20.22.010 Purposes of Mixed-Use Zoning Districts.
The purposes of the individual mixed-use zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied
are provided below. For the purpose of this Zoning Code, mixed-use projects shall comply with
nonresidential standards when no mixed-use standards exist.
A. MU-V (Mixed-Use Vertical) Zoning District. This zoning district is intended to provide for areas
appropriate for the development of mixed-use structures that vertically integrate residential dwelling
units above the ground floor with retail uses including office, restaurant, retail, and similar
nonresidential uses located on the ground floor or above.
B. MU-MM (Mixed-Use Mariners’ Mile) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to properties
located on the inland side of Coast Highway in the Mariners’ Mile Corridor (See Figure A-5, attached
to the ordinance codified in this title). Properties fronting on Coast Highway may be developed for
nonresidential uses only. Properties to the rear of the commercial frontage may be developed for
freestanding nonresidential uses, multi-unit residential dwelling units, or mixed-use structures that
integrate residential above the ground floor with nonresidential uses on the ground floor.
C. MU-DW (Mixed-Use Dover/Westcliff) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to properties
located in the Dover Drive/Westcliff Drive area. Properties may be developed for professional office or
retail uses, or as horizontal or vertical mixed-use projects that integrate multi-unit residential dwelling
units with retail and/or office uses.
D. MU-CV/15th St. (Mixed-Use Cannery Village and 15th Street) Zoning District. This zoning district
applies to areas where it is the intent to establish a cohesively developed district or neighborhood
containing multi-unit residential dwelling units with clusters of mixed-use and/or commercial structures
on interior lots of Cannery Village and 15th Street on Balboa Peninsula. Allowed uses may include
multi-unit dwelling units; nonresidential uses; and/or mixed-use structures, where the ground floor is

https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/NewportBeach/#!/NewportBeach20/NewportBeach2022.html#20.22 2/18
restricted to nonresidential uses along the street frontage. Residential uses and overnight
accommodations are allowed above the ground floor and to the rear of uses along the street frontage.
Mixed-use or nonresidential structures are required on lots at street intersections and are allowed, but
not required, on other lots.
E. MU-W1 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to waterfront properties
along the Mariners’ Mile Corridor (See Figure A-5, attached to the ordinance codified in this title) in
which nonresidential uses and residential dwelling units may be intermixed. A minimum of fifty (50)
percent of the allowed square footage in a mixed-use development shall be used for nonresidential
uses in which marine-related and visitor-serving land uses are mixed as provided in Table 2-10. A site
development review, in compliance with Section 20.52.080, shall be approved prior to any
development to ensure that the uses are fully integrated and that potential impacts from their differing
activities are fully mitigated. Design of nonresidential space to facilitate marine-related uses is
encouraged.
F. MU-W2 (Mixed-Use Water) Zoning District. This zoning district applies to waterfront properties in
which marine-related uses may be intermixed with general commercial, visitor-serving commercial and
residential dwelling units on the upper floors. (Ord. 2010-21 § 1 (Exh. A)(part), 2010)
20.22.020 Mixed-Use Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements.
A. Allowed Land Uses. Tables 2-8, 2-9, and 2-10 indicate the uses allowed within each zoning
district and the permit required to establish each use, in compliance with Part 5 of this title (Planning
Permit Procedures).
B. Prohibited Land Uses. Any table cell with “—” means that the listed land use is prohibited in that
specific zoning district.
C. Applicable Regulations. The last column in the tables (“Specific Use Regulations”) may include a
reference to additional regulations that apply to the use.
