Community Members:
On Tuesday, July 23, the City Council will conduct a public
hearing and consider whether to authorize a November ballot
measure related to Newport Beach's General Plan Housing
Element.
The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element, which was developed
over several years with considerable public input, was
updated to meet State of California mandates requiring cities
to plan for significant increases in housing over the next
decade. For Newport Beach, the State required plans to
accommodate an additional 4,845 housing units, with 71 % of
these units required to be affordable. Newport Beach's
updated Housing Element was adopted by the City Council
and certified by the State in 2022. Implementation is required
to begin in February 2025. Several amendments to the General Plan are needed to
implement the certified housing plan.
Newport Beach's City Charter Section 423 requires a vote of the electorate to approve
"major amendments" to the General Plan, but allows an exemption if federal or state law
precludes such a vote.
Following public input at the July 23 meeting, the Council will consider whether to place a
measure on the November 5, 2024 ballot asking voters to approve the General Plan
updates, or determine that such a vote is precluded by State law.
The public hearing will be in the Council Chambers, 100 Civic Center Dr., and broadcast
live on the City website and YouTube channel.
The adopted, certified 6th Cycle Housing Element is available here, along with the adopted
Circulation Element. Meetings of the General Plan citizens' steering committee and advisory
committee are archived on our YouTube channel.

elements, visit http://www.newportbeachca.gov/gpupdate.
