Neighborhocl Revitalization Committee (NRC)
Dear Staff, CAP members and Council,
I appreciate the efforts and the investment that everyone has put into the
revitalization efforts. The process and the outreach has been thorough and
everyone is trying to improve our quality of life for the residents,
property owners, business owners and visitors. I thank you all for the
patience you
show to residents that don't understand or engage in the process in these
revitalization efforts.
All of us should be trying to improve the area to make it more enjoyable for
everyone and not hang on to the past . I support everything that has been
done to date by the staff, CAP, consultants and the revitalization committee
to find solutions to improve all aspects of the Village and the surrounding
areas. We need to take the long view and evaluate all the options and come
up with reasonable, economic and realistic solutions.
Everyone must listen to all aspects of the revitalization and make informed
decisions. So please take the petition for the RPPP as the approval of the
silent majority that wants to explore our options with the coastal
commission then work on all the alternatives and finally create a viable
RPPP for the area. We understand there will be changes and that the process
is not thru yet but don't just listen to vocal minority that won't even
communicate what their objections are to the RPPP. Also everyone should know
this was resident driven and just evaluated and recommended by the
consultant as a reasonable approach for the residents immediately adjacent
to the village. And if the revitalization effort is successful, especially
with ExplorOcean and the Balboa Theatre, parking will become more difficult
in the West Balboa Village residential area.
