Ed,
Did you really suggest this as an option-- -
What happened to the legitimate land use elements that residents requested by addressed in
the GP LUE update, such as:
- Compatible Mix of Uses(height is not the only factor in compatibility)
- Concentration (alcohol establishments, other Uses)
- "Opportunities for Change" —why is Mariners Mile the only coastal area called out to
addressSpecific Plans /planning in the West Newport coastal areas ?(Is the Committee only
taking Mr. Ridgeway seriously, and not all of the other residents and groups).
-The entire area along and adjoining the coastal highway west of Jamboree needs some serious
plan Policy to Prevent Over - Intensification causing cumulative Traffic and other environmental
and safety impacts that cannot be mitigated given inherent infrastructure constraints.
Staff has addressed in its report the elimination of certain Specific Plans. Please clarify and
confirm that the GPLUE Policy is NOT suggesting the elimination of Specific Plans en toto.
Specific planning is needed to assure that, particularly in coastal areas ,economic revitalization
is achieved without compromising environmental and residential neighborhood integrity.
Once again, we respectfully request that these items be explicitly addressed by the
Committee /the City.
There are a number of specific elements that ARE included in the GP —why the inconsistency of
approach?
These elements DO need to be carefully considered and addressed, by the City with adequate
public process.
We would appreciate a response prior to or at the February 4th GP LUE Amendment Committee
meeting.
Thank you,
Denys Oberman
