Newport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
It should be noted that in order to provide flexibility and encourage creativity, with the exception of the Land Use and
the Implementation Plan Elements, topics required by the State to be addressed in the Plan do not require their own
separate “element” or chapter, as long as the required content is provided in the Plan. Newport’s Plan is a hybrid;
topical areas are provided with their own “chapters” but as noted, these are organized by themes to highlight
interrelationships. In addition, each chapter will include a section that specifically addresses important
interrelationships, to further explain and emphasize the “comprehensive” nature of a good Plan.
