Re: Amendment to Anomaly #2 in Statistical Area 4 to permit an auto dealership
Dear Chairman Selich and Ms. Wisnewski:
I have recently been made aware of the desire of a major auto manufacturer to locate in
the Airport Area of Newport Beach and of the Land Use Element Amendment process
currently underway. As a result, I am hereby requesting your support for an
amendment to Anomaly #2 in Statistical Area 4 to permit an auto dealership. Because
of the confidentiality requirements in siting auto dealerships, we cannot disclose the
exact location or the manufacturer; however, there is an opportunity to bring another
prestigious dealership to the city in this approximate area. This request does not
include the addition of any additional square footage to this Anomaly, but will retain the
flexibility to entice the manufacturer to an optimal location in Newport Beach.
We appreciate your review of this request and look forward to a positive
recommendation to the LUE Amendment Committee. We thank you for your efforts to
work with us to address this important opportunity.
Sincerely,
Fletcher Jones, Jr.
