A long-planned development of hundreds of homes and expansive retail space this week likely will lose the approvals it received from the Newport Beach City Council five years ago, dealing the controversial project yet another blow. On Tuesday, the Newport Beach City Council is expected to vote to vacate all approvals for the Newport Banning Ranch project, which has been proposed for the 401-acre historic oil field that sits in an unincorporated area at the intersection of Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach.
