Subject: Project at 1113 Kings Road
I am opposed the variance for the house at 1113 Kings Road. They are asking for a variance because of
the steep slope on the property. There are several reasons why this is now a valid reason for a variance;
1. All of the lots on the south side of Kings Road are on a similar slope
2. They had to know that there was a slope when they bought the Property.
3. There are many houses that are bigger that are under the height limit. They can go down to
bet more space.
The real question here is, why does the city have zoning rules and a general plan, when almost every
two weeks, there are projects before the planning commission for variances. Why do the residents of
Newport Beach continually having to go before the city with objections to variances.
