Dear Ms. Dixon and Council Members,
I have been a resident of Newport Beach for the last 19 years and really love the area we live in.
The city council and former Mayors for the most part have made great decisions in the interest of
the community concerning city planning. However, the latest decision to deny the proposed
AutoNation project on Coast Highway adjacent to Dover I believe is a misguided one. Based on the
findings and discussed in detail at the planning commission I find its decision to deny this new state
of the art project not making much sense. Leaving that stretch of Coast Highway with functionally
obsolete structures does not add a lot of value to our community. A new state of the art
AutoNation Porsche facility is exactly what that stretch of the highway needs as it has become the
home to other exotic car dealerships. This new dealership would add to the American Rivera
lifestyle that Newport Beach has become known for. Based on the noise meters used to show that
noise is a non -issue, the roof covering and putting in a new 3rd traffic lane I cannot understand why
this project should not be approved.
Please give this project reconsideration as it is appealed in the near future.
Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to read this appeal.

Just to advise that as a resident and property tax payer in Newport Beach, I am opposed to the
subject application in its present form.
I suggest that our Planning Commission and City council request the applicant to revise the
application to reduce the square footage of the proposed structures and most importantly locate
the service dept. to another location within Newport Beach or a nearby location in Costa Mesa,
where auto repairs are widely conducted on a daily basis.

I oppose this project. There is too much traffic on Pacific Coast Highway as it is. This would cause
traffic problems and congestion.
I have been a resident of Costa Mesa for 30 years. We do not need a project like this in Newport
Beach. It will cause problems for the residents of Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.

Dear Newport Beach City Council, Planning Commission, City Manager
and Staff,
12-12
On Wednesday Evening, September 21, 2016, the Community of
Bayshores and homeowners living in the immediate vicinity showed up at
the Balboa Bay Resort to learn about the AutoNation Porsche
Development Proposal. The large and impressive turnout clearly
demonstrates the great interest and concerns of the homeowners.
Community concerns were that the AutoNation Prosche Development
Project will (1) not enhance the surrounding community, (2) be
incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods, and (3) have an
adverse impact.
I request that the enclosed letter presenting Janice and my views be
included in the packet of material for the October 6, 2106, Planning
Commission Hearing re. The AutoNation Porsche Development Proposal.
Concerned Homeowners,

Re: AutoNation Porsche proposal to build a dealership and service center/garage on 11 lots along
West Coast Highway on Mariners Mile across from Bayshores and below Newport Heights
September 25, 2016
Dear City Council and Planning Commission,
The City of Newport Beach Planning Commission and City Council must hold the proposed use of
this land situated between two residential neighborhoods, Newport Heights and Bayshores, to a
much higher standard than any other development location along Mariners' Mile. The City's in-
herent responsibility is to assure all proposed development projects will enhance the community
and be compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods without adverse impacts. At the very
least, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be required. In conducting this study, AutoNa-
tion Porsche business plan data (actual historical sales combined with projected increase in
sales) used to justify moving to this stand-alone facility must be the foundation and basis for the
projected increases in traffic, noise, pollution, etc.
Moving the Porsche auto dealership showroom and service/garage/parking has been justified
because there are other Auto Dealerships in the vicinity. This is faulty and unacceptable. The new
AutoNation will span 11 lots and 500+ feet along Coast Highway, which is about three times big-
ger than currently or previously has occupied the space. AutoNation proposed to break with tradi-
tion by introducing service operations, which are not part of the existing companies, such as Fer-
rari, Maserati, McLaren, and Phillips Auto Dealerships along Mariners Mile.
According to AutoNation Officials, Porsche Headquarters in Germany dictated the complete de-
sign and street appearance of the structure. AutoNation stated, at the September 21, 2016 meet-
ing at Balboa Bay Club, that it had no choice and must comply with Porsche. Simply put, an In-
ternational Company and a Nationwide Company are telling the City of Newport Beach and the
residential communities of Newport Heights and Bayshores what to do. They disregard communi-
ty design criteria and standards, such as the dictum that Mariners Mile buildings are to have a
nautical appearance.
The AutoNation Project proposes a massive commercial industrial development that is incompati-
ble with the intent of the Mariners Mile Master Plan and undermines the reasons residents have
chosen to live in the Bayshores and Newport Heights communities. Further, the proposed 500+
foot long structure spanning 11 lots along West Coast Highway is overwhelming and far too mas-
sive for the physical dimensions and limitations of the site. If the height of the structure is mea-
sured from the curb level along West Coast Highway to the highest point of the structure, the
height exceeds 50 feet. To achieve a clearer community understanding of the length, hight and
depth of the proposed buildings, I request the Planning Commission require AutoNation Porsche
to online the structure with Story Poles.
This proposed use of the land will have significant negative impacts (design, hours of operation,
noise, traffic congestion, safety, light and reflection, elevation, water consumption) on the daily
lives of the families living in the two adjacent residential neighborhoods of Newport Heights to the
North atop the bluff and Bayshores South across West Coast Highway. There are few, if any,
characteristics of the proposed use of the site that enhances the neighborhoods, the quality of
life, and the property values of the residents living in these communities.

Previously, on August 18, 2016, during the Planning Commission Hearing, I expressed the follow-
ing observations:
• The City of Newport Beach is becoming too industrialized. This proposed project is incompatible
with the surrounding communities and inconsistent with other buildings along this section of
West Coast Highway.
• The project includes a Porsche Service Center while most of the other Auto Dealerships along
PCH are limited to showrooms with their Service Centers located near the John Wayne Airport.
• The proposed building is too massive for the site and should be limited to a single story.
• The City of Newport Beach is requiring AutoNation to widen PCH to three lanes on the North
bound side. A third lane will increase the speed of vehicles along this corridor and present safe-
ty issues. Also, the proposed construction project is occurring shortly after the completion of the
lengthy storm drain project, which has caused considerable vibrations felt by those living near-
by, as well as congestion, noise and filth. When will the City say an enough is enough for these
neighborhoods?
• Should there by construction in this vicinity, the city should require that the power lines behind
the proposed buildings be underground. When the Mariners' Point Building at the corner of
Dover and PCH was under construction, the power lines were put underground.
The Newport Beach City Council must not allow the AutoNation Porsche proposed development
or any development of this size to be built along Mariners' Mile until the Mariners' Mile Revitaliza-
tion Master Plan is finalized, and finalization should not occur until after the Planning Commission
Public Workshops involving all stakeholders have been held. Moreover, the finalized plan should
include criteria and design standards. Further, the Initial Mitigated Negative Declaration Study
dated July 8, 2016, falls short of fulfilling the city's lead agency responsibility to assure no harm
as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Accordingly, the more complete
and thorough Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be required.
It is important to understand that community involvement regarding this development project in
unusually high and clearly demonstrates the great interest and concerns of homeowners living in
the immediate vicinity. We trust that the city's planning process will work to the benefit of all.
In view of the above, the City Council should decide this project. Only the City Council elected by
and accountable to the Citizens of Newport Beach should make the final decision. The Planning
Commission's role should be limited to a review and a recommendation.

Dear Mr. Kiff and City Council Members,
As a fifty year plus resident of Newport Beach we (family and friends AND voters) urge a NO vote on
Auto Nation's proposal to invade the PCH and our city.
This type of irresponsible development is exactly why Keith Curry lost the election and was shellacked in
the Assembly.
Don't let happen to you.
Over development, debt, poorly managed harbor activities and airport expansion all spell doom for our
city.
Please don't put your stamp of approval on these reckless projects.
Thank you,

Re: Proposed New Porsche Dealership on Coast Highway
Dear Mayor Dixon and City Council,
I've been following this and other projects recently approved and denied in the City. Although I
know the property owner for this project and developers on other projects approved and denied
recently, I am alarmed at the pattern, or more importantly, the lack of pattern in recent decisions
by the City about future development. Of all the proposed new developments being considered
today, approval of the Porsche dealership should seem easy. The project doesn't require a
general plan amendment, it's not a new use for the area, there are already two or three other
dealerships there, and it's an economically proven long term use. An auto dealership is likely to
have less traffic and other impacts than restaurants, offices, or retail; uses recently approved for
other sites along Mariner's Mile, including a large project at Dover and Coast Highway. Is there
anyone who believes the existing old one and two story stores represents the best use of the
property?
I spent three years on a committee of dedicated citizens involved with the update of the General
Plan in the early 2000's. Committee members in most cases put aside their own interests to
achieve a plan that would incorporate a "vision" for the entire community, protect individual
property owner's rights, and preserve the character of the City. I don't recall the Vision then, or
ever, allowing transforming the nature of Fashion Island, nearly instantaneously, from a world
class commercial center to a massive residential city by adding 550 identical looking apartments,
and another proposed 100 units to replace land whose value for office and job oriented
development IN THAT LOCATION is irreplaceable to the City. Are all low rise offices in
Fashion Island destined to become housing? The plan and the vision for the community
disappears or gets chiseled away every election or decision affecting development.
Other than the importance of balancing individual property rights with planning and sticking to a
vision, another takeaway from being on the commission was the impact of these decisions on the
fiscal health of the city. It was an eye popping experience to review the City budget at that time.
Surprisingly, hotel tax and even all the retail sales at Fashion Island were not significant revenue
generators to the City. But, auto sales tax from car dealerships in the City appeared to dwarf all
other revenue sources by comparison.
Complaints about the project: noise, traffic, etc. have been addressed and others don't appear to
be supported by facts. Would a more intensive commercial use of restaurants, offices, and retail
be more acceptable to these opponents? Be less of an impact? Provide more revenue to the City?
12-18
Robert Hendrickson
Page 2
Auto Nation is the largest car dealership in the nation, and the Porsche Dealership has been in the
City for years. The development will be a great long term revenue generator for the City. Do we
(collectively as a community) want them to go away? As a 30 -year resident, I don't want to lose
them or their revenue stream to the City.
I'd like to see future land use decisions made with a long term perspective, consider the
financial, economical, and social health of the City, and be consistent with the community's
"Vision". Approving the Auto Nation project fits this criteria. Hope other land use decisions will
too.
Respectfully,
Robert Hendrickson

Dear City Council Members,
Thank you for faithfully serving us and working for keeping Newport Beach an excellent city to live in!
We live near Mariners Mile and drive on pch where the suggested Porsche Dealership would be many
times every day.
Traffic in this area has gotten worse the last year already, even without this Dealership! We are
respectfully asking that you will vote NO for the Dealership to be in that particular location, but instead
encourage them to find a site that will not negatively affect an already congested area. Furthermore, we
ask that you look into what can be done to improve the traffic situation at Mariners Mile.
Many thanks,

Good Day City Council,
I am a home owner and resident of Newport Beach. Over the past 3 years I have noticed much more
traffic in the city, mostly due to development. I would like our city to stop all this new development and
revert back to what made Newport so great, a small easy going beach city. We are becoming Santa
Monica and starting to inherit all the issues and problems that come with over development. Please vote
no auto nation and museum house development.
Thank you,

Subject: Regarding AutoNation Porsche relocation
Dear Council members,
I wish to comment on the proposed relocation of Autonation Porsche.
A citizen group has been circulating arguments and petitions against the relocation.
Unfortunately there is much misinformation in their solicitations. I have included an
email I recently received at the end of this email and wish to address some of their
concerns..
I have been a home owner in the Bayshores community for 41 years and live only a
few blocks from the proposed relocation site. In addition, I am a licensed Orange
County luxury car dealer. Thirteen years ago we moved our service center to a
property very similar to the proposed Autonation location. Our property is long and
narrow between a busy street and residences and apartments. I wish to share my
experience with the council.
Mariners Mile has been a traditional location for Newport Beach Auto dealerships for
as long as I can remember, and that goes back to the 1950's.
Today current dealerships on Mariners mile are BMW, Ferrari, Maserati, McLaren
plus several high line used car dealerships. The proposed location is in keeping with
the historic location of Newport's car dealerships.
There is an existing multi story building, with elevators next to the east end of the
proposed site. So the proposed size and height of the building is compatible with the
existing multi story building.
Modern new car dealerships are not noisy nor do they create pollution. Quite the
opposite is true. New car dealerships are tightly controlled by the California Air
Resources board, The California New Motor Vehicle board, the California Department
12-23
of motor vehicles. For example, every drop of rain water that falls on my property
must go through a clarifier before it flows into the flood control channels. All toxic
items must be properly stored and disposed of in the manner prescribed by law. New
car dealerships are a multi million dollar investment and are subject to audits and
reviews by all governmental agencies. With modern technology and buildings I would
venture to say that a new Porsche dealership would produce less pollution than the
existing older, smaller businesses that now occupy the site.
The visual impact from roof top parking can be mitigated with car ports, roof top
landscaping or solar panels. And parking lots are generally very quite.
My service center is located on a long narrow strip of land between a busy
commercial street and private residences and apartments. I believe we actually
reduced noise to the residences by having the building block highway noise. In our 13
years at this location we have never had a noise complaint or a toxic spill or pollution
of any kind.
I modern new car dealership is not any nosier then a super market or shopping
center. Our service centers are clean, high tech facilities and I would invite council
members to call me for a tour of our facility or tour any of the new dealerships in
Newport Beach.
I doubt the traffic from the proposed dealership would be any greater then the traffic
flow from the existing businesses at proposed location. The McDonalds restaurant at
the west end of the proposed site will have a much higher traffic count then the car
dealership.
Moving a dealership location is a very difficult process and often takes years to find
and negotiate a suitable location. Plus we have to deal with state licensing laws and
the manufactures requirements. I doubt if there is any other property that would
qualify in the city of Newport Beach as a relocation site for Autonation Porsche.
The city receives a large part of the sales tax revenues generated by the sale of new
cars and service plus the dealership provides high paying jobs for the community. So
letting the dealership expand is to the benefit of everyone in the city.
One negative comment that I do have is the architectural rendering shows a modern
all glass building. I worry that the glare from the mirrored glass would cause problems
for traffic on PCH. I think the design style should be changed to better fit into the
location.
Although there are some challenges to the project I think overall that a practical,
efficient, beautiful building can be built at the proposed location that would benefit the
city and the neighborhood.

Dear friends and neighbors,
On Thursday, October 6 the Newport Beach Planning Commission denied the application of AutoNation
to relocate and expand the Porsche dealership from PCH and Bayside to immediately west of the
Mariner's Pointe building on PCH. AutoNation is appealing their decision to City Council,
which will hear the matter in November or December.
This project is planned for a 550' long stretch of the highway, which is now developed with small retail
and other neighborhood -friendly commercial uses. The dealership, as proposed, would include both
sales and service and be open seven days a week.
The proposed starkly modern building would feature elevators towering up to 50' above the highway,
obscure views of the coastal bluff, be lighted at night, have rooftop parking, and be a source of noise and
chemical pollution. It would bear no resemblance to any other nearby buildings, and would be
inconsistent with the City's desired "nautical" style for Mariners' Mile.
The City of Newport Beach is now engaged in a planning effort for the entire Mariners' Mile corridor; the
proposed AutoNation development is simply out of sequence in the city's planning. It is "the cart before
the horse." The project should be deferred until we have a comprehensive vision of what the City
ultimately decides Mariners' Mile should look like.
The AutoNation application was not required to include an Environmental Impact Report. The
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) on file is not adequate. An EIR needs to be required to fully
evaluate the potential impacts on health and safety, noise and pollution from a facility of this type and
size.
The AutoNation Porsche development would not serve local residents well. It is an inappropriate project
for this spot and we urge the City Council to deny the application and insist that this corridor between
two residential neighborhoods be developed thoughtfully with an emphasis on maintaining the
local Newport flavor.
As of October 21, this petition has gathered 990 signatures. Please sign if you agree that
the proposed AutoNation Porsche dealership is a bad fit for Mariners' Mile. The petition
requesting a NO vote on AutoNation can be found here.
The petition is sent to you by a grass-roots group of Newport residents who live all over Newport, and
share the goal of thoughtful, appropriate development of Mariners' Mile.
Please don't wait! The petition deadline is Monday, October 31.
You can help circulate the petition by forwarding this email to friends in your personal network.

I moved to Newport Beach in 1971 and have been a resident at Castaways since 1997. I feel
the proposed Auto Nations project would be a nice amenity that would be very compatable
with the other high end dealerships along Mariners Mile. I understand that the transition lane
along PCH between Dover and the existing site would be extended which would help ease
some of the stacking in that location. The existing buildings on the site are low end and a
new structure housing Porsche would be a big upgrade and clean up the site. Tax revenue
never hurts and, as you know, most municipalities would bend over backwards to work with
an existing dealership (Audi and Porsche) and relocate them. I hope this helps in your
decision to work with Porsche and, just so you know, I don't own a Porsche. Thanks, Ken

Members of the City Council,
I am a resident of Newport Beach and Bayshores. I am opposed to the the AutoNation project. I
attended the Planning Commission meeting and applaud their almost unanimous and well thought out
decision to deny the project. Kory Kramer's participation was a disappointment to us. His comments,
demeanor and general disregard for the concerns of our Newport Beach residents was surprising from
an individual in his position. What was also disappointing was his public reprimand of the commission
for their decision.
I am opposed to the project for all the reasons that have repeatedly been stated by the residents of the
adjoining residential neighborhoods as well as the general population of Newport Beach.
The proposed behemoth 500 foot, 38,000 + sq. ft, concrete steel glass monument to Porsche is totally
out of scale and character with the neighborhood and will tower over Bayshores. AutoNation's plan to
move their Sales and Service, including their heavy automative repair business, to the proposed location
will contribute significant noise, light pollution, traffic and congestion to our neighborhood.
This Porsche AutoNation project should be completely denied.

Dear City Council,
The proposed Porsche Dealership on Coast Hwy. is not only a good project, but a Great
Project!
There are some misguided Newport Residents that are in opposition to this
project. The claim that this project will have a negative impact upon the immediate
neighbors is simply not true. There are so many great reasons (the City Council has
been made aware of all of these reasons) to approve this project including the tax
revenue that will be generated. A few residents of a city that has over 87,000 residents
should not sway the City Council to deny a good project that any other city would love to
have.
This project will provide an attractive new building and a high end retail automobile
business that will greatly add to the "gateway" appearence that PCH needs to achieve
The report prepared by the City's professional employees to the Planning Commission
was very positive in favor of this project.
I respectfully request that each Council member make their decision about this project
based on the facts and not the hysterics of a few myopic residents.
Regards,
John Newcomb (resident of Newport Beach since 1986)

Subject: Mariners" Mile the Vision- The Connectivity- Autonation Porsche Deanship
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 4:59:48 PM
Dear Mayor and Honorable Newport Beach City Council Members,
Newport Beach has plans to launch many new projects to include Back Bay Landing,
Balboa Marine West, The Mariner's Mile Corridor Revitalization Plan and Avon Village. I
am certain that the City views these improvements both exciting for visitors, locals,
pedestrians and bicycle enthusiasts. With the onslaught of these projects there remains
a need for smart and thoughtful planning that would maintain a safe and harmonious
transportation corridor.
The City of Newport must be sensitive to approximately 1,725 residential homes with
three major schools that are located directly above and/or adjacent to Pacific Coast
Highway. These communities include Bayshores, Cliff Haven and Newport Heights. As
our elected Council Members you will need to decide what our vision is for all of these
projects and most importantly their connectivity to each other through the Mariners'
Mile Corridor.
Are we going to be a Maritime Mile or are we going to be Motor Mile? At both of the
Planning Commission Meetings, the Commissioners, except Mr. Kramer, agreed that
this project did not fit the Maritime Nautical theme and it was simply too massive of
project for 1.6 acre area. They recommended that the service areas be relocated by the
airport where many local dealerships conduct their services. It has been documented
and very apparent that Autonation has not been a good neighbor to our surrounding
communities. It is to my understanding that Mr. Jim Campbell has been diligently trying
to address these serious violations with the applicant.
Recently, driving from San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar and
Huntington Beach, I noted that all of these transportation corridors in these Coastal
Downtown Cties are two lanes in each direction. Increasing the lanes on Pacific Coast
Highway increases speed. Porsche Autonation's test drives are from Bayside to
Brookhurst in Huntington Beach and back. These test drives exceed the legal speed
limits and decibel levels. As you may know, Avon Village is planning to be 50%
residential and 50% commercial. We simply can not have a race track going through a
pedestrian scramble, retail and luxury town homes as was presented by the consultant
Placeworks at the recent Mariners' Mile Community Workshop.
In closing, this project is in direct conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs
regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, that would otherwise decrease
the performance or safety of surrounding developments. The proposed Porsche
Autonation as currently planned will have a significant negative impact to the Mariners'
Mile Vision.
It is at this time, that I respectively ask that the City Council to look towards our future
and maintain the Mariners' Mile Vision, as well as, the overall connectivity of the
upcoming revitalization projects.
Please deny the Porsche Autonation project as it will be presented to you on November
7, 2016.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: AutoNation Porsche of Newport Beach (PA 2015-095)
Honorable Mayor Members of the City Council:
We live on Kings Road, directly above the proposed Porsche dealership. We are
not asking the City to deny all development on the commercial parcels below us. However, we
are asking the City Council to uphold the Planning Commission's denial of this application in its
current form for the same reasons the Planning Commission denied the project:
(1) The "design, location, size and operating characteristics of the use are
not compatible and would prove detrimental to existing [residential] uses in the vicinity."
(2) The "site is not physically suitable in terms of its location and size to
support an automobile dealership of the intensity and size sought by the applicant."
(3) The "increased height up to thirty-five (35) feet ... decreases the distance
between the proposed ...rooftop parking and residences along Kings Road. This
relationship is undesirable as it will subject residences to increased noise nuisance
attributable to cars on the roof or other commercial activities."
(4) The "project does not provide any meaningful additional amenities such
as increased open space or maintenance of views to the bluff ...to offset the request for
increased height."
Use of the parcels for a showroom facility (i.e., no repairs) that respects the
standard 26 -foot height limit and eliminates any rooftop parking would be tight but workable.
However, the applicant wants to exceed the normal height limit and wants to be the first project
along Mariners' Mile to have rooftop parkinga terrible precedent. The residential neighbors of
this project would suffer all the negative consequences if the City Council overturned the
Planning Commission's well -reasoned rejection of the project as proposed. Please be responsive
to the community's concerns and reject the appeal.
Please let us know when you are available to sit down and discuss this in person.

City Council should approve Porsche Dealership
The proposed Porsche dealership along Mariners Mile has caused a classic "Rock and A Hard Place" for
the City of Newport Beach. Before the City Council considers this project it should analyze the future
financial impact to the City. The City should accept Porsche's offer to deed 500 feet of frontage and do
the street improvements at no cost to the City.
Early on the City Staff was in favor of the project. To obtain a building permit the landowner was
required to deed fifteen feet off the front of his property. The dealership would have been allowed to
use this property until the City was ready to widen Coast Highway, sometime in the future. Porsche
agreed.
The Planning Commission changed its mind and required the developer to widen Coast Highway in front
of his property. The added cost to build new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paving, relocation of street
lights and underground utilities would add several hundred thousand dollars to the cost of the
development but the owner and the dealership again consented to these new requirements.
At a second hearing the Planning Commission rejected the development entirely.
If the City Council turns this project down the future costs to widen the 500 feet of frontage will no
doubt be higher than today and the City will bear the cost of the Highway improvements. Plus the City
will have to pay the owner rather than have it deeded for free.
The land is fairly shallow and by taking fifteen feet of its depth it will reduce the potential develop
potential. When the City files its eminent domain lawsuit to acquire the frontage for widening, all of the
existing buildings must be destroyed. The damages incurred will be substantial.
By approving the project as agreed by Porsche, the City will obtain the needed land for widening, have
the roadway constructed at no cost to the City and be relieved of future litigation for damages to the
remaining land.
If the dealership chose to move to Costa Mesa or Irvine there would be a tremendous loss of sales tax
to the City.

Dear Mayor Dixon:
For the past 9 years we have lived at 645 Bayside Dr. Promontory Bay. During that time we
couldn't have asked for a better neighbor than Newport Auto Center. The entire staff is composed of
extremely friendly individuals who have a genuine concern for the customer's satisfaction. If there is
even potential for an issue to arise, Newport Auto Center is quick to address it and find a solution.
These are all reasons why we are very supportive of the new dealership opening at 600 West Coast
Hwy on Mariner's Mile.
Funny story several years back. Our neighbors complained on occasion about two loud
porsches (maybe) going too fast down Bayside. They blamed the dealership, then later found out it
was my neighbor and I acting like kids. The most embarrassing part was that it was discovered at our
annual association meeting in front of everyone(whoops).
We are very excited for the dealership and believe the community will benefit from the new
addition.

that the project will have a negative impact on the area.
I feel A Porsche dealership would be a positive fit to this segment of Coast Highway, generating
revenue for the City and providing an updated image at the proposed location. Furthermore, the
dealership will also be compatible with surrounding uses as it is consistent with the City's
General Plan and Zoning for the area. While this project is naturally causing fear to the Kings

Re: AutoNation Porsche of Newport Beach (PA2015-095)
Dear Mayor Dixon and City Council members:
We have learned from City Manager Dave Kiff and Principal Planner James Campbell that AutoNation
withdrew their application for this project this afternoon. That is welcome news, and thank you for the timely
information.
12-47
In the interest of sharing with City Council the feedback we have received from the community regarding this
project, we are attaching the petition which asked for a NO vote on the project, a recap of the results and
supporting details. The petition has been circulating since September 26 and had gathered 1145 signatures by
October 31.
Sincerely,
Peggy Palmer Kings Road 92663 pvombaur&aol.com

Petition to Stop AutoNation Porsche Project
Petition to Stop AutoNation Porsche
Project
Newport Beach Planning Commission & City Council:
We believe that AutoNationPorsche is a BAD FIT for Mariners' Mile, and ask that the Planning
Commission deny the application for this project, and the City Council uphold that decision.
Please VOTE NO and deny the project currently proposed for 320-600 W. Pacific Coast Highway, for
these reasons:
......The project would replace small neighborhood -friendly businesses with a shiny corporate monolith
almost as long as two football fields, wedged against the coastal bluff between two residential
neighborhoods.
......its architecture and size are unlike any other nearby buildings, flying in the face of ongoing planning
for a nautically -themed Mariners' Mile.
......The auto -dealership uses (both sales and service) do not primarily serve local residents or harbor
visitors and are inappropriate for the residential surroundings, with potential impacts on health, safety,
traffic, noise, bluff stability, light pollution, visual resources and property values. More appropriate areas
exist within the city (for example, near the airport).
......The Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is not sufficient to address the potential negative
impacts attendant to this project. Please require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to fully evaluate
those.
In conclusion, AutoNation Porsche does not fit into the developing vision for Mariners' Mile. The
redevelopment of these parcels should be deferred until that vision is complete. Furthermore, the
potential negative impacts on long-established Newport neighborhoods need more analysis. Approving
AutoNation Porsche at this time would be out of sequence in Newport's own planning strategy, and
utterly inconsistent with the direction suggested by existing City documents.
Please Vote NO on the AutoNation Porsche application.
Thank you.

1. 1 support the request for a no vote by the planning commission etc. on the
Auto Nation/Porsche project along Mariners' Mile
2. Although this does not directly affect where I live, Autonation Porche certainly
affects where, when and how I drive to Newport Beach. We already have at leas,
3 car dealerships on Coast Hiway which adds at times to congestion, especially
when people need to drive in or out of these dealerships. It would be better to haN
an area located elsewhere in Newport that would be just devoted to car
dealerships like Autonation in Irvine or in Santa Ana. PCH should have shops an

without adding more from the dealership.

NO! on this development!
The AutoNation proposal is not in keeping with the character and 'feel' of Newpor
Beach along the NB -PCH corridor, especially with its' unique blend of smaller
businesses creating a unique feel and experience, all while supporting small
businesses. Plus NB is prized for providing consumers with a more personalized
shopping/eating experience as opposed to a "big box / big chain"experience
which anyone can get anywhere.
Newport Beach must be preserved for its' uniqueness and Auto Nation has plenty
of other geographic locations to choose from for their vehicle sales and service
that are more suitable and don't destory our beach/coastal/surf culture ambiance
and trade in on our tourist attractiveness to, instead, a car repair station which...
as I mentioned... can be done anywhere. (There's a coner on Harbor Blvd and
Wilson, I believe, that is in keeping with AutoNations image and business offering

spot and YOU want to put another car dealership there????? Can't you come up

make new friends or meet old ones? How about something to enjoy life instead of
selling more cars... oh..... I forgot we live in Orange County where we have no

What on earth could the Planning Commission be thinking?! This will surely
change the character of Newport Beach along that strip of PCH. When will they
stop? I'm tired of seeing our beautiful community destroyed by greed and the
need to generate more revenue to the city in order to pay off the shocking debt

Why is it that developers engage previous mayors of the City to ram their projects
through? They're like politicians who become lobbyists when their political terms
are up. Residents don't hear about these projects until they've all but passed
through all the hoops; and by then it can be too late to do anything about them,
and we're stuck with them. What happened to Green Light? Why isn't AutoNation

553 9/28/2016 14:50:01 92663
This proposed building is out of character for the site, will create unacceptable
noise issues, unacceptable night lighting that will be a nuisance for neighboring
properties, traffic issues that will be dangerous for traffic flow on PCH especially
when the proposed Auto Nation Porsche trailer truck is attempting to unload nev
deliveries ( aka cars)
In addition it displaces numerous small business that are popular with the
neighboring communities . Their are other car dealerships within very close
proximity to the proposed site , they are significantly smaller in scale and to my
knowledge do not have an on site service centers . A service center in this
location is not appropriate due to toxic fumes from the cars waiting in the service
line and obvious traffic issues. This location is within close proximity to two long

AutoNation Porsche has already demonstrated with their current location that the
will be unable to control the arrival of car transport trailers, therefore the space
they have dedicated for new car arrival will be inadequate causing traffic
congestion and hazardous driving conditions on PCH.
A similar condition will potentially happen as customers drop off their cars for
service. Scheduling the service times for customers works ONLY if customers
adhere to the exact times they are scheduled. In the real world this does not
happen. This is demonstrated most mornings at Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz
with dozens of cars parked on city streets waiting up to an hour before they can
be moved to Fletcher Jones property. Unfortunately, no "overflow" city street

St. Andrews. My family and I ride bikes down Riverside and PCH to go to the
beach every weekend. My daughter rides her bike the same way to Jr. Guards
every summer with all of the other Newport Heights JGs. The Jr High kids enjoy
Cest si Bon on Riverside for lunch every Wednesday during early out. We have

The Porsche AutoNation Project proposes to construct a massive structure on an
inappropriate site. This site sits between two residential neighborhoods, not othe
commercial property. Nothing about the design or use fits a Mariner's Mile theme
The large trucks used for pick up and delivery of multiple automobiles is not
conducive to this part of Pacific Coast Highway. Rooftop parking on a building
FIFTY feet high will not enhance the southeastern entrance to Mariner's Mile. Th
bluff provides some buffer to the noise of the highway; this overbuilt structure wi
bounce the noise off its facade to surrounding neighborhoods. Property values w

This proposed location on PCH is unsafe! Unlike other dealer locations, the
proposed dealership location only has the busy PCH to use for loading &
unloading car carriers, customer traffic and demonstration rides. This dealership
should be located on land that has multi -road access, and an area where noise

Mariner's Mile. PCH. The waterfront. Whatever you want to call it, this is an
exceptionally bad location for an auto dealership. (I'm sure the developers would
disagree. It would be a great location ... for them.) But, think about it! This area
should be used for restaurants and smaller retail shops and services. People
should be able to come here to enjoy the cool ocean breezes and harbor views. I
know, sounds corny, but it's about all we have left.
A harbor view auto dealership? ... No!
I wonder how this can even pass preliminary planning! No offense, but you guys
at City Planning really need to start using a little bit of common sense!
I'm sure the developer will argue that there are already some auto dealerships
along this strip. That is true, but it doesn't mean they SHOULD be there! Also,
those are much, much, smaller. Locating several dealerships together, in large
complexes, away from scenic and sensitive areas makes sense. This does not.
Thank you.

The AutoNation Porsche project is not suitable for Mariners' Mile. It is far too
bulky for these shallow lots and would present a shiny monolithic character for the
length of almost two football fields, overwhelming the coastal bluff behind it. The
residents of the surrounding neighborhoods would use small, local service and
commercial businesses daily, weekly or monthly and appreciate their being
nearby. If we want to buy a Porsche we can just drive a mile over to PCH and
Bayside. We have already been stuck with Ridgeway's Haunted Villa. Please

That section of PCH is historic. Those shops are not "underutilized." They add
charm and character to our city. The large auto dealership belongs in the

There is absolutely no reason to approve this project. It hurts property owners wh
have invested years, lives in this community. It is simply wrong to cause harm to
property owners, families, parents, children who live here in order to make profits'
for people who don't. It's not fair - it's wrong - it's immoral. People who live here,
who make this community their home, must be heard. Their voices must be
stronger than the profit -makers! is not okay to invade Cliff haven and Newport
Heights with this project! It's not okay to wipe out people's lives and property
values! People matter and families matter and this project does not belong where
you want to put it!

910 9/30/2016 12:54:18 92663 was the Ardell property owned now by Mike Moshayedi.
1. The building is the size of almost 2 football fields --over 440 --feet of stucco and
metal. It is not particularly in keeping with Newport. 2. The architecture must
meet with Porsche Germany's desire which I find offensive. If you want to
assimilate, you assimilate not demand. 3. The noise will be horrendous in spite of
all the "studies," they are just studies. 4. PCH will backup no matter what the
"studies" indicate. The trucks offloading will not get into the drive as predicted as
evidenced by the current situation on Bayside Drive with the trucks in the center
blocking entrances and exits. The lighting will cast far and wide no matter the
"studies." This entire project is an eyesore, will increase traffic an already

2.Newport Dunes Center (Bayside Dr.): permitting events for 5,000+.

THIS is NOT consistent with a "revitalization" of Mariner's Mile, unless you want it
-
to end up like Harbor Blvd. At half the size and half the height, maybe. Why put
a looming, possibly very noisy, eye -sore between two quiet neighborhoods. King;
Road is some of the most expensive housing in NB, why devalue it with noise
(which always travels up) and an enormous ugly building below. Why should the
residents of Bayshores have to put up with it? Newport is a bedroom community

The Planning Commission's job is to protect Newport Beach from allowing grossly
inappropriate development from occuring. A single 50'-60' tall mono structure
stretching 500' along the PCH over 4 parcels is not appropriate and flies in the
face of common sense. Please do not approve this oversized project.

The overall coverage seems to be out of scale. Similar to the corner jewelry store
which is located on the signalized corner. Customers do not like to park in a
enclosed structure, therefore you should always keep an eye on the second and
third generation tenants that may occupy the building. This is not a vision I would

benefit of the investors, not for our neighborhood well being! They should locate
somewhere else in the city that will not be impacted as much by additional traffic

The reloation of the AutoNation dealership would provide zero benfit to the
Newport Beach residents. It would fracture and degrade the resident quality of lift

As a Bayshore homeowner and a resident of Newport Beach for over 55 years, I
am greatly concerned that a 490'X 50' auto center with a large service, sales and
resale component is being promoted for Mariners Mile. At the very least, it seems
reasonable to delay any decision until a plan for the area is established with inpu
from all residents, city planners, and landowners.

92663 Please vote "NO!" at this time for AutoNation along Mariners' Mile.
No AutoNation or any other car dealership on crowded PCH. This is not a good
use for the area near our homes. Make Mariners Mile pedestrian friendly. Thank
