Newport Beach city officials will be taking another look at the general plan housing element update during a study session this Tuesday.
The housing element update is a comprehensive document that details housing plans and policies in the general plan.
Local jurisdictions are required to update their housing element every five years to eight years by the state and the update is supposed to be adopted by mid-October. The state does, however, provide a 120-day grace period, meaning that the city technically has until Feb. 22 of next year to complete the process without facing penalties.
