Ed and Brenda: once again, I must ask you to forward this additional request to the Committee for their
discussion tomorrow. I realize this item is not agendized, so I am hoping for the opportunity to address
the committee on this item under the "Public Comments on Non - Agendized items" section of the agenda.
Thank you very much. cmmc

Re: Request for an increase in the Residential Unit cap in the Airport Area
Dear Chairman Selich and Ms. Wisnewski:
We are the owners and under contract to acquire a majority of the property and
buildings in the 19+ acre parcel known as Newport Corporate Plaza, bounded by Von
Karman, Birch, Campus and Teller in the Airport Area. (See attached aerial of the
property outlined in red.) We are undertaking a major effort to begin the entitlement of
the property for a mixed use development of residential, office, retail and possibly a
hotel all of which will be replacement development. Because we have been made aware
of the Land Use Element Amendment process currently underway, we recognize that it
is important to insure the adequacy of the residential units in this Statistical Area, 14.
We are also aware of a number of residential projects currently being prepared for
submittal to the city. As a result, we are hereby requesting your support for an increase
Of 700 units to the current unit cap. This request does not include any increase in the
number of trips to accommodate the proposed development at this time.
As you know, Lyon Communities has been located in Newport Beach for over 25 years.
Many Lyon Communities employees both work and live within the City, so you can be
well aware of our commitment to making sure that any of our proposals utilize the most
current and high -level planning concepts while maintaining Newport Beach's unrivaled
quality of life.
We appreciate your review of this request and look forward to a positive
recommendation to the LUE Amendment Committee. We thank you for your efforts to
work with us to address this important opportunity.
