On the Agenda: November 4 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, November 4 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is
available here.
Agenda items include:
• A Study Session on the Corona del Mar Commercial Corridor Study. The study, initiated in June 2024,
provides recommendations on zoning, parking and infrastructure changes to support the implementation
of a successful, vibrant, walkable and connected "main street" destination. Staff will present the results
of the study, including feedback from various outreach events, and receive input regarding potential
implementation of the study's recommendations. The public will have an opportunity to provide feedback
on recommendations identified in the study. For more information on the CdM Commercial Corridor
Study visit: www.newportbeachca.gov/cdmstudy.
• A water well permit and encroachment agreement with the City of Fountain Valley and a declaration of
intent to issue tax-exempt bonds. The agreement would approve permits for the construction and
maintenance of a new municipal water well at 17902 Bushard Street in Fountain Valley in partnership
with the Laguna Beach County Water District. Under a cooperative agreement approved in 2024,
Newport Beach is leading the project's planning, design and construction in coordination with Laguna
Beach. The new well would help strengthen both cities' long-term water reliability and reduce
dependence on imported water supplies from Northern California and the Colorado River. The City
Council will also decide whether to allow early project costs to be reimbursed through bond financing if
needed. Once complete, the well is expected to enhance local water supply security, provide cost
savings and ensure greater local control over water resources.
• An ordinance and resolution designed to increase the safe operation of bicycles and electric bicycles in
public rights -of -way, address the growing use of electric bicycles and improve safety for all riders. The
ordinance would update the City's bicycle regulations to include electric bicycles, require helmets for all
riders under 18, outline unsafe riding behaviors and allow bicycle impoundment or safety training
programs for minors who violate the rules. A companion resolution would expand the number of streets
where sidewalk cycling is permitted to help less -experienced riders travel safely along busy corridors.
