Site Location: Mariners' Mile (West Coast Highway between Dover Drive and Newport

Summary:
In 2011, the City Council recognized the need to revitalize Mariners' Mile and designated it as one of
six "revitalization areas" in Newport Beach. The Mariners' Mile Revitalization Master Plan serves as a
roadmap for revitalization of the corridor and provides guidance on how future change associated with
the revitalization can result in the best outcome for residents, business and property owners,
employees, and visitors. The Planning Commission is tasked with providing a recommendation for
adoption of this document to the City Council. If adopted by the City Council, the Mariners' Mile
Revitalization Master Plan (PA2016-081) will supersede the Mariners' Mile Strategic Vision and Design
Framework adopted by the City Council on October 10, 2000. A separate public notice will be sent for the
City Council to consider this item.
