in height. Maximum site
coverage standards limit the footprint of a building and calculates it as a percentage between the ground
floor area of a building and the net area of a lot.
The FAL refers to the gross floor area allowed on a residential lot and is determined by multiplying the
allowed buildable area of the lot times the applicable multiplier for the lot. FAL requirements limit the
total usable floor area to limit the bulk of a building to the land, other buildings, and public facilities.
fiAnw;m►im Q#t;1r4inn 14n;rvh
Maximum building heights are set and defined in the City's Zoning Code to maintain symmetry and
compatibility between existing and proposed developments. The height is measured as the vertical
distance from the grade of the pad to the highest part of the structure, including protective guardrails and
parapet walls. The height limit may be increased within specific areas through the adoption of a Planned
Community Development, a specific plan, a planned development permit, a coastal development permit
in the coastal zone, or a site development review. The deviation in maximum height limit requires
approval of a discretionary action.
+ R -A, R-1, R -BI, and R-2 Zoning Districts have height limits of 24 feet for structures with flat roofs
(including guard rails and parapet walls) and 29 feet for sloped roofs. A discretionary approval may
permit height up to 28 feet for flat roofs and 33 feet for sloped roofs.
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-17
(DRAFT APRIL JUNE�30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
+ RM and RMD Zoning Districts have height limits of 28 feet for structures with flat roofs and 33 feet for
sloped roofs. The height of the structure may be increased to 32 feet for foot roof and 37 feet for
sloped roofs through discretionary approval. Properties located in the Height (H) Overlay District may
increase height limits to 40 feet for flat roofs and 45 feet for sloped roofs.
+ Planned Community Districts may also propose and regulate their own height limits.
The City's building height requirements do not prohibit residential developments from reaching the

The City's Zoning Code defines Usable Open Space as an outdoor or enclosed area on the ground, roof,
balcony, deck, porch, or terrace, used for outdoor living, active or passive recreation, pedestrian access,
or landscaping. This does not include parking facilities, driveways, utility, or service areas, required
setbacks, and sloped or submerged land. All residential districts in Newport Beach have a maximum site
coverage to allow for open space. Mixed -Use districts require 75 square feet per dwelling unit of common
open space and 5 percent of the gross floor area of private open space for each unit.
The City's usable open spaces requirements do not prohibit residential developments from reaching the
maximum density on varying lands/sites, it therefore is not a constraint to the development of housing,

Parkina Standard,
Adequate off-street parking shall be provided to avoid street overcrowding and maintain parking
opportunities for the public to visit the coast. This is maintained through the City's parking requirements
for each housing unit type, as shown in Table 3-7. Parking requirements may add to the development cost
of a property and project as spaces and garage parking create additional costs and remove potentially
livable space.

Housing Element Law requires jurisdictions to identify sites to be made available through zoning and
development standards in order to facilitate development of a variety of housing types for all
socioeconomic levels of the population. Housing types include single -unit dwellings, multi -unit housing,
accessory dwelling units, factory -built housing, mobile homes, employee and agricultural work housing,
transitional and supportive housing, single -room occupancy units (SROs), and housing for persons with
disabilities. Table 3-8 below identifies the various housing types permitted within each residential and

FarmwnrkPr 14n►►sinr-
Farmworkers are considered a special needs interest group by HCD. Farmworkers are traditionally defined
as people whose primary incomes are earned through permanent or seasonal agricultural labor.
Farmworkers are generally considered to have special housing needs due to their limited income and the
often -unstable nature of their employment. In addition, farmworker households tend to have high rates
of poverty, live disproportionately in housing that is in the poorest condition, have extremely high rates
of overcrowding, and have low homeownership rates. There is a total of 1,772 farmworkers in the County
of Orange, though few may reside in Newport Beach the City must consider the housing needs of this
community. The Newport Beach Municipal Code does not explicitly define Farmworker Housing or outline
it as a permitted use in residential or nonresidential zones. Policy Action 30 of the Section 4: Housing
Plan outlines the City's strategy to update the Municipal Code in accordance with state legislation.
Supportive Housinq
California State Assembly Bill 2162 amended Section 65583, Planning and zoning law to specify that
supportive housing is a residential use of property, subject only to those restrictions that apply to other
residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. The City of Newport Beach's Municipal Code does
not explicitly define Supportive Housing or identify zones where is it is a permitted use. Policy Action 713
of the Section 4: Housing Plan outlines the City's strategy to update the Municipal Code in accordance
with state legislation.
Transitional Housing
The City of Newport Beach defines Transitional Housing as rental housing operating under program
requirements that call for the termination of assistance and recirculation of the assisted unit to another
eligible program recipient program at some predetermined future point in time, which shall be no less
than six months. Transitional housing that is provided in single-, two- or multi -unit dwelling units, group
residential, parolee -probationer home, residential care facilities, or boarding house uses shall be
permitted, conditionally permitted or prohibited in the same manner as the other single-, two-, or multi-
unit dwelling units, group residential, parolee -probationer home, residential care facilities, or boarding
house uses under this code.

State Law existing law authorizes a political subdivision to allow persons unable to obtain housing to
occupy designated public facilities, as defined, during the period of a shelter crisis. Existing law provides
that certain state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances are suspended during a shelter crisis, to the
extent that strict compliance would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of
the shelter crisis. The City of Newport beach permits Emergency shelters in the OA — Office Airport zoning
district and the PI — Private Institutions Coastal zoning district.
Properties designated for PI are distributed throughout the City, but primarily located along major
transportation corridors and offer easy access to public transportation. The PI zoning district is intended
to provide for areas appropriate for privately owned facilities that serve the public, including places for
assembly/meeting facilities (e.g., religious assembly), congregate care homes, cultural institutions, health
care facilities, marinas, museums, private schools, yacht clubs, and comparable facilities. There are over
44 parcels totaling approximately 135 acres in the proposed PI zoning district. Several of the existing uses
on these properties are religious assembly uses, many of which consist of large campuses. Given the high
land costs in the City, these religious assembly facilities could provide the best means to facilitate the
development and management of emergency shelters in the City.
Additionally, properties designated for OA are located within three large blocks east of John Wayne
Airport, west of Birch Street, north of Bristol Street/73 Freeway, and south of MacArthur Boulevard. These
properties are also located along major transportation corridors and offer easy access to public
transportation. The AO zoning district is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development
of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations.
These may include corporate and professional offices; automobile sales, rental and service; aviation sales
and service; hotels; and accessory retail, restaurant, and service uses. There are over 56 parcels totaling
approximately 54 acres in the AO zoning district. Several of the existing uses on these properties are low
and medium density professional office buildings, many of which are aging and offer affordable rents
compared to most other parts of the City. These properties should provide realistic opportunities for reuse
of these structures for the development and management of emergency shelters in the City. Combined,
the PI and AO zoning districts consist of over 98 parcels and 189 acres. By allowing emergency shelters as
permitted uses within these districts, adequate sites are available for the potential development of
emergency shelters in the City.

Centers are required as a use by right in areas zoned for mixed uses and nonresidential zones permitting
multi -unit uses if it meets specified requirements. The City of Newport Beach's Municipal Code does not
address Low Barrier Navigations Centers by definition. A program will be adopted to ensure the City's
development standards allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers By -Right in all zones that permit mixed -uses
and non-residential uses. Policy Action 7A of the Section 4: Housing Plan outlines the City's strategy to
update the Municipal Code in accordance with state legislation.
The Planned Community (PC) District is intended allow for a coordinated variety of uses and allows
projects to benefit from large-scale community building. PC Districts allow for greater flexibility and less
restrictive development regulations, while also maintaining compliance with the intent and provisions of
the Zoning Code. The Newport Beach Municipal Code states that a PC District may include various types
of uses given they are consistent with the General Plan through the adoption of a development plan and
text materials that identify land use relationships and associated development standards.
PC Districts allow for large scale housing projects on land areas no less than 25 acres of unimproved land
area or 10 acres of improved land area; however, the City Council may waive the minimum acreage
requirements. Improved land area refers to parcels of land with existing permanent structures occupying
at least 10 percent of the total PC District. The subject property must be reclassified as a PC District and a
Development Plan must be filed with the City to initiate the development process. The Development
Plans are reviewed by the Director, scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Commission for a
recommendation, and approved by the City Council. A Planned Community District must also go through
an environmental review.
The Development Plan must contain:
+ A land use map containing the distribution, location, and extent of uses proposed
+ Land use tables designating permitted uses
+ Development standards
+ Protection measures for landforms and public views
+ Sustainable improvement standards
+ Location and extent of essential facilities including circulation and transportation, drainage, energy,
sewage and waste disposal, and water

Growth Management Measures
Growth management measures are techniques used by a government to regulate the rate, amount, and
type of development. Growth management measures allow cities to grow responsibly and orderly,
however, if overly restricted can produce constraints to the development of housing, including accessible
and affordable housing.
On November 7, 2000, the Newport Beach electorate approved Measure S. Measure S amended the
Newport Beach City Charter by adding Section 423, which requires voter approval of certain amendments
of the Newport Beach General Plan. Meaning, an amendment shall not take effect unless it has been
submitted to the voters and approved by a majority of those voting on it. Charter Section 423 encourages
the City Council to adopt implementing guidelines that are consistent with its purpose and intent. In the
case of Charter Section 423, an amendment to the General Plan is defined as any proposed amendment
of the General Plan that is first considered and/ or approved by the City Council subsequent to December
15, 2000 and that increases the number of peak hour trips (traffic), floor area (intensity), or dwelling units
(density) when compared to the General Plan prior to approval.
Procedure
The City Council determines if an amendment requires voter approval pursuant to Section 423, based on
the following conditions:
+ The Amendment modifies the allowed use(s) of the property or area that is the subject of the
Amendment such that the proposed use(s) generate(s) more than one hundred morning or evening
peak hour trips than are generated by the allowed use(s) before the Amendment; or
+ The Amendment authorizes an increase in floor area for the property or area that is the subject of the
Amendment that exceeds forty thousand (40,000) square feet when compared to the General Plan
before approval of the Amendment; or
+ The Amendment authorizes an increase in the number of dwelling units for the property or area that is
the subject of the Amendment that exceeds one hundred ( 100) dwelling units when compared to the
General Plan before approval of the Amendment; or
+ The increase in morning or evening peak hour trips, floor area or dwelling units resulting from the
Amendment when added to eighty percent (80%) of the increases in morning or evening peak hour
trips, floor area or dwelling units resulting from Prior Amendments ( see definition in Section ( 2)J
exceeds one or more of the voter approval thresholds in Section 423 as specified in Subsection 1, 2 or
3.
If the City Council determines that the Amendment requires voter approval, the City Council then adopts
a resolution calling an election on the Amendment. The City Council schedules the election on the
Amendment at the next regular municipal election (as specified by the City Charter) or at a special election
if the City and the proponent of the Amendment have entered into a written agreement to share the costs
of the special election. The City Attorney then prepares an impartial analysis of the Amendment which

(DRAFT APRIL JUNEAjurle 30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
contains information about the Amendment, any related project or land use approval, and the
environmental analysis conducted of the Amendment that will help the electorate make an informed
decision on the Amendment. In the absence of an ordinance or Charter provision that establishes a
procedure for submittal of arguments or rebuttals relative to City measures, the City Council will adopt a
resolution that authorizes the filing of arguments and rebuttals in accordance with the general procedures
specified in the Elections Code.
Charter Section 423 restricts growth throughout the community as it may discourage housing
development projects, and particularly affordable housing projects. Projects subject to Charter Section
423 may require significant capital investment which may yield uncertain election results.
Short -Term Lodging Ordinance
Short-term lodging refers to the rental and leasine of a dwelline unit to a single household for less than
30 consecutive days. Short-term lodging is predominantly used by tourists to the City and the homeowner
may or may not reside on the property.
The Citv of Newport Beach adopted Ordinance 2020-15 on July 15. 2020. which set permitting regulations
for short-term lodging throughout Newport Beach. The Ordinance allows short-term lodging in all
residential districts in the City with the approval of a permit and related fees. Ordinance 2020-15 is not
considered a constraint to housing in the City as the intent is to control short-term lodging and collect
Transient Occupancv Tax. The Citv provides information online for interested homeowners. Freauently

Specific Plans
The purpose of a Specific Plan is to implement the goals and objectives of a city's General Plan in a more
focused and detailed manner that is area and project specific. The Specific Plan promotes consistence and
an enhanced aesthetic level throughout the project community. Specific Plans contain their own
development standards and requirements that may be more restrictive than those defined for the city as
a whole.
Santa Ana Heights
The Santa Ana Heights Community is located to the north of Newport Beach between East Side Costa
Mesa and the Upper Newport Bay. The area was previously within County of Orange's permitting
jurisdiction and the redevelopment project area was designated to eliminate blight. The land has since
been annexed into Newport Beach. The principal objectives of the Santa Ana Heights Specific Plan include:
+ Encourage the upgrading of existing residential neighborhoods and business development areas
+ Ensure well-planned business park and commercial developments which are adequately buffered from
adjacent residential neighborhoods
+ Encourage the consolidation of smaller contiguous lots in the business park area
+ Ensure that business park and residential traffic are separated to the maximum extent possible, while
minimizing impact upon existing parcels

Housing for Persons with Disabilities
Both the Federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act direct local
governments to make reasonable accommodations (that is, modifications or exceptions) to their zoning
laws and other land use regulations when such accommodations may be necessary to afford disabled
persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.
The Housing Element Update must also include programs that remove constraints or provide reasonable
accommodations for housing designed for persons with disabilities. The analysis of constraints must touch
upon each of three general categories: 1) zoning/land use; 2) permit and processing procedures; and 3)
building codes and other factors, including design, location and discrimination, which could limit the
availability of housing for disabled persons.
Reasonable Accommodation,
Reasonable accommodation in the land use and zoning context means providing individuals with
disabilities or developers of housing for people with disabilities, flexibility in the application of land use
and zoning and building regulations, policies, practices and procedures, or even waiving certain
requirements, when it is necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities. For example, it may be
reasonable to accommodate requests from persons with disabilities to waive a setback requirement or
other standard of the Zoning Code to ensure that homes are accessible for the mobility impaired. Whether
a particular modification is reasonable depends on the circumstances.
The Reasonable Accommodation Chapter of the City's Municipal Code provides a procedure and sets
standards for disabled persons seeking a reasonable accommodation in the provision of housing and is
intended to comply with federal and state fair housing laws. According to the Reasonable Accommodation
Chapter of the City's Municipal Code, a request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any
person with a disability, their representative, or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with a
disability, and a reasonable accommodation may be approved only for the benefit of one or more
individuals with a disability. Once an applicant requests reasonable accommodation via all appropriate
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-30
(DRAFT APRIL JUNEAk+% 30, 2021)

forms and submittals (as outline in Chapter 20.25.070 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code), the
following actions may be taken by the Hearing Office:
+ The Hearing Officer shall issue a written determination to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a
request for reasonable accommodation, and the associated modification or revocation.
+ The reasonable accommodation request shall be heard with, and subject to, the notice, review,
approval, call for review, and appeal procedures identified for any other discretionary permit.
+ On review the Council may sustain, reverse, or modify the decision of the Hearing Officer or remand the
matter for further consideration, which remand shall include specific issues to be considered or a
direction for a de novo hearing.
The written decision to approve or deny a request for reasonable accommodation must be consistent
with all the applicable Federal and State laws and is be based on consideration of the following findings,
all of which are required for approval, the requested accommodation:
+ Is requested by or on the behalf of one or more individuals with a disability protected under the Fair
Housing Laws.
+ Is necessary to provide one or more individuals with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy
a dwelling.
+ Will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City as "undue financial or
administrative burden" is defined in Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law.
+ Will not result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a City program, as "fundamental alteration"
is defined in Fair Housing Laws and interpretive case law; and
+ Will not, under the specific facts of the case, result in a direct threat to the health or safety of other
individuals or substantial physical damage to the property of others.
In making determinization for a request for reasonable accommodation, the hearing officer may consider
a variety of factors; factors for consideration by the hearing officer are listed (but limited to) in Chapter
20.52.070 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. Reasonable accommodation generates practical
opportunity and increased feasibility for the creation of accessible housing and the Newport Beach's City
process is not considered a constraint to the development of housing for all persons.
Definition of Family
A restrictive definition of "family" that limits the number of unrelated persons and differentiates between
related and unrelated individuals living together is inconsistent with the right of privacy established by
the California Constitution. The City's Municipal Code defines "family" as one or more persons living
together as a single housekeeping unit in a dwelling unit. The Code also defines a single housekeeping unit
as the functional equivalent of a traditional family, whose members are an interactive group of persons
jointly occupying a single dwelling unit, including the joint use of and responsibility for common areas,
and sharing household activities and responsibilities (e.g., meals, chores, household maintenance,
expenses, etc.) and where, if the unit is rented, all adult residents have chosen to jointly occupy the entire
premises of the dwelling unit, under a single written lease with joint use and responsibility for the

premises, and the makeup of the household occupying the unit is determined by the residents of the unit
rather than the landlord or property manager. The City's definition of family does not limit the number of
unrelated persons living together, however the definition for single housekeeping unit, as it relates to
family, may require an update by the City as it considers a unit the equivalent to a traditional family.
Development Fees
Residential developers are subject to a variety of permitting, development, and impact fees in order to
access services and facilities as allowed by State law. The additional cost to develop, maintain, and
improve housing due to development fees result in increased housing unit cost, and therefore is generally
considered a constraint to housing development. However, fees are necessary to provide planning and
public services in Newport Beach.
The location of projects and housing type result in varying degrees of development fees. The presumed
total cost of development is also contingent on the project meeting city policies and regulations and the
circumstances involved in a particular development project application. Table 3-10 provides the planning
and land use fees assessed by City of Newport Beach and Table 3-11 provides the engineering and
development services fees required for development projects. All fees are available on the City's website
in compliance with (GC 65940.1(a)(1)(A)).
Estimated total development and impact fees for a typical single -unit residential project, assuming it is
not part of a subdivision and is consistent with existing city policies and regulations can range from
$41363,304 to $4368,304. Estimated total development and Impact fees for a typical multi -unit
residential project with ten units, assuming it is consistent with existing City policies and regulations range
from $30429,600 to $316,236434,600.
These estimates are illustrative in nature and that actual costs are contingent upon unique circumstance
inherent in individual development project applications. Considering the high cost of land in Newport, and
the International Code Council (ICC) estimates for cost of labor and materials, the combined costs of
permits and fees range from approximately 4412.5 percent to 44413.5 percent of the direct cost of
development for a single -unit residential project and 1-.449.6 percent to 4-59.3 percent for a multi -unit
residential project. Direct costs do not include, landscaping, connection fees, on/off-site improvements,
shell construction or amenities, therefore the percentage of development and impact fees charged by the
City may be smaller if all direct and indirect costs are included.

On -/Off -Site Improvements
Site improvements in the City consist of those typically associated with development for on-site
improvements (street frontage improvements, curbs, gutters, sewer/water, and sidewalks), and off-site
improvements caused by project impacts (drainage, parks, traffic, schools, and sewer/water). Thus, these
are costs that may influence the sale or rental price of housing. Because residential development cannot
take place without the addition of adequate infrastructure, site improvement requirements are
considered a regular component of development of housing within the City. Majority of cost associated

The City's construction codes are based upon the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 that includes the
California Administrative Code, Building Code, Residential Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code,
Plumbing Code, Energy Code, Historical Building Code, Fire Code, Existing Building Code, Green Building
Standards Code, and California Referenced Standards Code. They are the minimum necessary to protect
the public health, safety and welfare of the City's residents. In compliance with State law, the California
Building Standards Code is revised and updated every three (3) years. The newest edition of the California
Building Standards Code is the 2019 edition with an effective date of January 1, 2020. The City strives to
provide reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities in the enforcement of building codes and
the issuance of building permits. —The City has not made any building code or code enforcement
amendments in the oast 8 vears which directiv affect or potentially hider the development of housinE in
Newport Beach.
Code enforcement is conducted by the City and is based on systematic enforcement in areas of concern
and on a complaint basis throughout the city. The Code Enforcement Division works with property owners
and renters to assist in meeting state health and safety codes. The Code Compliance Department
investigates complaints regarding violations of the Newport Beach Municipal Codes. The following are
frequent enforcement items:
+ Hazardous property conditions
+ Overgrown vegetation
+ Housing Code violations (broken windows, peeling paint)
+ Inoperable and abandoned vehicles on private property
+ Signs, including signs in public right-of-way and signs without permits
+ Solid Waste (early set -out of containers, inadequate containers, illegal dumping)
+ Water quality and conservation
+ Zoning requirements, (i.e. illegal dwelling units and use requirements)

Local Processing and Permit Procedures
The processing time needed to obtain development permits and required approvals is commonly cited by
the development community as a prime contributor to the high cost of housing. Depending on the
magnitude and complexity of the development proposal, the time that elapses from application submittal
to project approval may vary considerably. Factors that can affect the length of development review on a
proposed project include the completeness of the development application and the responsiveness of
developers to staff comments and requests for information. Approval times are substantially lengthened
for projects that are not exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), require rezoning
or general plan amendments, encounter community opposition, or are appealed to or require approval
from the Coastal Commission. Applicants for all permits or reviews are recommended to request a
preapplication conference with the respective department to achieve the following:
+ Inform the applicant of City requirements as they apply to the proposed project.
+ Review the City's review process, possible project alternatives or revisions; and
+ Identify information and materials the City will require with the application, and any necessary technical
studies and information relating to the environmental review of the project
All applicable fees related to permits and reviews are established by the City Council and can be found in
the City's Master fee schedule (Tables 3-10 and 3-11). All applications are first reviewed for completeness,
discretionary applications require the respective department to provides a written report and
recommendation, applications are then subject to review by the appropriate authority. Table 3-13 below
identifies the review authority responsible for reviewing and making decisions on each type of application
required by the Newport Beach Zoning Code. Permit review procedures for residential developments in
the City of Newport Beach are outlined below.

The purpose and intend of Conditional Use Permits in residential zoning districts, as identified by the
Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.52.030, is to promote the public health, safety, and welfare
and to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan by ensuring that conditional uses in residential
neighborhoods do not change the character of the neighborhoods as primarily residential communities.
As well as, to protect and implement the recovery and residential integration of the disabled, including
those receiving treatment and counseling in connection with dependency recovery. In doing so, the City
seeks to avoid the over -concentration of residential care facilities so that these facilities are reasonably

dispersed throughout the community and are not congregated or over -concentrated in any particular area
so as to institutionalize that area.
A conditional use permit is required to authorize uses not previously permitted as allowable in the
applicable residential zoning district or in an area where residential uses are provided for in Planned
Community Districts or specific plan districts. An application for a conditional use permit, meeting all the
requirements outline in Chapter 20.52.030 D, is then reviewed by the Director to ensure that the proposal
complies with all applicable requirements. Additionally, all conditional use permit applications require a
public hearing and a public notice of the hearing. The review authority identified in Table 3-9 above is
designated to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for conditional use permits in
residential zoning districts.
The City of Newport Beach identifies the purpose of site development reviews as providing a process for
the review of specific development projects in order to:
+ Ensure consistency with General Plan policies related to the preservation of established community
character, and expectations for high quality development.
+ Respect the physical and environmental characteristics of the site.
+ Ensure safe and convenient access and circulation for pedestrians and vehicles.
+ Allow for and encourage individual identity for specific uses and structures.
+ Encourage the maintenance of a distinct neighborhood and/or community identity.
+ Minimize or eliminate negative or undesirable visual impacts.
+ Ensure protection of significant views from public right(s)-of-way in compliance with Section 20.30.100
(Public View Protection); and
+ Allow for different levels of review depending on the significance of the development project.
Site development review is required before the issuance of a building or grading permit for any new
structure. Structures that do not require a site development review (but instead require a zoning
clearance) include, accessory structures, fences and/or walls, reconstruction or exterior remodeling of
existing structures, one to four dwelling units, without a tentative or parcel map, and non-residential up
to a maximum of 9,999 square feet of gross floor area. Site development review and approval is
determined by either the Zoning Administrator or the Planning Commission. Table 3-14 below identifies
the applicable review authority for different development types.

A site development review is initiated when the Department receives a complete application package
including the required information and materials specified by the Director and any additional information
required by the applicable review authority in order to conduct a thorough review of the project. Upon
receipt of a complete application the applicable review authority shall conduct a review of the location,
design, site plan configuration, and effect of the proposed project on adjacent properties by comparing
the project plans to established development standards and adopted criteria and policies applicable to
the use or structure. The following criteria shall be considered during the review of a site development
review application:
+ Compliance with this section, the General Plan, this Zoning Code, any applicable specific plan, and other
applicable criteria and policies related to the use or structure.
+ The efficient arrangement of structures on the site and the harmonious relationship of the structures
to one another and to other adjacent developments; and whether the relationship is based on standards
of good design.
+ The compatibility in terms of bulk, scale, and aesthetic treatment of structures on the site and adjacent
developments and public areas.
+ The adequacy, efficiency, and safety of pedestrian and vehicular access, including drive aisles,
driveways, and parking and loading spaces.

A Zoning clearance is the procedure used by the City to verify that a proposed use or structure complies
with the activities allowed in the applicable zoning district and the development standards and other
provisions of the City's Zoning Code. A zoning clearance is required as a prerequisite to establishing a
structure for the following:
+ Before the initiation or commencement of any use of land not requiring the construction of a structure.
+ Whenever a use is proposed to be changed, whether or not the new use involves a new lessee, operator,
or owner, a zoning clearance shall be obtained.
+ Before the City issues a new or modified building permit, grading permit, or other construction -related
permit required for the alteration, construction, modification, moving, or reconstruction of any
structure.
The Department may issue the zoning clearance after first determining that the request complies with all
Zoning Code provisions and other adopted criteria and policies applicable to the proposed use or
structure. An approval may be in the form of a stamp, signature, or other official notation on approved
plans, a letter to the applicant, or other certification, at the discretion of the Director. Review authority
for Zoning Clearances is stated in Table 3-11 above.
Senate Bill 3!
California Senate Bill 35 (SB 35), codified as Government Code Section 65913.41, was signed on September
29, 2017 and became effective January 1. 2018. SB 35 will automaticallv sunset on January 1. 2026 (Section
65913.4(m)). The intent of SB 35 is to expedite and facilitate construction of affordable housing. SB 35
applies to cities and counties that have not made sufficient progress toward meeting their affordable
housing goals for above moderate- and lower-income levels as mandated by the State. In an effort to
meet the affordable housing goals, SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline the review and
approval of certain qualifying affordable housing projects through a ministerial process.
When a iurisdiction has made insufficient proeress toward their Above Moderate income RHNA and/or
has not submitted the latest Housing Element Annual Progress Report (2018) it is subiect to the
streamlined ministerial approval process (SB 35 (Chapter 366, Statutes of 2017) streamlining) for
proposed developments with at least 50 percent affordability. All projects, which propose at least 50
percent affordable units within Newport Beach are eligible for ministerial approval under SB 35 as
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-41
(DRAFT APRIL JUNEA}urle 30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
determined by the SB 35 Statewide Determination Summary. To be eligible for SB 35 approval, sites must
meet a long list of criteria, including:
+ A multifamily housing development (at least two residential units) in an urbanized area;
+ Located where 75% of the perimeter of the site is develo
+ Zoned or designated by the general Dlan for residential or mixed use residential:
+ In a location where the locality's share of regional housing needs have not be satisfied by build
Permits previously issued;
+ One that includes affordable housing in accordance with SB 35 requirements;
+ Consistent with the local government's objective zoning and design review standards; and
+ Willing to pay construction workers the state -determined "prevailing wage."
A project does not qualify for SB 35 streamline processing if in:
+ A coastal zone. conservation lands. or habitat for protected soeci
+ Prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance:
+ Wetlands or lands under conservation eas
+ A very high fire hazard severity zone;
+ Hazardous waste site;
+ Earthquake fault zone;
+ Flood plain or floodway;
A site with existing multi -family housing that has been occupied by tenants in the last ten years or is
subiect to rent control: or
+ A site with existine affordable housine.l
2. Infrastructure Constraints
Another factor that could constrain new residential construction is the requirement and cost to provide
adequate infrastructure (major and local streets; water and sewer lines; and street lighting) needed to
serve new residential development. In most cases, where new infrastructure is required, it is funded by
the developer and then dedicated to the City, which is then responsible for its maintenance. Because the
cost of these facilities is generally borne by developers, it increases the cost of new construction, with
much of that increased cost often "passed on" in as part of home rental or sales rates.

Southern California Edison (SCE) is the electrical service provider for the City of Newport Beach. SCE is
regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) and includes 50,000 square miles of SCE service area across Central, Coastal, and
Southern California. The SCE reliability report identifies the reliability of electricity services to the City and
identifies any dependability issues that exist in the City. There are 52 circuits that serve the City of
Newport Beach, in total the 52 circuits serve 77,199 customers. SCE measure reliability by three
categories:
+ System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) — total minutes every SCE customer was without
power due to sustained power outage (outage > 5 minutes) divided by total number of customers
+ System Average Interruption Frequency Duration Index (SAIFI) — Number of sustained customer
outages experienced by all SCE customers divided by total number of customers
+ Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (MAIFI) — System average interruption duration index
divided by system average interruption frequency index
Overall, the City of Newport Beach experience relatively low interruptions compared to the overall service
provided to all SCE customers, displayed in Figure 3-1.

Natural Gas
Southern California Gas Company provides natural gas services to the City of Newport Beach. SoCal Gas
is a gas -only utility and, in addition to serving the residential, commercial, and industrial markets, provides
gas for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and EG customers in Southern California. The SoCal Gas 2020 utility
report projects total gas demand to decline at an annual rate of 1 percent from 2020-2035. From 2020-
2035, residential demand is expected to decline from 230 Bcf to 198 Bcf. The decline is approximately 1
percent per year, on average. The decline is due to declining use per meter—primarily driven by very
aggressive energy efficiency goals and associated programs— offsetting new meter growth.2
SoCalGas engages in several energy efficiency and conservation programs designed to help customers
identify and implement ways to benefit environmentally and financially from energy efficiency
investments. Programs administered by SoCalGas include services that help customers evaluate their
energy efficiency options and adopt recommended solutions, as well as simple equipment -retrofit

Water Supply
The City of Newport Beach Utilities Department currently serves a population of over 86,000 within a
service area of approximately fifty square miles. The Department is responsible for providing a safe and
reliable source of water to approximately 26,200 active connections and delivering approximately 13,500 -
acre feet (AF) of water per year on average.' The City's distribution system consists of approximately 300
miles of distribution pipelines and is divided into five main pressure zones: Zone 1 through Zone 5 with 16
minor zones. Zones 1 and 2 are the largest and cover most of the system demands. Zones 3, 4 and 5 are
smaller pumped zones. The system infrastructure consists of four wells, three storage reservoirs, five
pump stations and 43 pressure reducing stations (PRS) that manage pressure across the system.4
The City of Newport Beach water division is separated into four sections: water maintenance and repair,
water production, water quality, and water system services, each department's duties are outlined below.
Together the division is responsible for providing a safe and reliable source of water.
NAwnnrt RAar_h Watar Sn►irra
The City receives its water from several sources, local groundwater from the Lower Santa Ana River
Groundwater Basin, imported water purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County
(MWDOC), and recycled water purchased from Orange County Water District (OCWD). Most of the City's
water supply is groundwater, pumped from four wells within the City of Fountain Valley. Imported water
is treated at the Diemer Filtration Plant operated by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
(Metropolitan). The City is not capable of treating water to produce reclaimed water but purchases water
from OCWD through the Green Acres Project. 5
Water Maintenance and Repair
Water Maintenance & Repair is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the City's water mains
and valves that are located underground.
Water Production
Water Production operates, maintains, and disinfects the City of Newport Beach's water supply. The
division operates two well sites which produce groundwater from the Orange County Basin as well as
three water reservoirs to receive, store and distribute the City's water. Other water facilities that assist in
the distribution and treatment process include: five water pump stations, five Metropolitan Water District
interconnections, and 42 water pressure regulating stations. Water Production also manages SCADA

The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD)provides sanitation services to the City of Newport Beach.
In 2013, the sanitation district began a construction program to rehabilitate the OCSD's regional sewers
in the City. The program ran through 2018 and consisted of five construction projects, including:
+ Dover Drive Trunk Sewer Relief (5-63): The Dover Drive Trunk sewer runs between Irvine Blvd. and
Coast Highway and is in poor condition. The existing sewer pipeline also does not have efficient hydraulic
capacity to handle the wastewater flow and must therefore be replaced with a larger pipeline. OCSD
will also relocate a city waterline to reduce the level of impact for the community by eliminating the
need for a secondary project in the area.
+ Balboa Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation (5-47): This project will rehabilitate the existing Balboa Trunk sewer
along Newport Blvd. and Balboa Blvd. between A Street and Finley Ave. (See map: between A Street
Pump Station and Lido Pump Station.) The project includes installation of a new protective lining in
approximately 12,600 feet of sewer pipeline.
+ Newport Force Main Rehabilitation (5-60): The Newport Force Main is a critical component of our
sewer system and needs to be rehabilitated. It carries the wastewater flow from various pump stations
to our treatment plant in Huntington Beach. The pipelines are located on Coast Highway stretching past
Dover Dr. to the Bitter Point Pump Station, approximately 1/4 mile north of Superior Ave., which is a

heavily traveled thoroughfare. There are two sewer lines, one on the north side of Coast Highway and
one on the south side which make the rehabilitation more complex.
+ District 6 Trunk Sewer Relief (6-17): The District 6 Trunk sewer runs from Pomona Ave. in the City of
Costa Mesa to Newport Blvd. near Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach. This project will increase
the capacity of the existing sewer pipeline to reduce the potential for sewer spills and to properly handle
flows.
+ Southwest Costa Mesa Trunk (6-19): In an effort to improve efficiency in our service area, this project
is looking into the design and construction of a new gravity trunk sewer. This project may lead to the
abandonment of eight Costa Mesa and Newport Beach pump stations to provide more reliable service
to the community
The infrastructure improvements initiated by OCSD from 2013 to 2018 increased overall capacity and
efficiency in the Newport Beach sewer system. The City can accommodate the increase in households as
projected by the City's RHNA allocation.
(Water Dem
In fiscal year 2014-15, the City's total water demand was approximately 16,033 acre-feet. The City's
potable demand was met through 11,200 acre-feet of groundwater and 4,338 acre-feet of imported
water; the remaining non -potable demand was met through recycled water. The City is projecting over
five percent increase in total potable and non -potable demand in the next 25 years accompanied by a
projected 13 percent population growth.6
The 2015 UWMP found that Metropolitan is able to meet full service demands of its member agencies
with existing supplies out to 2040 during a normal, single -dry, and multiple -dry year scenario. Additionally,
the 2019 Water Master Plan found that though population continues to increase over the past ten years,
total water demand has decreased. The 10 -year average annual demand for 2007-2016 (15,991 AF) is 14
percent less than the 1986-1996 average annual demand (18,626 AF). The City's water infrastructure and
service provider is capable of meeting the water demands of its customers under the same hydrological
conditions out to 2040, this includes all household growth estimated by the City's RHNA allocation.
Fire and Emergency Services
The City of Newport Beach's Fire Department aims to Protect life, property, and the environment with
innovative professionalism and organizational effectiveness using highly trained professionals committed
to unparalleled service excellence. The department has 144 full-time employees and over 200 part-time /
seasonal employees provide 24-hour protection and response to the community's residents, businesses,
and visitors. The department's primary goals are identified as follows:
+ Identify and reduce fire and environmental hazards that may threaten life and property.
+ Provide a safe, effective, and expeditious response to requests for assistance.

+ Encourage department personnel to assume leadership roles in the organization.
+ Plan for response to natural and man-made disasters that affect the community.
+ Educate and train employees and the community to assist them in maintaining a safe environment.
The department's different divisions and respective duties are outlined below.
Fire Onerations Division
The Fire Operations Division is the largest of four divisions within the Newport Beach Fire Department.
The primary responsibilities of its personnel are life safety, incident stabilization, and the preservation of
property and the environment. The Newport Beach Fire Department operates as an "all risk" emergency
responsible organization responding to the following:
+ Fires
+ Pre -hospital Medical Emergencies
+ Technical Rescues
+ Traffic Accidents
+ Vehicle Extrications
+ Major Flooding
+ Beach Rescues
+ High Rise Incidents
+ Wildland Fires
+ Disaster Operations
+ Hazardous Materials Incidents
The Fire Department staffs eight -fire stations 24/7. The stations are strategically located throughout the
city to provide the quickest and most effective response to the area served, with an average response
time of five minutes. Considering the department's expansive and well-connected nature, as well as the
compactness of the City of Newport, additional housing or new developments would not pose a burden
on the existing Fire Department's fire operations. Therefore, fire operations are not considered a
constraint to the development of housing for all income levels.
The City requires Development Agreements for certain development types within the Airport area to
ensure adequate safety services and ambulance units. Development Agreements include additional fees
for safety service operations in the airport area due to current lack of ambulance units. The imposition of

additional fees may pose a constraint to the development of housing, and particularly affordable housing.
This may result in greater development fees which may subsequently influence the final rental cost of
units or home value.
Emeraencv Medical Service,
The goal of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division is to deliver the highest quality of medical care
to members of the community, regardless of their ability to pay. In total, the City has eight fire stations
that are strategically located to provide the best services the community. Each day there are eight fire
engines, two fire trucks and the three paramedic ambulances in service. The average response time is four
minutes and 22 seconds. The system's design accounts for fewer paramedic ambulances and expects a
nearby fire engine or truck company to arrive on scene first to initiate basic medical care, which at times
can include lifesaving cardio -pulmonary resuscitation or delivering rapid electrical shocks using
automated external defibrillators (AEDs), prior to the arrival of the paramedic team.
Lifeguard Operations Division
The City of Newport Beach's Lifeguard Division protects up to 10 million beach visitors on Newport
Beach's 6.2 miles of ocean and 2.5 miles of bay beaches, with preventative actions and medical assistance.
Every day of the year, lifeguards ensure safety and provide customer service to the visitors on the beach,
boardwalk, piers, and in the ocean.
Police Services
The City of Newport Beach's Police Department intends to:
+ Respond positively to the Community's needs, desires, and values and in so doing be recognized as an
extension and reflection of those we serve.
+ Strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for all, free from violence and property loss resulting
from criminal acts, and injuries caused by traffic violators.
+ Manage inevitable change and welcome the challenge of future problems with creative solutions,
which are financially prudent and consistent with Community values.
The Department's is headed by Chief of Police Jon T. Lewis, who is the 101h Chief of Police in the
department's history, assuming office on March 22, 2016. The City of Newport Beach's Police Department
handles a wide array of services and permitting, all services are outlined in detail on the City's Police
Department webpage.
3. Environmental Constraints
Newport Beach is bound by the Pacific Ocean to the West and contains many different natural landscapes
within the City's boundaries. Newport Beach has a variety of coastal features ranging from replenished
beach sands in West Newport, to steep bluffs comprised of sandstone and siltstone to the south of Corona
del Mar. The community, as most of California is, sits along some major fault traces. The City is susceptible
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-50
(DRAFT APRIL JUNE�30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
to several potential environmental constraints to the development of housing, including geologic hazards,
flood hazards, and fire hazards, all are detailed below.
Coastal Hazards
A goal of the California Coastal Act and the City's adopted Local Coastal Program is to assure the priority
for coastal -dependent and coastal -related development over other development in the Coastal Zone. The
Coastal Act is an umbrella legislation designed to encourage local governments to create Local Coastal
Programs (LCPs) to govern decisions that determine the short- and long-term conservation and use of
coastal resources. The City of Newport Beach's LCP is considered the legislative equivalent of the City's
General Plan for areas within the Coastal Zone. Local Coastal Programs are obligated by statute to be
consistent with the policies of the Coastal Act and protect public access and coastal resources. Over 63
percent of Newport Beach is within the Coastal Zone and subject to the oversight by the California Coastal
Commission.
SPa I PVPI Rise anal gtnrm Inunrilatinn
Newport Beach is exposed to a variety of coastal hazards including beach erosion, bluff erosion, and
coastal flooding due to sea level rise (SLR) and storm inundation. The City has a significant amount of land
directly adjacent to surface water that is directly affected by sea level rise and storm inundation. The
effects of SLR on coastal processes, such as shoreline erosion, storm -related flooding and bluff erosion,
have been evaluated using a Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS), a software tool and multi -agency
effort led by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), to make detailed predictions of coastal flooding
and erosion based on existing and future climate scenarios for Southern California. The mapping results
from CoSMoS provide predictions of shoreline erosion (storm and non -storm), coastal flooding during
extreme events, and bluff erosion for the City in community -level coastal planning and decision-making.
A large portion of the City's coastal adjacent land appropriate for development is at risk of tidal flooding.
Land along the coast is vulnerable to shoreline retreat, which is predicted to accelerate with Sea Level
Rise. Long-term shoreline retreat coupled with storm -induced beach erosion has the potential to cause
permanent damage to buildings and infrastructure in these hazard zones. As a result, the City did not
utilize land within the coastal
The Coastal Commission provides direct guidance on how the City of Newport Beach addresses future
land use in consideration of sea level rise. According to the California Coastal Commission Sea Level Rise
Policy Guidance' , local jurisdictions can "Minimize Coastal Hazards through Planning and Development
Standards" through the following measures applicable to Newport Beach:
+ Design adaptation strategies according to local conditions and existing development patterns, in
accordance with the Coastal Act.
+ Avoid significant coastal hazard risks to new development where feasible.

ate:
+ Minimize coastal hazard risks and resource impacts when making redevelopment decisions.
+ Account for the social and economic needs of the people of the state include environmental justice,
assure priority for coastal -dependent and coastal -related develop over other development
The Coastal Commission has also prepared a Draft Coastal Adaptation Planning Guidance: Residential
Development (dated March 2018), which will serve as the Coastal Commission's policy guidance on sea
level rise adaptation for residential development to help facilitate planning for resilient shorelines while
protecting coastal resources in LCPs
Geologic Hazards
According to the Newport Beach Safety Element, the geologic diversity of Newport Beach is strongly
related to tectonic movement along the San Andreas Fault and its broad zone of subsidiary faults. This,
along with sea level fluctuations related to changes in climate, has resulted in a landscape that is also
diverse in geologic hazards. Geologic hazards are generally defined as surficial earth processes that have
the potential to cause loss or harm to the community or the environment. Specific geologic hazards that
may affect the development of housing in the City are detailed below.
Slope Failures
Slope failures often occur as elements of interrelated natural hazards in which one event triggers a
secondary event such as a storm -induced mudflow. Slope failure can occur on natural and man-made
slopes. The City's remaining natural hillsides and coastal bluff areas are generally vulnerable to slope
failures that include: San Joaquin Hills; and bluffs along Upper Newport Bay, Newport Harbor, and the
Pacific Ocean. Despite the abundance of landslides and new development in the San Joaquin Hills, damage
from slope failures in Newport Beach has been small which may be attributed to the development of strict
hillside grading ordinances, sound project design that avoid severely hazardous areas, soil engineering
practices, and effective agency review of hillside grading projects.
Seismic Hazards
The City of Newport Beach is located in the northern part of the Peninsular Ranges Province, an area that
is exposed to risk from multiple earthquake fault zones. The City of Newport Beach Safety Element
determines that the highest risks originate from the Newport -Inglewood fault zone, the Whittier fault
zone, the San Joaquin Hills fault zone, and the Elysian Park fault zone. Each of the aforementioned zones
have the potential to cause moderate to large earthquakes that would cause ground shaking in Newport
Beach and nearby communities. Earthquake -triggered geologic effects also include surface fault rupture,
landslides, liquefaction, subsidence, and seiches. Specific hazards associated with seismic hazards, which
can potentially be determined as a constraint to development are detailed below.
Liquefaction
Strong ground shaking can result in liquefaction. Liquefaction, a geologic process that causes ground
failure, typically occurs in loose, saturated sediments primarily of sandy composition. According to the
Newport Beach Safety Element, the areas of Newport Beach susceptible to liquefaction and related
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-52
(DRAFT APRIL JUNENL44 30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
ground failure (i.e. seismically induced settlement) include the following areas along the coastline:Ahat
des
+ Balboa Peninsula,
+ 4In and around the Newport Bay and Upper Newport Bay,
+ -in the lower reaches of major streams in Newport Beach, and
+ lin the floodplain of the Santa Ana River.
It is likely that residential or commercial development will never occur in many of the other
liquefiable areas, such as Upper Newport Bay, the Newport Coast beaches, and the bottoms of
stream channels.
Seismicallv Induced Slop Failure
Strong ground motions can also worsen existing unstable slope conditions, particularly if coupled with
saturated ground conditions. Seismically induced landslides can overrun structures, people or property,
sever utility lines, and block roads, thereby hindering rescue operations after an earthquake. Much of the
area in eastern Newport Beach has been identified as vulnerable to seismically induced slope failure.
Approximately 90 percent of the land from Los Trancos Canyon to State Park boundary is mapped as
susceptible to land sliding by the California Geologic Survey. Additionally, the sedimentary bedrock that
crops out in the San Joaquin Hills is locally highly weathered. In steep areas, strong ground shaking can
cause slides or rockfalls in this material. Rupture along the Newport Inglewood Fault Zone and other faults
in Southern California could reactivate existing landslides and cause new slope failures throughout the
San Joaquin Hills. Slope failures can also be expected to occur along stream banks and coastal bluffs, such
as Big Canyon, around San Joaquin Reservoir, Newport and Upper Newport Bays, and Corona del Mar.
Flood Hazards
The City of Newport Beach and surrounding areas are, like most of Southern California, subject to
unpredictable seasonal rainfall, and every few years the region is subjected to periods of intense and
sustained precipitation that result in flooding. Flooding can be a destructive natural hazard and is a
recurring event. A flood is any relatively high streamflow overtopping the natural or artificial banks in any
reach of a stream. Flood hazards in Newport Beach can be classified into two general categories: flash
flooding from small, natural channels; and more moderate and sustained flooding from the Santa Ana
River and San Diego Creek. The City of Newport Beach's Safety Element Identifies 100 -year and 500 -year
flood zones in the City. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zones are geographic areas
that the FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk. Each zone reflects the severity or type
of flooding in the area.$ The 100 -year flood zone are areas with a one percent annual chance of flooding,
the 500 -year flood zones are areas with a 0.2 percent annual chance of flooding.

(DRAFT APRIL JUNEAk+% 30, 2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
The 100- and 500 -year flood zones include the low-lying areas in West Newport at the base of the bluffs,
the coastal areas which surround Newport Bay and all low-lying areas adjacent to Upper Newport Bay.
100- and 500- year flooding is also anticipated to occur along the lower reaches of Coyote Canyon, in the
lower reaches of San Diego Creek and the Santa Ana Delhi Channel, and in a portion of Buck Gully. The
City also recently worked with FEMA to revise proposed flood hazards maps, in which FEMA removed over
2,700 properties from flood zones. Most flooding along these second- and third -order streams is not
expected to impact significant development. However, flooding in the coastal areas of the City will impact
residential and commercial zones along West Newport, the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island and the
seaward side of Pacific Coast Highway.'
With increased development, there is also an increase in impervious surfaces, such as asphalt. Water that
used to be absorbed into the ground becomes runoff to downstream areas. However, various flood
control measures help mitigate flood damage in the City, including reservoirs in the San Joaquin Hills and
Santa Ana Mountain foothills, and channel alterations for the Santa Ana River. These structures help
regulate flow in the Santa Ana River, San Diego Creek, and smaller streams and hold back some of the
flow during intense rainfall period that could otherwise overwhelm the storm drain system in Newport
Beach.
Fire Hazards
The Newport Beach Safety Element defines a wildland fire hazard area as any geographic area that
contains the type and condition of vegetation, topography, weather, and structure densitythat potentially
increases the possibility of wildland fires. The eastern portion of the City and portions of the Newport
Beach region and surrounding areas to the north, east, and southeast include grass- and brush -covered
hillsides with significant topographic relief that facilitate the rapid spread of fire, especially if fanned by
coastal breezes or Santa Ana winds.
In those areas identified as susceptible to wildland fire, the Fire Department enforces locally developed
regulations which reduce the amount and continuity of fuel (vegetation) available, firewood storage,
debris clearing, proximity of vegetation to structures and other measures aimed at "Hazard Reduction."
New construction and development are further protected by local amendments to the Uniform Building
Code. These amendments, which are designed to increase the fire resistance of a building, include:
protection of exposed eaves, noncombustible construction of exterior walls, protection of openings, and
the requirement for Class "A" fireproof roofing throughout the City. Additionally, a "Fuel Modification"
plan aimed at reducing fire encroachment into structures from adjacent vegetation must be developed
and maintained.

1. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
All Housing Elements due on or after January 1, 2021 must contain an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH)
consistent with the core elements of the analysis required by the federal Affirmatively Further Fair
Housing Final Rule of July 16, 2015.
Under State law, affirmatively further fair housing means "taking meaningful actions, in addition to
combatting discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free
from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. These characteristics
can include, but are not limited to race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color,
familiar status, or disability.
The Orange County Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice for FY 2015-19 was approved by
the City of Newport Beach City Council An Month Win October, 2016 as one of the fifteen urban county
program participants in partnership with the Fair Housing Council of Orange County. The Draft Regional
Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice for FY 2020-25 was made available for public review
in 2020. The Fair Housing Council of Orange County works under the direction of a volunteer board of
directors and staff to fulfill a mission of protecting the quality of life in Orange County by ensuring equal
access to housing opportunities, fostering diversity and preserving dignity and human rights. The agency
is a HUD Approved Housing Counseling Agency and provides one-on-one education, mediation, and
counseling for individuals and families throughout the Orange County region.
The Al identifies impediments that may prevent equal housing access and develops solutions to mitigate
or remove such impediments. Newport Beach's 6th Cycle Housing Element references analysis from the
FY 2020-2025 Al in order to identify potential impediments to housing that are specific to Newport Beach.
The City also completed its FY 2020-24 Consolidated Plan, adopted by City Council on May 12, 2020, as an
entitlement city for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, which identifies housing
problems within the community, specifically among low and very -low income households. Fair housing is
identified as a priority within the Consolidated Plan.
2. Needs Assessment
The Al contains a Countywide analysis of demographic, housing, and specifically fair housing issues for all
the cities in Orange County, including Newport Beach. The City's demographic and income profile,
household and housing characteristics, housing cost and availability, and special needs populations were
discussed in the previous Section 2: Community Profile.

ocal Contributing Fac'
The Regional Al lists fair housing issues within the County of Orange, the Al also explicitly includes the
following fair housing issues in the City of Newport Beach:
+ Availability, Type, Frequency, and Reliability of Public Transportation - The availability, type,
frequency, and reliability of public transportation may be significant local contributing factors to fair
housing issues in Newport Beach. Public transportation in Orange County primarily consists of bus
service operated by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and Metrolink light rail service.
However, Metrolink does not provide service to coastal communities in the central and northern
portions of Orange County, including Newport Beach which is disproportionately White in comparison
to the county as a whole. The lack of public transportation may deter members of protected classes
who do not have cars and are reliant on public transportation from choosing to live there, thus
reinforcing patterns of segregation.
+ Impediments to Mobility - Impediments to mobility may be a significant local contributing factor to fair
housing issues in Newport Beach. Specifically, Housing Choice Voucher payment standards that make it
difficult to secure housing in many, disproportionately White areas contribute to segregation and
disparities in access to opportunity. The Orange County Housing Authority, which provides Section 8
resources to Newport Beach, has three tiers based on city rather than zip code, but the highest tier -
$2,280 for two-bedroom units in selected cities — falls far short of Small Area Fair Market Rents and
leaves some cities targeted for that payment standard out of reach. For example, in zip code 92660,
located in Newport Beach, the Small Area Fair Market Rent for two-bedroom units would be $3,120. A
Zillow search for that zip code revealed advertised two-bedroom units in only two complexes available
for under $2,280 but many more available between $2,280 and $3,120.
+ Location of Accessible Housing - The location of accessible housing may be a significant locacl
contributing factor to fair housing issues in Newport Beach. With a few exceptions the location of
accessible housing tends to track areas where there are concentrations of publicly supported housing.
In Orange County, publicly supported housing tends to be concentrated in areas that are
disproportionately Hispanic and/or Vietnamese and that have relatively limited access to educational
opportunity and environmental health. Multi -unit housing tends to be concentrated in communities of
color, but there are some predominantly White communities that have significant amounts of market -
rate multi -unit housing that may be accessible and affordable to middle-income and high-income
persons with disabilities, including Newport Beach. Overall, permitting more multi -unit housing and
assisting more publicly supported housing in predominantly White communities with proficient schools
would help ensure that persons with disabilities who need accessibility features in their homes have a
full range of neighborhood choices available to them.

2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
+ Occupancy Codes and Restrictions - Occupancy codes and restrictions may be a significant local
contributing factor to fair housing issues in Newport Beach. Specifically, there is a substantial recent
history of municipal ordinances targeting group homes, in general, and community residences for
people in recovery from alcohol or substance abuse disorders, in particular. In 2015, the City of Newport
Beach entered into a $5.25 million settlement of a challenge to its ordinance, but that settlement did
not include injunctive relief calling for a repeal of that ordinance.10 Although municipalities have an
interest in protecting the health and safety of group home residents, these types of restrictions may be
burdensome for ethical, high-quality group home operators. Occupancy codes and restrictions are not
as high priority of a barrier as the factors that hinder the development of permanent supportive housing,
as group homes are generally less integrated than independent living settings.
The City recognizes the fair housing issues that exist within the community and is committed to reduces
barriers to housing affordable to all persons. The City has outline programs to address fair housing issues
in Newport Beach in the Section 4: Housing Plan.
Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach Capacity
Currently, the Fair Housing Foundation provides fair housing services to the City of Newport Beach. This
includes providing fair housing enforcement and landlord/tenant mediation services which are available
for tenants, realtors, apartment owners and managers, lending institutions and other interested parties.
For FY 2020-21, the City of Newport Beach has allocated $12,000 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds for the Fair Housing Foundation to perform the following, at no cost:
+ Fair housing services such as, responding to discrimination inquiries and complaints, documenting, and
investigating discrimination complaints, and resolving or mediating discrimination complaints
+ A comprehensive, extensive, and viable education and outreach program, including:
o Fair Housing Workshop
o Certificate Management Training
o Walk -In Clinics
o Rental Housing Counseling Workshop
o Community presentations, staff training, and workshops
o Community events, booths, networking, etc.
+ Landlord and tenant counseling on responsibilities and rights
+ Rental counseling
The Fair Housing Foundations offers regular walk-in counseling sessions, in addition to resources fairs,
informational workshops (accessible in multiple languages), landlord and tenant workshops, and other
outreach efforts. Additionally, the FHF provided virtual workshops available online to Newport Beach
residents.

From 2015 to 2020, the City provided 408 residents with fair housing services using CDBG funding. As part
of the FY 2020-25 Consolidated Plan for the Newport Beach, the City has set a goal of assisting 625 people
with fair housing issues within the five-year period using $60,000 of CDBG funding. Newport Beach has
also set a goal of retaining a Fair Housing provider to promote fair housing education and outreach within
the community. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) maintains a record of all
housing discrimination complaints filed in local jurisdictions. These grievances can be filed on the basis of
race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, familial status, and retaliation. As reported by the 2020-
2025 Al, one fair housing case is unresolved (as one 2020) in Newport Beach.
3. Analysis of Federal, State, and Local Data and Local
Knowledge
Integration and Segregation Patterns and Trends
The dissimilarity index is the most used measure of segregation between two groups, reflecting their
relative distributions across neighborhoods (as defined by census tracts). The index represents the
percentage of the minority group that would have to move to new neighborhoods to achieve perfect
integration of that group. An index score can range in value from 0 percent, indicating complete
integration, to 100 percent, indicating complete segregation. An index number above 60 is considered to
show high similarity and a segregated community.
It is important to note that segregation is a complex topic, difficult to generalize, and is influenced by
many factors. Individual choices can be a cause of segregation, with some residents choosing to live
among people of their own race or ethnic group. For instance, recent immigrants often depend on nearby
relatives, friends, and ethnic institutions to help them adjust to a new country.11 Alternatively, when white
residents leave neighborhoods that become more diverse, those neighborhoods can become segregated.
Other factors, including housing market dynamics, availability of lending to different ethnic groups,
availability of affordable housing, and discrimination can also cause residential segregation.
Figure 3-2 shows the dissimilarity between each if the identified race and ethnic groups and Newport
Beach's White population. The higher scores indicate higher levels of segregation among those racial and
ethnic group. The White (non -Hispanic or Latino) population makes up most of the City's population at
approximately 79.5 percent according to the 2018 ACS estimates. According to the figure, the highest
levels of segregation within Newport Beach are Other Race (51.3), Native Hawaiian (44.5), Black (37.8 and
Native Indian (37.4). The scores correlate with the percentage of peap eof people within that racial or
ethnic group that would need to move into a predominately White census tract in order to achieve a more
integrated community. For instance, 44.5 percent of the Native Hawaiian population would need to move
into predominately white census tract areas to achieve "perfect" integration. As indicated above, a score
of 60 or higher indicates a highly similar and segregated area.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) considers dissimilarity index scores
above 30. but below 60 as moderate seeregation.—and Sscores above 60 are considered to be high
segregation. According to Figure 3-2 blow, while the City of Newport Beach has no racial or ethnic
populations with a dissimilarity index above 60, all populations (with the exception of the Hispanic/Latino
population) have a score above 30, meaning all groups experience moderate segregation from the White
population. While segregation may be a result of ethnic enclaves or persons of similar cultures living in
community, there is often increased likelihood segregated populations will have fewer access to essential
resources. As a cart of Newaort Beach's efforts to further fair housine. the Citv will consider increased
targeted outreach to the City's minority residents.

Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP)
To assist communities in identifying racially/ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs), HUD has
developed a census tract -based definition of R/ECAPs. The definition involves a racial/ethnic
concentration threshold and a poverty test. The racial/ethnic concentration threshold is straightforward:
R/ECAPs must have a non-white population of 50 percent or more. Regarding the poverty threshold,
Wilson (1980) defines neighborhoods of extreme poverty as census tracts with 40 percent or more of
individuals living at or below the poverty line. Because overall poverty levels are substantially lower in
many parts of the country, HUD supplements this with an alternate criterion. Thus, a neighborhood can
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing 3-59
(DRAFT APRIL JUNEA}urle 30_2021)
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
be a R/ECAP if it has a poverty rate that exceeds 40% or is three or more times the average tract poverty
rate for the metropolitan/micropolitan area, whichever threshold is lower.
Location of residence can have a substantial effect on mental and physical health, education
opportunities, and economic opportunities. Urban areas that are more residentially segregated by race
and income tend to have lower levels of upward economic mobility than other areas. Research has found
that racial inequality is thus amplified by residential segregation.12 However, these areas may also provide
different opportunities, such as ethnic enclaves providing proximity to centers of cultural significance, or
business, social networks and communities to help immigrants preserve cultural identify and establish
themselves in new places. Overall, it is important to study and identify these areas in order to understand
patterns of segregation and poverty in a City.
The 2020 Al performed an analysis of R/ECAPs within Orange County and found four R/ECAPs, none of
which were found in Newport Beach. However, two of the four were found in the neighboring City of
Irvine, adjacent to one another and near the University of California; these both bordered the City of
Newport Beach. According to the Al, it is likely that they qualify as R/ECAPs due to the high proportions
of students. These R/ECAPs have a much more diverse group of residents, with some White, Asian or
Pacific Islander, Hispanic and Black residents. These R/ECAPs primarily contain Asian or Pacific Islander or
Hispanic residents. 23.49% of residents are White, 1.63% are Black, 48.50% are Hispanic, 23.70% are Asian
or Pacific Islander, and 0.14% are Native American.
Figure 3-3 below identifies low poverty index with race/ethnicity and R/ECAPs in Newport Beach. The
figure also identifies the R/ECAP areas (outlined in pink) bordering the City of Newport Beach, near the
University of California, Irvine. The low poverty index captures the depth and intensity of poverty in a
given neighborhood. The index uses both family poverty rates and public assistance receipt, in the form
of cash -welfare, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The poverty rate and public
assistance for neighborhoods are determined at the census tract level, and the higher the score, the less
exposure to poverty in a neighborhood. The map identifies the R/ECAP and a few surrounding
neighborhoods, to the south and south east, as having higher rates if poverty. The map confirms the Al
anlysis of the City of Newport Beach, showing that majority of resident's identify as White, non hispanic.

Disparities in Access to Opportunity
The UC Davis Center for Regional Change and Rabobank partnered to develop the Regional Opportunity
Index (ROI) intended to help communities understand local social and economic opportunities. The goal
of the ROI is to help target resources and policies toward people and places with the greatest need to
foster thriving communities. The ROI incorporates both "people" and "place components, integrating
economic, infrastructure, environmental, and social indicators into a comprehensive assessment of the
factors driving opportunity."
As shown in Figures 3-4 and Figure 3-5 below, the majority of the City of Newport Beach is classified as a
high opportunity zone. This indicates a high level of relative opportunities that people can achieve as well
as a high level of relative opportunities that Newport Beach provides. While most of the census tracts
within the City are areas of high opportunity, there are two census tracts within the ROI People Index
shown as yellow, identifying a low opportunity area. Together these areas contain 86 sites which
accommodate 1,941 potential units designated to meet the City's RHNA for lower income units (shown in
Section 3: Housing Resources and outlined in Appendix B). The Data for both regions with lower
opportunity show high civic life, health, transportation, economic and education access, however, both
show very low housing access. Therefore, the consideration and identification of these areas for housing,
affordable to low and very low-income households, will provide increased housing opportunity in high
opportunity and high resources areas.

Additionally, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) together with the California
Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) established the California Fair Housing Task Force to provide
research, evidence -based policy recommendations, and other strategic recommendations to HCD and
other related state agencies/departments to further the fair housing goals (as defined by HCD). The Task
force developed the TCAC/HCD opportunity Area Maps to understand how public and private resources
are spatially distributed. The Task force defines opportunities as pathways to better lives, including health,
education, and employment. Overall, opportunity maps are intended to display which areas, according to
research, offer low-income children and adults the best chance at economic advancement, high
educational attainment, and good physical and mental health.
According to the Task Force's methodology, the tool allocates the 20 percent of the tracts in each region
with the highest relative index scores to the "Highest Resource" designation and the next 20 percent to
the "High Resource" designation. Each region then ends up with 40 percent of its total tracts as "Highest"
or "High" resource. These two categories are intended to help State decision -makers identify tracts within
each region that the research suggests low-income families are most likely to thrive, and where they
typically do not have the option to live—but might, if given the choice. As shown in Figure 3-6 below,
nearly all of Newport Beach is classified as moderate, high, and highest resource. There is one census tract
in the Northwest Portion of Newport Beach classifies as low resource, the tracts scores identify high
economic resources and low educational resources.

Access to neighborhoods with higher levels of opportunity can be more difficult due to discrimination and
when there may not be a sufficient range and supply of housing in such neighborhoods. In addition, the
continuing legacy of discrimination and segregation can impact the availability of quality infrastructure,
educational resources, environmental protections, and economic drivers, all of which can create
disparities in access to opportunity.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) developed the opportunity indicators to help
inform communities about disparities in access to opportunity, the scores are based on nationally
available data sources and assess resident's access to key opportunity assets in the City. Table 3-156
provides the index scores (ranging from zero to 100) for the following opportunity indicator indices:
+ Low Poverty Index: The low poverty index captures poverty in a given neighborhood. The poverty rate
is determined at the census tract level. The higher the score, the less exposure to poverty in a
neighborhood.
+ School Proficiency Index: The school proficiency index uses school -level data on the performance of 4th
grade students on state exams to describe which neighborhoods have high -performing elementary
schools nearby and which are near lower performing elementary schools. The higher the score, the
higher the school system quality is in a neighborhood.
+ Labor Market Engagement Index: The labor market engagement index provides a summary description
of the relative intensity of labor market engagement and human capital in a neighborhood. This is based
upon the level of employment, labor force participation, and educational attainment in a census tract.
The higher the score, the higher the labor force participation and human capital in a neighborhood.
+ Transit Trips Index: This index is based on estimates of transit trips taken by a family that meets the
following description: a three-person single -parent family with income at 50% of the median income for
renters for the region (i.e. the Core -Based Statistical Area (CBSA)). The higher the transit trips index, the
more likely residents in that neighborhood utilize public transit.
+ Low Transportation Cost Index: This index is based on estimates of transportation costs for a family
that meets the following description: a three-person single -parent family with income at 50 percent of
the median income for renters for the region/CBSA. The higher the index, the lower the cost of
transportation in that neighborhood.
+ Jobs Proximity Index: The jobs proximity index quantifies the accessibility of a given residential
neighborhood as a function of its distance to all job locations within a region/CBSA, with larger
employment centers weighted more heavily. The higher the index value, the better the access to
employment opportunities for residents in a neighborhood.
+ Environmental Health Index: The environmental health index summarizes potential exposure to
harmful toxins at a neighborhood level. The higher the index value, the less exposure to toxins harmful
to human health. Therefore, the higher the value, the better the environmental quality of a
neighborhood, where a neighborhood is a census block -group.

Discussion of Disproportionate Housing Needs
The analysis of disproportionate housing needs within Newport Beach evaluated existing housing need,
need of the future housing population, and units within the community at -risk of converting to market -
rate.
'+tf►irc rrnuifh Alcor/
The City's future growth need is based on the RHNA production of 1,456 very low and 930 low income
units within the 2021-2029 planning period. Appendix B of this Housing Element shows the City's ability
to meet its 2021-2029 RHNA need at all income levels. This demonstrates the City's ability to
accommodate the anticipated future affordable housing needs of the community.
Existina Need
As described in Section 3.F.1 of this Housing Element, the Orange County Housing Authority administers
Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers within the City of Newport Beach. As of October 30, 2020, the City has
allocated 112 Section 8 vouchers to residents within the community: 30 for families, 20 for persons with
disabilities, and 62 for seniors.
Additionally, a variety of affordable housing opportunities currently exist in the City. In Orange County,
each category of publicly supported housing (public housing, Project Based Section 8, Other Multi -unit
Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and Low -Income Housing Tax Credit [LIHTC] units) is represented,
although that representation varies greatly depending on the individual municipality. Table 3-16 below
identifies the variety of publicly supported housing, by percent, in the City of Newport Beach.
Table 3-16 below displays the demographics of all public ally supported housing in Newport Beach. The
data shows that majority of persons who utilize and receive public housing support identify as White, with
a small percentage Hispanic or Asian/Pacific Islander.

Housing Needs in Newport Beach
A varietv of factors affect housine needs for different households. Most commonlv. disabilitv. household
income and households' characteristics shape the tvpe and size of housine units needed. as well as
accessibility based on existing units in a City. Tables 3-1724through 3-226 displayed data for demographic
characteristics of Newport Beach , as compared to the County of Orange and the State of California.
Additional detailed analysis of the Newport Beach community demographics is outlined in Chapter 2:
Community Profile of this Housing Element.
Table 3-1724 displays the data for persons with disabilities in the Citv. Countv. and State. Overall. about
10 percent of the California population reported having at least one disability. In the City, about 8 percent
of persons reported at least one disability. The County reported a higher percentage than the City at 8.5
percent. Of the 8 percent of Newport Beach residents who reported a disability, the majority were
independent living and ambulatory difficulties, which could be tied to the City's senior population. Ease
of reasonable accommodation procedures and 0000rtunity for accessible housine can provide increased
housing security for the population with disabilities.

percent. The City has a slightly higher percentage of households that have a high cost burden over 50
percent (21.4percent in the City, compared to about 19 percent in the County and State). Increased
opportunity for affordable housing and housing assistance funds help to prevent cost burden on
households.

Homeownership is a crucial foundation for helping families with low incomes build strength, stability and
independence. The opportunity for transition into the homebuyer's market is important for persons and
households in different communities, homeownership allows for increased stability and opportunity to

defined as between 1.01 and 1.5 persons per room in a household, and severe overcrowding is defined as
more than 1.51 persons per room. Overcrowding often occurs when nonfamily members combine
incomes to live in one household, such as college students and roommates, it also occurs when there is
not enough size appropriate housing options for large or multigenerational families. The City experiences
very low rates of overcrowding in comparison to the County and the State. According to the data,

generally requires more upkeep, regular maintenance and can cause a cost burden on both renters and
homeowners. Majority of Newport Beach 's housing stock was built between 1960 and 1999.
Development shows to have slowed significantly in the City after 2010, which could be indicative of the
Great Recession. Majority of the County's and State's housing units were built between 1980 and 2009
whereas the distribution of development was more dispersed from 1950 to 1990 in the State. Overall,
increased numbers of older housing which is not maintained can lead to cost burden and substandard

Displacement Risk
The potential for economic displacement risk can result from a variety of factors, including large-scale
development activity, neighborhood reinvestment, infrastructure investments, and changes in local and
regional employment opportunity. Economic displacement can be an inadvertent result of public and

Cost of Replacement Analysis
In general, the cost for new land in the City cost about $115/square foot, per market research (noted in
Section 3.A.1). The actual construction cost for residential development ranges from $118/square foot up
to $131/square foot. The total replacement cost for the at -risk units identified in Table 3-17 are
summarized below
+ The cost for replacing the 65 -unit Newport Seacrest Apartments would total more than $12,499,600.
This cost assumes that 1.5 acres of land will be required, and each unit will have a total floor area of
650 square feet (1 -bedroom units). The land cost will be approximately $7,514,100 (assuming
$115/square foot) while the construction cost will be approximately $4,985,500 (assuming
$118/square foot for a 650 -square foot unit= $76,700/unit).
+ The cost of replacing the 7 -units in the Pacific Heights Apartments would total more than $1,789,550.
This cost assumes that 0.25 acres of land will be required, and each unit will have a total floor area of
650 square feet (1- bedroom). The land cost will be approximately $1,252,350 (assuming $115/square
foot) while the construction cost will be approximately $536,900 (assuming $118/square foot for an
650 -square foot unit=$76,700/unit).
+ The cost of replacing the 15 units in Newport Seashore Apartments would total more than $3,655,200.
This cost assumes that 0.5 acres of land (average 650 square feet per dwelling unit) will be required
and each unit will have a total floor area of 650 square feet (1 -bedroom units). The land cost will be
approximately $2,504,700 (assuming $115/square foot) while the construction cost will be
approximately $1,150,500 (assuming $118/square foot for a 650 -square foot unit= $76,700/unit).
+ The cost of reDlacine the 25 units in Newaort Seaside Apartments would total more than 54.422.200.
This cost assumes that .5 acres of land (average 650 square feet per dwelling unit) will be required and
each unit will have a total floor area of 650 square feet (1 -bedroom units). The land cost will be
approximately $2,504,700 (assuming $115/square foot) while the construction cost will be
approximately $1,917,500 (assuming $118/square foot for a 650 -square foot unit= $76,700/unit).
+ The cost of replacing the 5 units for ownership in Villa del Este and Villa Siena developments would
total more than $1,809,100. This cost assumes that 0.25 acres of land (average 850 square feet per
dwelling unit) will be required and each unit will have a total floor area of 850 square feet (2 -bedroom
units). The land cost will be approximately $1,252,350 (assuming $115/square foot) while the
construction cost will be approximately $556,750 (assuming $131/square foot for an 850 -square foot
unit= $111,350/unit).
To address the risk of affordable units converting to market rate housing, the City has identified Programs
5A and 5C to monitor these units. The City will actively work to create programs and seek additional
funding in which the focus is to preserve these units beyond the expiration of the covenant so that the
owners are able to have affordable housing options.
SB 330
Effective January 1, 2020, Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) aims to increase residential unit development, protect
existing housing inventory, and expedite permit processing. Under this legislation, municipal and county
agencies are restricted in ordinances and polices that can be applied to residential development. The
revised definition of "Housing Development" now contains residential protects of two or more units,

mixed -use oroiects (with two-thirds of the floor area desienated for residential use). transitional
supportive, and emergency housing projects. SB330 sets a temporary 5 -year prohibition of residential
density reduction associated with a "housing development project", from January 1, 2020, to January 1,
2025. For example, during this temporary prohibition, a residential triplex cannot be demolished and
replaced with a duplex as this would be a net loss of one unit.
None of the housing strategy sites contain significant existing housing with low-income tenants who will
be displaced if the sites redevelop. To the extent that there is existing housing, all housing must be
replaced (Government Code Section 66300).
The Citv of Newport Beach has developed an informative weboaLye on SB 330 available for the public. The
State has also adopted iust cause eviction provisions and statewide rent control to protect tenants from
displacement.
The City is committed to making diligent efforts to engage underrepresented and disadvantaged
communities in studying displacement.

Assessment of Contributing Factors to Fair Housing Issues in Newport
Beach
The Al identifies the following regional goals for mitigating impediments to fair housing within
jurisdictions in Orange County:
+ Goal 1: Increase the supply of affordable housing in high opportunity areas.1
+ Goal 2: Prevent displacement of low- and moderate -income residents with protected characteristics,
including Hispanic residents, Vietnamese residents, other seniors, and people with disabilities
+ Goal 3: Increase community integration for persons with disabilities.
+ Goal 4: Ensure equal access to housing for persons with protected characteristics, who are
disproportionately likely to be lower-income and to experience homelessness.
+ Goal 5: Expand access to opportunity for protected classes
The Housing Element programs incorporates these recommended goals as they relate to Newport
Beach. The analysis above regarding other fair housing issues within Newport Beach yielde4s the
following results:
+ The City does not have any racial or ethnic groups that score higher than 60 on the dissimilarity index„
However. those who identifv as Native Hawaiian. Asian. American Indian. Black and Some Other Race
experience moderate levels of segregation (a dissimilarity index of greater than 30). While there are no
groups experience hieh seereeation. the Citv should focus on the needs and tareeted outreach to the
opulations experiencing moderate segregation. 4

+ The City does not have any racially or ethnically concentrated census tracts (R/ECAPs) as identified by
HUD. This indicates that there are no census tracts within Newport Beach with a non-white population
of 50 percent or more or any census tracts that have a poverty rate that exceeds 40% or is three or more
times the average tract poverty rate for the metropolitan/micropolitan area. However, one R/ECAP was
identified in the neighboring city of Irvine, near the University of California Irvine. This will be considered
in the housing plan as students within the R/ECAP may look for housing in Newport Beach.
+ The UC Davis Regional Opportunity Index shows that the majority of residents within Newport Beach
have a high level of access to opportunity throughout the majority of the City, with only two census
tracts showing a moderate level of access to opportunity. No census tracts were shown as having the
lowest level of access to opportunity. The City should focus on increasing resources, housing
opportunity and encourage economic development in these areas.
+ The analysis of the TCAC/HCD opportunity Area Maps show that most census tracts in Newport Beach
are classified with the "Moderate Resource" "High Resource" or "Highest Resource" designation. This
indicates that these census tracts are within the top forty percent in the region in terms of areas that
lower-income residents may thrive if given the opportunity to live there. All but two census tracts within
Newport Beach register within the top 20 percent in the index. One census tract registered as a "Low
Resource" area, citing high economic opportunity and low educational opportunity.

+ The Opportunity Indices identify overall high access to quality resources including economic and job
proximity, educational access, and transportation access. However, there is a low health index,
indicating increased pollution and low environmental quality across all racial/ethnic groups in the City.
Additionally, the opportunity indices identify low affordable transportation options to both the Asian or
Pacific Islander (Non -Hispanic) and Native American (Non -Hispanic).
4. Analysis of Sites Pursuant to AB 686
AB 686 requires that jurisdictions identify sites throughout the community in a manner that is consistent
with its duty to affirmatively further fair housing. The site identification requirement involves not only an
analysis of site capacity to accommodate the RHNA (provided in Appendix B), but also whether the
identified sites serve the purpose of replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and
balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of
opportunity.
Figures 3-7 through 3-9 below identify the sites to accommodate future housing, as identified in the
adequate sites analysis, overlaid on demographic data using the 2018 American Community Survey 5 -year
Estimates.

Figure 3-7 shows the proposed candidate sites to meet the RHNA for Newport Beach in relation to the
location of residents of Hispanic origin. These sites take into consideration access to vital goods,
services, and public transportation and are therefore ideal areas for the City to focus much of its future
housing growth. It is anticipated that accessory dwelling unit (ADU) growth, including growth for
affordable ADUs, will occur in the less dense areas of the community. Figure 3-7 shows the following
findings:
+ 309 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 21,21956 potential units, or 94% of
the total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Hispanic below 20 percent.
+ 3 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 153 potential units, or 1% of the total
potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Hispanic between 20 and 40 percent.
+ 17 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 1,129 potential units, or S% of the
total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Hispanic between 40 and 60 percent.
+ 2 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 188 potential units, or 1% of the total
potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Hispanic between 60 and 80 percent.
The data shows that the proposed candidate sites to meet the very low and low-income RHNA
allocation are evenly dispersed throughout the community with an emphasis on locating units where
there is a high level of access to important public services and transit. The distribution of potential
units does not disproportionately impact areas with larger concentrations of the Hispanic population.

Figure 3-8 shows the proposed candidate sites to meet the RHNA for Newport Beach in relation with
census data showing the percentage of the population within each block group that is Non-white. Figure
3-8 shows the following findings:
+ 205 Droaosed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaline 13.170 Dotential units. or 56% of
the total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Non -White less than 20 Dercent.
+ 29 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 1,903 potential units, or 8% of the
total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Non -White between 20 and 40 percent.
+ 95 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 8,165 potential units, or 35% of the
total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Non -White between 40 and 60 percent.
+ 2 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 188 potential units, or 1% of the total
potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as Non -White between 60 and 80 percent.
The data shows that the Droaosed candidate sites to meet the very low and low-income RHNA allocation
are evenly dispersed throughout the community with an emphasis on locating units where there is a high
level of access to important public services and transit. The distribution of Dotential units does not
disproportionately impact areas with larger concentrations of Non-white populations.

Figure 3-9 shows location of proposed candidate sites to meet the RHNA for Newport Beach in in
comparison with census data showing the percentage of the population within each block group who is
categorized as low income or moderate by the American Community Survey. Figure 3-9 shows the
following findings:

identifies as low -and moderate -income between 10 and 25 percent.
+ 224 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 17,687 potential units, or 76% of
the total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as low -and moderate -income between 25 and 50 percent.
+ 44 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 3,529 potential units, or 15% of the
total potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as low -and moderate -income between 50 and 75 percent.
+ 2 proposed sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation (totaling 188 potential units, or 1% of the total
potential units) are located within block groups that have a percentage of the population that
identifies as low -and moderate -income greater than 75 percent.
The data shows that the proposed candidate sites to meet the very low and low-income RHNA allocation
are evenly dispersed throughout the community with an emphasis on locating units where there is a high
level of access to important public services and transit. The distribution of potential units provides
increased opportunities for low income housing in areas with higher rates of low-income persons.

5. Analysis of Fair Housing Priorities and Goals
To enhance mobility and promote inclusion for protected classes, the chief strategy included in this
housing element is to provide sites suitable for affordable housing in high -resource, high opportunity
areas, as demonstrated by the analysis of the housing resource sites contained in this section. Other
programs that affirmatively further fair housing include:
+ Policy Action 4A: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
+ Policy Action 7A: Supportive Housing / Low Barrier Navigation Centers
+ Policy Action 76: Transitional and Supportive Housing
+ Policy Action 7C: Housing for Persons with Developmental Disabilities

1. Regional Housing Needs Allocation
This section of the Housing Element provides an overview of the resources available to the City to meet
their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Residential Sites Inventory
Appendix B of the Housing Element includes the required site analysis tables and site information for the
vacant and non -vacant properties to meet the City's RHNA need through the 2021-2029 planning period.
The following discussions summarize the City's site inventory and rezone plan.
Above Moderate- and Moderate -Income Sites
For the 2021-2029 planning period, the City's RHNA allocation is 1,050 for moderate income site and 1,409
for above moderate -income sites. The City anticipates current planned growth,—,4a-projects already in
the approval process, to entirely meet the above moderate income need within the planning period. The
City will meet the moderate income need through a combination of existing capacity on residentially
zoned land, through the redevelopment of parcels rezoned within the focus areas, and through the
development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
A total of 348 moderate income and 40 above moderate -income units can be accommodated through
existing zoning capacity on parcels. By subtracting existing units from maximum potential unit yield per
parcel, the City projected additional capacity on several parcels. Each parcel included in the inventory was
then vetted for likelihood of redevelopment and to ensure all HCD criteria were met. The required
descriptive information for these sites can be found within Appendix B.
An additional 3320 moderate and above moderate -income units can be accommodated through the
development of ADUs throughout the community. This is based on the methodology described within

This section describes the methodology developed to determine the site capacity for the moderate and
above moderate -income sites. The City assumes that above moderate -income units will develop at a
maximum up eight dwelling units per acre, and that moderate -income units will develop at a maximum
of 26 dwelling units per acre. Reasonable capacity for sites identified to meet the City's moderate and
above moderate need was calculated based on a number of factors, including site size, existing zoning
requirements, vacancy and total number of units entitled, and the maximum density achievable for
projects within the following zones:
+ MU -MM - Mixed -Use Mariners' Mile: The MU -MM Zoning District is intended to provide areas for the
development of mixed-use structures that vertically integrate residential dwelling units above the
ground floor with retail uses including office, restaurant, and retail. The zone permits a density range of
20.1- 26.7 dwelling units per acre.
+ MU -W1- Mixed -Use Water: This zoning district applies to waterfront properties along the Mariners'
Mile Corridor in which nonresidential uses and residential dwelling units may be intermixed. A minimum
of fifty (50) percent of the allowed square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH 3-86

nonresidential uses in which marine -related and visitor -serving land uses are mixed. This zone permits
a density range of up to 15 dwelling units per acre.
+ MU -W2 — Mixed -Use Water: This zoning district applies to waterfront properties in which marine -
related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor -serving commercial and residential
dwelling units on the upper floors. This zone permits a density range of up to 15 dwelling units per acre.
+ MU -V — Mixed -Use Vertical: This zoning district is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the
development of mixed-use structures that vertically integrate residential dwelling units above the
ground floor with retail uses including office, restaurant, retail, and similar nonresidential uses located
on the ground floor or above.
+ MU-CV/15th Street — Mixed -Use Cannery Village and 15`h Street: This zoning district applies to areas
where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood containing multi -unit
residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures on interior lots of
Cannery Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses may include multi -unit dwelling
units; nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is restricted to
nonresidential uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight accommodations are
allowed above the ground floor and to the rear of uses along the street frontage. Mixed-use or
nonresidential structures are required on lots at street intersections and are allowed, but not required,
on other lots. This zone permits a density range of 20.1— 26.7 dwelling units per acre.
Potential constraints, to the extent they are known, such as environmentally sensitive areas and steep
slopes were considered, and deductions made where those factors decreased the net buildable area of a
parcel. Additionally, existing units' non -vacant parcels were analyzed to determine the number of existing
units currently on the parcel. Replacement of existing units was included as a factor to prevent no net
loss of existing housing stock.
Rez- --- 1,3 Arr:ommodate th- Moderat- anc4 ^ '4oder,-+e RHNA
In additional to residential use on specific plans and ADUs, the City of Newport Beach has identified 133
sites to be rezones from commercial use to residential use, as well as 90 sites to be rezoned to a higher
residential density. The sites for rezone are further detailed in Appendix B and a rezone program is
identified in Section 4: Housing Plan. Figure 3-10 displays the focus areas for rezone, accompanied by a
corresponding table of strategy information shown below as Table 3-19. The specific development

Development of Non -Vacant Sites and Converting to Residential Uses
To analyze the potential for redevelopment of non -vacant sites, the City sent out more than 500 letters
to property owners. Responses to the letters were recorded and are included within the inventory of sites
within Appendix B. Although a positive response to the redevelopment interest letters does not guaranty
the redevelopment of a parcel to residential as a primary use within the planning period, it is a strong
indicator of likelihood of redevelopment and is used as sufficient evidence for inclusion within the
Adequate Sites Inventory.

After the identification of projects in the pipeline and ADUs to accommodate the City's low and very low
RHNA, a remaining 2-,GM1,576 units must be accommodated to meet the City's RHNA. To account for this
remaining need, the City conducted a community -driven process to identify several parcels for inclusion
in the Adequate Sites Inventory. This process was led by the Housing Element Update Advisory Committee
(HEUAC). To guide the identification of adequate sites, the committee created focus areas Sites identified
by the committee and the public to meet the City's very low and low income RHNA were selected based
on the AB 1397 size requirements of at least 0.5 acres but not greater than 10 acres.
The 2-24-230 parcels are currently zoned as the following:
+ 1560 parcels are zoned non-residential
+ 744 parcels are zoned residentially at a lower density.
All parcels are non -vacant and will be rezoned to higher densities (densities are specific to each focus
area) able to accommodate the development of lower-income housing. Figure 3-11 below displays the
sites identified to accommodate the City's low and very low income RHNA allocation. The Housing Plan
section outlines actions the City will take to promote the development of affordable units within the
following focus areas:
+ Airport Vicinity Area
+ West Newport Mesa Area

REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION
Future Housing Needs
Future housing need refers to the share of the regional housing need that has been allocated to the City.
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) supplies a regional housing goal
number to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is then mandated to allocate
the housing goal to city and county jurisdictions in the region through a RHNA Plan. In allocating the
region's future housing needs to jurisdictions, SCAG is required to take the following factors into
consideration pursuant to Section 65584 of the State Government Code:
+ Market demand for housing.
+ Employment opportunities.
+ Availability of suitable sites and public facilities.
+ Commuting patterns.
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH
(DRAFT JUNE 30, APR4L-2021) 3-93
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
+ Type and tenure of housing.
+ Loss of units in assisted housing developments.
+ Over -concentration of lower income households.
+ Geological and topographical constraints.
HCD, through a determination process, allocates units to each region across California. It is then up to
each region to determine a methodology and process for allocating units to each jurisdiction within that
region. SCAG adopted its final Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA Plan) in February 2021. This
RHNA covers an 8 -year planning period (starting in 2021) and addresses housing issues that are related to
future growth in the region. The RHNA allocates to each city and county a "fair share" of the region's
projected housing needs by household income group. The major goal of the RHNA is to assure a fair
distribution of housing among cities and counties within the Southern California region, so that every
community provides an opportunity for a mix of housing for all economic segments.
Newport Beach's share of the SCAG regional growth allocation is 4,845 new units for the current planning
period (2021-2029). Table 3-22, Housing Needs for 2021-2029, indicates the City's RHNA need for the
stated planning period.

Note 1: Pursuant to AB 2634, local jurisdictions are also required to project the housing needs of extremely low-
income households (0-30% AMI). In estimating the number of extremely low-income households, a jurisdiction can
use 50% of the very low-income allocation or apportion the very low-income figure based on Census data.
ADEQUACY OF SITES FOR RHNA
The City of Newport Beach has a total 2021-2029 RHNA allocation of 4,845 units. The City is able to take
credit for 1,591 units currently within the planning process (Projects in the Pipeline), 388 units of 5t" Cycle
Sites being projected at existing buildout capacity, and 1,000 units of ADU's (addressed in Appendix B and
in Appendix D). These three categories of existing capacity lower the total RHNA planning need to a
"remaining Need" of 1,988 units as shown in Table 3-23. The Housing Element update lists sites that
would be able to accommodate an additional 6,140 units, well in excess of the remaining 1,988 unit RHNA
need.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
Newport Beach has identified sites with a capacity to accommodate 2,702 lower income dwelling units,
which is in excess of its 2,386 -unit lower income housing need. The identified sites for lower income
dwelling units are on parcels that will permit residential development as a primary use at a base density
of between 30 and 60 dwelling units per acre and at an assumed density of between 50 and 60 dwelling
units per acre.
As described in Appendix B, the City believes that due to recent State legislation and local efforts to
promote accessory dwelling unit (ADU) production, the City can realistically anticipate the development
of 1,000 ADUs within the 8 -year planning period. As laid out in the Sites Inventory within Appendix B,
the City has compiled an inventory of sites for rezone that, combined, have development potential to
wholly exceed and maintain the capacity to accommodate the RHNA Allocation throughout the 8 -year
planning period. Overall, the City has adequate capacity to accommodate its 2021-2029 RHNA.

Summary of Sites Inventory and RHNA Obligations
The data and map detailed in Figure 3-11 above shows the City of Newport Beach's ability to meet the
4,845 RHNA allocation in full capacity with a 5,044a 4,274 -unit buffer. Along with the identifying
appropriate sites to meet the current and future housing needs, the City has established a Housing Plan
to support its efforts in providing housing opportunities for all income levels in Newport Beach.
2. Financial Resources
Providing an adequate supply of decent and affordable housing requires funding from various sources,
the City has access to the following finding sources.
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a Federal government program to assist very low-
income families, the elderly, and the disabled with rent subsidy payments in privately owned rental
housing units. Section 8 participants can choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program
and are not limited to units located within subsidized housing projects. They typically pay 30 to 40 percent
of their income for rent and utilities. The Orange County Housing Authority administers Section 8 Housing
Choice vouchers within the City of Newport Beach. As of October 30, 2020, the City has allocated 112

t
Section 8 vouchers to residents within the community: 30 for families, 20 for persons with disabilities, and
62 for seniors.
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides annual grants on a formula basis to
cities to develop viable urban communities by providing a suitable living environment and by expanding
economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons (up to 80 percent AMI).
CDBG funds can be used for a wide array of activities, including:
+ Housing rehabilitation.
+ Lead-based paint screening and abatement.
+ Acquisition of buildings and land.
+ Construction or rehabilitation of public facilities and infrastructure, and:
+ Public services for low income households and those with special needs.
According to the Federal regulations, the City of Newport Beach is allowed to spend no more than of 20%
of CDBG funding on program administration, and 15% on community services such as senior meal delivery
or homeless prevention programs. The remaining amount must be used other eligible projects that meet
national objectives that principally benefit low- and moderate -income households or the disabled.
HUD requires Newport Beach to complete a Five -Year Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) to receive HUD's
formula grant programs. The Con Plan identifies the City's 5 -year strategies related to priority needs in
housing, homelessness, community development, and economic development. It also identifies short -
and long-term goals and objectives, strategies, and timetables for achieving its goals. Developed with the
input of citizens and community groups, the Con Plan serves four basic functions:
+ It is a planning document for the community built upon public participation and input.
+ It is the application for funds under the CDBG Program.
+ It articulates local priorities.
+ It is a five-year strategy the City will follow in implementing HUD programs.
Additionally, HUD requires the City to prepare a One -Year Action Plan for each of the five years covered
by the Con Plan. The City of Newport Beach reports a total of $372,831 CDBG funds from HUD in the 2020-
2021 Action Plan. In same report, the City reports an anticipated $2.07 million of CDBG resources during
the five-year period from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2025.
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
The HOME program provides federal funds for the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental
and ownership housing for households with incomes not exceeding 80 percent of area median income.

The program gives local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range of affordable housing activities
through housing partnerships with private industry and non-profit organizations. HOME funds can be used
for activities that promote affordable rental housing and homeownership by low income households. The
City of Newport Beach does not currently receive HOME funds.
3. Opportunities for Energy Conservation
Cnnrivv Ilcn �",4 DeA;A^eY
The primary uses of energy in urban areas are for transportation lighting, water heating, and space heating
and cooling. The high cost of energy demands that efforts be taken to reduce or minimize the overall level
of urban energy consumption. Energy conservation is important in preserving non-renewable fuels to
ensure that these resources are available for use by future generations. There are also a number of
benefits associated with energy conservation including improved air quality and lower energy costs.
Southern California Gas Company (SCG) provides natural gas service for the City. Natural gas is a "fossil
fuel" and is a non-renewable resource. Most of the major natural gas transmission pipelines within the
City are owned and operated by SCG. SCG has the capacity and resources to deliver gas except in certain
situations that are noted in state law. As development occurs, SCG will continue to extend its service to
accommodate development and supply the necessary gas lines. Electricity is provided on an as -needed
basis to customers within existing structures in the City. Southern California Edison Company (SCE) is the
distribution provider for electricity in Newport Beach. Currently, SCE has no immediate plans for
expansion of infrastructure, as most of the City is built out. However, every year SCE expands and
improves existing facilities according to demand
FnArnv rnncPrvatin,--
The City's energy goals, stated in the Natural Resources Element of the General Plan, make every effort
to conserve energy in the City thus reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The City's policies relating to
energy include increasing energy efficiency in City facilities and operations and in private developments
and reducing the City's reliance on fossil fuels. In order to reach the City's goals, objectives include the
following:
+ Develop incentives that encourage the use of energy conservation strategies by private and public
developments,
+ Promote energy-efficient design features,
+ Promote or provide incentives for "Green Building" programs that go beyond the requirements of Title
24 of the California Administrative Code and encourage energy efficient design elements as appropriate
to achieve "green building" status; and,
Section 3: Housing Constraints, Resources, and AFFH
(DRAFT JUNE 30, APR4L-2021) 3-99
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
+ Provide incentives for implementing Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) certified
building such as fee waivers, bonus densities, and/or awards recognition programs. 13
The City of Newport Beach's Energy Action Plan (EAP) is identified as a roadmap for the City of Newport
Beach to reduce GHG through reductions in energy used in facility buildings and operations. According to
the City's EAP, the City's long-term vision for energy efficiency focusses on the following objectives:
+ Reduce the City's carbon footprint and its adverse effect on the environment
+ Conserve energy at the local government facilities
+ Raise energy conservation awareness in local community and improve the quality of life
Currently, the City of Newport Beach has developed the "Building Green" construction manual, created
by the City's Task Force on Green Development. The City has also enacted a City-wide streetlight LED
replacement program, replacing 400 units to date, and is continuing marketing. Education, and outreach
to the community regarding every efficiency and conservation.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
The Housing Plan describes the City of Newport Beach 2021-2029 policy program. The Housing Plan
describes the specific goals, policies, and programs to assist City decision makers to achieve the long-term
housing objectives set forth in the Newport Beach Housing Element. This Plan identifies goals, policies,
and programs aimed at providing additional housing opportunities, removing governmental constraints
to affordable housing, improving the condition of existing housing, and providing equal housing
opportunities for all residents. These goals, policies, and programs further the City's overall housing policy
goal to encourage a more diverse, sustainable, and balanced community through implementation of
strategies and programs that will result in economically and socially diversified housing choices that
preserve and enhance the special character of Newport Beach.
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has conducted a Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) to determine the City's share of the affordable housing needs for the Orange County
region. The RHNA quantifies Newport Beach's local share housing needs for the region by income
category. Income categories are based on the most current Median Family Income (MFI) for Orange
County. The current 20210 MFI (for an assumed family of 4 persons) for Orange County is $106-3,7000.
The MFI may change periodically, as it is updated on an annual basis. The City's 2021-2029 RHNA growth
need of 4,845 housing units is allocated into the following income categories:
• 1,456 units -Very low income (0-50% County MFI)
• 930 units - Low income (51-80% of County MFI)
• 1,050 units - Moderate income (81-120% of County MFI)
• 1,409 units - Above moderate income (120% or more of County MFI)
A. Housing Goals
The City of Newport Beach has identified the following housing goals as part of this Housing Element
Update:
Housing Goal #1: Provision of adequate sites to accommodate projected housing unit growth needs
identified by the 2021-2029 RHNA.
Housing Goal #2: Quality residential development and the preservation, conservation, and appropriate
redevelopment of housing stock.

Housing Goal #6: Housing opportunities for special needs populations.
Housing Goal #7: Equal housing opportunities in the City for all people.
Housing Goal #8: Effective and responsive housing programs and policies.
The goals listed above are described below and on following pages with accompanying policies and
programs to achieve them.
Housing Policies and Program Actions
This Housing Element expresses the Newport Beach community's overall housing goals and supporting
policies and program actions to achieve them. The stated Housing Program Actions are based on a review
of past performance of the 5th Cycle Housing Element, analysis of current constraints and resources, and
input from Newport Beach residents and stakeholders.
Housing Goal #1
Provision of adequate sites to accommodate projected housing unit growth needs.
Housing Policy 1.1: identify a variety of sites to accommodate housing growth need by income categories
to serve the needs of the entire community.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
Adequate Sites to Accommodate 2021-2029 RHNA
The City of Newport Beach has a total Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 4,845
units. State law requires the City of Newport Beach to identify adequate sites to accommodate its fair
share allocation for the 6th Cycle Housing Element. This City has identified a variety of candidate sites
through extensive analysis in collaboration with the community and stakeholder through Newport
Together' s "Listen and Learn" process, multiple meetings of the City's Housing Element Update Advisory
Committee (Committee), participation by interested residents at a variety of Heusing C^mmittee public
meetings, workshops, and consultation with property owners. The City of Newport Beach has identified
an adequate amount of land that was determined by the Committee as "Feasible" or "Potentially Feasible"
for future development. Only a portion of these candidate sites will be necessary to accommodate the
City's RHNA planning obligation. These sites have undergone a rigorous process to evaluate site features,
development potential, developer/owner interest and other factors to deem them appropriate for
housing during the 2021-2029 Planning Period.
As part of the analysis of adequate sites, the City has comprehensively reviewed opportunity sites citywide
and have identify eight primary areas of opportunity:
• Airport Area Environs • Newport Center
• West Newport Mesa • Banning Ranch
• Dover/Westcliff • Coyote Canyon
Section 4: Housing Plan (DRAFT MARCH UNE 302021) 4-3
City of Newport Beach- P
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
• 5th Cycle Housing Element Sites • Accessory Dwelling Units
Since the City has identified several opportunity sites in the 5th Cycle that will be utilized in the 6th Cycle
Housing Element, additional policy considerations that -are stated in this Policy Program_
These opportunities sites are described in map and tabular format in Appendix B of this Housing Element.
Each of the opportunity areas described in this Housing Element have been assigned a targeted acreage,
and a targeted number of new housing units (see following implementing Policy Action statements).
Collectively, these targets must meet the unmet RHNA need as required by State law. It is expected there
may be deviations from the targets with future implementing zoning actions. New opportunity sites may
be 4^ Qidentified, and other sites may be deemed unsuitable or densities may be modified, all based
on new information received over time. The City may adopt future zoning strategies that are more or less
than the identified targets in this Housing Element provided the total unmet RHNA need by income
eategary iscategorV is accommodated within state -defined deadlines. If future zoning strategies deviate
from the targets expressed in this Housing Element but still meet the requirement to identify adequate
sites to accommodate unmet RHNA need, no amendment to the Housing Element would be required and
deviations of any magnitude may be considered subject to the City Council's review and approval in
consultation with the Community.

Housing Goal #3
A variety of housing types, designs, and opportunities for all social and economic segments.
Housing Policy 3.1: Encourage preservation of existing and provision of new housing affordable to
extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income households.
Housing Policy 3.2: Encourage housing developments to offer a wide spectrum of housing choices,
designs, and configurations.
IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS
Policy Action 3A: Objective Design Standards
State Housing law includes various exemptions for projects with an affordable housing component, which
limits the City's ability to apply discretionary design review requirements to certain residential projects.
State Housing law specifies having objective design standards available to apply to housing projects where
the City's discretion over design review is otherwise preempted per State law. The City of Newport Beach
will review existing entitlement processes for housing development and will eliminate discretionary
review for all housing development proposals that include a minimum affordable housing component.
The City will also review the appropriateness of its current development standards to ensure that it
reasonably accommodates the type and density of housing it is intended to support. The City will also
amend existing development standards to replace or remove all subjective standards for projects with a
minimum affordable housing component with apprepriateobjective standards to—swppeAthat do not
impede the type and density of housing it is intended to allow.

Policy Action 4A: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Pursuant to AB 686, Chapter 958, Statutes 2018, the City will affirmatively further fair housing by taking
meaningful actions in addition to resisting discrimination, that overcomes patterns of segregation and
fosters inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected
classes, as defined by State law.
To accomplish this, the City or designated contracted organization will collaborate with local and regional
organizations to review any housing discrimination complaints, assist in dispute resolution, and, where
necessary, refer complainants to appropriate state or federal agencies for further investigation, action, and
resolution.
Section 3 of this Housing Element contains an analysis of fair housing activities in Newport Beach and the
Orange County region. The analysis found that:
Section 4: Housing Plan (DRAFTMA,, A°CH JUNE 302021) 4-15
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
► The City does not have any racial or ethnic groups that score higher than 60 on the dissimilarity
index, indicating that while there are racial and ethnic groups with higher levels of segregation
than others within Newport Beach, none meet the standard score to identify segregated
groups.
► The City does not have any racially or ethnically concentrated census tracts (R/ECAPs) as
identified by HUD. This indicates that there are no census tracts within Newport Beach with a
non-white population of 50 percent or more or any census tracts that have a poverty rate that
exceeds 40 percent or is three or more times the average tract poverty rate for the
metropolitan/micropolitan area. However, one R/ECAP was identified in the neighboring City
of Irvine, near the University of California Irvine. This will be considered in the housing plan as
students within the R/ECAP may look for housing in Newport Beach.
► The UC Davis Regional Opportunity Index shows that most residents within Newport Beach
have a high level of access to opportunity throughout the majority of the City, with only two
census tracts showing a moderate level of access to opportunity. No census tracts were shown
as having the lowest level of access to opportunity.
► The analysis of the TCAC/HCD opportunity Area Maps shows that most census tracts in
Newport Beach are classified with the "Moderate Resource" "High Resource" or "Highest
Resource" designation. This indicates that these census tracts are within the top 40 percent in
the region in terms of areas that lower-income residents may thrive if given the opportunity
to live there. All but two census tracts within Newport Beach register within the top 20 percent
in the index. One census tract registered as a "Low Resource" area, citing high economic
opportunity and low educational opportunity.
► The Opportunity Indices identify overall high access to quality resources including economic
and job proximity, educational access, and transportation access. However, there is a low
health index, indicating increased pollution and low environmental quality across all
racial/ethnic groups in the City. Additionally, the opportunity indices identify low affordable
transportation options to both the Asian or Pacific Islander (Non -Hispanic) and Native
American (Non -Hispanic).
The City will continue to collaborate with the community, stakeholders, and appropriate organizations to
address potential constraints to fair housing. This may include, but not limited to:
• Analysis and identification of barriers to entry into homeownership or rental opportunities,
• Review of historic policies or restrictions that may have prevented and/or may still prevent
disadvantaged groups from locating in Newport Beach,
• Specific actions that contribute to Newport Beach's ability to foster a more inclusive community

Policy Action 7C: Housing for Persons with Developmental Disabilities
The housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities are typically not fully addressed by local
zoning regulations. Persons with disabilities may require, in addition to basic affordability, slight
modifications to existing units, and in some instances, a varying range of supportive housing facilities. To
accommodate residents with developmental disabilities, the City will review and prioritize housing
construction and rehabilitation including supportive services targeted for persons with developmental
disabilities.
Newport Beach will also explore the granting of regulatory incentives, such as expedited permit
processing, and fee waivers and deferrals, to projects targeted for persons with developmental
disabilities. To further facilitate the development of units to accommodate persons with developmental
disabilities, the City will encourage development of projects targeted for special needs groups. As housing
is developed or identified, Newport Beach will collaborate with the Regional Center of Orange County
(RCOC) to implement an outreach program informing families within the City of housing and services
available for persons with developmental disabilities. The City will provide information at City Hall and on
the City's website.

The Housing Element is required to identify potential candidate housing sites by income category to meet
the City's RHNA Allocation. The sites identified within the Housing Element represent the City's ability to
plan for housing at the designated income levels within the 6th housing cycle planning period (2021-2029).
These sites are either residentially zoned or within a specific plan area or urban plan that permits
residential uses at a minimum of 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). As described in this appendix, the
development capacity for each site depends largely on its location within a "Focus Area". It should be
noted that the sites evaluated here explicitly identify sites that have a favorable chance of redevelopment
in the planning period. The actual number of sites subject to future rezone and the actual unit yield, by
income category, on each site may vary. The intent of the identification of sites in this Appendix shall
provide justification of the availability of sites to accommodate the 2021-2029 RHNA need at all times
during the planning period.
As Dart of the site selection process. Letters of interest were sent out to all orooerty owners within each
Focus Area. Where l3essibk-,pProperty owners were consulted to help the City better understand
potential future housing growth on candidate housing sites within the City. Additionally, some property
owners contacted the City requesting to be added and other requested their removal from consideration.
Those reauests were eranted by the Citv and are reflected in the site analvsis contained herein.
This appendix contains Tables B-8 through B-18, whk--h-identifying each candidate housing site within
Newport Beach's sites inventory. The sites are identified by assessor parcel number (APN) as well as a

1. Candidate Sites Analysis Process
The City of Newport Beach conducted a community driven Candidate Sites Analysis process beginning in
2019 with Newport, Together and concluding in 2021 with the work of the Housing Element Update
Advisory Committee.
Newport, Together
Newport, Together is a community-based effort that included a -Listen and Learn process to guide and
inform a future General Plan Update. As a component of the General Plan Update, the Steering Committee
identified the need to share information on the state -mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) housing allocation for Newport Beach. A key activity during outreach meetings for Phase I included
a presentation on RHNA and an activity designed to allow participants to create a heat map identifying
potential locations to zone for state -mandated housing allocations. Completed in the Fall of 2019, the
Listen & Learn process included digital engagement, a launch event, and a workshop series in each of the
seven council districts. The heat map of potential rezoning locations developed by the community, shown
below, was the starting point for the work of the Housing Element Update Advisory Committee (HEAUC).

Housing Element Update Advisory Committee and Identification of
Candidate Sites
Following the efforts of Newport, Together, the Candidate Sites Analysis process in Newport Beach was
continued by the Housing Element Update Advisory Committee (HEUACee). The creation of the
HEUA eewas also the beginning of the formal Housing Element Update development process. The
HEUACee is comprised of a variety of professionals with relevant experience in affordable
housing development and financing, housing policy, local development, environmental matters and
community engagement. The primary role of the HEUACee was to provide analysis and feedback
on the selection of sites to be included in the Adequate Sites Inventory. The Purpose & Responsibilities of
the committee are as follows:
+ Ensure there is sufficient public outreach and stakeholder input regarding the update to the Housing
and Land Use Elements of the City of Newport Beach General Plan and any other Elements deemed
necessary;
+ Review responses to the Request for Proposal for services to update the Housing, Land Use, and other
Elements deemed necessarv:
+ Make recommendations to the Citv Council reeardine the selection of consultants to assist in the update
of the Housing, Land Use, and other Elements deemed necessary;
+ Provide guidance to City staff and the consultant through the outreach process;
+ Provide guidance to City staff, and the consultant, on goals and policies related to the update of the
Housing, Land Use, and any other Elements deemed necessary by the Committee or City Council; and
+ Make other recommendations to the City Council regarding the update of the General Plan, as
necessary.
Based on the heat map developed by the community during the Listen &a -R4 Learn, The HEAUC identified
"Focus Areas" for housing development, which are detailed in this document. Within each Focus Area,
subcommittees of the Committee assigned parcels a feasibility rating ("Infeasible", "Potentially Feasible",
or "Feasible") — analyzing the parcel's propensity to redevelop during the planning period. For each of the
Focus Areas. the HEAUC assiened area -specific Subcommittees to analvze all sites within the area for
feasibility. Feasibility was assessed as follows:
+ Feasible sites are those that appear that they could feasibly be redeveloped for housing or have housing
added to the Parcel while the current use remains in whole or in part.
+ Potentially Feasible sites are those that may work as housing, but due to the size and/or configuration
of a Parcel, or the quality and functionality of existing improvements, a Parcel might be somewhat less
likely to be a candidate for a housing use. Potentially Feasible sites may also include Parcels that would

g
be infeasible standing alone, but if combined with adjacent the Parcel(s) could become part of a
potential housing site.
+ Infeasible sites are those that the Subcommittee determined would not work as housing due to existing
improvements on the site, insufficient size, and or inefficiencies due to the configuration of the Parcel.
Each site was also evaluated by the Subcommittees considering factors such as:
+ Access to schools and iobs
+ Access to parks, services, health care facilities and grocery stores
+ Proximity to infrastructure and utilities
Each Subcommittee comaleted technical memorandums summarizing the detailed. parcel-bv-parcel
analysis completed to assess feasibility within each Focus Area. The City then sent letters to each property
owner whose property was deemed "Feasible" or "Potentially Feasible" for residential development by
the HEUAC -e. Responses to these letters are captured as evidence to reinforce
likelihood for redevelopment within Tables B-8 through B-18.
As shown within the following images, the Focus Areas and Candidate Sites identified by the HEAUC align

The Housing Element is reauired to identifv sites by income category to meet the Citv's RHNA Allocation.
The sites identified within the Housing Element represent the City's ability to develop housing at the
designated income levels within the planning period (2021-2029). These sites are (i) residentially zoned
but for which no project has been proposed, (ii) have been entitled for a residential development project
(but will not yet have received building permits and a certificate of occupancy by June 30, 2021) or (iii)
have been identified for (a) a rezone to a residential use from a non-residential use, or (b) for an overlay
to enable a housing use in addition to or in the Dlace of a non-residential use.
A summary of this information is included within the Housing Resources section (Section 3) of the City's
2021-2029 Housing Element.
Table B-1 shows the City's 2021-2029 RHNA need by income category as well as a summary of the sites
identified to meet that need. The analysis shows that the City of Newport Beach has the capacity to meet
its 2021-2029 RHNA allocation through a variety of methods, including:
+ Identification of additional increased capacity on existing. residentiallv zoned sites
+ Identification of residential Drooerty for rezone to higher-densitv residential Drimary use
+ Identification of non-residential property for rezone to residential primary use
+ Development of approved projects which do not have certificates of occupancy
+ Future development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs)

Water, Sewer, And Dry Utility Availability
Each site has been evaluated to ensure there is adequate access to water and sewer connections as well
as dry utilities. Each site is situated with a direct connection to a public street that has the appropriate
water and sewer mains and other infrastructure to service the candidate site.
The City's Sewer System Management Plan provides for the identification of sewer system distribution
throughout the community. All sites identified in the sites inventory have existing sewer system capacity
and a sewer system capacity assurance plan is provide as part of the Management Plan to ensure the
availability of future capacity citywide. Threshold criteria have been adopted to trigger any capacity
enhancements necessary based upon changes to land use and other considerations.
The City's Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plan addresses stormwater management throughout the
City as it provides for the identification and management of facilities to manage stormwater throughout
the community. According to the City's Runoff Management Plan, facilities and mitigations for potential
peak stormwater flows are not deemed a constraint to future residential development.
The Newport Beach Utilities Department, the Municipal Water District of Orange County, and the Irvine
Ranch Water District provide water service and management of the City's potable water system. As a
built -out community, the City's existing water system services all areas within the City limits through
various trunk lines and mains. Fire flow considerations are the primary factor in determining the adequacy
of service for future residential development. The City conducts regular monitoring of the water system
in the community and provides for system upgrades via capital improvement program to ensure
continued adequate water availability and service to existing and future planned residential development.
Southern California Gas Company provides natural gas services to the City of Newport Beach. SoCal Gas
is a gas -only utility and, in addition to serving the residential, commercial, and industrial markets, provides
gas for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and EG customers in Southern California. Southern California Edison
(SCE) is the electrical service provider for Newport Beach. SCE is regulated by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and includes 50,000 square
miles of SCE service area across Central, Coastal, and Southern California. SCE will continue to provide
adequate services to Newport Beach including increased household growth as projected by the City's
RHNA allocation.
In accordance with the California Public Utilities Commission all electric and gas service will be provided
for future development in Newport Beach as requested. SoCal Gas and Southern California Edison
regularly partner with the City to provide services and obtain authorization to construct any required
facilities. The City has a mature energy distribution system that will be able to add additional service
connections for future residential land uses.

The City of Newport Beach has a total 2021-2029 RHNA allocation of 4,845 units. The City is able to take
credit for 1,591 units currently within the planning process (Projects in the Pipeline), 388 units of 5t" Cycle
Sites being proiected at existing buildout capacity. and 1.000 units of ADU's (addressed later in this section
and in Appendix D). These three categories of existing capacity lower 4ngthe total RHNA planning need
to a "Remaining Need" of 1,988 units as shown in Table B-1. The Housing Element update lists sites that
would be able to accommodate as many as ° 1 °an additional 6,140 units, well in excess of the remaining
1,988 unit RHNA need.
Newport Beach has identified sites with a capacity to accommodate 2,702 lower income dwelling units,
which is in excess of its 2.386 -unit lower income housing need. The identified sites for lower income
dwelling units are on parcels that will permit residential development as a primary use at a base density
of between 30 and 60 dwelling units per acre and at an assumed density of between 50 and 60 dwelling
units per acre.
As described later in this section, the City believes that due to recent State legislation and local efforts to
promote accessory dwelling unit (ADU) production, the City can realistically anticipate the development
of 1,000 ADUs within the 8 -year planning period. As laid out in the Sites Inventory later in this document,
the Citv has compiled an inventory of sites for rezone that. combined. have development potential to
whollv exceed and maintain the capacity to accommodate the RHNA Allocation throughout the 8-vear

B-8 through Table B-18.
Appendix B: Sites Analysis B-8

Projects in the Pipeline
The City has identified a number of projects currently in, or that have completed the entitlement process
which are likely to be developed and/or first occupied during the planning period and count as credit
towards the 2021-2029 RHNA allocation. Projects with planned affordable components include:
+ Newport Airport Village
+ Residences at 4400 Von Karman
+ Newport Village Mixed-use
+ West Coast Highway Mixed -Use
+ Newport Crossings
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
In areas such as Newport Beach where land values are high and there is a large amount of single-family
detached housing, ADUs present a potentially more naturally affordable housing option for renters. ADUs
are often smaller in size than typical aapartments or rental housing, ranging from 300 to 600 square
feet in size. They are also attractive to property owners who are able to gain rental income. Based on the
unique land values and policy planning in the City of Newport Beach, the City identified a total of 1,000
units of ADU development assumed to be developed for the 8 years
The City of Newport Beach believes that ADUs present a viable option as part of the overall strategy to
develop housing at all income levels during the 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period.
Appendix D describes:
• Recent ADU legislation and regional actions,
• Local factors that may increase ADU development over the next eight years, and
• Actions Newport Beach will take through housing programs to incentivizing ADU development
As part of the sites analysis found within this Appendix, the City has accounted for future ADU and JADU
production using the City's 2020 peFfaFmanrete Ra;= the methodology and rationale described in
Appendix D of this Housing Element . SCAG conducted a regional analysis of current market rents that can
be used to assign ADUs to income categories in Sixth Cycle Housing Elements, the analysis surveyed,
market rents of 158 existing ADUs. The analysis then determined the proportion of ADUs within each
income category for both one-person and two -person households and made assumptions for what
percentage of ADUs are rented for free based on existing literature and allocate those towards Extremely
Low Income. Finally, the analysis combined rented and non -rented ADUs into single affordability
breakdown by county. Newport Beach utilized SCAGs affordability assumptions for ADUs in Orange
County. This equates to an anticipated ADU development of 1,000 ADUs over the next 8 years, 680 of
which are anticipated to be affordable. The ADUs not designated to meet the City's lower income RHNA
need are anticipated to be 300 affordable at moderate income levels and 20 affordable at the above

Selection of Sites to Accommodate Remaining Need
Sites identified to meet the City's very low and low income RHNA were selected in consideration the AB
1397 size requirements of at least 0.5 acres but not greater than 10 acres. Based on a public process, sites
were selected based on their realistic viability to accommodate lower income housing within the 2021-
2029 planning period.
Sites were also evaluated based on access to resources, proximity to additional residential development,
transportation and major streetway access, and resources and opportunity indicators. Section 3:
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, outlines all fair housing, opportunity indicators, and environmental
resources in Newport Beach.
The City has identified sites with capacity to accommodate the City's 2021-2029 RHNA. This capacity is
based on a rezone strategy for several Focus Areas throughout the City. These Focus Areas are as follows:
+ Airport Area Environs
+ West Newport Mesa Area
+ Dover -Westcliff Area
+ Newport Center Area
+ Coyote Canyon Area
+ Banning Ranch Area
The City has analyzed potential capacity based on rezone strategies specific to each area. Each of the
following sections describes the identified areas and contains a table of redevelopment assumptions and

projected unit capacities. Additionally, each Focus Area is followed by a map detailing the adequate sites
inventory, organized by area.
Through a public process, the City has assessed the feasibility of parcels in the Focus Areas to redevelop
residentiallv during the planning period. Those Darcels deemed Feasible were then analvzed to ensure
compliance with HCD's criteria for sites designated to accommodate lower income development
including sizing criteria). The inventory of feasible acreage for redevelopment within each Focus Area was
developed with this process. Table B-3 below summarizes the key statistics for the rezone strategies for
all Focus Areas. The specific development assumptions (both on affordability and overall development
potential) that produce the Potential Units are described, area -by -area, in the Sites Inventory of this
document.

The Citv's recent history of granting entitlement to residential uses with affordable units is shown below:
+ Newport Airport Village
+ Residences at 4400 Von Karman
+ Newport Village Mixed -Use
+ West Coast Highway Mixed -Use
+ Newport Crossings
These projects show that affordable units can be developed at theseis densitiesy. The Section 4: Housing
Plan outlines actions the City will take to promote the development of affordable units within the Focus
Areas.
Calculation of Unit Capacity
Taking into account development standards, unit capacity for sites identified to accommodate low and
very low units was calculated by multiplying the net acreage of the site by the assumed density established
for each focus area. Depending on the Focus Area, the City assumes that each identified site will develop
Appendix B: Sites Analysis B-11
City of Newport Beach -AW7,�- - - -
2 21-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT x;
with between 35% and 40% affordable units. To support this assumption, the City has identified programs
and policies to encourage developer interest and financial feasibility. These programs and policies are
detailed in Section 4: Housing Plan. Additionally, based on previous development trends, the City assigned
each Focus Area a percentage of its land area which the City projects to redevelop — meaning the
percentage of land area within each Focus Area. which is expected to "turn over". or develop with
residential units during the planning period.

4. Development of Moderate and Above Moderate Sites Inventory
This section contains a description and listing of the candidate sites identified to meet the City's moderate
and above moderate income RHNA need. A full list of these sites is presented in Tables B-8 through 13-
18.
Projects in the Pipeline
The City has identified a number of prooects currentlV in the entitlements Rrocess which are likely to be
developed and/or first occupied during the planning period and count as credit towards the 2021-2029
RHNA allocation. Notablv. Proiects in the Pipeline can completely accommodate the Citv's Above
Moderate RHNA allocation. Table B-4 below summarizes the Dotenilal units from Proiects in the Pipeline:
Moderate Income Above Moderate Income
Pipeline Prolectsunits 1,471 units
Accessory Dwellina Units for Moderate anx6ove NMrate Income
Households
As noted in Section 3 of this Appendix, the City anticipates a total of 300 ADUs affordable at moderate
income levels and 20 ADUs affordable at the above moderate -income level. The ADU production strategV
for the City is thoroughly described in Appendix D: Accessory DwPiling U

income households for the ear 1-2029 as well addle Cit 's net RHNA allocation need affordable to

Selection of Sites to#Accommodate Remaining Need
As noted in Seckpn 3 of this fppendix, the City conducted a public process to establish Focus Areas for
rezone. Similar to the strateeies laid out for lower income units. the development of moderate and above
moderate units was projected within each Focus Area as well. Although the specific buildout assumptions
(both on affordability and overall development potential) that produce the Potential Units are described,

Airport Area Environs
The Airport Area Environs has been an active area for development in the City for several years. The
development of higher -density residential units within this Focus Area can be expected to accommodate
lower income units. Increasing density within the Airport Area was also a key strategy as part of the City's
4th and 5th Cycle Housing Element Updates.
Of the 223 acres of land deemed suitable for residential development in the Airport Area, 165 acres met
the criteria required by AB 1397 for sites projected to accommodate Low and Very Low -Income units.
Although the parcels within the Sites Inventory have the capacity to accommodate 7,715 units of
development (at an assumed unit yield of 50 du/ac), an assumption of approlimately 17% redevelopment
has been applied considering development history, economic factors, and AFFH requirements. The
assumed buildout is therefore projected at 1,400 units, 462 of which are projected to develop affordablye.
Table B-73 below displays the capacity and opportunity in this Focus Area which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-3-1 below maps the sites identified within this Focus Area which can
help accommodate a portion of the City's RHNA allocation.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
-West Newport Mesa Area
West Newport Mesa has been identified by the City as a reinvestment and redevelopment opportunity,
where older industrial, smaller scale development can transition to support future residential
development. The adjacent Hoag hospital and supportive medical -related activities supports the
opportunity to provide housing for local workers of various income levels.
Of the 55 acres of land deemed suitable for residential development in the West Newport Mesa Area, 48
acres met the criteria required by AB 1397 for sites projected to accommodate Low and Very Low -Income
units. Although the parcels within the Sites Inventory have the capacity to accommodate 2,000 units of
development (at an assumed unit yield of 50 du/ac), an assumptionfK 24% redevelopment
has been applied considering development history, economic factors, and AFFH requirements. The
assumed buildout is therefore projected at 580 units, 203 of which are projected to develop affordablye.
Table B-9-5 below displays the capacity and opportunity in this Focus Area which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-4-5 below maps the sites identified within this Focus Area which can
help accommodate the City's RHNA allocation.

Appendix B: Sites Analysis (PRAFT APRIL 2021) B_42
City of Newport Beach -
2421-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT _- - -
)over -Westcliff Area
Dover -Westcliff has been identified as an area with opportunity to support increased density that is
compatible with adjacent higher density residential uses and other uses that will support residential
development.
Of the 29 acres of land deemed suitable for residential development in the Dover -Westcliff Area, 20 acres
met the criteria required by AB 1397 for sites projected to accommodate Low and Very Low -Income units.
Although the parcels within the Sites Inventory have the capacity to accommodate 800 units of
development (at an assumed unit yield of 50 du/ac), an assumption of approximately 24% redevelopment
has been applied considering development history, economic factors, and AFFH requirements. The
assumed buildout is therefore projected at 242 units, 73 of which are projected to develop affordablye.
Table B-11-7 below displays the capacity and opportunity in this Focus Area which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-5-7 below maps the sites identified within this Focus Area which can
help accommodate the City's RHNA allocation.

City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
Newport Center has recently had construction of several new residential developments. The City expects
the continuation of these development opportunities that creates housing adjacent to major employment
opportunities and support retail.
Of the 432 acres of land deemed suitable for residential development in the Airport Area UP;;, 163 acres
met the criteria required by AB 1397 for sites projected to accommodate Low and Very Low -Income units.
Although the parcels within the Sites Inventory have the capacity to accommodate 2-,9AA8,160 units of
development (at an assumed unit yield of 50 du/ac), an assumption of approximately 2417%
redevelopment has been applied considering development history, economic factors, and AFFH
requirements. The assumed buildout is therefore projected at 1,388 units, 458 of which are projected to
develop affordablye.
Table B-139 below displays the capacity and opportunity in this Focus Area which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-6-9 below maps the sites identified within this Focus Area which can
accommodate the City's RHNA allocation.

Coyote "anyon ^
Coyote Canyon property is mostly a closed landfill area with limited opportunities for active uses.
However, a portion of the property is not subject to these restrictions and is considered an ideal
opportunity for future residential development.
Within the Coyote Canyon area, the City has received specific outreach for two parcels, both of which are
protected within this inventory. Of primary note is the 22 -acre property on the closed landfill. Of
secondary note is the 28 -acre Droaerty with a develoament Droaosal for 10 units — less than one acre of
this property is expected to develop with housing. of the -22-aezres .,f laAd- d -e -e- Med 1;-itahl^ f^r
*^ ^d'a*^ ' ^ .Ad VeFy LeW-'^P^m^ ^'+s. Although the parcels within the Sites Inventory have
the capacity to accommodate 1,320 units of development (at an assumed unit yield of 60 du/ac), an
assumption of approximately 80% redevelopment has been applied considering development history,
economic factors, and AFFH requirements. The assumed buildout is therefore projected at 1,056 units,
264 of which are projected to develop affordablye.
Table B-15-1 below displays the capacity and opportunity in this Focus Area which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-7-14 below maps the portion of the property within Coyote Canyon
which can help accommodate the City's RHNA allocation.

Banning Ranch has been identified in prior planning periods as a site to accommodate future housing
needs. Banning Ranch was approved for development by the City, but the project was subsequently
denied by the Coastal Commission. The City understands that future opportunities may still exist for
housing development on the Banning Ranch and would like to keep the site under consideration for the
2021-2029 planning period.
.Based on City staff
understanding and a previous development proposal, the Banning Ranch property has the potential to
feasiblv accommodate 1.475 units of develoament on 30 acres of the considerably lareer Droaerty. The
assumed buildout is therefore projected at 1,475 units, 443 of which are projected to develop affordablye.
Table B-176 below displays the capacity and opportunity for Banning Ranch which can help accommodate
the City's RHNA allocation. Figure B-813 below maps Banning Ranch.

Section 65583 of the Government Code sates that, "the local government shall make diligent effort to
achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the
housing element, and the program shall describe this effort." Meaningful community participation is also
required in connection with the City's Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). A summary of citizen
participation is provided below.
As part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update process, Newport Beach has conducted extensive public
outreach activities beginning in 2019. In October 2019, the City launched Newport Together, a Listen &
Learn process to guide and inform a future General Plan Update. The goal of the Listen & Learn was to
hear from a broad spectrum of community members on community values, assess the current General
Plan Vision, and provide recommendations for a future General Plan Update. Newport Together was
guided by the General Plan Update Steering Committee, a body appointed by City Council to oversee
the Listen and Learn process. The following series of Community Workshops occurred in each of the
Newport Beach Council Districts:
• November 12, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. at 16th Street Recreation Center — District 2
• November 14, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. Back Bay Science Center — District 3
• November 20, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. Newport Coast Community Center — District 7
• November 21, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. OASIS Senior Center — District 6
• December 3, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. Central Library's Friend Meeting Room — District 5
• December 11, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. Bonita Creek Community Center - District 4
• December 12, 2019 from 6 — 8 p.m. Marina Park Community Center — District 1
Beginning in 2020 the City began additional focused discussion for the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update.
These recent outreach efforts included Community Workshops, Digital Engagement, Planning Commission
Study Sessions, Housing Element Advisory Committee Meetings, digital media, and noticed Public
Hearings. Project materials, including summaries from community workshops and public meetings,
notices, and draft public review documents are available on the City's website:
https://www.newporttogether.com/housing.

2020. Advertising for the workshop included emailing the City's list serve, posting on social media,

were provided with an overview of the Housing Element Update process, community and housing
characteristics, and also participated in engagement activities. Takeaways from the workshop

In answer to Chair Tucker's queries, Deputy Community Development Director Cam xplained
that in order to count housing approved for the Banning Ranch site, the City has t substantial
evidence that the housing will be built during the planning cycle. Given the C ommission's
oversight of the site and annexation issues, convincing HCD that housin e built may be
difficult. If the number of sites for housing is limited, development of the rich site may
have to be considered. The City, Newport Banning Ranch, and th sta ission are

Beach, I'd like to let my voice be heard and vote NO to the proposed changes. This area is an extremely high
traffic area. Cars can often be seen racing up and down the area. There is a lot of congestion in this area. It's
not an ideal corner for walking or stopping for an entrance. The golf course keeps the lands beauty and allows
for recreational rather than loading this high traffic area into an even bustier and more dangerous intersection.
There have been several deaths at this intersection and countless accidents. Having small children and being so
close we don't want to exacerbate the problem of high-density traffic when we are already challenged with so
many break-ins. In addition to keeping this portion of Newport Beach recreational is ideal. It really makes the
land desirable and beautiful considering we have enough traffic and pollution living next to the airport. Please
keep the space green & for recreational purposes. Please DON'T rezone holes 3-8 on the Mesa Dr side. This is a
popular and irreplaceable community recreational asset that will be lost if rezoning happens. For the good of
the community please reconsider and vote no to rezoning this gem.

Where to put the initial housing:
Since the majority of these new units are to be moderate, low and very low income housing, this means higher
density and taller buildings. The area by the SNA Airport (where I live) would be the most logical and
appropriate area to put the majority of this high-density housing: it would be compatible with the multi -story
commercial buildings and hotels that exist there now. Also, this area's proximity to major freeways would

Comment noted.
Irvine Avenue, Birch, and Mesa streets.
1. Our neighborhood already experiences speed and traffic issues, whether from speeding neighbors or
those businesses (delivery or adjacent) using our adjoining streets to bypass traffic on Irvine, Birch, or
Bristol. More housing will only contribute to those safety risks. It is unclear how related circulation
and transportation plans would evolve as part of the drafted/planned developments. Our immediate
community has witnessed at least a half dozen traffic -related deaths in the immediate area, including
pedestrians, motorcyclists, and auto drivers. We've even witnessed a helicopter crash that killed three
and plane crash that also killed three nearby. As you know, the proposed development is directly under
the flight path of flights from JWA.
2. We live in a beautiful City whose residents value open space and the natural areas in, around, and
through our neighborhoods. Replacing the open spaces with residential or commercial development
will further impede into and degrade the City's natural habitats that make us unique, robbing our
families of the public space experience we've come to enjoy and hold dear.
3. Significant environmental impact can be expected not just in the area currently defined by the golf
course, but to the watershed feeding to and from the Back Bay and the natural preserve surrounding it.
4. While it is unclear how any of the development and infrastructure will be funded, we are concerned

We appreciate the opportunity comment on the Housing Element Update, but remain concerned that the

inadequately planning for the types of parks, amenities and services that would create good quality of life for
these new neighborhoods, and for the City's business and residents as a whole. This concept of livable
communities should be a central focus of the current planning process in addition to the question of where to

the airport area, 65% in West Newport Mesa, 30% in both Dover -Westcliff and Newport Center, 35% in Coyote

inadequate to demonstrate a beneficial impact in the planning period." The City's AFFH Policy Action is exactly
what HCD has deemed to be inadequate. We encourage the City to rework its fair housing analysis, identify
barriers to fair housing, and develop specific programs and policy actions in line with HCD's guidance to
affirmatively further fair housing and actually achieve beneficial impacts during the planning period.

Background and Purpose
ADU Purpose
ids, �.;; - �•.- 1.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are additional independent
living facilities, for one or more persons, which are located on the same parcel as a single -unit or multi-
unit residential dwelling. The concept of ADUs has existed for decades but has recently come to the
forefront of the California housing discussion due to legislation passed starting in 2018. This legislation,
discussed in more detail in the following section, makes it easier to develop ADUs by increasing the
development zones where ADUs can be built, broadening the definition of an ADU, and removing previous
restrictions such as requiring replacement parking.
In areas such as Newport Beach where land values are high and there is a large amount of single -unit
detached housing, ADUs present a potentially more naturally affordable housing option for renters. ADUs
are often smaller in size than typical apartments or rental housing, ranging from 300 to 600 square feet
in size. They are also attractive to property owners who can gain rental income.
The City of Newport Beach (City) believes that ADUs present a viable option as part of the overall strategy
to develop housing at all income levels during the 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period.
Appendix D describes:
• Recent ADU legislation and regional actions,
• Local factors that may increase ADU development over the next eight years, and
• Actions Newport Beach will take through housing programs to incentivizing ADU development.
Background on Legislation and Statutory Requirements
Currently in Newport Beach, ADUs and JADUs are primarily regulated through Section 20.48.200
(Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC). Within the Coastal Zone, ADUs and JADUs are primarily regulated through Section 21.48.200
(Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC.
ADU legislation is addressed in Government Code Section 65852.150; it establishes that ADUs are valuable
and viable form of housing which can support the varying needs of California residents. In recent years,
ADU legislation has been revised to increase opportunity and improved effectiveness in creating more
housing in California. Recent changes in law have increased the feasibility and streamlined the ADU
process to encourage development; below is a summary of recent legislation that has amended ADU law.
SB 1069
SB 1069 made legislative changes to address barriers to the development of ADUs and expanded capacity
for ADU development. The bill reduces parking requirements per unit, restricts local agencies ability to
require ADU applicants to install new or separate utility connects or impose related fees, and requires
local governments to ministerially approve applications for one ADU within single -unit residential so long
as it meets specific requirements.
Appendix D: Accessory Dwelling Units (DRAFT JUNE 30 2021) D-1
City of Newport Beach
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
AB 2299
AB 2299 requires local governments to ministerially approve ADUs if the proposed unit meets all parking
requirements, maximum allowable size of an attached unit and specific setback requirements.
Additionally, the bill states than any existing ADU ordinances do not meet the bill's requirements is null
and void and that the jurisdiction must approve accessory dwelling units based on Government Code
Section 65852.2 until the jurisdiction adopts a compliant ordinance.
AB2406
AB 2406 creates more flexibility by authorizing local governments to permit junior accessory dwelling
units (JADU) through an ordinance. The bill defines JADUs to be a unit that cannot exceed 500 square feet
and must be completely contained within the space of an existing residential structure. In addition, the
bill requires specified components for a local JADU ordinance.
AB 3182
AB 1382 further addresses barriers to the development and use of ADUs and JADUs in local jurisdictions.
The legislation streamlines approvals of ADU and JADUs using ministerial approval processes, including a
requirement that complete applications for a compliant ADU/JADU which have net been acted upon
within 60 days are deemed approved.
AB 68, AB 881, SB 13
AB 68, 881 and SB 13 prohibits a number development standards and design regulations a local
government may impose in ADU/JADUs, decreased the allowable time for an ADU review and permitting
process, reduces the allowable associated fees for ADUs and provided additional regulatory clarifications
and guidelines pursuant to Government Code Sections 65852.2, 65852.22.
AR SR7
AB 587 permits an ADU to be sold or conveyed as a deed restricted affordable unit separately from the
primary dwelling residence. Additional, regulations are outlined in Government Code Section 65852.26,
including the provision that the primary and accessory unit must be built by a qualified nonprofit.
AR F7n
AB 670 states that all covenants or provisions that unreasonably restrict or prohibit the development of
ADU/JADUs on a lot zoned for single -unit residential use is void and unenforceable.
AR A71
AB 671 requires jurisdictions to include a plan and programs in the Housing Element which incentivizes
and promotes the development of ADUs for very low, low- and moderate -income households.
HCD/SCAG Policies and Programs
In August 2020, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG) completed an analysis of accessory dwelling unit
affordability to establish approved assumptions for use in the sites analysis for the 2021-2029 Housing
Element Cycle. The analysis surveyed rents for ADUs through different online real estate platforms
Appendix D: Accessory Dwelling Units (DRAFT JUNE 30 2021) D-2

between April and June 2020 and focused on specific geographic regions to determine differences in
affordability. The final affordability assumptions resulting from SCAG and HCD's analysis for jurisdictions
within Orange County are as follows:'
• Extremely Low — 15.0%
• Very Low — 10.0%
• Low — 43.0
• Moderate — 30.0%
• Above Moderate — 2.0%
The City of Newport Beach applied the above approved affordability breakdown to the anticipated ADU
development within the 6t" Cycle planning period.
Opportunities for ADUs in Newport Beach
Influences Supporting Affordable Housing in Newport Beach
Opportunities to develop affordable housing on vacant land in the City are extremely limited with only
three parcels qualifying based on the SCAG Housing Element Parcel Tool (HELPR) (see Figure 1). The City,
however, has substantial opportunity to develop affordable housing through ADUs based on the following
key factors:
• High land values in the City incentivize ADU development - Because of the high land values in
Newport Beach and the propensity to have viable, financially performing properties, infill
opportunities on existing residential sites via ADU development represents the greatest
opportunity for affordable housing construction and to integrate such development within
established neighborhoods. According to SCAG's HELPR, there are numerous parcels that could
qualify for by -right detached ADUs, with little to no restrictions In addition, every single -unit in
the City has the potential to convert existing space, including garage area, into an ADU or JADU
by -right, resulting in approximately 19,000 eligible properties (see Figure D-2). Therefore, the
City contends this provides the most significant opportunity to generate affordable housing in
the community.
• Site availability for ADUs are significant - Almost 8,000 existing parcels have the physical space
to accommodate detached ADUs and provide for ample opportunity to add to the housing stock.
Whereas the City may lose economic potential, jobs and tax base with infill redevelopment of
existing commercial uses, encouraging ADU development on existing residential properties does
not deteriorate economic, job and tax base considerations. Rather, it will likely enhance
availability of diverse housing opportunities, promote economic stability and further the City's
tax base.
• Positive Historical Trends in ADU Development - The City's history of ADU/JADU development
within multifamily developments demonstrates opportunity to develop attached ADUs as an
affordable component of larger housing projects. These positive trends are directly correlated
with the City's current efforts to provide supportive policies, outreach and information
dissemination to its residents. The City has experienced year over year increase in ADU activity

in the City and will continue to see these trends increase and exponentially expand throughout
the 2021-2029 planning period through intensified public outreach and development incentives.
• Demonstrated Commitment to ADU Development through Policies/Programs —The City Council
has recently adopted policies that support ADU development and has developed an ADU
Ordinance that strongly encourages ADU development. In addition, that City will adopt
additional ADU policies the further support ADU development citywide. Providing strong
support through policies, community outreach and monitoring of ADU construction.
• Council Policy K-4 (Reducing the Barriers to the Creation of Housing) — On March 9, 2021, the
City Council adopted Council Policy K-4, which includes a stated goal of increasing the production
of ADUs and JADUs. The policy recognizes that further encouraging development of ADUs beyond
State law minimums is an important strategy to accommodate future growth. To further
encourage and incentive the development of ADUs, the policy set forth the following directives:
1. Interpret ambiguities in code provisions regulating ADUs in a manner that accommodates
and maximizes production.
2. Direct staff and the Planning Commission to review and recommend code changes that
reduce regulatory barriers, streamline the approval process, and expand potential capacity
of ADUs beyond minimum State law requirements
3. Publicize incentives for construction of ADUs with a systematic approach utilizing all forms
of media and outreach.
4. Prepare and maintain a user-friendly website committed to information related to codes,
processes, and incentives pertaining to the development of ADUs and JADUs in the City.
5. Develop and administer a program that includes waiving all permit and City fees for property
owners of unpermitted units when they agree to bring units into compliance with current
building and fire codes to ensure the safety of occupants and structures.
6. Develop permit -ready standard plans to permit new ADU construction to minimize design
costs, expedite permit processing, and provide development certainty for property owners.
• Temporary 2 -Year Fee Waiver Program for ADU and JADU Development — On April 27, 2021,
the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-37 waiving City building plan check, building
construction permit, and other related City fees required for plan check, permits, inspections, re -
inspections and other related activities, for the design and construction of ADUs and JADUs on
existing residential developments and the legalization of exiting unpermitted ADUs and JADUs.

Local ADU Trends and 2021-2029 Projections
There are several indicators of growth in ADU development since 2018 within Newport Beach. Table D-1
shows the City's total ADU development since 2018, considering applications, permits, and finaled ADU
units. The City of Newport Beach saw a 2x increase from 3 units with some level of ADU development to
6 in 2019. The largest increase came in 2020 when the City received 45 ADU applications (between
traditional applications and zone change applications which don't require a plan check). It is anticipated
that the majority of these units will be permitted and finaled in 2021. In addition to the 45 applications
received, the City permitted 4 ADUs and finaled an additional 3 units. This represents almost 10 -fold
growth from 2019 to 2020, due in large part to increased education of property owners, City Council
support of ADU development, and additional local policies promoting the development of ADUs. These
are described in more detail in the following sections.

Newport Beach 2021-2029 ADU Projections
Based on the data in Table D-1, the citywide availability of land for ADU development and the existing and
future policy supporting ADU development, Newport Beach is reasonably and justifiably projecting future
growth beyond the safe harbor methodology provide in HCD's published guidance. The City believes the
2018-2020 ADU growth patterns, extensive local policy emphasis on ADU development, and proposed
housing programs described in Section 4 of the Housing Element strongly support continued year over
year growth of ADU development.

Table D-2 shows the City's ADU assumptions as described in Appendix B of the Housing Element. As
noted, the City anticipates that growth in ADU development will continue to occur year over year with
the potential for 1,000 accessory dwelling units to be constructed during the eight-year planning period.
While seemingly a large number of units, 1,000 ADUs represents approximately 4.6% of the total existing
single-family detached houses within Newport Beach. This does not factor in that ADUs can be developed
on parcels with multi -unit developments or that single -unit uses may develop an ADU and a JADU, for a
total of two additional units on one single -unit lot.
The City of Newport Beach is well positioned, both from an availability of potential development areas
within existing single -unit neighborhoods and from a political will standpoint, to realize a large increase
in ADU development during the 2021-2029 planning period.
Housing Element Policy Framework
The City of Newport Beach has identified programs to maintain and encourage ADUs during the 2021-
2029 planning period. The matrix below identified existing policies contain in Section 4 of this document
as well as policies the City will review for feasibility to implement in order to increase affordable housing.

Summary of Newport Beach ADU Approach
Anticipated ADU Growth (Planning Period 2021-2029)
ids, �.;; - �•.- 1.
Newport Beach anticipates that the city will continue to see year after year growth in ADU development
which matches or exceeds the growth in ADU activity shown from 2019 to 2020. The City has over 21,000
single -unit dwelling units, all of which are eligible to develop one ADU and one JADU. Additionally, multi-
unit apartment complexes can also develop ADUs if the requirements of State law and the City's local
ordinances are met.
The City is anticipating 1,000 ADUs to be developed within the 2021-2029 planning period. This is based
on increased production of ADUs year over year as demonstrated in Table D-2.
In accordance with HCD/SCAG guidance on affordability assumptions within the Housing Element Update
process, the City anticipates that 680 of these units will be affordable to residents within the very low and
low-income categories, 300 will be affordable to residents within the moderate income category, and 20
will be affordable to residents within the above moderate income category.
Supportive Policies and Programs
Newport Beach has proposed programs within the 2021-2029 Housing Element to take meaningful steps
towards promoting and incentivizing ADU growth during the planning period. The City will explore
incentives beyond what has been established to date, including the potential for permit -ready plans or a
streamlined process if certain requirements are met. Table D-3 outlines a list of further ADU incentives
that the City may explore during implementation of Policy Action 1H. The City also plans to continue its
ADU amnesty program to bring existing non -conforming accessory units up to code so that the City can
realize RHNA credit for these existing housing units within the community.
Monitoring Requirements
The City of Newport Beach is required to report all development within the City, including ADU
development, to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) annually through
their Annual Progress Reports (APRs). As part of this reporting, the City must show adequate progress in
meeting their identified ADU growth assumptions as described above.
To address HCD's ADU monitoring and reporting requirements, the City has included Program 11 within
the Housing Plan (Section 4). This states that the City will conduct an assessment of ADU growth within
two years of adoption of the Housing Element. If ADU assumptions are not keeping pace with the
assumptions made within the Housing Element, the City will implement fall back actions to accommodate
the shortfall, if necessary.
