The Orange County Business Council appreciates the opportunity to submit comments for the Newport Beach City Council's consideration on Item SS3 of the March 22 Study Session agenda regarding the evaluation of a future inclusionary zoning ordinance. The Business Council is opposed to the adoption of local inclusionary zoning mandates and we strongly encourage the City to instead explore other opportunities to address housing needs in a manner that encourages needed development to occur. The business community hopes to be able to work with the City Council and staff on finding solutions to addressing our housing supply challenges via a different route than mandated inclusionary zoning. Thank you for your consideration of our feedback.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
