Council Rejects Airport Commission’s Warning: Moves Forward on 4-1 Vote with Plan to Build 15,000 Housing Units in the IBC
On October 8th, the Irvine City Council voted 4-1 (with Vice Mayor Larry Agran voting NO) to move forward with a plan to add some 15,000 housing units in the Irvine Business Complex (IBC), next to John Wayne Airport.
In doing so, the Council majority ignored safety & noise warnings from the state’s Airport Land Use Commission.
Irvine was directed by the state to increase its affordable housing stock.
An amendment to the City’s General Plan to implement the state mandate by building up to 57,656 units passed the City Council back in August on another 4-1 vote, with Larry Agran voting against it.

Publisher’s Perspective: $100 Million in Overcharges by OCPA in Just 2 Years … and Nothing to Show for It!
October 1st marked the two-year anniversary since Irvine residential electricity customers were forced into the more expensive plan offered by the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA).
When it launched back in 2022, the OCPA Board promised Irvine customers “greener” electricity at lower monthly rates. Those promises were flat-out lies. Irvine ratepayers have been forced to pay significantly higher monthly electricity rates than we paid to Southern California Edison (SCE).
And, OCPA has not provided anyone in Irvine with greener electricity. Our electricity comes from the California electricity grid. There is not a separate transmission line pumping “100% renewable” electricity into the homes of OCPA customers.
