TITLE: Status on Planning Commission's Efforts Related to Fractional
Homeownership (PA2022-0202)
ABSTRACT:
At the October 25, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council requested the Planning
Commission consider making changes to the Newport Beach Municipal Code to address
fractional homeownership. In response to the direction, the Planning Commission formed
an ad hoc committee to review the issue. This agenda item is a report on the status of the
Planning Commission's efforts to date and its plan to make recommendation to the City
Council at its February 23, 2023 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
DISCUSSION:
On September 13, 2022, the City Council held a study session on fractional
homeownership. At the conclusion of the study session, the City Council directed staff to
work with the Planning Commission to develop recommendations for the regulation of
fractional homeownership.
The Planning Commission conducted a study session on October 6, 2022 on fractional
homeownership. Due to the complexity of the issue, the Commission expressed the
desire to form an ad hoc committee and work closely with staff to formulate appropriate
regulations. On October 20, 2022, the Planning Commission formed an ad hoc committee
consisting of Commissioners Lee Lowery, Mark Rosene and former Commissioner Erik
Weigand. The expectation was to have the ad hoc committee meet as necessary to assist
staff with the creation of regulations that would then be presented to the Planning
Commission at a future public hearing for consideration and to make a recommendation
to the City Council.

On October 25, 2022, the City Council, at the request of Councilmember Diane Dixon,
unanimously concurred to direct the Planning Commission to make a recommendation
regarding the regulation of fractional homeownership at the January 5, 2023, Planning
Commission meeting. The recommendation would then be presented by staff to the City
Council for its review and consideration at a subsequent meeting date.
Ad Hoc Committee Efforts and Status of Recommendation
Given the nature of the issues, the ad hoc committee was not prepared to provide specific
recommendations for Planning Commission consideration on January 5, 2023. However,
the ad hoc committee has made significant progress over the past few months meeting a
total of six times, including meeting with representatives from Pacaso as well as
concerned residents. Currently, the ad hoc committee is in the process of finalizing its
recommendations and is scheduled to return to the Planning Commission with
recommendations on February 23, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
