district are intended to provide flexibility for both- the land use and
development standards in planned building groups. This PC district also
provides a statistical core consistent with the City of Newport Beach General
Plan upon which detailed development plans may be prepared.
The provisions of this Ordinance, notwithstanding all applicable requirements
of the City of Newport Beach Zoning Code, shall apply.
For the residentiai area 4Area NOT 54 and the San Diego Creek South parcel
(Area No. 4), this text shall serve only as core PC text delineating the
primary deveiopment constraints on the ?arcei land use. Prior to any further
discretionary actions for this site, amendments to this district shall be
required to establish specific intensity of development and site design
criteria including, but not limited to, building setbacks, building heights,
parking requirements, grading, landscaping, and street and circulation
requirements.
