# City of Newport Beach Planning Commission Meeting October 22, 20


**Body:** City of Newport Beach
**Date:** October 22, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Newport Beach Planning Commission met on October 22, 2026 (as stated during the meeting; the metadata timestamp is October 23 UTC). The commission unanimously approved the Dove Point residential condominium project, a proposed 75-unit for-sale development that would replace two office buildings in the airport area. The project includes parking, shared and publicly accessible open space, landscaping, and related site improvements. Public comment raised concerns about the city’s use of housing-overlay capacity and the project’s limited amenities; staff clarified that no inclusionary affordable-housing requirement currently applies to this site. No procurement, contract award, or purchasing action was identified.

The commission also unanimously approved a Corporate Plaza Planned Community amendment to allow an additional 11,534 square feet of medical-office use in Building Site 17 and remove the prohibition on second-floor medical uses; staff was asked to clarify that the referenced floor area is gross square footage. It then unanimously approved a citywide zoning-code amendment restoring the Community Development Director’s authority to exclude qualifying utility and mechanical rooms from up to 10% of a nonresidential building’s gross floor area, subject to case-by-case review. Both amendments are scheduled for City Council consideration on November 17. The commission also received an update on a 700-unit rental project and an upcoming tandem-parking discussion.
