Would you like to see all restrictions removed on group homes  in Los Alamitos, apparently including half-way houses?

Would you like to see zoning restrictions eased to “allow for Single Room Occupancy units?”  Would that lead to subdividing single family homes?

All of the above appear to be  included in the 127 page 2006 -2014 Housing Element that our city staff is recommending the City Council adopt at their Monday, 12/21 7 p.m. Regular Meeting, after conducting a Read more

(10/18/2009, Los Alamitos)  After reviewing this Monday’s Los Alamitos City Council agenda I’m still a bit mystified why a special Council meeting was needed Saturday afternoon.  Maybe somebody wanted to catch the end of the Dodger game?

Seriously, there are a few interesting items on the agendan, as Read more
