HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, September 08, 2022, at 6:30 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 recommending
approval of the following:
Circulation Element Update – An amendment to the Newport Beach General Plan incorporating changes
to the Circulation Element. The proposed update is a comprehensive statement of the City’s transportation and mobility policies and serves as a guide for implementation of these policies. The purpose of the update is to provide new goals and policies that comply with State mandates such as Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
legislation and “Complete Streets” legislation. The updated goals and policies also reflect the community’s vision on trending transportation matters, including electric vehicles (EV) and climate change, rideshare
services, public transportation, bicycle plans, telecommuting, roadway safety, as well as parking
management. The General Plan Circulation Element Update document is accessible online at www.newportbeachca.gov/DraftCEUpdate.
The activity is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) Guidelines because it involves goals, policies, and programs that would not cause a significant
effect on the environment. The activity is further statutorily exempt under Section 15262 of the State CEQA Guidelines, which exempts projects involving feasibility or planning studies for future actions which the City has not approved or funded.
All interested parties may appear and present testimony regarding this matter. If you challenge this matter 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 Chapter 20.64 (Appeals); however, the Planning Commission's recommendation on the matter will be forwarded to the City Council automatically as the final
review authority. The matter 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 Center (Bay C-1st Floor), at 100 Civic Center Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660 or at the City of
Newport Beach website at www.newportbeachca.gov/planningcommission. Individuals not able to attend the meeting may contact the Planning Division or access the City’s website after the meeting to review the
action on this application. All mail or written communications (including email) from the public, residents, or
applicants regarding an agenda item must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately prior to the meeting. This allows time for the Planning Commission to adequately consider the submitted
