NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. or soon thereafter as
the matter shall be heard, a public hearing will be conducted online via Zoom. The Zoning Administrator of
the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application:
Annual Review of North Newport Center Development Agreement – An annual review of Development
Agreement No. DA2007-002 for North Newport Center, pursuant to Newport Beach Municipal Code
(NBMC) Section 15.45.080 (Periodic Review) and California Government Code Section 65865.1. The
Development Agreement was executed in 2008 and amended in 2012 and 2025, vested development rights
for regional commercial, office, mixed-use and residential uses in North Newport Center and required public
benefit contributions to the City. The Zoning Administrator will review Irvine Company’s good faith compliance
with the provisions of the Development Agreement between January 2024 and December 2024. North
Newport Center includes the following sub-areas: Fashion Island; Block 100, Block 400, Block 500, Block
600, and Block 800 of Newport Center Drive; and San Joaquin Plaza.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15321 – Class 21 (Enforcement Actions by Regulatory
Agencies), of the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act), because it has no potential to have
a significant effect on the environment.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony in regard to 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 prior to, the public hearing. Administrative procedures for appeals
are provided in the Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 15.45.080 (Periodic Review). The application
may be continued to a specific future meeting date, and 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
