Shall the measure to amend the City of Newport Beach's General Plan Land Use Element allowing 2,900 new affordable housing units (2,160 reserved for extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households; and 740 for moderate-income households) with densities of 20 - 50 dwelling units per acre, plus State of California allowed housing density bonuses, in Dover/Westcliff (174), Newport Center (870), West Newport Mesa (406), Airport Area (929), and Coyote Canyon (521), be adopted?
In plain language
Measure H would change the land use part of Newport Beach's General Plan. The General Plan is the city's long-term guide for how land is used. The change would allow 2,900 new affordable homes. Of these, 2,160 would be for extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households. The other 740 would be for moderate-income households. Building density could be 20 to 50 homes per acre, plus extra density allowed by state law. The homes would be spread across five areas: Dover/Westcliff (174), Newport Center (870), West Newport Mesa (406), Airport Area (929), and Coyote Canyon (521). A YES vote approves the change. A NO vote means the General Plan is not changed this way.
