On the Agenda: April 15 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, April 15 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is
available here.
Agenda items include:
• A $1.2 million contract award with Irvine -based Griffin Structures, Inc., for construction management
services for the upcoming Fire Station 1 and Branch Library replacement project.
• Consideration of a notice of intent to override the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission's
determination of inconsistency for an amendment to Newport Beach's Housing Opportunity Overlay
Zoning and Coastal Zoning Districts. The amendment pertains to nine properties located in the John
Wayne Airport (JWA) notification area. The City is required to submit an amendment to the Orange
County Airport Land Use Commission for a consistency determination with the JWA Airport Environs
Land Use Plan. In March, the airport commission found the City's amendment to be inconsistent with
the JWA land use plan. The Council action would authorize staff to provide notification of the Council's
intent to override the commission's finding of inconsistency.
• A license agreementwith Heritage Wellness Collective for temporary use of City propertyto operate and
manage the Corona del Mar Farmers' Market. The current agreement for the CdM farmers' market is set
to expire on June 30. The City issued a request for proposals in August 2024 to identify a qualified
operator for continued operations. After formal evaluations and interviews, Heritage was selected as
the most qualified. Heritage is a non-profit operator of community and certified farmers' markets, with
more than 15 years of experience developing and managing markets in Orange, Riverside,
Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties. Heritage is known for fostering a strong culinary experience
and curating markets with a mix of small local businesses, artisan vendors and certified growers.
Heritage proposes to operate the farmer's market by retaining the existing vendors and
producers and adding pre -packaged and prepared food vendors to complement the produce vendors.
Heritage also plans to provide periodic entertainment by local musicians and seasonal events such as
pumpkin decorating, kids' crafts, farm -to -table dinner fundraisers, Earth day activities and giveaways.
