Council Meeting for
Feb. 14
Our next City Council meeting is Tuesday,
February 14. Items of interest are
highlighted below. The entire agenda and
reports can be viewed here.
A study session will begin at 4 p.m.:
Ocean Boulevard visioning. The Council will hear a presentation on
recommendations by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission regarding
potential improvements to Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar. The recommendations
include scenic vistas and lookout points connected by sidewalk from Poppy Avenue to
Carnation Avenue. The Commission has requested that funds for designing the project
be included in the City's fiscal year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Budget.
The regular meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. Agenda items include:
• Appointments to committees and commissions. The Council will consider appointing
nominees for vacant seats on the Finance Committee and Planning Commission.
• A potential General Plan amendment to change the land use designation for 3014
Balboa Blvd. from commercial to residential, allowing for a new residential project. The
applicant is seeking to demolish an existing commercial building, now home to
Sancho's Tacos restaurant, and build a new, two -unit residential condominium
development. Approval would require amendments to the General Plan, Local Coastal
Program Amendment, and the Newport Beach Municipal Code.
• A recommendation by the City Arts Commission of 10 sculptures and four alternates
for the rotating exhibition in Civic Center Park. The sculptures were selected by a
survey of residents. If approved, the Phase VIII sculptures will be installed in June and
remain on display for two years.
• Approval of a construction contract with Hot Line Construction, Inc. for underground
utility projects in West Newport Heights and on Balboa Island. Both projects, which
require special assessment districts, were approved by neighborhood residents in
2021.
