Dear Chair Tucker and Members of the Committee:
I've been a resident of Harbor View Hills for 20 years and I can't believe how much
our quality of life here in Newport Beach has changed from over population, pollution
from the airplanes, homelessness issues and it seems to keep getting worse.
I implore you to preserve at least the views we paid a dear price to enjoy from ourcommunity. Our Harbor View Hills Community Association is made up of 146 homes,
who along with residents of 100 homes in Harbor View Broadmoor, have for over 60
years enjoyed the height limit protection of the City’s Sight Plane Ordinance (#1596).
The ordinance limits the height of all buildings and landscaping to a maximum heightof 32 feet and never to invade the Sight Plane.
It is important to remember the historical basis for this ordinance. In 1960, The Irvine
Company began selling homes in Harbor View Hills with views of the Bay, Ocean and
City. The Company also owned most of the vacant land in Newport Center. Agreeingthey could not sell the same view twice, The Irvine Company agreed to the Sight
Plane Ordinance to protect the views from Harbor View Hills across the land that is
now Corporate Plaza, Corporate Plaza West, CdM Plaza and the Library and City
Hall sites. For over 60 years, hundreds of residents of Harbor View Hills havepurchased their homes and paid a very substantial premium for this protected view.
We understand that your committee and the City have a difficult task to accommodate
the demands of the state in the RHNA numbers. However, we ask that your planningand recommendations to the City Council respect the long established height limits
reflected in the Sight Plane Ordinance.

We have been homeowners in Harbor View Hills since 1984. One of the
reasons we purchased our home was because of the protected ocean, bay and
city views provided by the height limit protection of the City’s Sight Plane
Ordinance (#1596). The ordinance limits the height of all buildings and
landscaping to a maximum height of 32 feet and never to invade the Sight
Plane. We sincerely hope that we can continue enjoying this view.
We understand that your committee and the City have a difficult task to
accommodate the demands of the state in the RHNA numbers. However, we
ask that your planning and recommendations to the City Council respect the
long established height limits reflected in the Sight Plane Ordinance. It would
mean a lot for us to continue enjoying this community so much.

Dear Chair Tucker and Members of the Committee:
The City's Sight Plane Ordinance was established for the residents to have protected views of the bay,
ocean and city. Hundreds of residents for more than 60 years have purchased these homes in Harbor
View Hills Community Association and Harbor View Broadmoor for a protected view. In addition, recent
resales have been in the multi millions.
We are sure you are able to find a way to meet the State's RHNA numbers without changing height limits
in the City's Sight Plane Ordinance. We certainly respect and appreciate your efforts keeping our
Ordinance viable.
