What is the Northern Sphere of Influence?
The Northern Sphere of Influence is approximately 8,500 acres. Consistent with the 1984 Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Irvine and The Irvine Company, a planning agreement was established in 2000 to facilitate the planning for and phased annexation of the Northern Sphere. In June 2002, the Irvine City Council approved plans to annex the Northern Sphere of Influence, and move forward with the phased development of North Irvine.
