(6 Ayes, 1 Abstain) Item 2: Code Amendment 2007 -005 Proposed amendment of Title 20 (Zoning Code) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code to revise definitions, land use classifications, and regulations relating to group occupancies and short-term lodgings. The Commission received a report on the code amendment, which was revised to incorporate some of the provisions requested by Concerned Citizens of Newport Beach (CCNB). The Planning Department presented an overview of the components of the code amendment. Attorneys from Goldfarb- Lipman, special counsel to the City, presented a legal analysis on the provisions that were not incorporated into the code amendment on grounds that they would be facially discriminatory to disabled persons. The Commission then heard extended testimony from attorneys for CCNB, who presented their version of the code amendment. After receiving public comments from over a dozen speakers, the Commission conducted a series of straw votes on different components of the two versions of the code amendment. The Commission directed staff to develop the over - concentration 'overlay zone" concept requested by CCNB, but one that would not be facially discriminatory. The overlay zone is to include separation requirements in the range of 300 to 1000 feet. This item was continued to September 20, 2007. (All Ayes).
