Title

Action on Recommended Revisions to NBMC

 

Recommendation

Included in the Harbor Commission’s 2024 Objectives is objective number 1 the title of which is “Conduct annual review of Title 17 and recommend updates to City Council where necessary.”  The full Commission will listen to and provide input on a proposal prepared by the subcommittee responsible for that objective. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

1.                     Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and

 

2.                     Consider a proposal from the subcommittee responsible for the current Harbor Commission Objective 1 on potential revisions to the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) related to the harbor; and 

 

3.                     If agreed to, direct staff to return at a future harbor Commission meeting with a Resolution to forward the recommended revisions to the City Council for their consideration and adoption.
