• Open Space.
SECTION 2. The Northwest Newport section of the Local Coastal Program
Land Use Plan text shall be revised as follows:
5. CalTrans West. CalTrans West consists of approximately 14.25 acres
of vacant land located west of Superior Avenue, north of Pacific Coast
Highway, and south of the Newport Crest Condominium complex.
The preferred future use of the site is recreation/open space with active
recreational uses accommodated on the site. Specific park improvements and
the possible phasing of park uses if entitlement is transferred off -site shall be
consistent with the Recreation and Open Space Element.
The site is presently allocated 160 dwelling units subject to provisions
intended to facilitate the transfer of all of this entitlement to other properties
with special incentives relative to the transfer of entitlement to properties
within the CalTrans West service area (as specified in the Recreation and
Open Space Element) combined with a commitment of the owner of the
transferee parcel to construct park improvements on -site. Eight (8) of these
units are derived from the CalTrans Residual Parcel on the easterly side of
Superior Avenue, in consideration for the designation of that site for
Recreational and Environmental Open Space. The transfer of entitlement shall
generally proceed in accordance...
6. Hoag Expansion. The area between Newport Boulevard and and
the CalTrans Residual Parcel northerly of Coast Highway is designated for
Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities. [LCP No. 27]
Expansion of Hoag Hospital facilities may also be accommodated on the
site.
• 7. CalTrans Residual Parcel. The parcels owned by the California State
Department of Transportation and the City of Newport Beach on the easterly
side of Superior Avenue created by the realignment of Superior Avenue are
designated for Recreational and Environmental Open Space. This
designation is in consideration for eight (8) additional units allocated to the
CalTrans West site. Should the residential entitlement be exercised on the
CalTrans West site, this site may be used to partially satisfy the park
dedication requirements of the project.
