NEWPORT BEACH
The $100-million Newport Dunes Hotel proposal is back at the Planning Commission. At the last meeting, project managers were told to explore moving the resort to the other side of the lagoon, lowering the hotel’s height and redesigning the entrance to Back Bay Drive.
The commission will consider the suggestions that Dunes project managers will bring to the meeting. Commissioners will also continue the long process of combing through the environmental report. Commissioners said it will be at least two more meetings before they decide on the project.
The proposed project includes a full-service hotel with 400 rooms and 100 time-share units along with 55,000 square feet of conference space, swimming pools, a health spa and restaurants.
The commission meets at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd.
