Dear Newport Beach City Council Members & Staff, My name is Matthew Parisi and my wife and I are homeowners in Newport Beach. We have lived in the City for the past eight years and consider it our home. I also own a small business as well as run a national non-profit organization, both based here in Newport Beach. I am writing to you today to voice my full support for the zoning amendment that you are considering at your next Council meeting on August 25th. As it is spelled out on the agenda, the zoning code amendment will allow for wine tasting rooms to operate in the Industrial Zone of Newport Beach near 16th Street/Placentia/Monrovia. I urge you to support this zoning amendment as well! As a peninsula resident, I still view this City as a small town. Part of the 'small town feel' includes visiting an area that is geared more toward locals rather than our City's visitors. If the Industrial Zone were to have this improved use to allow for wine tasting rooms, it would provide exactly the social opportunity that locals, like myself, are looking for! Further, as a small business supporter, I believe this zoning amendment will allow for small business owners to grow their businesses. We all know how important it is to give every small business an opportunity to grow, especially given this terrible pandemic, I kindly and respectfully ask you to support the zoning code amendment and allow wine tasting rooms in the Industrial Zone of Newport Beach!

Newport Beach City Council & Staff, My name is Shauna Parisi and I am a homeowner and business owner in Newport Beach. My husband and I have lived on the Peninsula for a number of years and I started my own small consulting business based here in Newport as well. With this in mind, I urge you to support the zoning code amendment which would allow wine tasting rooms in the Industrial Zone off of Placentia & 16th Street. As a resident, I have long enjoyed the opportunity to meet with friends away from some of the hot spots where tourists visit regularly. The social opportunity that re -envisioning this neighborhood will bring to the community is certainly a benefit. That part of Newport Beach has so much potential and can be a wonderful place for all of us to enjoy some local wine with friends and family. Approving this zoning code amendment would be of outstanding social benefit for our community. In addition, supporting this amendment will help support small, local, family owned businesses. This terrible pandemic and the accompanying shut down of cities and businesses has brought so much hardship on many small businesses. What better way to support a sub -group (wine tasting rooms) of small businesses than to open up a new zone for them to start or establish business locations. As you consider this vote, please take my note of support as a plea to pass this zoning amendment. Thank you for your time and consideration!

I grew up in Newport, graduated from Newport Harbor, am a Registered Nurse, a Newport business owner, and a youth beach volleyball coach. I have previously worked at Hoag Newport and many Hoag surgery centers on Hospital avenue. I am currently working long shifts doing drive -up COVID testing in full hazmat PPE, Monday through Friday. It is outside under a tent in the heat. It is extraordinarily difficult and dangerous nursing. Please consider what I have to say. I am aware that the Council is considering an amendment to the zoning code. I kindly request that you PASS THIS AMENDMENT allowing wine tasting rooms to operate in the Industrial Zone off of 16th Street and Placentia. This area of the city could really use something nice. Most of the places are car shops, although there is a great coffee shop in the area (Daydream) and having that coffee shop there actually made it a better area. It would be nice to see something where I could go wine tasting after a long shift. I am sure there are many other medical professionals who work at or near Hoag who would appreciate it too.

I am a Newport Beach resident, homeowner, and business owner. I am aware that the Council is considering an amendment to the zoning code in the City to allow wine tasting rooms to operate in the Industrial Zone off of 16th Street and Placentia. I kindly request that you PASS this amendment allowing wine tasting rooms to operate in this area. I am writing this to ask you to PLEASE SUPPORT changing the zoning ordinance to allow for WINE TASTING ROOMS. Newport is a city of people who enjoy wine and tasting experiences; however, we often have to drive to Temecula for that purpose. I think our city would benefit from wine tasting rooms, especially because: • They attract affluent and classy customers. Newport needs more of this. • They promote responsible appreciation of wine and attract additional business towards our city. • Wine Tasting Rooms offer a more intelligent choice for evenings than the "Peninsula Bar Scene" that is often rowdy, rude, and overcrowded. • Newport has been unfortunately developing a bad reputation as a summer party town, and it is not a good thing. Local residents are tired of trashy dive bars. • We want something nice that is primarily wine focused. The existing options of our amazing restaurants are only food -focused that offer wine as a secondary thought. Wine tasting rooms are classy, and Newport is classy. As a resident I really don't want to drive to another city or area. I want to enjoy wine tasting where I live. Please SUPPORT changing the zoning ordinance to allow for wine tasting rooms in the city of Newport Beach in the Industrial Zone off of 16th Street and Placentia.

Dear City of Newport Beach Council Members, My name is Sherrie Palmer, I live and work in the city of Newport Beach. I recently heard that the Council is considering an amendment to the zoning code to allow wine tasting rooms to operate in the area of Newport Beach, west off of Placentia and 16th street South in the industrial area. I highly request to pass this amendment to allow this type of business to operate in this area. This is exactly what the City needs! The Industrial Zone area is part of the City that would be perfect and benefit from this improved use. As a resident of Newport Beach, I would love to see this part of town zoned to allow this type of business, to allow the community a place to go to meet with their friends and family, and enjoy some local wine in a social setting. This is a great time and a fabulous way to support small local businesses. The pandemic has hurt so many small businesses, "mom and pop" owners, at this time, I think it's a perfect time to show support for these small shops and PASS this zoning amendment and to allow tasting rooms to operate in the Industrial Zone of Newport Beach. I also feel the revenue that this type of business would bring would be very very good for the City as well. Thank you for you consideration.

Samantha Received After Agenda Printed Ateugust 25, 2020 August 25, 2020, City Council agenda comments - Jim Mosher I Page of66 Item 15. Ordinance No. 2020-20: Non -Exclusive Commercial Solid Waste Franchises The staff report (page 15-3) that "some edits" have been made to the very lengthy attached Agreement compared to the version previously reviewed and adopted by the Council. What those changes may have been seems to be left as an exercise for the reader. That does not, to me, seem to promote efficient oversight on the part of the Council members who may have diligently reviewed the previous version. Item 16. Ordinance No. 2020-21: Zoning Code Amendment to Allow Wine Tasting Room Uses within the Industrial Zoning District (PA2020-042) In theory, this is just the introduction of an ordinance, and the real debate as to its merits would come two weeks (or more) from now, after its text has been published and the public and Council have had time to evaluate it. But of course, that's not how things are done in Newport Beach, so it appears the time to present arguments is now or never. The principal argument against adopting this measure is that, despite City staff's protestations to the contrary, amending the Zoning Code as proposed is, quite simply, incompatible with the IG land use designation approved by voters in 2006 (see Resolution No. 2006-77, page 5), and assigned by them to this (and to the best of my knowledge, only this) as the one small exclusively industrial area of the city. As the staff report correctly observes, the voter approved General Plan definition is "The IG designation is intended to provide for a wide range of moderate to low intensity industrial uses, such as light manufacturing and research and development, and limited ancillary commercial and office uses." Our General Plan does not define "ancillary uses," but the common understanding would be uses subordinate to and serving the primary uses. The non -voter -approved text and policies of the General Plan support that interpretation. They express a wish to improve the appearance of the area (Goal LU 5.5), but not to change its use. Indeed, Goal LU 6.7 identifies the IG area of West Newport Mesa as "providing opportunities for needed uses that cannot be accommodated elsewhere in Newport Beach"). Yet staff report says the amendment is intended to accommodate a particular and quite unexpected use: a wine tasting room. That use is not light manufacturing and research and development nor is it ancillary to them. It is, instead, a sales showroom for products manufactured elsewhere (apparently outside the city). And the audience for the products it is promoting is not primarily the true IG tenants, but rather an audience drawn from outside the IG district by advertising. Indeed, to avoid parking and traffic conflicts, we are told the wine tasting customers will be present primarily when the IG uses are closed and their tenants not there. A wine tasting room is most definitely not among the "needed uses that cannot be accommodated elsewhere in Newport Beach." August 25, 2020, City Council agenda comments - Jim Mosher Page 6 of 6 Moreover, as I tried without much success to inform the Planning Commission,' the way our Zoning Code is written, doing staff's bidding of defining "wine tasting rooms" as a new category of land use and designating them as an allowed use in the IG zoning district prevents their approval in any other zoning district — that is, anywhere else in the city.2 Indeed, the planner presenting this indicated there were other tasting rooms operating under the Type 2 ABC license elsewhere in the city. If they fit the new definition of "Wine Tasting Room" they will presumably become non -conforming and have to relocate to the IG area. The Council may legitimately question if the IG area of West Newport Mesa has panned out as hoped in 2006 (it was specifically expected to attract marine -serving industries that did not need to be located on the water). But before approving a new use that is neither light manufacturing nor research and development nor directly serving those uses, it needs to amend the definition of IG in the General Plan and through that, the people's vision for this area. Staff has not asked it to do that, and in view of the omission of that larger question I believe this ordinance has to be denied. Item 17. Resolution No. 2020-76: Appeal of Planning Commission's Decision of an AT&T Small Cell Installation (PA2019-111) The grounds for this appeal seem quite tenuous to me. However, appeals in Newport Beach are heard "de novo," so issues not raised by the appellant can be brought up and considered. An issue I tried to raise before the Planning Commission was why higher priority locations on commercial rooftops were not considered? My understanding is the City granted the master license for use of City street light poles to address situations in which higher priority locations were not available. But here, there is a commercial shopping center nearby. The response from AT&T's experts has been their small cell antennas work only on poles away from buildings. But as a physicist (as well as a licensed radio amateur), that seems a lame excuse to me. I hope the Council will ask why AT&T does not have small cell transmitters that work from rooftops — obviating the need to put them in very visible 6 -foot tall cans on top of street lights in places where commercial rooftops are available. ' The correspondence received by the Planning Commission on July 23, including mine, does not seem to have been shared with the Council. 2 This is because the Zoning Code allows the Community Development Director to add unlisted uses to a district if he or she deems them similar to the uses listed, but only if they are not listed as an allowed use in any other district.

Hello - My name is Cameron Crowner and a lifelong resident of Newport Beach. Even though I live on the east side of the bay, I have always had an affinity for West Newport and what it has by way of its businesses & residential character and personality. Whereas The Irvine Company governs most of the businesses as a landlord and dictate the look of their commercial product, the Westside has a combination of old -school product as well as relevant housing that fits today's demographics. And mixed in with that is zoning which allows for a variety of business uses and their respective owners. I support the change of the zoning ordinance that will allows "front of house" that blends to a business' "back of house" for industries like apparel, maritime, furniture, etc. by maintaining more of an industrial zone so a business' production and design can blend with it's up -zoned end product that the public can experience in a showroom, design center, tasting room, etc. This provides an all-inclusive and unique setting for Newport Beach's business community.
