The City of Newport Beach has launched a comprehensive Land Use and Mobility Study to identify opportunities to enhance and improve the Corona del Mar (CdM) commercial corridor.

Study Objectives
  • Develop zoning regulations unique to CdM
  • Reduce barriers to investment
  • Implement parking solutions that balance all users
  • Enhance walkability & safety
  • Determine feasibility of other development opportunities
To better understand the existing corridor and identify opportunities for improvements, the project team conducted various analyses focusing on key topics such as land use, zoning, parking, mobility, public realm and programming, and economics to reflect the Study’s objectives. The work combined both quantitative, data driven analyses coupled with qualitative insights gathered through our outreach to business and property owners along the corridor.

The following draft goals and actions are intentionally diverse and dynamic, reflecting the needs and priorities learned throughout the Study.		 Project Area Map
