VISION 2004

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
February 2, 2001
Mr. Donald Glasgow, Chairman
Corona del Mar Business Improvement District
P. O. Box 2295
Newport Beach, CA 92659 -2295
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
The Economic Development Committee appreciated the presentation on Corona del
Mar's Vision 2004 project at our meeting of January 17, 2001. It was good to hear that
the Business Improvement District is providing strong leadership, and that the business
and residential communities are united behind the goal of improving Corona del Mar.
• As you will remember, some concern was expressed with the long -term costs of the plan,
especially to maintain the generous amount of landscaping proposed, and to cover City
liability after Caltrans relinquishes control over Pacific Coast Highway. Nonetheless, the
Committee was very glad to see your plan moving forward, and voted to support the plan
in concept.
•
On behalf of EDC, I wish you the best of luck as you continue working to improve one of
Newport Beach's important commercial villages.

Re: Corona del Mar's Vision 2004 Presentation at EQAC
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
Thank you and Mr. Edward Selich for your presentation on Corona del Mar's Vision
2004 project at the January 15, 2001 meeting of the City's Environmental Quality Affairs
• Committee ( "EQAC "). It was good to hear that the business and residential
communities are united behind the goal of improving Corona del Mar, and that you are
doing extensive public outreach to inform, to hear and respond to reactions and to
develop a consensus from the community for the Project.
0
As you know, many EQAC members expressed several concerns including safety, traffic,
the size and scope of the landscaping including the size of replacement street trees, and
funding and maintenance of the Project. Having recognized these concerns, EQAC's
overall reaction was very positive: the full committee voted to support the plan in
concept and expressing its hope that you will find funding to implement it.
On behalf of EQAC, I wish you the best of luck as you continue your work to improve
the quality of life in Corona del Mar. We look forward to hearing additional
presentations as your plans take further shape and definition.
Sincerely,

Re: Corona del Mar's Vision 2004 Plan
Dear Mr. Glasgow,
Thank you and our colleague Ed Selich for your presentation on Corona del Mar's Vision
2004 project at the January 4, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. It was good to hear
that the business and residential communities are all involved in a cooperative effort to
improve the Corona del Mar commercial area. Additionally, the extensive public
• outreach campaign to inform, to hear and respond to reactions; and to develop a
consensus from the community for the Project will benefit the entire program.
As you know, the Planning Commission members had questions regarding the loss or
gain of parking spaces, the way the sidewalks would be refurbished, the potential
abandonment of Larkspur, funding of the improvements, and long term maintenance
requirements. The Commission also indicated an interest in on -going involvement as
environmental, traffic and fiscal studies are completed.
With this said, the Planning Commission as a whole is very impressed with the work on
the Vision 2004 plan to date. It appears to balance the long -term interests of the business
and residential communities with the unavoidable reed to allow Coast Highway to
accommodate its regional transportation service role. On behalf of the Planning
Commission, I wish you the best of luck as you continue your planning process. We look
forward to hearing additional presentations as your plans take further shape and
definition, and look forward to participating in their implementation as the specific plan
is considered for approval by the City.

Dear Mr. Glasgow:
I have reviewed the conceptual plan for the Corona del Mar Business Improvement District's
proposed "Vision 2004" and support this design.
The "Village" atmosphere of the plan and increased quality of life are very attractive features
• afforded to the entire city. The improved landscaping, decorative lighting fixtures and a
coordinated collection of street furniture are just a few of the proposed worthy improvements.
1 believe the "Vision 2004" plan is a beautiful revitalization to The Seaside Garden Village.

Re: Vision 2004 meeting with Shore Cliffs Homeowners February 25b, 2001
Dear Mr. Glasgow:
On behalf of the 139 Shore Cliffs homeowners, we want to thank you and Edward Selich for taking the
time on February 256' to educate us about the Vision 2004 plan for Corona del Mar. The meeting had a
great turnout we are excited about the Vision 2004 plan. Corona del Mar has much to offer, but it currently
lacks many of the major amenities and "village " ambiance that can ensure the longevity of both the
business community and homeowner values. We would like to assist the Corona del Mar Business
Improvement District in its endeavor to make this plan a reality.
The Vision 2004 Plan addresses the lack of the overall ambiance by addressing the need to improve
lighting, landscaping and hardscaping medians and sidewalks, increasing pedestrian crossings and street
. access to create a community with character in a village atmosphere. Shore Cliffs would be very receptive
to a traffic signal at the comer of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Seaward Road. The traffic volume and
speed (often 60 mph northbound on PCH until Poppy) are a danger to pedestrians and to traffic entering
and leaving Shore Cliffs at the Seaward intersection. Ever - increasing traffic from Crown Cove Retirement
Center, which uses the Seaward intersection as a turnaround, adds to the danger at this intersection. The
proposed lookout area would be an improvement over what is currently dirt and weeds. With no additional
parking proposed for southbound PCH, the walkway improvements will enhance the southern terminus of
the "village ".
The board members and homeowners attending the presentation at Shore Cliffs indicated that they are in
full support of your proposal. Several residents have spoken with board members at other community
gatherings, and every comment has been favorable. We support the Vision 2004 plan for Corona del Mar,
and will assist your efforts in any way possible to make the vision a reality.

Dear Mr. Glasgow,
My family has run three businesses continuously over the past thirty years in Corona del
Mar; we have leased the office space in the same building for that period of time. I
myself am a graduate of Corona del Mar High School, so in all aspects you can say I am a
"local boy ".
Within that thirty years, there has been much discussion, good planning and very little
action in creating a refined, bold Corona del Mar. I participated in the design charette in
August of 1999 hoping at last that there would be progress in bringing the ambiance of
the village up to its true potential. The recent work taken on by the Business
• Improvement District in continuing the vision and excitement of that event is remarkable
in its scope and thoroughness. Here at last is a viable concept to bring Corona del Mar a
world class identity and an environment that matches the unique character of this 97 year
old village.
r�
By way of this letter, my wife, Cathy (the President of Cathimarie's Inc.), myself, and the
rest of our office pledge our support and efforts in the realization of the Vision 2004 plan.
Please count on our total cooperation in whatever it takes to finish this job.

Dear Members of the City Council
I am a long time Newport Beach resident, grew up in Corona del Mar, and graduated
from CDMHS. My father and I run the Crown Hardware chain, the first store being the
CdM location which my father purchased and took over in 1974. My brother is also a
long time business owner in the village.
As a Corona del Mar business owner, I believe the proposed "Vision 2004 "plan IS the
future for CdM. It is time for members of the business community and the residence to
stand behind the Vision 2004 plan. This plan stands to greatly increase the beauty and
the style that is so prevalent in the surrounding neighborhoods.
There are many businesses in the village that have started in this direction on their own.
With the recent beautiful remodel of Albertson's, the center with KFC and The Coffee
Bean, Prudential, our recent Hardware store remodel, our almost completed renovation
of Cabrillo Medical which is now retail fronted at PCH and Begonia, and the future
Coco's remodel. Picture the entire village with this type of facelift plus lush landscaping,
enhanced amenities, better public highway crossing, street -side dining, etc. The future
is bright with this proposal.
The CdM Business Improvement District has done a tremendous job, donating massive
amounts of time and effort in pursuit of the Vision 2004 dream of a beautified CdM
Village. I urge you to support this plan.
Thank you for your consideration

Dear Members of the City Council:
I am a long time Newport Beach resident having moved to Newport Beach in 1970. My wife and
I have raised three sons in Newport and Corona del Mar. I purchased the Crown Hardware store
in Corona del Mar in 1974. I retained the name, as it stems from the city name "Corona." We
currently operate ten stores in Orange County, all bearing the Crown name.
As a Corona del Mar business owner, I believe the proposed "Vision 2004 "plan is instrumental
for the business and residential well being of our village. With the greatly increased property
• values and the prosperity of the residence of the area, the business district must reflect this. At
this time the competition for our residences' - dollars get greater by the day. With new, beautiful,
modem malls and plazas being built daily in Orange County, we run an increasingly difficult task
of keeping dollars coming into our outdated and unappealing stretch of highway. We need to be
proactive to keep these dollars coming in. The people with the money live in this town but spend
much of it elsewhere. The Vision 2004 will greatly aid in stemming this outflow.
•
A number of business owners recognize the need for updating and have taken a proactive
approach. Albertson's, Prudential, W alkie Ray's properties, and our two buildings (Crown and
Cabrillo Medical at Begonia) are what the entire village needs to do.
I ask that you very seriously consider the need for the highway relinquishment and the Vision
2004 plan.
Thank you for your consideration

Dear Members of the City Council:
I am a Corona del Mar business owner and a 21 year resident. I support the Business
Improvement District's plan "Vision 2004 ". I believe the plan will not only improve the quality
of life for residents of the community but also create a superior atmosphere for business.
I urge you to support and agree to the State of California's relinquishment of the Pacific Coast
Highway to the City of Newport Beach and the "Vision 2004" plan as a whole.
The proposed "Vision 2004" improvements in Corona del Mar can only improve the image of the
entire City of Newport Beach. This is an opportunity for you to make a significant and long-
term impact on the City, both now and for future generations.
Sincerely,

For some time, I have been concerned that this commercial district is looking rather
seedy. What you and others are proposing will make a huge difference in restoring the
"village feel ", which is what makes Corona del Mar special. I have reviewed your
conceptual plans and believe that, with minor changes, they have the potential to
transform this area of Corona del Mar both by enhancing its ambiance and encouraging
pedestrian traffic.
As a property owner, my support of your undertaking reflects a certain amount of
"enlightened self - interest ". Specifically, my partners and I believe that your program will
enable us to atttract superior tenants and achieve higher rents for the properties we own in
• Corona del Mar.

I also want to offer my opinion on behalf of Cottage Corona del Mar, a shop my wife
Janet and her partner lease at the intersection of PCH and MacArthur Boulevard. They
have a vested interest in the commercial success of the area and believe that the
beautification program you are proposing will increase business and attract additional
customers.
Finally, I commend you for your personal involvement in this undertaking. It may take a
while but I believe your program will succeed and that the community will greatly benefit
by it and owe you a great debt of gratitude.

Mr. Bill Sinclair
Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce
Dear Bill,
In my thirty some years of residency in Corona del Mar, I have seen
several plans for improvement of our Coast Hwy street scape, but
not until vision 2004 have I been enthused about what was proposed.
I would like to offer a suggestion in furtherance of that plan
as follows;
Create a demonstration block in front of the Chamber office
on the south side of the highway between Goldenrod and
Heliotrope that would implement the hardscape and planting
ideas proposed by the architect.
In so doing, the residents and merchants might be incentivised
to offer strong support, perhaps monetarily, to help implement
the plan in its entirety. For negotiating reasons, such a
potential subsidy should be confidential prior to Caltrans and
City BID committments.
If the architect could prepare a bidable set of hardscape and
landscape plans for this one block stretch, we would be able
to quantify and further discuss this idea.
It seems that Starbucks has relocated the cultural center of our
village to this block, and given that the Chamber office would be
the nexus of promoting the plan, this seems like the best location,
notwithstanding that I would benefit, as an adjacent property
owner.
I would be willing to attempt to recruit other property owners
in the block for a seed money contribution of say, ten to twenty
dollars a front foot which would raise several thousand dollars
to help initiate what I think would be a great marketing tool
for a project that deserves to come to fruition.
Kudos to those who have provided leadership to bring us this far.
• Sincerely"

Dear Council Members:
We have read and studied in some detail the Corona del Mar Business Improvement
District's proposed "Vision 2004" conceptual plan. We generally support it in its
present form, provided it includes a stringent, more restrictive sign ordinance to
correct the present unsightly signage all up and down Coast Highway in CDM.
As long time Corona del Mar residents, we believe Vision 2004 will improve the
quality of life in Corona del Mar and in Newport Beach. It will help strengthen the
village feel of CDM's business district for residents, business people and visitors from
wherever. Importantly, the proposed plan supports an agreement on the part of
CalTrans to relinquish Pacific Coast Highway in CDM to the City, which transfer, we
understand, may significantly help fund the proposed improvements.
We urge you to support Vision 2004 conceptual plan. This is a unique and timely
opportunity to elevate the CDM business district to a level more in keeping with the
beautiful residential community surrounding it, providing a "front door" from the
south to a community the entire City can rightfully be proud of.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Linda & Peter Oeth

Dear Chairman Glasgow and Committee
The Guinness World Book of Records doesn't have an entry for years
of living in, working in, and boosting for the community of Corona del
Mar. But if it did, we'd probably get a mentioned. Over 30 years ago
our family first moved there and - though we now have less
meaningful nearby addresses - our hearts are still in CdM.
To With that in mind, Nikki and I applaud you and heartily endorse
your Vision 2004 plan for redeveloping Corona del Mar. It is an
enormous amount of work; yet it would not erode the "village"
atmosphere of this charming community in any way. To the contrary,
we feel it would enhance it and perpetuate a feeling (and a reality)
of small town life far into the future. How rare that would be in this
age of constant change.
�s
If there is any way we can assist in Vision 2004 becoming a reality,
either personally or via Coast magazine where we both work, please
let us know. Until then, may all good fortune be with your
considerable and impressive efforts.
Very truly yours,
Jim and Nikki Wood
