General Information
The City of Newport Beach (City) strives for transparency and ease of public access to information related to
development applications. As a result, architectural drawings submitted in support of an application may be included in the agenda packets for public hearings and posted on the internet. However, in compliance with Government Code Section 65103.5 and SB 1214 (Jones), Statutes 2022, a design professional or owner of
copyrighted plans may elect to withhold authorization of the reproduction of copyright-protected plans when a separate site plan1 and massing diagram2 is prepared and submitted for reproduction within an agenda packet and for posting on the internet for public view and reproduction.
