The Newport Banning Ranch Project (Project) proposes the development of up to 1,375 residential dwelling units, 75,000 square feet of commercial uses, and 75 overnight resort accommodations on a Project site of approximately 401 acres.
These uses are consistent with the description of the proposed land uses for this property in the Newport Beach General Plan, adopted by the City and its electorate in 2006.
The Project Applicant has submitted applications for a Planned Community Development Plan, a Master Site Plan, a Zoning Code Amendment, and a Vesting Tentative Tract Map to the City for review. More specific information regarding the Project location and setting, existing conditions and the proposed development, including the necessary discretionary approvals, are set forth below.
