Chapter 21.26 — SPECIAL PURPOSE COASTAL ZONING DISTRICTS (OS, PC, PF, PI, PR, AND TS)

The purposes of the individual special purpose coastal zoning districts and the manner in which they are applied are as follows:

A. OS (Open Space) Coastal Zoning District. The OS Coastal Zoning District is intended to:

1. Provide areas for a range of public and private uses to protect, maintain, and enhance
the community’s natural resources; and

2. Maintain and protect landscaped open space areas located within residential and
nonresidential developments, where no further development is allowed.

B. PC (Planned Community) Coastal Zoning District. The PC Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of coordinated,
comprehensive projects that result in a superior environment; to allow diversification of
land uses as they relate to each other in a physical and environmental arrangement while
maintaining the spirit and intent of this Implementation Plan; and to include a variety of
land uses, consistent with the Coastal Land Use Plan, through the adoption of a
development plan and related text that provides land use relationships and associated
development standards.

C. PF (Public Facilities) Coastal Zoning District. The PF Coastal Zoning District is intended
to provide for areas appropriate for public facilities, including community centers, cultural
institutions, government facilities, libraries, public utilities, and public schools.

D. PI (Private Institutions) Coastal Zoning District. The PI Coastal Zoning District is intended
to provide for areas appropriate for privately owned facilities that serve the public,
including places for assembly/meeting facilities (e.g., religious assembly), congregate care
homes, cultural institutions, health care facilities, marinas, museums, private schools, yacht
clubs, and comparable facilities.

E. PR (Parks and Recreation) Coastal Zoning District. The PR Coastal Zoning District is
intended to provide for areas appropriate for land used or proposed for active public or
private recreational use. Allowed uses include aquatic facilities, golf courses, marina
support facilities, parks (both active and passive), private recreational facilities, tennis
clubs and courts, and similar recreational facilities.

F. TS (Tidelands and Submerged Lands) Coastal Zoning District. The TS Coastal Zoning
District is intended to protect, maintain, and enhance the natural resources of the tidelands
and submerged lands of Newport Bay and the Pacific Ocean immediately adjacent to the
City. This district is generally not applied to historic tidelands and submerged lands that
are presently filled or reclaimed.
