SECTION 1.STATEMENT OF FACTS.
1.The City Council Ad-Hoc Neighborhood Revitalization Committee,with full City Council
support,has initiated and fostered the preparation of architectural and landscape design
guidelines that would be applied to properties within the Lido Village area.
2.The Lido Village area is generally bounded by Newport Boulevard,32nd Street and
Newport Harbor.The planning area was expanded to include the commercial shops on
the west side of Newport Boulevard north of 32nd Street and the parking lots on the south
side of 32nd Street between Villa Way and Lafayette Avenue.
3.The Lido Village Design Guidelines are intended to be used by property owners and
designers to help unify the village and create a dynamic sense of place for the village.
They would also be used by the City to design future capital improvement projects.
4.The Ad-Hoc Neighborhood Revitalization Committee created a six-member Citizens
Advisory Committee (CAP)to guide the development of the design guidelines and
encourage public participation early in the process.The CAP has conducted a total of
five noticed public meetings held on July 27,2011,September 1,2011,September 15,
2011,October 6,2011,and October 27,2011.At the conclusion of the meetings,the
Lido Village CAP recommended City Council adoption of the Lido Village Design
Guidelines.
5.The use of four Cornerstones (Unification,Visual Appeal,Flexibility,and Sustain ability)
serve as the guiding principles of the Design Guidelines and will promote a unifying
theme for Lido Village and will foster the enhancement of gathering spaces and
connectivity throughout the village.
6.The Lido Village Design Guidelines establish architectural guidelines focusing on building
orientation and site planning,building form and massing,facade treatments,
storefronts and street interface,roofs,materials and applications,material wrapping,
door treatments,windows and glazing,shading and awnings,building signage,
architectural lighting,parking structures,and back of house treatments.Application of
these architectural guidelines to future development will promote district unity and
enhanced visual appeal in a flexible and sustainable way.
7.The Lido Village Design Guidelines establish landscape guidelines that not only apply to
plantings,but also identify hardscape,plazas,site furnishings,monumentation and
signage,screening elements,water features,public art and irrigation guidelines.
Significant attention is paid to streets,the waterfront,pedestrian connections,and links
Resolution No.2012-4

to surrounding neighborhoods.Landscaping and public improvements will serve as a
unifying element that will link Lido Village together.
8.The Lido Village Design Guidelines implement Land Use Element Policies LU 6.8.1
Urban Form,LU 6.8.5 Quality of Place/Streetscapes,LU 6.8.6 Historic Character,and
LU 6.8.7 Property Improvement as the Design Guidelines:1)promote and reinforce
Lido Village's pedestrian scale and urban form as a series of distinct centers and
connecting corridors,2)provide a framework to implement property and streetscape
improvements that improve Balboa Peninsula's visual quality,image,and pedestrian
character including well-defined linkages among the various properties,districts,
between the ocean and Bay,and along the Bay frontage,3)provides incentives for the
preservation of historic buildings and will ensure that new development will be
compatible with the scale,mass,and materials of existing structures,while allowing
opportunities for architectural diversity.
9.The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on October,20,2011,in the City
Hall Council Chambers,3300 Newport Boulevard,Newport Beach,California.A notice of

procedure making activities not associated with a project and does not have the potential for
resulting in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment (Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines).The adoption
of design guidelines does not authorize any specific development or project and would only
provide non-regulatory design guidance for future projects that would be subject to CEQA.

1.1 Location
Lido Village is located on the Pacific Coast
of Orange County,California,in the western
portion ofthe City of Newport Beach.It is situ-
ated on just under 17 acres of property at the
beginning of Balboa Peninsula,east of Newport
Boulevard,south of the Arches Bridge,adja-
cent to the West Lido Channel,and north of
32nd Street.The setting is unique because of
its waterfront exposure along Newport l-larbor
and proximity to the Pacific Ocean.
Regional access to Lido Village is provided
by State Route 55,which terminates in Costa
Mesa and becomes Newport Boulevard,and
by Pacific Coast Highway,located on the north
side of the Lido Channel.Primary access to
the site is provided by Via Lido,Newport Blvd,
and 32nd Street.This multi-modal Village is
not only accessed by pedestrians and vehicles,
but also by residents and visitors who use
watercraft and bicycles as common modes of
transportation.
Lido Village encompasses the site of the
current Newport Beach City Hall (to be relo-
cated in late 2012),the iconic Lido Theater and
Via Lido Plaza,the Lido Marina Village,St.
James Anglican Church,the J=irst Church of
Christian Scientist,as well as several retail and
office properties.

2.1 The Lido Village Overview
Lido Village serves as the primary thematic gateway for Newport Beach's
Balboa Peninsula.The Village provides local and regional destination
retail,entertainment,and mixed-use services.Similar to other retail
villages along the Peninsula,Balboa's Main Street and historic Mcl=adden's
Landing/Newport Pier,Lido Village has experienced numerous cycles of
growth and protraction.The vision is to revive Lido Village as a vibrant
destination,and mixed-use entertainment hub for surrounding neighbor-
hoods such as Lido Island,West Newport,Balboa Peninsula,and Greater
Newport Beach.A thoughtful approach,coupled with attractive and
distinctive architecture and landscape elements,will ensure timeless
execution as the Village evolves.Special considerations should be made
for future tenant mixes that better serve visitors without neglecting resi-
dents'needs.
Lido Village is composed of 5 distinctive Design Areas:Lido Marina Village,
Via Lido Plaza,City Hall,Lido Triangle,and Newport Boulevard Shops.
(Refer to exhibit on page 2-3).Each one of these Design Areas is made up
of multiple ownerships with varying degrees of intensity,use,and economic
vitality.The primary focus for these Guidelines is to reinforce the built envi-
ronment while respecting physical buildingforms and functional uses as they
relate to the pedestrian experience within the Village.Style and character
are secondary elements that will help contribute to the overall aesthetic
placemaking of Lido Village.Landscape architecture recommendations
serve as key unifying elements,linking the Village together by reinforcing
the public realm (i.e.street right-of-ways,sidewalks,travel lanes,on-street
parking,street trees,etc),pathways,view corridors,and outdoorspaces.It is
within the public realm where the City ofNewport Beach intends to provide
guidance for landscape improvements that could enhance the overall vision
for the Village as well as provide the greatest public benefit.

Lido Marina Village
At the northern point of Lido Village.the Lido Marina Village is the most
visible gateway to the Balboa Peninsula.This Design Area is currently
occupied by an eclectic mix of building types.Land uses include commer-
cial office buildings,retail storefronts,a
parking structure,and pedestrian-oriented
businesses on the northern portion of
Via Oporto and fronting onto the harbor.
Development should strive to improve the
edge conditions along major streets and
improve the pedestrian experience along
the waterfront.thereby attracting new
tenant mixes to revitalize the Village.
Design Areas &Goals
Lido Marina Village Goals,
Respect and complement existing taller
buildings and massing.
Implement quality building design and the
use of authentic materials to influence
design solutions.
Improve edge conditions with Newport
Harbor.Newport Boulevard.and Via Lido.
reinforcing the gateway element.
Use high quality materials for public space
improvements that reinforce Village character.
Maximize promenade and waterfront access to improve the publici
visitor experience.
~ncourage the upgrade of dock and ramp systems with the reorganization
of docks further away from pedestrian boardwalk to maximize views of the
access to the harbor.
Lido Village is divided into Rve distinct Design Areas having unique phys-
ical attributes and design influences.Improvements should be inspired by
improving physical interface of buildings.landscape,and circulation within
each design area,It is also importantto address the surrounding or adjacent
land uses to ensure compatibility with form.function.and programming.
Planning Area Boundaries
Via Lido Plaza City f-lall Goals:
Lido Triangle Goals:
Provide quality outdoor spaces that are
publicly accessible.
Improve the Newport Boulevard and 32nd Street
interfaces to create a secondary gateway.
Provide forincreased bUilding heights on the City
Hall Site with emphasis on mixed use zoning.
Incorporate a dynamic tenant mix that maximizes
value without compromising existing owners and
their tenant mixes.
Balance residential needs with visitor services.
Use appropriate architectural styles with historic
references in the design elements of new
buildings.
Provide emphasis for pedestrian connections
and public space.
Improvements should be sensitive to the less-
intensive existing land uses of worship and
residential sites.
Traffic calming devices should be incorporated
into Via Lido to promote safe streetenvironments
for residents and patrons.
BUilding massing should be more horizontal in
form.reinforcing the pedestrian interface.
Pursue added joint parking opportunities.
Lido Triangle
Lido Triangle contains the Lido Building,the St.
James Anglican Church.and the First Church
of Christian Scientist.These institutions.along
with existing residential homes.have a distinct
yet understated presence within the Village.Any
improvements needto address the delicate inter-
face with residents and church parishioners.
fnhance retail.dining,and entertainment
experiences within Via Lido Plaza.
Complement secondary tenant retail mix
by creating diverse fa/fade treatments that
encourage pedestrian &storefront interaction.
Complement the unique design qualities of the
Lido Theater and Griffith Building.
Introduce quality materials in faliade treatments,
hardscape and softscape applications.
fnhance pedestrian connectivity to other
Design Areas.
liDO VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES I DECEMBER 2011
Via Lido Plaza Goals:
Via Lido Plaza is an existing mixed-use retail,
entertainment,and commercial center with an
anchor supermarket.supporting retail.theater,
restaurants,and office uses.A series of small
pedestrian friendly courtyards and walkways
create a positive internal pedestrian experience.
Improvements within this design area should seek to improve street front
retail along Via Lido as well as improve pedestrian connectivity to adja-
cent properties.Careful attention should be paid to Newport Boulevard,
ensuring retail visibility,pedestrian safety,and vehicular access.
City ~all
The relocation of the current City Hall site to a
new state-of-the-art facility opens up a unique
opportunity for redevelopment at a key intersec-
tion in Newport Beach.The site has a strong visual
impact onthe Village with connectionto the beach
along 32nd Street.Improvements should feature
enhanced public spaces with a pedestrian focus.
Major roadways should be improved.reinforcing
pedestrian connectivity to the rest of the Village.
Newbuildings should also relate to the mix ofuses
ofthe surrounding parcels.
Relationship of Lido Village fdges and Connections to Surroundings
Newport Boulevard Shops
This area within Lido Village includes a variety
of storefronts facing Newport Boulevard on the
west.A mix of retail shops and restaurants with
offices on the second floor make up this study
area.Included within this strip of commer-
cial uses is the only gas station on the Balboa
Peninsula.The southernmost property in this
design area backs onto the Rivo Alto Canal.Because of the intensity
of Newport Boulevard traffic,pedestrian safety and retail identity need
to be considered.Storefront architecture and signage improvements
combined with landscape design,enhanced pedestrian crossings,fixtures,
and furnishings have the ability to transform this row of shops into a more
vibrant corridor,framing the gateway to the Balboa Peninsula.
Goals:
Complement Via Lido Plaza and City Hall Design
Areas.
Improve pedestrian experience and safety.
Incorporate quality tenant mix that complements
other Newport Boulevard parcels.
Design building massing and storefront
improvements to be more horizontal in form,
reinforcing the pedestrian interface.
Seek opportunities to incorporate view corridor
access to the Rio Alto Canal into future design
efforts when appropriate.
2.4 Village Edges and Boundaries
Lido Village is defined by distinctive edges that are made up of different
elements with varying degrees of pedestrian and vehicular access and
visual corridors.To the north and east,Newport I-larbor defines Lido
Marina Village down to Cannery Village.Newport Boulevard defines the
western boundary of Lido Village,separating the shops from the rest of
the Village.32nd Street,to the south,separates Lido Village from Cannery
Village.All of these edges represent opportunities to unify and link the
surrounding areas to Lido Village.eor example,proposingan iconic pedes-
trian bridge connection from the Village to PCH and Mariner's Mile.
•
Edge Condition Criteria
The Design Guidelines for Lido Village are intended to improve the urban
experience.Key to this success is understanding and defining critical
edges that make up the various study areas.The following section aims
to provide guidance for improving the urban experience by addressing
the pedestrian and building interface with additional internal pedestrian
circulation,monumentation,and gathering places or nodes.
Because there are multiple ownerships and varying tenant mixes,
addressing the public/private interfaces is critical for improving the Village.
Architectural styling and detailing are important.however,that is not the
primary focus of these Design Guidelines.Styles come and go,but good
urban form stands the test of time.
The waterfront is a valued asset to the Village;however,there currently is
limited accessibility to the waterfront for patrons and visitors.The design
suggestions and applications presented in this section seek to provide
property owners with the ideas and building blocks to enhance the visi-
tor's experience and attract new tenants.patrons.and residents by paying
careful altention to the treatment of visible edges and views.
The following series of diagrams are intended to depict the critical
edges within each of the sub areas.It is important that critical edges
are deAned and support positive future development palterns within the
Village.It should be noted that locations of certain landmarks/monu-
mentation and nodes are not Axed and should be considered with site
specific improvements.

Because lido Village is situated along Newport I-larbor and within a short
distance to the beach.it is important that these Guidelines promote the
enhancement of that connectivity.Public improvements will be coordi-
nated with land owners to ensure quality and continuity during the design
process.Land owners will be encouraged.where needed,to incorporate
clearly defined pedestrian pathways and nodes that encourage walkability
and people places within the Village.Landscaping paired with hardscape
treatments are intended to reinforce the area's maritime influences.
Streets offer vehicular and pedestrian circulation that reinforce the visual
recognition of the location within the Village.Streets are a fundamental
component of the public realm and are notjust for vehicular conveyance.
For example,Via Lido could be modified by increasing sidewalks.intro-
ducing angled parking and eliminating the existing landscape median (see
below for proposed concept street section).Any street improvements
within theVillage should bedesigned with the pedestrian in mind.Because
there are major roadways and high volume streets,pedestrian safety is of
utmost concern.

2.6 Sustainability
Consideration for the environment and sustainable building practices is
a cornerstone of the lido Village Design Guidelines.It is important to
note that these sustainability components are to be realistic and imple-
mentable and not a burden to existing land owners.This document will
outline varying degrees ofapplications and practices that could be incor-
porated into property improvements,offering the land owner different
options for accomplishing energy efficient and resource-conscious
designs.These design elements will be highlighted throughout the docu-
ment in the form of sustainable practices and will be easily identiRed
with the following symbol:~
•
Sustainable Concepts
Implement environmental policies established by the City of Newport
Beach (CNB)and identify incorporation strategies to improve the
quality of the Village.Please refer to CNB Municipal Code section
14.17 for landscape strategies and water consumption.Also refer
to CNB Municipal Code section 14.36 for water quality standards.
Additional information is also provided within the City of Newport
Beach General Plan.
Improve indoor/outdoor air quality and improve energy efficiencies
within buildings.
Promote use ofalternative transportation,thus reducing dependence on
the automobile (i.e.attractive bus stops,bike racks,and bike storage).
Decrease the urban heat index by incorporating design elements that
reduce the heat island effect.
£nhance the environmental quality of the site by reducing pollution
of waterways,controlling and treating runoff,and maintaining mature
trees and native vegetation.

3.1 Introduction
The intent of the architectural objectives of the Design Guidelines is
to create a framework for future development that assists in imple-
menting the future vision of Lido Village.The Guidelines provide
design and implementation goals and standards based upon existing

5 individual design-areas that could be a stc;lnd-alone project unto
themselves.the full potential of delivering a quality project can only
be accomplished through an integrated design approach.
The following section seeks to establish a "Go J=orward"strategy
that addresses reinforcing the urban experience within the Village.

3.3 Architectural Styles
f=or over 100 years,Newport Beach has evolved a style of architecture
that is fitting for a world class beach City.~Iements of classic American
architecture have been used over time in a vernacular that is appropriate
to the beach setting Through a collaborative public/private process,two
architectural styles emerged to best represent a "go forward"patt~rn for
the Village.While there are mixed styles existing within the surrounding
area,the two styles of Coastal and Mediterranean were selected based
upon the historic relevance and future vision.Application of these two
styles should be authentic in form,function,and material composition.
LIDO VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES I DECEMBER 2011II
Coastal
The CityofNewport Beach has a rich and storied past,present.and future
with strong ties to the ocean.Both private and industrial maritime uses
have shared the harbor for over100 years.The Coastal style reflects this
heritage with its subtle nautical elements and modest utilitarian forms
reminiscent of seafront structures in American coastal towns.Examples
of this style can be seen along lv1ariner's Mile in Newport Beach.The
conversion of use from industrial to commercial and residential have influ-
enced the form and function of the structures over time.
The characteristics of this eclectic style include simple gable roofs.tight
overhangs/rakes.trellises,and simple block massing.Siding materials may
consist of wood siding.board-and·batten,and shingles.Buildings appear
to have been designed to withstand coastal conditions and often have a
weathered appearance.Standing seam metal roofs or asphalt shingles are
appropriate roofing materials.Colors are chosen to blend into the land-
scape,with subtle pastel hues.Decorative highlights include painted trim
in white or another contrasting color.
Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Style is a family of architectural styles that originate from
southern coasts of European countries.These are not strictly a European
vernacular,but rather are an American stylization gathering influences from
Spanish.Italian.F=rench.and Andalusian.Broad overhangs,courtyards.and
strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces were easily adapted
to the Southern California climate and lifestyle.High,open ceilings with heavy
massed facades complement urban settings with retail and commercial users.
This style is typically simple and elegant.Rectilinear forms are predominantly
symmetrical in composition.Wall panes with clearly defined openings and
entry detailing are common with storefront applications.Roof pitches are
typically shallower with gabled and shed design reducing the overall height
appearance of the building forms.Exterior wall planes are integrated into the
building design with simple stucco covering.Warm muted base colors with
complementary accent colors are common within the style.Courtyards are
integrated within the building forms and are encouraged within the Village.
Stone or brick accents and veneers,reminiscent of the Tuscan vernacular,
are discouraged within the Village.
Avoid mixing different decorative
motifs in building ornamentation.Coastal and Modern Elements
Combining Styles and Progressive Applications.
Within Lido Village,there are multiple styles of existing architecture
and interpretive vernaculars.As the future vision of the Village evolves,
Coastal and Mediterranean styles are intended to become the predomi-
nant styles when landowners and their tenants choose to upgrade their
properties.Because these styles are unique within their own defini-
tions,combining styles should only be done with great consideration and
caution.For example,the Monterey style of architecture,with the combi-
nation of stucco on the first floor and wood siding on the second,could
be a case where the two styles are combined.Any improvements should
avoid looking dated and forced.
By drawing inspiration from these two styles,progressive applications
may be applied to new construction or remodels.Improving parties can
and should look for creative design solutions while respecting the heri-
tage of the style.Massing,forms,materials,and colors could be used
to convey a progressive or modern
design interpretation.I-ligh quality
materials should be used whenever
possible to ensure authenticity within
the design execution.
Avoid combining elements of more
than two architectural styles.
Use a consistent blend of stylistic
treatments throughout all visible
building facade.
Chose materials that complement
one another.
Pair smoother surfaces with heavily
textured materials to create an
appealing contrast.

liDO VILLAGE DESIGN GUIDELINES I DECEMBER 2011
AND seA ~E~~~~~~__
Introduction
Lido Village is a significant gateway to the Balboa Peninsula.The land-
scape and hardscape elements are fundamental components for revital-
izing Lido Village.While architecture is important,the landscape (plants
and hardscape materials)will become the unifying elements that tie the
Village together to create a true sense of place.Components of the
beach,harbor,and California ~riendly plants are the predominant themes
incorporated into the design aesthetic.
This section describes the design intent for the Village gateways,intersec-
tions,streetscapes,plazas,gardens,and common areas,both public and
private.In addition,auxiliary and service spaces surrounding buildings will
be addressed with design solutions.
The public realm (i.e.street right-of-ways,sidewalks,travel lanes,on-street
parking,street trees,ete),will be a critical component of the landscape
improvements within the Village.The intent of the Design Guidelines is
to provide design guidance rather than specific applications.The ultimate
design and detailing should draw inspiration from this document and even-
tually be implemented through proper City improvement directives.It is
the intent of the City of Newport Beach to provide the greatest public
benefit by improving and utilizing City property to spur revitalization for ~
the Village as a whole.

4.2 General Landscape Character
The landscape tree rhythms,paving textures,shrub massing are intended
to be the unifying element of the Village.A simple palette of palm,ever-
green shade trees,and semi-tropical varietals with a simple ground-
plane of rich paving materials will provide visitors and residents with an
enhanced experience.~igh quality materials should be used to improve
the "sense of place"that recalls the rich and colorful history of Lido
Village.Progressive applications with these classic materials should be
considered but used appropriately to convey modern and timeless execu-
tion.Decorative banners,colorful planters adjacent to storefronts,and
lively public and private plazas should be encouraged to improve excite-
ment and fiair within the Village.Amenity features such as site furnishings,
fountains,lighting,and signage will also complement and unify Lido Village,
Universal Landscape Guidelines
*Village amenities and features shall have a distinctive character that
is both progressive and timeless,serving to strengthen the identity of
the district as a cohesive whole.
(J)Landscape transitions between buildings,parking lots,and roadways
should be created to encourage pedestrian connectivity,enhance the
aesthetics of the development,and facilitate efficient storm water
management,both in quality and quantity.These transitions can and
should include bio-swales that maximize storm water management
benefits.
(J)Impervious surfaces should be limited,favoring planting areas,Where
hardscape is necessary,permeable pavers should be considered
whenever possible,Where permeable pavers are not an option,light
colored concrete with shell aggregate should be considered (see page
4-20 for example).
(J)Shading devices should also be implemented in order to help reduce
the urban heat island effect,Strategies for shading may include the
use of shade/canopy trees in parking lots and roadways and the use
of architectural shading devices such as solar panel arrays,awnings,
trellises,shade 'sails',and umbrellas in pedestrian areas.
LIDO VILLAGE Dr::SIGN GUIDE:LINE.S IDECEMBER 2011
(J)California Friendly plant species with low watering requirements and
characteristics that are compatible with the climate,soils,and setting
should compose the majority of the plant palette.
(J)The irrigation systems for the Village's planting areas shall be
designed,constructed,managed,and maintained to achieve as high
efficiency as possible.
(J)Buildings and landscape elements shoulb be sighted to maXimIZe
energy savings through passive techniques such as day lighting,
natural ventilation and appropriate use of shade and buffering from
the elements.
o Due to the geographic location of this district,any future develop-
ment should strive to make this as walkable and pedestrian-friendly
as possible through the use of bike lanes,wide sidewalks with
buffers to roadways,and/or opportunities for alternative modes of
transportation.
(J)The preservation of mature trees should be encouraged wherever feasible.
(J)New or renovated planter areas should be a minimum of 5'x 5'
whenever possible,allowing for a significant shade or palm tree to be
installed.Additionally,all median planters shall include non-planted
maintenance strips.

Conceptual Monumentation
As an underlying theme throughout the Village,landscape,hardscape
and open space improvements should draw influences from the Coastal
and/or Nautical themes.For example,drawing inspiration from the proud
sailing heritage of Newport Beach.a series of icon sail elements could be
introduced as vertical features within the Village.Much like the different
regattas,such as the Newport to Ensenada Race or the Flight of the
Snowbirds,the sails should be of varying sizes and configurations.These
sails would be light and thematic,made from high-tech weather resistant
material that could be transparent during the day and light up at night.
Clusters of these sails could be placed throughout the Village replicating
the pageantry and excitement of these heralded regattas and the area's
maritime heritage.These elements could also serve as the thematic monu-
mentation,announcing ones arrival into Lido Village.
These concepts are offered in the following character renderings on the
facing page to inspire a future vision for the Village.A combination of
public art and landscaping elements should be applied on a Village wide
basis to ensure continuity and quality.The City of Newport Beach retains
the rights to review and comment on landscape design matters within both
public and private lands in accordance with these Guidelines and appli-
cable zoning and land use regulations and policies.Final design and imple-Key Map:Study Area

4.3 Arrival Gateway Intersection
A celebratory gateway is envisioned at the intersection of Newport
Boulevard and Via Lido in order to provide an identinable icon of Lido
Village and to announce arrival onto Balboa Peninsula.The concept will
honor the nautical tradition of Newport Beach and utilize the timeless
beauty of rich paving materials and iconic palm trees.Improvements for
this gateway should be incorporated and constructed on City property,
not burdening private landowners.
A series of design elements that unify the Village will become the central
theme.Streetlights with graphic banners that announce the seasonal
celebration or current festival will be rhythmically sited among a grove of
palm trees,punctuating the skyline and creating an iconic scene for Lido
Village.Enhanced paving and uniform signage and site furnishings will also
contribute to the unincation of the Village.
A series of Design f/ements Unifies and Enhances the Village Theme.

4.4 Intersection Hierarchy
The Arrival Gateway Intersection is a primary focal point for creating a
statement and selling the 'theme'for Lido Village.Secondary intersections
will provide an opportunity to further enhance the pedestrian experience
and strengthen the identity of the Village.The three secondary intersec-
tions (Via Lido and Via Oporto,Via Lido and 32nd Street and Newport

4.5 Streetscape Hierarchy and Identity
'Green Sheets'
The City of Newport Beach is committed to sustainable practices and
should incorporate "Green Street"methodologies within the public rights-
of-way.Green Streets have the ability to reduce runoff,improve water
quality of nearby bodies of water,reduce Aooding,increase groundwater,
improve air quality,and enhance the pedestrian experience.
The streets within the Lido Village serve a dual purpose,vehicular and
pedestrian movement and an aesthetically pleasing environment to the
Village as a whole.Scale and the experience between buildings,pedes-
trian interfaces,and traffic volumes will be addressed for each level of
streetscape design.Because the Village has evolved organically over time
without a cohesive master plan,each of the streets has its own unique
charader and purpose.By addressing the individual elements that
compose a streetscape,the streets within Lido Village will be different
than other districts,thereby informing residents and visitors that this is a
unique place.
.:.Incorporate traffic calming measures such as roundabouts and pop-
Quts,and planter islands on local streets to encourage vehicular move-
ment while reducing speeds,idling,and congestion.Consideration of
bicyclists should be included in the master plan,including dedicated
bicycle lanes,parking and storage areas,
~Incorporate pervious pavement surfaces in key locations such as
on-street parking spaces,alleys,and/or pedestrian corridors.
(!)Capture,treat.and infiltrate urban runoff using vegetated filtration
techniques such as planters,curb extensions,and curb inlets.
(!)Utilize shade trees along streets and in parking lots to reduce the
urban heat island effect.

Newport Boulevard
Newport Boulevard serves as the major thoroughfare,providing access
to and from Balboa Peninsula.This high volume arterial corridor has a
significant impact on the Village in both design and conveyance.Because
of its high volume,special attention to the pedestrian safety and vehicular
interface needs to be addressed.It is the intent of these guidelines to
improve the pedestrian safety along Newport Boulevard while not inter-
rupting traffic flows,and trip volumes or restricting retail visibility.
Tree Grates in an Urban Setting
One of the principal aspects of the concept plan is to create a wide,green
buffer on the east (northbound)side of the road.Creating a protected
pedestrian space adjacent to the street will provide a much greater sense
of place and aesthetic for Lido Village.This buffer will be contained by
open space 'bookends':the Arrival Gateway Intersection at Via Lido and
the Secondary Intersection at 32nd Street.

The west (southbound)side of Newport Boulevard is currently devoid of

Via lido is the unifying street the runs through the heart of the Village.
While complementing Newport Boulevard,Via Lido sets the theme and
character for the Village.serving the mix of uses while delivering residents
to lido Isle.It is imperative that any improvements to the landscape along
this street do not impede retail exposure nor restrict pedestrian or vehic-
ular movement.
As the '!-lear!'of lido Village,Via lido should be the epicenter of activity
and excitement.Extending from the Arrival Gateway Intersection at
Newport Boulevard,the enhanced paving and themed planting of f'an
Palms should continue in a rhythmic pattern.Evergreen canopy trees
will also occur in rhythm,alternating with the palms to provide shade for
shoppers and storefronts.The groundplane should remain simple,green,
and neatly maintained to provide continuity from building to building and
space to space,while the hardscape maintains the patterns and texture of
the arrival gateway,adding a soft richness to the setting.
Opportunities for lively expression should occur through the use of
planters with colorful landscaping,graphic banners on pole lights,public
art,water features,and interactive signage.The excitement is slightly
reduced South of Via Oporto as the setting transitions to residential and
lower density commercial.The tree rhythm and paving,however,will
continue to maintain visual and aesthetic continuity.

32nd Street serves as the southern boundary and transitional street
between Lido Village and Cannery Village.This street also serves as the
principal visual and physical link conneding Lido Village to the beach.This
linkage shall be reinforced by widening sidewalks,enhancing crosswalks,
and utilizing way-Rnding graphics and signage.
Presently,there is no vegetation on the south side of 32nd Street adja-
cent to the commercial buildings.Conceptual improvements may include
'Rnger islands'that would occur every four parking spaces to create a
street-tree rhythm of canopy and palm trees.!-lead-in,diagonal parking
would create an increased driver awareness that,in turn,will slow down
vehicular traffic,making the street more pedestrian friendly.
32nd Street
The enhanced paving,street tree rhythm.and other thematic elements
such as signage,streetscape lighting,graphic banners,and site furnishings
will extend between intersedions at Newport Boulevard and Via Lido.
Future development for 32nd Street to the west of Newport Boulevard
should incorporate the same patterns and materials to further emphasize
the Bay to Beach linkage.

Via Oporto and Via Malaga
Via Oporto and Via Malaga are local streets within Lido Village that provide
access to City I-lall,Via Lido Plaza,and multiple ownerships within the Lido
Triangle Design Area.Via Malaga has similar complementary traits,with,
narrow lane configuration and on street parking.Because of both streets
narrow rights-of-way and one-way lane configurations.future improve-
ments should consider improving pedestrian connectivity.I=urthermore,
special consideration need to be made for service accessibility to the City
I-lall site and Via Lido Plaza.Careful attention should be paid to poten-
tial pedestrian and service vehicle conflicts and resolved through creative
design solutions.The west side of Via Oporto and portions of Via Malaga
should be considered for a 'pedestrian zone',with a wider sidewalk and
planter areas to encourage pedestrian movement and provide better
aesthetics to future uses.
In line with the Village themes,Via Oporto and Via Malaga will contain the
pedestrian-friendly,street tree language of canopy/shade trees,a simple
ground plane,enhanced intersections,and Village signage and site furnish-
ings.Further analysis and ultimate improvement considerations should be
made on these street segments and interactions with adjacent land uses
at a later date.

of retail and entertainment tenants could improve the marina experience.
The elevated pedestrian terrace is envisioned to play host to an array of
shopping,dining,hospitality,and activity-related businesses.A proposed
pedestrian footbridge,connecting Lido Village to Mariner's Mile and Pacific
Coast I-lighway,merits future consideration as well.A reconfiguration of
the docks and slips should be considered to improve unimpeded views to

Water Providing White Noise
Fountains are the centerpieces of many plazas,courtyards,and visual
corridors throughout the world.Water is a life-giving element and should
be treated as such by creating dynamic,fundional,and classic features at
key locations throughout Lido Village.As water features are one of the
most costly landscape elements to install and maintain,care should be
given to any feature's placement and intended use.

4.9 Irrigation Guidelines
With new regulations being enacted at all levels,the costs and implica-
tions of using excess water for irrigation will become greater and more
expensive.With that in mind,irrigation systems for lido Village shall be
designed,constructed,managed,and maintained to achieve as high an
overall efficiency as possible.The following is a list of strategies prop-
erty owners and the City should undertake to ensure optimum irrigation
efficiency:
(J)All of the plant species selected for this project have a low to medium
water usage rating and shall be planted with like species according
to their respective Water Use Classifications of Landscape Species
(WUCOLS)plant factor in order to prevent excess water use.
(J)The amount of water used for irrigation shall be calculated in
accordance with California Assembly Bill 1881 that mandates a 70%
reduction from the baseline evapotranspiration rate for Newport
Beach.
(J)Turf grass should be used sparingly throughout the Village.(::ven in
these cases,artificial-turf or other alternatives should be explored.
(J)All irrigation systems on the site shall be designed to prevent runoff.
over-spray,low-head drainage,and other similar conditions where
water flows off the intended planting area.
(J)Irrigation systems shall include a 'smarl'((::T)irrigation controller,
which automatically adjusts the frequency and/or duration of irrigation
events in response to changing weather conditions.
(J)On-site irrigation should be either a drip-line or point-to-point drip
irrigation system with low precipitation rate heads/nozzles in turf
areas and low-flow bubbler emitters at all tree locations.
(J)The City of Newport Beach should consider studying the costs and
associated benefits of implementing a municipal reclaimed water
system for use in landscape irrigation.
(J)Use of future reclaimed water system should be mandatory if such a
system is implemented and available to the site.

The general Plant Palette for public spaces and private property in Lido
Village will further reinforce the design concepts of modern,timeless,and
simple,California-friendly plant species have been selected for their dura-
bility,resistance to disease,low water use requirements,for their historical
and current use around Newport Beach.
The landscape,as mentioned,will be the unifying element that ties
together the Village and creates a sense of place for residents and visitors,
The groundplane will be simple and bold,consisting of multiple 'tiered'
layers of plants to provide depth and continuity throughout the Village,
By limiting the overall palette and creating a noticeable rhythm with the
plants,the charader and image of Lido Village will be emphasized and
remembered as a specinc destination,and a special place in Newport

A.l Planning Authority I Stakeholder Roles
On January 25th 2011,The City of Newport Beach adopted the Lido Village
Concept Plan Alternative 5B.This preferred alternative was the culmina-
tion ofa collaborative planning and visioning effort,undertaken by a multi-
disciplinary team of consultants,with input from land owners and members
of the community.The City of Newport Beach spearheaded these efforts
with the support of other major stakeholders:Via Lido Partners,(The Fritz
Duda Co.),Vornado Realty Trust,and Marshall Property &Development.
Other minor stakeholders and land owners were also involved in the
process,providing valuable insight and thoughtful contribution.
Recognizing the importance of Lido Village to the residents of Newport
Beach,the design team continued an active engagement with the public.
By engaging a Citizens Advisory Panel (CAP)and through public outreach,
the Design Guidelines for Lido Village are the result of a collaborative
effort.Outreach efforts included multiple meetings and workshops with
the CAP as well as a public Open House.At these outreach opportuni-
ties,participants voiced opinions and recommendations for the Village re-
vitalization.It is through this collaborative approach that the Lido Village
Design Guidelines represent the concerted effort of a successful public-
private partnership work effort.
Responsibility of Design review and projectimplementation will be the City
of Newport Beach Community Development Department.Adherence to
General Plan and Zoning policies and regulations will outline requirements
specific to individual parcels while the Design Guidelines will influence
theme and character.
The following is a graphic history of the development of the concept plan:

relating to deficiencies within the Village including parking,mix of tenants,
antiquated buildings,and circulation,While the plan addresses these
issues to a degree,additional studies and strategy plans are recommended
to address specific issues not covered within this document.
While this document provides design standards or guidelines for improve-
ment,underlying zoning and regulation will determine the ultimate uses
and mixes within the Village.The following City of Newport Beach regula-
tions apply to the land use and intensity of development for properties

A.4 Adopted Concept Plan
Through collaboration among stakeholders and the commu-
nity.a consensus plan was created.On January 25th.2011,
the City of Newport Beach City Council approved an initial
concept plan for the Lido Village study area.During this
process.key design elements and land uses were incorpo-
rated into the plan.
Today Lido Village is challenged with providing sufficient
and well-located parking for the various tenants.An addi-
tional study is recommended to address the deficiencies and
quality of parking facilities within the Village.Associated with
this future study,emphasis needs to be placed on pedestrian
circulation and connectivity.Neither one can be addressed
without the other.
Concept Plan Alternative 5B encompasses the following
design objectives that were universally envisioned during the
master planning process:
Create people places or outdoorliving rooms for pedestrians
throughout the Village.
~ncourage the use of iconic architectural buildings as way-
finding elements.
Re-tool Lido Marina Village to incorporate visitor-serving
retail,entertainment,and boutique hospitality components.
Incorporate mixed-use,residential,and civic land uses within
the City Hall site.
Redevelop Via Lido Plaza with a new anchor tenant building
location and consolidation of smaller format shops.
Provide green space or open space elements within the
City Hall site,featuring fountains a and plaza for events
and public gatherings.
Increase residential units within the Lido Triangle area and
other waterfront ownerships.
Maintain existing circulation element and traffic flows of
public streets.
