Housing Element Sites Subcommittee
West Newport Mesa Area
Subcommittee Members Present: Selich, Kiley, & LePastrier
Also Present: Committee Chair Tucker
Staff Members Present: Campbell & Zdeba
Note: NBGIS Staff prepared an Ownership Inventory Map (attached) with a number
designated on each Parcel in the Study Area. The committee organized the parcels in
groups reflective of their characteristics. References to Groups and parcel numbers
below correspond to the numbers assigned to each Parcel on the Ownership Inventory
Map.
The Subcommittee only considered if the Parcels would physically be able to
accommodate housing in place of or in addition to the current use of the Parcels.
Parcels were assigned one of three grades: Feasible, Potentially Feasible and
Infeasible. Feasible sites are those that appear that they could feasibly be redeveloped
for housing or have housing added to the Parcel while the current use remains in whole
or in part, Potentially Feasible sites are those that may work as housing and Infeasible
sites are those that the Subcommittee determined would not work as housing due to
existing improvements on the site, insufficient size and/or inefficiencies due to the
configuration of the Parcel. The Subcommittee acknowledges that it does not have all
the facts about the various Parcels and that therefore some of the Parcels could have
been wrongly assigned the grade of Feasible or Potentially Feasible. Staff will be
following up with many of the owners and that follow-up should provide more pertinent
information about each Parcel for which an owner responds.
The subcommittee discussed the need to preserve opportunities for smaller scale
industrial and service businesses in the City overall, and in the West Newport Mesa in
particular. Areas 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12, are characterized by smaller parcels with smaller
scale buildings. Due to the varying conditions and constraints of these smaller parcels
the subcommittee decided to recommend a zoning overlay concept with the thought that
some but not all will convert to residential. The subcommittee feels that it is important to
not convert everything to residential in order to have a city with a well balanced land use
plan.
Before any property owners are contacted, the Full Committee, after public input, would
have to find that housing on a Parcel would be a suitable use.
1. Newport Health Care – Fairly recent construction as an Industrial Research
property converted to medical office use. Parking areas not suitable for
conversion to residential. - Infeasible

Subcommittee Progress Reports
2. Ebb Tide – Recent construction as small lot single family. - Infeasible
3. Road & Track – Being converted to private school offices. - Infeasible
4. Coastline College – Building and parking lot configuration do not present the
opportunity for any conversion to residential. - Infeasible
5. School – Private school; not suitable for conversion of any part to residential. -
Infeasible
6. Utilities Yard / City Yard – These parcels are owned by the City. Parcels have
some older structures that can be replaced if both yards are consolidated or
partially used for residential. Constraints include the water reservoir, water
treatment facilities, and communications tower on the Utilities Yard parcel and
the trash transfer station on the City Yard parcel. Most likely candidate is the
eastern portion of the Utilities Yard for an affordable residential project. City
Council needs to study feasibility. – Potentially Feasible
7. M.H. (Mobile Home Parks) – Four Mobile Home park sites of approximately 167
units. Conversion to residential would yield a potential 501 units. HCD “No net
loss” requirements would drop potential eligible units to 334. - Feasible
8. Area 1-Map ID #’s: Misc. Residential – Mostly existing residential not suitable for
redevelopment. One new commercial property not suitable for redevelopment
and one site owned by the City lease to a private school also not suitable for
redevelopment. - Infeasible
9. Area 2-Map ID #’s: 11, 13, 14, 44 – Middle aged office buildings across from
hospital with high demand for medical office use. - Infeasible
10. Area 3-Map ID #’s: 12, 41, 42, 49 - Medical office buildings and congregate care
across facilities across from hospital with high demand for medical office use. -
Infeasible
11. Area 4-Map ID #’s: Misc. Residential. – Mixture of various residential uses on
small parcels. - Infeasible
12. Area 5-Map ID #’s: 3, 39, 48, 117, 124, 228 - Mixture of residential and small
office parcels not suitable for redevelopment. - Infeasible
13. Area 6-Map ID #’s: 74, 122 – Residential uses not suitable for redevelopment. -
Infeasible
Housing Element Update Advisory Committee - October 7, 2020
Item No. V(a) Additional Materials Received
Subcommittee Progress Reports
14. Area 7-Map ID #’s: 24, 40 – Parcel 40 is Congregate Care – Infeasible
Parcel 24 is tilt up industrial with potential for redevelopment – Potentially
Feasible
15. Area 8-Map ID #’s: 17, 51 – Two larger parcels (for this area) with
Middle age industrial buildings. Potentially re-developable as residential
individually or by combining parcels with a zoning overlay. - Potentially Feasible
16. Area 9-Map ID #’s: 2, 10, 23 - Three parcels, one larger (for this area), with
Middle age industrial buildings. Potentially re-developable as residential
individually or by combining parcels with a zoning overlay. - Potentially Feasible
17. Area 10-Map ID #’s: 5, 6, 7, 9, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36,
37, 46, 47, 53, 55, 60, 61, 227 –
Parcels 55 & 61 are older low density residential under one ownership feasible
for redevelopment – Feasible
Remainder parcels are small middle aged mostly tilt up construction industrial
buildings that are infeasible on their own but potentially feasible with a zoning
overlay. - Potentially Feasible
18. Area 11-Map ID #’s: 14, 16 - Two parcels with middle age industrial buildings.
Potentially re-developable as residential individually or by combining parcels. -
Potentially Feasible
19. Area 12-Map ID #’s: 50, 56 - Two parcels with middle age industrial buildings.
Potentially re-developable as residential individually or by combining parcels. -
Potentially Feasible
