FINALLY!
I just got a phone call from a very high places source that offered me a sneak preview of a press release coming out later today or very early tomorrow morning.
This is about Ponte Vista at San Pedro and I hope you will visit www.pontevista.blogspot.com by sometime tomorrow to read the press release.
I also expect the press release to be mentioned in the real press with The South Bay Daily Breeze.
Naturally I will opine on what I have recently learned and you are all wecome to offer your opinions as well.
Something new is on the table and discussions have led to new studies planned for the 61.53-acre project.
The community spoke and the backers of Ponte Vista at San Pedro have listen and are offering a much smaller development than many of us had thought they would.
Now if only a certain institution of higher learning would look and listen to what is about to come out, perhaps they will finally understand that listening to all of the community creates opportunities to finally go forward.

Pointe Vista needs to 500 single family homes. There are already too many other projects that were completed based on traffic surveys that did not include projected future traffic from this abandoned military housing area.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Ingerson, for your comment.
ReplyDeleteThe current zoning for the Ponte Vista at San Pedro site allows for up to 429 single-family detached lots on lots of not less than 5,000 square feet in size, without any zoning change.
If a density bonus could be applied for land currently zoned R1, like Ponte Vista, up to 579 single family, detached houses could be built but the lots would be smaller than 5,000 square feet.
Most of the land is currently zoned R1 for lots where construction could take place.
The remaining land is O1 or OS1 for open space land. Some of that land cannot be built on as it is very steep hillside adjacent to the Defense Fuel Supply Point.
Any change in zoning requires a majority vote by members of the Los Angeles City Council.
As this new plan emerges and is studied, I will bring up more facts and information many of us learned when during "The Bob Bisno Years" which was a sad and foul period of history in our community.
Thank goodness that is done with and we can all move on, somewhere.
