Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
I am writing on behalf of the Balboa Peninsula Point Association
regarding the revisioning concept for the Balboa Performing Arts
Theatre. We enthusiastically support the City of Newport Beach in a
new plan for utilizing the property at 707 E. Balboa Blvd for the
implementation of community art, art education and community
recreational classes. Our community would greatly benefit from a local
community center for residents and non - residents on the Balboa
Peninsula. The closest facility of this kind is the Carroll Beek
Community Center on Balboa Island, which is very limiting due to the
small size. A community center would also benefit Newport
Elementary, Newport Beach Junior Lifeguards, ExplorOcean, Balboa
Village businesses, local associations, etc.
Balboa Village has been an ugly eye sore for many years and we hope
the City of Newport Beach embraces the property 707 E. Balboa Blvd in
the first large scale improvement to the Balboa Village.
Sincerely,
Alison Ryffel
BPPA President
BVT Board Member
