First rehab home denial set for hearing today
Newport Beach is set to deny a use permit to the drug and alcohol rehabilitation home Newport Coast Recovery at a public hearing today.
The home would be the first denied permission to stay open in Newport Beach under a city ordinance aimed at cracking down on drug and alcohol rehabilitation homes passed last year.
Newport Coast Recovery is a men’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation home at 1216 W. Balboa Blvd.
Newport Beach officials will move to deny the rehabilitation home a use permit because it is within walking distance of a bar and a market that sells alcohol, according to city documents.
The hearing is slated for 4 p.m. today in Council Chambers at Newport Beach City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd.
