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

A.    OA (Office—Airport) Zoning District. The OA Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for the development of properties adjoining the John Wayne Airport for uses that support or benefit from airport operations. These may include corporate and professional offices; automobile sales, rental, and service; aviation sales and service; hotels; and accessory retail, restaurant, and service uses.

B.    OG (Office—General) Zoning District. The OG Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for administrative, professional, and medical offices with limited accessory retail and service uses.

C.    OM (Office—Medical) Zoning District. The OM Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate primarily for medical-related offices, other professional offices, retail, short-term convalescent and long-term care facilities, research labs, and similar uses.

D.    OR (Office—Regional) Zoning District. The OR Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for corporate offices, administrative and professional offices that serve local and regional markets, with limited accessory financial, retail, service, and entertainment uses.

E.    CC (Commercial Corridor) Zoning District. The CC Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a range of neighborhood-serving retail and service uses along street frontages that are located and designed to foster pedestrian activity.

F.    CG (Commercial General) Zoning District. The CG Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a wide variety of commercial activities oriented primarily to serve Citywide or regional needs.

G.    CM (Commercial Recreational and Marine) Zoning District. The CM Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for commercial development on or near the waterfront that will encourage the continuation of coastal-dependent and coastal-related uses, maintain the marine theme and character, encourage mutually supportive businesses, encourage visitor-serving and recreational uses, and encourage physical and visual access to the bay on sites located on or near the bay.

H.    CN (Commercial Neighborhood) Zoning District. The CN Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for a limited range of retail and service uses developed in one or more distinct centers oriented to serve primarily the needs of and maintain compatibility with residential uses in the immediate area.

I.    CV (Commercial Visitor-Serving) Zoning District. The CV Zoning District is intended to provide for areas appropriate for accommodations, goods, and services intended to serve primarily visitors to the City.

J.    The CV-LV (Commercial Visitor-Serving—Lido Village) Zoning District. This district applies to the former City Hall complex located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Newport Boulevard and 32nd Street. The CV-LV designation provides for a range of accommodations (e.g., hotels, motels, hostels), goods, and services intended to primarily serve visitors to the City of Newport Beach and a fire station. Limited use overnight visitor accommodations and residential uses are not allowed. (Ord. 2015-35 § 5, 2015; Ord. 2010-21 § 1 (Exh. A)(part), 2010)

20.20.020 Commercial Zoning Districts Land Uses and Permit Requirements.

A.    Allowed Land Uses. Tables 2-4 and 2-5 indicate the uses allowed within each zoning district and the permit required to establish the use, if any, 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.
