On the Agenda: June 10 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, June 10 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is
available here.
Agenda items include:
• An ordinance that would prohibit spectators from being present at street races and reckless driving
exhibitions conducted on a public street, road or highway or in an off-street parking facility in Newport
Beach. The ordinance would help address illegal street racing, or "sideshows," where streets,
intersections or parking lots are used for high-speed burnouts, racing and motorcycle stunts. These
activities have led to a surge in complaints to the Newport Beach Police Department.
• Award of annual community programs grants. The grants are awarded to local organizations that serve
or provide programmingfor Newport Beach residents; Newport Beach -based community and charitable
events; and larger, "signature" special events. City staff evaluates applications and makes
recommendations to the Council. Staff is recommending $41,000 in grants for community programs,
$55,000 for community and charitable events, and $245,000 for signature events.
• Amendments to the City's Housing Opportunity Overlay Zoning and Coastal Zoning districts to support
the implementation of the state -mandated Housing Element. These changes would allow increased
building heights in designated areas, such as Newport Center and the Airport Area, to accommodate
residential development at densities ranging from 20 to 50 units per acre. The Council will also consider
adoption of a resolution overriding a March 20 determination by the Orange County Airport Land Use
Commission that the proposed amendment is inconsistent with the 2008 John Wayne Airport Environs
Land Use Plan.
• Adoption of the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. City staff is proposing a balanced budget of
$532.7 million for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes $463.9 million for operating costs and
$68.9 million for capital improvement projects such as infrastructure upgrades and public facility
maintenance. The budget prioritizes public safety, municipal services, maintenance, and long-term
fiscal stability. The budget includes a structural surplus of $12.2 million. The City's Finance Committee
has reviewed and recommended approval of the budget, which will be considered by the Council
following a public hearing.
