Council to hear public input on potential view blocks

The Newport Beach City Council will listen to what the public has to say about the size and height of a proposed community center and sailing center at Marina Park at today’s 7 p.m. meeting at Newport Beach City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd.

The 10,200 square-foot, two-story community center would include rooms for meetings, community classes and parties. A 11,115-square-foot sailing center, also two stories, would included a community cafe, an area to store boats, a deck and a meeting room.

The two buildings could obstruct the view of homes across Balboa Boulevard, according to a city of Newport Beach staff report.
