Subject: LUE Amendment Advisory Committee request
Dear Mr. Chairman: I have attached a letter requesting inclusion of my client's property on Birch
between Dove and Quail in the current LUE Amendment process. While we will not have a
preliminary site plan for your review due to the most recent finalization of the purchase, we are most
willing to work with staff to do an analysis of existing ADT and the potential for adding retail, hotel
and additional office. We will attend the Committee meeting on September 3, 2013 and will have an
aerial and current site plan for discussion.
Thank you for your consideration of this important request. cmmc

RE: Potential Land Use Change on the site known as "The Hangars"
Dear Councilman Selich:
I represent the firm which has just acquired a majority of the buildings on Birch
between Dove and Quail, and my client recognizes the importance of further upgrading
and expansion of the uses on the site to better serve the people of Newport Beach and
visitors to the City. As a result, we wish to be considered for a potential land use change,
during the process you are undertaking. While we are currently limited to general
office use, we see the potential for expanded office, retail and hotel uses, necessitating a
change that we would work with your staff and consultant team to analyze.
We respectfully request your favorable consideration of our request and will be in
attendance at the LUE Advisory Committee meeting on September 3, 2013 to further
understand how we might work together. Thank you for your leadership in these
important matters to the City.
Sincerely,
Carol McDermott
