LU 3.3 Opportunities for Change
Support opportunities for new development and improved physical environments for residents, businesses, and visitors in the following districts and corridors, as specified in Polices 6.3.1 through
6.22.7:
West Newport: support consolidation of retail and visitor -serving commercial uses, and new residential opportunities
Santa Ana Heights: support continued implementation of the adopted Specific Plan and Redevelopment Plan
Fashion Island/Newport Center: support balanced expansion and enhancement of retail uses, hotel rooms, and offices, and development of residential in proximity to jobs and services Balboa Peninsula: support patterns of use that consolidate the Peninsula’s visitor-serving and mixed uses within the core commercial districts; encourage marine-related uses especially along the bay front; integrate residential with retail and visitor -serving uses in Lido V illage, McFadden Square, Balboa Village, and along portions of the Harbor frontage; re -use interior parcels in Cannery Village for residential and limited mixed-use and live/work buildings; and redevelop underperforming properties outside of the core commercial districts along the Balboa Boulevard corridor for residential. Infill development shall be designed and sited to preserve the historical and architectural fabric of these districts
Mariners’ Mile: support revitalization of existing properties for retail, visitor -serving, and marine - related uses, integrated with residential
Corona del Mar: support enhancement of public improvements and parking (Imp 1.1, 2.1, 5.1)
Study and consider the adoption of specific plans or other appropriate land use guidance for the following areas:
West Newport Mesa: This area is generally bounded by the City of Costa Mesa to the north, Banning Ranch to the west, State Route 55 to the east, and Hospital Road to the south. The area may be expanded if warranted. The intent is to support a cohesive strategy that enhances existing land use or repurpose underperforming commercial and industrial uses or activities while facilitating new and varied housing, including workforce housing proximate to jobs, transportation, and services. Future land uses are intended to be appropriately located and sized to accommodate local community needs.
Airport Area: This area is generally bound by Jamboree Road to the east, Campus Drive to the north and west, and State Route 73 to the south. This area may be expanded subject to LU 4.4. This area must support flexible land use planning for the reuse and repurposing of existing nonresidential uses while allowing for a variety of housing opportunities inclusive of workforce housing proximate to jobs, transportation, supporting commercial, a nd services. The intent is to support and provide neighborhood parks or other recreational opportunities, and other public services. Development in this area should contribute to a cohesive urban, mixed-use character where residents and visitors can live, work, shop, access services, and play.
Coyote Canyon Landfill: This approximately 375 -acre open space area is generally bound by Newport Coast Drive to the east, State Route 73 to the north, and the Newport Ridge Planned Community to the west and south. The intent for this area is to support a comprehensive vision th at balances future land uses with environmental stewardship and public access. Future development should adapt the closed landfill as an area that supports a variety of outdoor recreational uses such as golf, hiking, and nature inter pretation alongside housing opportunities with complementary nonresidential uses.

LU 4.4 Rezoning to Accommodate Housing Opportunities
Accommodate housing opportunities through the adoption of housing opportunity overlay zoning districts or other land use regulatory policy. The following areas are intended to be consistent with the Housing Element’s focus areas. Properties within each overlay district should include, but are not limited to, sites identified in the Housing Element; however, not all sites must be included, and other sites or adjustments may be identified in the future through rezoning unless precluded by state law. The goal is to ensure an adequate number of sites Citywide to accommodate the City’s overall allocation of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment:
• Airport Environs: the intent is to support a density between 20 and 50 dwelling units per gross acre to accommodate up to 2,577 total dwelling units within the area.
• West Newport Mesa: the intent is to support a density between 20 and 50 dwelling units per gross acre to accommodate up to 1,107 total dwelling units within the area.
• Newport Center: the intent is to support a density between 20 and 50 dwelling units per gross acre to accommodate up to 2,439 total dwelling units within the area. units per gross acre.
• Dover / Westcliff: the intent is to support a density between 20 and 50 dwelling units per gross acre to accommodate up to 521 total dwelling units within the area.
• Coyote Canyon: the intent is to allow a density between 20 and 60 dwelling units per gross acre of viable land to accommodate up to 1,530 total dwelling units within the area.
LU 4.5 Residential Uses and Residential Densities
Residential use of any property included within an established housing opportunity overlay zoning district is allowed regardless of and in addition to the underlying land use category or density limit established through Policy LU 4.1, Table LU 1 and Table LU 2, or any other conflict in the Land Use Element. A general plan amendment is not required to develop a residential use within an established housing opportunity zoning overlay district. The maximum density specified for the various overlay districts specified in Policy LU 4.2 is an average over the entire property or project site. For example, a portion of a development site may be developed at a higher density than specified by Policy 4. 4 provided other portions of the site are developed at lower densities such that the average does not exceed the maximum.
Density calculations and total units identified in LU 4.4 do not include units identified as pipeline units or units permitted pursuant to State density bonus law.

(1) Development limits are additional residential development opportunities beyond the base allowances in this Title or the and General Plan. These limits shall not include density bonus units or units that are either , including projects approved under those base allowances and units identified as pipeline units in the 6th Cycle Housing Element (Table B-2) or units that were applied for and predate the effective date of the HO Overlay Zoning Districts. Development limits shall not include density bonus units. Furthermore, eligible units are only counted against the development limits when they are either entitled or are issued a building permit if allowed by right. However, 25% of the development limit within each HO Overlay Zoning District that includes properties within the Coastal Zone shall be reserved until such a time as the City’s Local Coastal Program has been amended to allow for housing consistent with the implementation of the 6th Cycle Housing Element. Following the City’s Local Coastal Program Amendment, priority for the reserved units will be given to sites located within the Coastal Zone. (2) Minimum/maximum allowable density range may be based on an average density of the entire project site, excluding density bonus units.
(3) Any portion of the building that is over 20 feet in height shall be setback a minimum 20 feet from the street right-of- way.
(4) Except in the Mixed-Use Mariners Mile (MU-MM) Zoning District wherein residential uses are only allowed beginning 100 feet north of Coast Highway.

(8) The FAR in this table only applies to residential floor area, including any supporting facilities. In mixed -use developments, the FAR for nonresidential is still applicable. (9) For purposes of this section, common and private open space in HO-1 may include enclosed shared amenities such as a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball court, racquetball court, weightlifting facility, children’s playground equipment, sauna, jacuzzi, day care facility, or any other recreational amenities/facilities as deemed appropriate by the Community Development Director.
