We, the citizens of Laguna Niguel and South Orange County, desire that the 22 acres of open land adjacent to the LN City Hall be transformed into the Laguna Niguel Cultural Center (LNCC). The LNCC would consist of 1) Performing Arts Center/Theater 2) Town Center 3) World-Class Art Museum, and 4) NO MORE HOUSING.


Guardian Stewardship Foundation generously proposed to purchase the land from the County and develop a Town Center that would include the Theater, Museum, and walking paths amidst sculpture gardens. This is a rare opportunity to create an iconic destination that would define our city.


The OC Board of Supervisors rejected this proposal and instead chose one including 182,500 square feet of apartments so they could make more money. County staff wants to control the property, so they won't sell it and want to lease it instead. The county should be about serving the public, not profit or power. The supervisors should sell the land to someone who will build what the people really want.


The County of Orange failed to solicit the opinions and desires of the residents of Laguna Niguel before making this decision. Now is your chance to let them know what we want!

I just refreshed the page and hit over 1,000 signatures which is honestly a little overwhelming because I was just sitting in my kitchen thinking about how much we need that cultural space instead of more apartments. It is wild to think about how many of us keep looking at that empty land and wishing for something better than what the county has planned.

I see the counter ticking up and somehow it still feels like we are just getting started (honestly why is the county so obsessed with cramming apartments everywhere). If everyone reading this just grabs one neighbor to sign on then we will blow past this century mark in no time.

The 'City' does NOT 'need' anymore apt development. We worked hard to become a City to control what the County was approving in the 80's. Those working to keep open space & reasonable development predicted the parking & traffic issue we are now living in.

We already have a massive apartment construction project off of Crown Valley - a true eyesore. Laguna NIguel has no true city center - this would be an oppotrunity to bring unity to Laguna Niguel through a central point we can all be proud of.

We do not need anymore apartments given the two developments that are currently in the works - crown valley and 5. Our city needs a cultural center that will make a destination to visit - just like Dana Point has the harbor and laguna Beach a great downtown.

As a Theater Director--I for one feel it would unify Laguna Niguel into a community that celebrates the Arts and open up the children growing up in the surrounding areas and give young to old a place to go to experience and participate the magic of the arts.

I live right in the border of Laguna Niguel, and my Children go to school there. We do not need more apartments, this land should be used for the community. I want our community to be kept at the population it is, our schools are already overcrowded!!

I am very passionate about the arts and have a hard time getting to San Clemente or other areas in order to witness live performances. This would be a great cultural center that would allow Laguna Niguel a tighter community that it has never experienced.
