Staff recommends Los Al Council increase density & low income housing Monday night!
Filed Under City Council Meetings, Planning & Zoning | 51 Comments

Ready for more traffic?
(12/20/2009, Los Alamitos) Are you ready for greater density and more low income housing in Los Alamitos?
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?
If you’d like to see increased traffic, worse parking problems, more low income residents, more demands on police and fire services, you’re going to love this report, that’s on a fast track to approval this Monday night!
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

(Los Alamitos, 10/28/2009) (Intro by Dave Emerson:) There’s been plenty of noise and discussion lately about the Los Alamitos Medical Center’s future development plans.

Those attendees have issued a very interesting report on that meeting. I was amazed to learn Read more
