Dear Honorable Mayor and Newport Beach City Council Members:
Received after Agenda Printed
April 29, 2025
Item No. 23
I love Newport Beach! I have lived here for more than 30 years and raised my family here. All three of my children went to Corona del Mar High School. All my family and friends are here.
I’m writing to support the proposed Irvine Company homes in Newport Center.
While I don’t support the housing mandate by the State of California, I do support how the City of Newport Beach has responded. I believe the Newport Center and Airport area are appropriate locations for our town to grow.
As I mentioned, my three children went to Corona del Mar High School, my two boys are back east in college and I want them to come back to Newport Beach. I worry about costs of housing and I believe increased housing, no matter the cost, will help balance the lack of housing throughout California.
I live close to Newport Center and love the energy of Fashion Island and Newport Center with all the hotels, office and medical buildings. I like the landscaped medians and large sidewalks; there are always people out walking. I think increasing housing in this area just makes sense.
Thanks for your service. I ask you to please support the planning proposed by the Irvine Company.
Best regards,
Kirsten Hall Daffron

Dear Mayor Joe and Council Members,
Please give positive consideration to the Irvine Company proposal for housing development at Fashion Island.
I object to the State of California imposing its will on Cities to build out housing based upon their demands.
Attached is my letter in support of the Irvine Co. proposal.

Dear Mayor Stapleton and City Council Members:
I am a proud resident of Corona del Mar. I have been a homeowner and lived in the Harbor View Hills community since the early 1970s. I have seen a lot of change in this community over the years. CdM has always been a beautiful, quaint, seaside town.
However today it is one of most sought after and exclusive communities in all of Southern California and for all of us who have owned homes since the 1970s, I say, "Hallelujah!"
Of course , some of this is due to the spectacular beach-side location, but I attribute much of it to the thoughtful development, investment, and re-investment in this area by the Irvine Company. I visit Fashion Island and CdM Plaza almost daily. I also love walking in Buck Gulley, Crystal Cove the beaches and downtown CdM.
While I'm not thrilled with the State mandating every city in the State build thousands of new homes, I get it. My daughter struggled to find reasonably priced housing. She bought a cute condo, but many of her friends are in the same boat. I believe providing more housing of every type will help to address our housing crisis.
When I learned the City of Newport Beach was required to provide more than 4,500 new homes, I thought, "Where the heck will they put that?" But looking closer, I believe creating more housing in the Newport Center area makes sense. We already have quality housing in that area, and I like the walkability and proximity to jobs and shopping.
I'd like to encourage the City Council to support the new housing proposed by the Irvine Company.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
/~~

Dear Mayor Joe and City Council members,
Please give positive consideration to the Irvine Co. planned housing project. It is my belief that 'The Villas' shall be the model for this development.
I have visited 'The Villas' on several occasions and found it to be an excellent high end property that is well maintained and a credit to our community.
It is my hope that this planned property will be a model for those to follow it at our Fashion Island. I further hope that the limited height of the planned structures will set the tone and height limits for the developments we know shall follow.
Esteemed leaders, don't let our city become a high rise community. I don't wish to lose our suburban community feeling.
Thanks for your consideration,
Ken Dufour

Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the Newport Beach City Council, I am writing as 50+ year homeowner and resident of Newport Beach to respectfully urge the City Council to approve the proposed developm~t agreement with the Irvine Company for the North Newport Center project .
. I
I love Newport Beach and I'm thrilled every day that I moved in 1974 from St. Paul, Minnesota to raise my family in Corona Del Mar/Newport Beach. In my retirement I've given back to th is great community serving numerous times on the Newport Harbor Exchange Club Board as President, and various other positions. Most importantly creating and supporting the Field of Honor at Castaways Park in Newport Beach.
The Irvine Company has a long history of thoughtful and high-quality development in Newport Beach, and the North Newport Center proposal reflects a continued commitment to enhancing our city's vitality, economy, and livability. This project promises to bring well-planned improvements that will support our community's long-term growth, including updated infrastructure, increased open space, and a mix of uses that complement the surrounding area.
I believe that entering into a development agreement provides the City with important tools to ensure consistency, tr~msparency, and mutual benefit throughout the buildout of this project . It . • ' also enables the City to secure public benefits such as traffic improvements, public amenities, and environmental enhancements.
I appreciate your careful consideration of this important decision and your dedication to the future of Newport Beach. Please vote to approve the development agreement' for North Newport Center and continue to foster a vibrant and balanced city for generations to come.
Thank you for your leadership and service.
Sincerely,
r~ --u ,~~
