Hi Gregg,
I would suggest that the second sentence of revised Policy LU 6.14.4 be reworded to read: "But allow variations in height
for hotels not located along main roads into Fashion Island." A hotel use will not have a smaller footprint since the
bottom floor will have lobbies, reception area, restaurants, meeting spaces, shops and the like. But the tower will have
smaller floor plates than office. Requiring both a reduction of building footprint and vertical mass, and in addition more
ground level open space probably won't work. And I am not sure this type of use needs much open space. Also, it is not
clear what the vertical mass will be reduced from, so I am not sure we need to refer to vertical mass at all. I think the
Committee's goal was to accommodate a hotel as long as it was not built in too prominent of a location, like the entries
into Fashion Island (which would primarily be off of Coast Highway, or even San Miguel Drive).
Thanks and see you on the 7`h. Happy New Year!
Larry
P.S. Please pass along to Woody as I don't seem to have his email address.
