Subject: Zoning Change at 4302 Ford Road and Speed limit on San Miguel
To Newport Beach City Planner Ben Zdeba
Dear Mr. Zdeba,
My family has lived in Newport Hill for 45 years. We enjoy living in a great master planned community.
From my perspective, a small infill apartment/condominium project is very inconsistent and detrimental
to all the beautiful master planned projects surrounding that area. The most worrisome part of such an
infill project to the city could be the erosion of home values in the surrounding developments that could
cause the city to loose tax dollars. I would think that a city parks management and maintenance facility
would be a much better use of that property.
Fifty miles an hour speed limit on San Miguel Road is also very inconsistent with other roads with even
busier traffic in the city of Newport Beach. Marguerite has a 45mph speed limit with a 35mph speed
limit next to the Oasis Center. Children cross San Miguel at Pacific View to go to Lincoln School. I ask
you to bring the speed limit to a much safer 35mph at San Miguel and Pacific View and also along the
section contiguous with the city park. Also I believe the community would be much safer with a 45 mph
speed limit for all of San Miguel.
Thank you for receiving my opinions,
Linda Ford
