In response to the environmental documents online, I think
they are inadequate per the following reasons:
1. A General Plan Amendment and rezone of the property
should require a full EIR and not a negative dec. This is a
major change to the neighborhood, general plan, and
rezone, a negative dec. is inadequate.
2. The “traffic study” (I only saw a section on traffic, not a full
traffic study) is flawed. A 21 unit apartment unit with 63
bedrooms will generate more than 10 peak trips in peak
times. The assumptions that came up with this few
number of trips are flawed. 63 bedrooms, will easily be at
least 63 persons living at the project, if not more. Since
multi-family units attract more adults than children, this
could be as many as 60+ adults living here, all whom will
be leaving for work and returning at peak times, not to
mention shopping and other trips. Peak trips will be
substantially more than indicated.
3. As mentioned above, the 63 bedrooms could have 60 +
adults living in them, all with cars. The parking for the
project is inadequate. There would need to be at least one
resident parking spot for each bedroom, plus guest
parking…. At least 80 on-site parking spots should be
provided.
4. The guest parking will be so unattractive and
unseen (underground) by guests, the adjacent Bonita
parking lot will be in constant use by the
project. There needs to be visible, surface parking
available to guests for the project, in order to insure they
park on-site.
Please submit my comments to the environmental documents
into the public record.

Hi Lonnie,
I hope you had a nice weekend.
I appreciate your patience in letting me get back to you, as I was away from the office Friday and have
been working to catch up on emails.
Yes, you may email your written comments to me. Please let me know if you have further questions.
All my best,
Ben Z.

How does one file a comment to the environmental

Hello, Nadal family,
Thank you for taking the time to write. I am confirming reception and appreciate your thoughtful
comments. I will keep your email as part of the public record and will attach it to the Planning
Commission staff report as correspondence received when this project goes for public hearing.
There was a Planning Commission study session held Thursday last week to introduce the project to the
Commissioners and the public. No action was taken at this meeting. The agenda packet and a video
recording are available here. The environmental document for the project is available here.
If the applicant chooses to move forward, there will be:
1. A public hearing with the Planning Commission wherein action will be taken on the project;
2. A public hearing with the John Wayne Airport Land Use Commission because this is a legislative
action that would change land use within the airport planning area; and
3. A public hearing with the City Council where a final action will be rendered.
On that note, I will add your email address to the interest list, so I can keep you informed as to when any
upcoming hearings are going to occur. If you are interested, the City also has an online “eNotifications”
system, which you can sign up for here. Be sure to opt in for “Planning Commission” and “City Council
Public Hearings.”
Thanks again and please contact me if you have questions.
All my best,
Ben Z.

We do not approve of the project as submitted. The parking is
significantly inadequate for the number of units. The code is
obsolete. There needs to be 2 parking spots for every 1
bedroom, and another .5 parking spots for visitors for each
unit.
