HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, July 20, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. or soon thereafter as the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted in the Council Chambers at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach. The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Housing Element Implementation - Noise-Related Amendments – Amendments to Newport Beach General Plan Land Use and Noise Elements, Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC), Newport Place Planned Community Development Standards (PC-11), and the Newport Airport Village Planned Community Development Plan (PC-60) (the Amendments) for the following:
• Adopting updated noise contours (Noise Element Figures N4 and N5) to reflect the noise contours identified by the 2014 John Wayne Airport Settlement Agreement Amendment Environmental Impact Report No. 617 (EIR No. 617);
• Updating Land Use and Noise Element Policies, Land Use Element Figures LU11, LU22, and LU23, Title 20, PC-11, and PC-60 to modify and incorporate the updated noise contours identified by EIR No. 617 and to implement additional noise attenuation measures for future housing units proximate to John Wayne Airport; and
• Allowing residential units identified by the certified 2021-2029 Sixth Cycle Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element to be located within the 65 dBA CNEL noise contour area as identified in the updated noise contour maps identified by EIR No. 617. Parcels bisected by the updated 65 dBA CNEL noise contour could support future housing; whereas parcels located wholly within the updated 65 dBA CNEL noise contour could support
housing, if deemed necessary to satisfy the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) mandate.
The Amendments are exempt and not subject to further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 because the amendments would not allow development of greater intensity than is allowed under the 2006 General Plan, including the Newport Airport Village Planned Community, as amended. The updated contours, and impacts associated therewith, were also fully analyzed in the 2014 John Wayne Airport Settlement Agreement Amendment EIR No. 617.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this application. If you challenge this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you raised at the public hearing or in written correspondence delivered to the City, at, or before, the public hearing. Administrative procedures for appeals are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 20.64. The application may be continued to a specific future meeting date; if such an action occurs, additional public notice of the continuance will not be provided.
The agenda, staff report, and corresponding documents will be available by end of business day on the Friday preceding the public hearing and may be reviewed at the Community Development Department Permit Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100
