On the Agenda: September 9 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, September 9 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is available
here.
Agenda items include:
• Adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Codes with local amendments, the 2025
California Fire Code with local amendments, and the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface
with local amendments. Following a public hearing, the City Council will consider the updated
codes to align with the 2025 California Building Standards, which take effect statewide on January
1, 2026. These codes, updated every three years by the State, set minimum safety and design
requirements for construction. The proposed amendments are designed to address local
geographic, topographic and climatic conditions.
• A decision on whether to override a determination by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission
(ALUC), related to the proposed Snug Harbor Surf Park project. The proposed project would redevelop
part of the privately owned Newport Beach Golf Course into a recreation facility with surf lagoons, a
clubhouse, and related amenities. ALUC recently determined that the project was inconsistent with the
John Wayne Airport Land Use Plan. Overriding ALUC's finding would allow the City of Newport Beach to
continue reviewing the project while formally notifying ALUC and the State of the decision. This action
would not approve the Snug Harbor project, but would allow for further review and future consideration
by the City Council.
• Appointment of five new members to the City's Aviation Committee. Earlier this year, the City
Council updated the committee's structure and invited Newport Beach residents to apply. A
Council Ad Hoc committee reviewed all applications and conducted interviews based on the
qualifications and expertise of the applicants. Of 23 applicants, 10 finalists were nominated and
five will be selected by the City Council to serve on the committee. The appointments will begin
July 1, 2025, with two members serving initial two-year terms and up to three members serving
four-year terms. The Aviation Committee advises the City on airport -related issues affecting
Newport Beach.
