Dear Housing Element Update Advisory Committee:
I am sorry for not including everyone on the email below since I had only sent it to the members of
the subcommittee. However I was advised it should be sent to everyone on the committee and so
please see below regarding Newport Beach Golf Course and thoughts on how we interpret
development within Zone 4.
Thanks,
Brett Feuerstein

Mrs. DeSantis and Mr. Sandland:
Thanks for your subcommittee’s work and draft thoughts on housing within the 65 CNEL. I have
reviewed the draft meeting agenda and would love to be able to speak with you about the findings
for Safety Zone 4. Per the attached info regarding JWA Safety Zone 4 I believe that residential is
allowed but the question is at what density. It is especially complicated since residential allowances
for urban areas (a designation that we believe that we are for this property) allows an “average
density of comparable surrounding users”. In addition I have always understood that if there is
development on a site by an airport, the aiport would always like to have it closer together. This
leave more open area like parks or parking lots on the remaining land. We thought that townhomes
on Zone 4 at 17 units per acre (a total of approx. 100 total townhomes on Zone 4) made the most
sense, since next to it would be denser multifamily which we proposed for our property in Zone 6,

and this way the townhomes were much less dense then the multifamily, and at the same time the
townhomes consisted of enough units to make a difference to the City’s RHNA numbers. If the
committee thought it was more appropriate we could explore doing detached single family lots that
would be approx. 12 units per acre (a total of approx. 70 units). In either scenario Zone 4 would also
have a 1.5 acre park which besides the obvious benefits makes for more open area for the airport in
Zone 4.
If you wanted to I would love to speak with you about this site.
Just as a side note the exhibit titled “JWA Noise Contours” (page 17 of the subcommittee action
report) has some info that needs to be updated since the decibel contours are off. Please see
attached to show the correct contours. The exhibit titled “Ownership Inventory Properties
Interesting with the JWA 65 CNEL” has it shown correctly and I just didn’t want anyone to get
confused by the discrepancy.
Thanks and again I really appreciate all of your dedicated time and efforts with this process,
Brett
