ABSTRACT:
The City Council held a public hearing on April 29, 2025, to introduce two ordinances and
adopt a resolution for the North Newport Center Planned Community (PC-56)
amendments. It was anticipated that the second reading and adoption of the ordinances

DISCUSSION:
The Irvine Company (Applicant) is requesting to amend the North Newport Center
Planned Community (PC-56) Development Plan to: (1) allocate 1,500 dwelling units from
the 2,439-unit development limit identified in the HO-4 (Newport Center Area) Subarea of
the Housing Opportunity (HO) Overlay Zoning Districts of the Newport Beach Municipal
Code; (2) incorporate two parcels located at 100 and 190 Newport Center Drive into
PC-56; and (3) update residential height limits, design standards, plan review process,
and other minor provisions in PC-56. As the request involves vesting development rights
for dwelling units, the Applicant is also proposing an amendment to the existing
Development Agreement (DA), an affordable housing implementation plan (AHIP), and a
water supply assessment (WSA).
On April 29, 2025, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the AHIP and WSA
and introduced ordinances to approve an amendment to the North Newport Center
Planned Community (PC-56) and adopt a Development Agreement for the project. As
indicated in the staff report from April 29,2025, it was anticipated that the second reading
and adoption of the ordinances would be brought back to the City Council on June 10,
2025. However, the item will be postponed to the June 24, 2025 City Council meeting.
