November City Council Election

Coyote Hills News!

Important City Council Election This November

We won the first battle with a 3-2 council decision to preserve Coyote Hills.  The second battle will be in the upcoming November Fullerton City Council election. Voters can choose two candidates to fill two open 4-year-term seats and one candidate for the 2-year position.  Voting for pro-Coyote Hills council candidates are also votes to preserve Coyote Hills rather than develop it with hundreds of new houses.  The newly elected Council will likely face a Chevron request to rezone and build on the 100-year-old oil property.  Chevron obviously wants you to elect council members whom will approve their giant housing and strip mall plans for the Coyote Hills.

Ask all candidates what their position is on saving versus developing Coyote Hills.  Please talk up the consequences of losing Coyote Hills to development with your friends and neighbors.  Destroying Coyote Hills will be a big loss not only for Fullerton but some 400,000 residents in nearby cities!  All of us will face thousands more cars per day, pay increased water costs to support the hundreds of new houses, and watch as classrooms become more crowded from the lack of school space.

Do not let the future be full of regret over wasting a key opportunity to save the last large natural open space in North Orange County.  Be sure to promote saving Coyote Hills with fellow voters by using the ballot box this November!  VOTE!

Hikes
Our Next Nature Hike

Saturday September 11th at 8 am.

Please join us for the next hike on Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at 8:00 am. We will meet at the Equestrian Center at Laguna Park, on the corner of Euclid and Lakeview. Wear comfortable shoes & bring water to drink. We hope you will join us for an informative and enjoyable outdoor excursion along the trails with spectacular views.

As the days shorten, we return to hiking in the morning.  Native buckwheat flowers dry to a rusty red, and the prickly pear cactus fruit ripens.  The coastal sage scrub habitat begins to break its summertime dormancy in September.

Fullerton City Council Vote
Council shoots down Coyote Hills development
BY ADAM TOWNSEND
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
 
FULLERTON - The City Council voted 3-2 Tuesday night to deny a massive, controversial development proposal by Chevron-owned Pacific Coast Homes.
Councilman Richard Jones and Mayor Don Bankhead voted in favor of the developer while council members Pam Keller, Shawn Nelson and Sharon Quirk-Silva voted to deny the proposal.
"We're disappointed in the decision," said Pacific Coast Homes Project Manager Jim Pugliese. "We will be determining what our options are, and when we know what our options are, we'll be letting folks know."
Quirk-Silva and Keller said they were opposed to the development because they wanted to explore more options to make it into park land. Nelson said he was in favor of Chevron's right to develop, but didn't like the specifics of the development agreement.
Some 250 opponents and proponents of the 760-home West Coyote Hills development spoke out at the meeting.
The opponents were largely from the group Friends of Coyote Hills, which wants to find a way to purchase the 510-acre property as park land. Environmental concerns are tantamount to this group. Other opposition included nearby property owners more concerned with the direct impacts of construction to their property.
The proponents of the project included representatives of business groups such as the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce and the Orange County Business Council and a few private property rights advocates.
The majority of supporters, however, were residents who said they were satisfied with the developer's compromises that would allow access to a 72-acre Robert E. Ward Nature Preserve and 10 miles of trails.
