Dear Neighbor,
Update from City Council meeting on March 11, 2008: The majority of our board and other concerned residents spoke in favor of examining all seven proposals for the Brookhurst Triangle, a 13.9 acre site currently owned by our city Redevelopment Agency. The agenda listed only one developer, JPI California Development. The City Council wisely chose to continue the decision for two weeks to display the seven proposals in the lobby of City Hall and to create a complete presentation of all seven proposals at the next City Council meeting.
Next Tuesday, March 25, 2008, there is a City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. at 11300 Stanford Avenue, at which time a decision will be made regarding the Brookhurst Triangle. It is important for you to attend this meeting! The developer and project chosen at this meeting will be granted an exclusive negotiating agreement for three months to submit final plans for approval by the City Council. There will be an opportunity for residents to question and comment after the presentation of all seven development projects. This is your opportunity to have a say in what you want built at the Brookhurst Triangle - What kind of density is suitable for the site? Do we want a mixture of residential and retail? Do we want a park? We hope to see you at this meeting in order to let our elected City Council know what we want!
Russ McDonald has created a ballot initiative in order for the voters to decide whether fireworks sales and use in our city should continue or not. On 3/11/08 the "Notice of Intent to Circulate the Petition" was formally announced at City Council. Russ needs volunteers to collect the thousands of signatures needed to qualify. If you would like more information regarding how to sign the petition or to volunteer, please contact Russ McDonald at 714-636-6267 or e-mail him at gatornavy1@earthlink.net
