Plan 7, the survey states, is charcoal-only.Ĭity Manager Dave Kiff, in an email last weekend, said: “I know that the plans have generated and will continue to generate a lot of discussion.


Plan 6 “attempts to keep the general current footprint, but intersperses charcoal-only rings with wood-burning rings (roughly 30 of each).”.Plan 5 places 14 fire rings at Big Corona, 14 near the Balboa Pier and 32 in a single line - spaced about 525 feet apart - from the Balboa Pier to the Santa Ana River.16 to March 14, leaving 30 wood-burning rings available during the winter months.” Plan 4 “is like Plan 2, but would require Coastal Commission approval for the seasonal removal of half of the wood-burning rings (30) from Oct.Plan 3 places some rings at Big Corona, some at the Balboa Pier and smaller clusters of 4 to 10 rings between the Santa Ana River and roughly 15th Street, the survey states.Plan 2 “generally places the 60 rings in the same locations as today, but realigns them to meet” the 100-foot spacing requirement.Plan 1 is the City Council-approved plan, with 18 rings at Corona del Mar State Beach, also known as Big Corona, 26 near the Balboa Pier, nine north of the Newport Pier and seven at the western side of the Newport Dunes lagoon.It asks people to weigh in on what they like or dislike and what changes they might make to one or more of the plans. The survey’s seven plans “attempt to restore some or all wood-burning fire rings to Newport’s beaches, while complying with certain regulations and laws,” the survey states. The spacing is not finalized as of this posting.” You’ll see a dividing line between the two sections. “The rings closest to the grass near the palm tree are charcoal-only. “At Corona del Mar State Beach, you can burn wood in the rings closest to the ocean - the ones that are spaced more widely,” the website states. 23, wood is permitted in some of the rings. Debate in coastal cities has focused on the health effects to neighbors of the smoke from burning wood.Īccording to the updated web page, as of Jan.
