Hi everyone,

I wanted to remind all those that have recently joined our VDONAC support group to be sure to send letters opposing Condos/Apts at the McCowans site, to the following city officials. I will attach a generic letter that you can simply sign and send in, or you can write your own letter. It is very important to keep the City Council aware that we are determined to prevent Mr. Rosenthal from overdeveloping our neighborhood.

1. Hon. Janice Hahn
Councilwoman, District 15
Harbor District Office
638 S. Beacon St. Room 552
San Pedro, CA 90731
e-mail: janice.hahn@lacity.org

2. Hon. S. Gail Goldberg
Director, Los Angeles Dept. of City Planning
200 N. Spring Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Those of you that will not be able to attend the Public Hearing on March 18, 4:30 PM at the Harbor Commission Board Room, 2nd floor, 425 S. Palos Verdes Street, San Pedro, can write your testimony about how this project will affect you and your property values. Please insist Rosenthal build R1, single-family homes that conform with the surrounding properties.

Reference Case # APCH-2008-358-ZC . Those letters go to :

Commission Secretariat (213) 978-1300
200 North Spring St. Room 532
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Thanks again for your continued support. Please forward this information to any neighbors or friends that might be interested.

Dear Councilwoman Janice Hahn,

I am a San Pedro resident, opposed to the building of condominiums, at the old McCowan’s Market location, on 20th Street. This area is a traditional, single-family home neighborhood. Condos would destroy our quiet neighborhood, and devalue our properties. I hope you will be an advocate for us and support our neighborhood in opposing condos on 20th Street.

At the Planning Commission's meeting on March 18, the Q Classification Condition will be debated. Its approval would restrict development on the three lots currently zoned C1-1XL, to allow for only residential houses built to conform to the surrounding area, with consists overwhelmingly of single-family, detached houses, one per lot of not less than 5,000 square feet in area.
