On the Agenda: September 23 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, September 23 at 4 p.m. The full agenda
is available here.
Agenda items include:
• Ordinances that would prohibit the sale and distribution of flavored tobacco products and the sale,
distribution and use of nitrous oxide.
• A $151,000 contract with Santa Rosa -based Planeteria Media for a redesign of the City's website,
content management system and hosting services. The City's website has not been significantly
redesigned for more than 10 years. The Planeteria redesign would incorporate updated technologies,
improved search capabilities and other features to enhance community access.
• The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2024-25 consolidated annual performance and
evaluation report. The report covers projects and expenditures of CDBG funding and the City's progress
toward goals established in the annual action plan. The City is required by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to submit the report each year.
• A relocation plan was prepared for tenants residing at 301 East Balboa Boulevard, a property purchased
in 2024 for potential future use as a public parking facility. The site is currently occupied by two tenants in
a residential triplex. Under state law, when a public project displaces residents, the City is required to
provide relocation assistance. The relocation plan evaluates the needs of the affected tenants, outlines
the City's obligations, and estimates a total of approximately $88,000 in relocation benefits.
• Consideration of municipal code and local coastal program amendments related to tobacco sales and a
temporary moratorium on new tobacco retail businesses, also known as smoke shops. This item would
initiate amendments to the City's municipal code and local coastal program related to smoke shops,
smoking lounges and any other retail businesses that sell tobacco and tobacco accessories. In addition,
the City Council will consider a 45-day temporary moratorium that would prohibit the establishment and
operation of any new tobacco retail businesses and the relocation/expansion of existing tobacco retail
businesses.
