ORDINANCE SUMMARY
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 9, 2025, the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, will introduce an Ordinance entitled:
ORDINANCE NO. 2025-22
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 10.08.005 (DEFINITIONS) AND ADDING SECTION
10.08.012 (SAFE USE OF MEDIANS) TO CHAPTER 10.08 (USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY AND
INTERFERENCE WITH PUBLIC ACCESS) TO TITLE 10 (OFFENSES AND NUISANCES) OF
THE NEWPORT BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO THE PROTECTION OF
PEDESTRIANS, VEHICLE TRAFFIC AND LANDSCAPING
For many years, the City has experienced increased costs and maintenance issues resulting from
pedestrian activity within roadway center medians. These medians are designed exclusively to
separate opposing lanes of vehicular traffic and are not intended for pedestrian use. The presence
of individuals in these areas poses serious safety risks —especially in narrow medians —and leads
to damage of public infrastructure, higher maintenance costs, and disruptions to traffic flow. The
proposed amendment to the Municipal Code aims to enhance public safety and preserve the
integrity of the City's infrastructure.
This Ordinance will be introduced by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach,
California, at a regular meeting thereof on the 9th day of September, 2025.
Second reading of Ordinance No. 2025-22 will occur at the September 23, 2025, City
Council meeting. If adopted on September 23, 2025, the Ordinance shall become final and
effective 30 days after adoption.
