- **Sand-Starved San Clemente Updates Coastal Strategy as High Tides Erase Its Beaches** (developing, San Clemente, as of 2026-09-08T07:09:40.218+00:00)
  San Clemente's updated Coastal Strategic Plan, briefed to the City Council by Coastal Administrator Leslea Meyerhoff and reported Sept. 5, 2026, sets an interim goal of 100 feet of beach width within 10 years and 200 to 250 feet within 20; May monitoring found widths from essentially nothing to 179 feet. Sand would come from a 5,000-cubic-yard SCOUP placement this fall, Army Corps cycles of 251,000 cubic yards every five to six years starting 2029, and at least 540,000 cubic yards promised by OCTA by fall 2028, but the city lacks its roughly $15 million share for future Corps work and is asking voters for a 1% sales tax in November. Two days after the briefing, Hurricane Marie's swell put salt water on the LOSSAN tracks and shut down Metrolink service through the city.

- **Santa Ana Measure N: November Vote to Make the 1.5% Measure X Sales Tax Permanent** (developing, Santa Ana, as of 2026-09-08T07:09:39.43+00:00)
  Santa Ana voters will decide Measure N on Nov. 3, 2026, which would remove the 2029 step-down and 2039 sunset on the 1.5-cent local sales tax approved as Measure X in 2018, keeping the city's combined rate at 9.25%, tied for the highest in Orange County, and preserving about $84 million a year. The council placed the measure on the ballot 5-2, with David Penaloza and Jessie Lopez opposed. The OC Register editorial board urged a No vote on Sept. 7, arguing the city's unrestricted net position worsened from −$501 million in FY2018 to −$568 million in FY2025 despite the tax.

  The Tustin City Council on Sept. 1, 2026 unanimously gave first approval to Clearwater at Tustin Legacy, a Confluent Senior Living project on six acres of city-owned former MCAS land at Warner Avenue and Armstrong Avenue: 172 active-adult apartments, 26 of them income-restricted, plus a 103-unit, 134-bed assisted-living and memory-care building. The Kennedy Commission argues the Surplus Land Act requires 15% of all 275 units, or 41, to be affordable; city staff treated the assisted-living building as an institutional use outside the requirement. Second reading of Ordinance 1580 and the development agreement is set for Sept. 15.

  All four Newport Beach Stewardship Association measures — including the Responsible Housing Initiative — are headed to the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot after Judge Bancroft ordered the city to place them there; the city has appealed and sought a Court of Appeal stay, citing a $1–1.2 million cost for a standalone city-run election. The Registrar's Aug. 28 ballot-printing deadline has passed without the county adding the three charter measures to the county ballot, leaving a standalone city election as the operative path.
