Newport Beach : Commission Approves Plan for Cancer Center
The city Planning Commission has approved Hoag Memorial Hospital’s plan for a three-story cancer center on a bluff overlooking Newport Harbor.
Officials for the $13.5-million center plan to start construction within the next eight months. But area residents, concerned that the project will block their view of the ocean, are likely to appeal to the City Council to alter the project.
According to a Hoag administrator, the center would be the focal point for the hospital’s cancer-treatment equipment as well as for physicians who specialize in treating cancer patients.
The center is the first of several buildings Hoag plans to build on its 22-acre site, much of which was purchased from the state Department of Transportation.
