Newport Beach General Plan

26 February 2010 - 12:43pm
Summary: 
General plan designed to preserve vision of coastal community

The Newport Beach General Plan had to be approved by voters. The new general plan reduced potential office and industrial capacities by more than four million square feet, instead designating land for 3,000 more housing units than were permitted by the old plan. The plan is an effort to meet the community vision and preserve the unique and beautiful coastal community. City officials won voter approval for the new plan through newsletters, public meetings and study sessions.

Imagine being able to walk from most parts of an city to small local farms that are integrated into preserved green spaces and green belts and that supply fresh produce and farm goods into the farmers markets at the hearts of our neighborhoods.
