1301 Dove Street Residential Development (PA2026-0046)

The 1301 Dove Street Residential Development project, managed by the City of Newport Beach and carried out by Dove Property Owner LLC, involves the construction of a 139-unit for-sale residential townhome community on a 6.46-acre site currently occupied by a professional office building. The development will feature 50 buildings with heights between 33.5 and 39 feet, offering two to four-bedroom units ranging from 1,425 to 2,362 square feet. Site infrastructure includes 330 total parking spaces, consisting of two-car garages per unit, 10 driveway spaces, and 42 guest spaces, along with resident amenities such as activity areas, outdoor gardens, and walking paths. A landscaped pedestrian strada will be established along the Dove Street frontage, with all vehicular access provided via a single driveway on Dove Street. The project is planned for execution in two potential phases, starting with the demolition of an existing parking structure and the construction of 76 units on the rear half of the site, followed by the demolition of a 218,000-square-foot 10-story office building to complete the remaining 63 units. This development is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under PRC Section 21080.66, as it meets specific criteria for housing development projects regarding density and location. Tribal consultation has been completed with agreed-upon mitigation measures, and the project is categorized under NAICS code 236117.
