REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PROJECT: Mariner's Mile Design Framework
SUBJECT: Initiation of an ordinance amendment implementing Mariner's
Mile Design Framework
LOCATION: Mariner's Mile Specific Plan and commercial properties located
on the north side of West Coast Highway between Rocky Point
and Dover Drive.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION: Adopt resolution of intent to initiate Amendment No. 900 which will
amend Title 20, Zoning Code and the Districting Maps.
Section 20.94.020 (B) of the Newport Beach Municipal Code provides that an amendment to the
Zoning Code be initiated by resolution of the Planning Commission or the City Council. Staff is
recommending that the City Council adopt the attached resolution of intent to initiate an
amendment to the Zoning Code and Districting Maps
The City, through Councilmember Glover's leadership, has been working with the Mariner's Mile
Business Owners Association and nearby residents to develop planning and policy
recommendations for the Mariner's Mile area. The intent and purpose of suggested policy changes
is to strengthen the area by promoting responsible urban design, cohesive signage and landscape
treatments and the promotion of a pedestrian oriented village between Riverside and Tustin
Avenues. The Design Framework will be used as a guiding policy document by the public and City
to shape future development activities within the Mariner's Mile area. To insure implementaitonof
these policies, staff is proposing to amend the Mariner's Mile Specific Plan and to create an
overlay district which would implement the same policies and design standards proposed for the
Specific Plan to all commercial properties on Mariner's Mile.
The City is planning a community forum to be held on Sunday, July 9, 2000 where the public will
be invited to participate in open informational sessions where the draft Design Framework and
proposed code changes will be discussed. Feedback about the draft Design Framework will be
incorporated and the overall project will be presented to the Planning Commission at a future
noticed public hearing before being forwarded back the City Council for consideration.
