Newport / Irvine Coast Planned Community
Newport Coast is a large, “high-end” residential
development located on the coastal hills overlooking
the Pacific Ocean. Master planned in the 1980’s, the
overall plan included roadways, hotels, residential
communities, a community park and a number of
smaller neighborhood parks, and open space areas.
The landscape is envisioned to be evocative of the
surrounding natural landscape and to maximize
views. Each community is designed to fit in with the
overall coastal landscape concept, but will retain its
own unique character. Because of the location of the
project, the plan was processed through the Coastal
Commission as well as the approvals process of Orange
County.
