Comments on the Newport Beach Land Use Element Amendment Advisory Committee agenda from:
Jim Mosher ( limmosher(a)yahoo.com ), 2210 Private Road, Newport Beach 92660 (949- 548 -6229)
2) Approval of Minutes (September 3, 2013, Meeting)
The following minor corrections are suggested --
1. Page 2:
a. Paragraph 3, last sentence: "Qunne ^'; Gunnells gave an overview of the bayside
of Mariners' Mile."
b. Paragraph 4:
i. First sentence: "Mr. Gary Picket Pickett, representing a property on
Mariners' Mile, confirmed ..." [note: the spelling with 2 is is the one that has
been used in City Council minutes]
ii. Second sentence: "It was discussed that redevelopment of the 4rdel
Ardell properties was discussed as part of the 2006 General Plan
update." [note: see following agenda item (Attachment No. 2) for owner's
spelling]
c. Paragraph IV.a heading: "a. The Hangers Hangars" [note: for preferred spelling
see applicant's representative's letter in Attachment No. 3, or to quote from the internet
"You park your plane in a hangar but hang up your slacks on a hanger. "]
2. Page 3:
a. Last sentence: "... in the agenda binder and on the City Hall Bulletin BGa
electronic bulletin board located in the entrance of the Council Chambers at
100 Civic Center Drive." [note: there is no physical bulletin board at the new council
chambers. Instead, the paper agenda is filed in a three -ring binder for public inspection,
supplemented by a rotating electronic display of the binder contents.]
Final note on spelling: The agenda listing for Item 5 ( "Overview of Potential Policy Areas ")
provides a link to a page of "Design Guidelines and Plans" on the City website. Those
"background documents" include a "Mariner's Mile Strategic Vision and Design Framework"
from 2000, which consistently and insistently uses the spelling "Mariner's'. Although the 2006
General Plan uses "Mariners' Mile" 45 times to just 5 uses of "Mariner's Mile," the 2009 version
of the Coastal Land Use Plan uses "Mariner's Mile" 22 times compared to 6 uses of "Mariners'
Mile." In settling on "Mariners' Mile" the LUEAAC is maintaining consistency with the General
Plan, but based on the vision document and the current City wayfinding signs, which say
"Mariner's Mile," may be going against the preference of the local stakeholders.
