On the Agenda: June 10 City Council Meeting
The next meeting of the Newport Beach City Council will be on Tuesday, June 10 at 4 p.m. The full agenda is available here.
Agenda items include:
• An ordinance that would prohibit spectators from being present at street races and reckless driving exhibitions conducted on a public street, road or highway or in an off -street parking facility in Newport Beach. The ordinance would help address illegal st reet racing, or “sideshows, ” where streets, intersections or parking lots are used for high -speed burnouts, racing and motorcycle stunts. These activities have led to a surge in complaints to the Newport Beach Police Department. • Award of annual community programs grants. The grants are awarded to local organizations that serve or provide programming for Newport Beach residents; Newport Beach-based community and charitable events; and larger, "signature" special events. City staff evaluates applications and makes recommendations to the Council. Staff is recommending $41,000 in grants for community programs, $55,000 for community and charitable events, and $245,000 for signature events. • Amendments to the City's Housing Opportunity Overlay Zoning and Coastal Zoning districts to support the implementation of the state -mandated Housing Element. These changes would allow increased building heights in designated areas, such as Newport Center a nd the Airport Area, to accommodate residential development at densities ranging from 20 to 50 units per acre. The Council will also consider adoption of a resolution overriding a March 20 determination by the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission that the proposed amendment is inconsistent with the 2008 John Wayne Airport Environs Land Use Plan.
• Adoption of the City's Fiscal Year 2025 -26 budget. City staff is proposing a balanced budget of $532.7 million for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes $463.9 million for operating costs and $68.9 million for capital improvement projects such as infrastructure upgrades and public facility maintenance. The budget prioritizes public safety, municipal services, maintenance, and long -term fiscal stability. The budget includes a structural surplus of $12.2 million. The City's Finance Committee has reviewed and recommended approval of the budget, which will be considered by the Council following a public hearing.
