Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood CouncilResolution: JCC Homes Project on North Gaffey Whereas there have been repeated complaints about noxious odors emanating from the Kinder Morgan Facility on North Gaffey from nearby residents; Whereas the South Coast Air Quality Management District has cited Kinder-Morgan for air quality violations resulting from these noxious emission; Whereas Kinder-Morgan, deciding to sell the property, has entered into escrow with JCC Homes for its purchase; and Whereas JCC Homes proposed the construction of 135 detached homes on the site after Kinder Morgan has improved it to residential environmental standards, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council supports this proposed use of the Kinder Morgan site for the development and construction of up to 135 detached homes. HOWEVER, the Council supports the project plan with the condition that the builder implement its proposal to construct a new street connecting Gatun and Capitol streets and to close Gatun street on the west at Cabrillo Street, requiring an exchange of property with the adjoining park. This should be done to improve access to and from the development site, and reduce traffic through the adjacent neighborhood. Our approval is also subject to later review based on the results of the required environmental impact statement, and JCC Homes adherence to remediation requirements. FURTHERMORE, our approval is subject to JCC Homes adherence to its own stated commitment to operate Highlands Park with input from the adjacent neighborhood, in conjunction with the “street for park” land exchange. FURTHERMORE, the proposed density for this project should be be considered normative for other proposed developments in the northwest San Pedro area. We also expect JCC Homes to return to the Council for its input and concurrence periodically as the architectural, landscaping, CC&Rs and related park plans are developed, and as the environmental review process goes forward. The Motion was passed by the following votes: Yes votes from John Greenwood, Diana Nave, Andrea Adleman, Guillermo Villigran, Philip Nicolay, Carlos Garcia, Margaret Moilov, Patricia Polcuch, Capt. George Thompson, John Vladovich and Sanni Wehbe. No votes from Jody James and Chris Wickers. Ray Patricio abstained. ------------------------------------------Return to RESOLUTIONS. JOIN US!
