ON THE ISSUES

Share via

* MEASURE S AND MEASURE T:

Wynn opposes Measure S “because ballot-box planning is divisive. I

think elections create divisiveness in the community, and we don’t need

more divisiveness.”

Measure S proposes to put before a citywide vote any development that

allows an increase of more than 100 peak-hour car trips or dwelling

units, or 40,000 square feet more than the general plan allowance.

He supports Measure T, which would add parts of the city’s traffic

phasing ordinance to the city charter and nullify Measure S if voters

approve both measures.

* ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORTS:

He said extending the flight limits on John Wayne Airport beyond 2005

is the city’s “first priority. I think we’ve got to try and get that

extended as soon as possible.”

Plans for an airport at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station

should be “put on the back burner to some extent,” he said.

He wants to start a dialogue with South County residents when the John

Wayne flight caps have been extended.

“Let’s see if we can’t get support for a smaller facility than an

international airport.”

* STATE OF THE BAY:

The city should look at ways to divert runoff into the sewer system

instead of dumping it into the bay, he said.

“Part of a solution might be using more reclaimed water. Maybe there

is a fit there.”

* ANNEXATION PROPOSALS:

Wynn supports annexation of Newport Coast, Santa Ana Heights and Bay

Knolls.

“The city has done a great job in getting consensus there.”

* REDEVELOPING OLDER AREAS:

He wants to look into redeveloping McFadden Square, Balboa Peninsula

and similar areas in need of renovation.

“There should probably be some attention paid to the infrastructure of

older parts of the city. We need to make sure that they are maintained

and stay attractive.”
