City staff and its consultant team worked with the Housing Element Update Advisory Committee (HEUAC), Planning Commission, City Council, and the community over the previous 20 months to prepare an update to Housing Element. On February 8, 2022, the Newport Beach City Council adopted an update to its Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning cycle in response to the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 4,845 new housing units for Newport Beach. On February 11, 2022, the City submitted the adopted update to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a mandatory 60-day review. On April 11, 2022, the City received a letter from HCD with comments and has since revised the Element to be responsive.

 

On August 24, 2022, HCD provided the City with a letter indicating that the June 21, 2022 revision along with the August 16, 2022 mid-review revisions meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. You can view that letter by clicking here. The City Council will be considering the revisions as an amendment to the adopted version from February 8, 2022, at its upcoming September 13, 2022 meeting.
