the committee will be advertised and qualified residents invited to apply.

worn cameras, in -car video systems and tasers for the Police Department, along with related

the use of body -worn cameras departmentwide.
Reconsideration of a development project amendment for the Tennis Club at Newport
Beach. The Tennis Club, located at 1602 E. Coast Highway, is seeking to amend a
previously approved development agreement. The Council voted 5-2 on September 27 to
continue the item, directing the Planning Commission to consider the inclusion of pickleball
courts instead of tennis courts. On October 11, the Council voted 4-3 to reconsider the
applicant's original request. The applicant is seeking to increase the number of tennis courts,
hotel rooms, and hotel floor space, and reduce the number of single-family residences, along
with a 10-year term extension.
A resolution that would amend a lease agreement with the Lido House Hotel, 3300 Newport
Blvd. The applicant is requesting to add 15,103 square feet to the previously approved
130-room Lido House Hotel to allow the construction of five new rentable cottages, increased
storage space, enlarged meeting rooms, a new greenhouse seating room, expansion of
three existing hotel rooms, and an enclosed area on the rooftop terrace. The amendment
also includes demolition of the former Fire Station No. 2 building to create additional public
and private parking spaces.
