The Newport Beach City Council voted unanimously March 14 to draft an ordinance to classify fractional homeownerships as timeshares, which are currently banned in the city’s residential neighborhoods.

Fractional homeownership occurs when multiple individuals purchase a property, usually as a second home, and split usage based on a percentage of ownership.
