NEWPORT BEACH
As many as 18 projects, from the expansion of Fashion Island to a zone change on a four-unit residence, would have required citywide votes if the Greenlight initiative were in effect, a Newport Beach study found.
The results of the city’s $11,500 study mirror those gathered by Allan Beek, one of the Greenlight measure’s proponents, in an informal survey last year.
The city study, conducted by former employee John Douglas, concluded that six of the city’s 46 areas have been built to capacity and therefore every new project in those areas would require a vote.
The study will be released to the public at the council meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd.
