Great work being done in Redondo Beach! Our Neighborhood Voices Education
You made a difference! Your emails and correspondence worked.
Last night, in a 5-0 vote, the Redondo Beach City Council separated the decision on the FAR (Floor to Area Ratio) for the Beach Cities Health District property from the General Plan so they will not be bundled together on the November ballot. A decision on the FAR will come sometime after November for voters to decide.
You may recall we alerted you to the possibility that the City Council would vote to put the items together in an all or nothing ballot item. The possibility of a 1.25 FAR would mean that the surrounding residential areas in Redondo Beach and Torrance and the city would be bombarded by traffic, insane density, and fire department calls. The BCHD is planning to build an independent living residential facility with a minimum of 240 units. It will be one of the largest developments in Redondo Beach's history. Now, residents will at least have a say on the size of what goes in to this public property.
Why does this matter to you? Because if we can put pressure on local and state officials by writing to them, it shows that people are active and aware of what is happening in their communities. They don't want to be impacted by bad decisions made by state officials hundreds of miles away in Sacramento, or by a Virginia-based corporation, as is the case here.
But all of this takes money and organization, two things we need to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November 2028. Please donate here to make this happen!: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-our-neighborhood-voices-mission
And don't forget to send us similar projects in your community so we can continue to make a difference.
Thank you for all of your efforts!
