I’ve reviewed the GPAC Agenda Package and offer the following comments:
Overall, I like the Visions statement and have one suggesƟon. Page 31 of the Vision Statement, last sentence of
the 1st paragraph. Suggested wording change “ . . . Newport will have the potenƟal to become remain an
excepƟonal city . . .”
Natural Resources and RecreaƟon Goals/Policies – there are other low/zero emission vehicles than electric (e.g.,
hydrogen) and we need to make sure that alternaƟves to electric vehicles are also considered. This is
menƟoned in some of the goals but not others.
Coastal Resilience and Safety Policies – Goal 4 page 56, suggest that we also reevaluate bluff stability and
erosion condiƟons following wet/rainy seasons to check for changes.
o Goal 4, page 58 – Include Buck Gully which is adjacent to Corona del Mar, and wildlife fire hazards are
not just limited to Newport Coast.
o Page 59, goal 7, Provide resources for home repair/rebuilds in areas prone to geologic hazards. (add the
word “Provide”)
Overall, I think the Vision Statement, and DraŌ Goals/Policies are a good place to start the public discussion. Thanks and
sorry I’m missing the meeƟng.
