Recommendation
Summary:
This is a study session item only with no action to be taken. The proposed project would remove all existing improvements within the approximately 15.38-acre center portion of the Newport Beach Golf Course (i.e., driving range, pro shop, restaurant and bar, and three holes of golf) to allow for the redevelopment of the site into approximately five acres of surfing lagoons and associated improvements. The lagoons would be surrounded by viewing platforms, seating, warming pools, and a spa. The project includes the construction of a three-story amenity clubhouse building with a reception area, surf academy, fitness facility, yoga center, administrative offices, staff areas, locker rooms, retail store, restaurant, coffee and snack bar, and basement level surfboard storage, golf cart storage, golf starter shack, maintenance area, and mechanical equipment storage totaling approximately 50,341 square feet of net floor area. Also proposed is the construction of a two-story athlete accommodation building with 20 rooms and approximately 9,432 square feet of net floor area. The total project development intensity would be approximately 59,772 net square feet and would be served by 351 parking spaces. Existing access to the golf course holes identified as the front six and the back nine would be maintained.
