The City of Lomita is about to approve a large five-story apartment building.
What does this mean for current residents?
It means there will be more congestion, and issues with streets, water, and sewage not upgraded to handle the increased capacity.
This will also set precedent for more large scale developments. That means potentially sky-high rental rates in the near future. Current residents may be forced out of their homes if developments of this scale will continue to be built throughout Lomita and neighboring cities such as Torrance.
Sign this petition if you do NOT approve of this!
You can also come and speak out at city hall:
Aug 14 @ 6:30 Planning commission
Aug 15 @ 6:30 City council meeting
If you are concerned about the city discarding our 100 year tradition of community without your input, let your representatives know at:
Mayor Mark Waronek, email: [email protected]
Mayor Pro-Tem Michael Savidan, email: [email protected]
Council member James Gazeley, email: [email protected]
Council member Henry Sanchez Jr, email: [email protected]
Council member Ben Traina, email: [email protected]

Too large a project for the area. 2-3 stories with a very specific traffic plan, maybe. But a 60 ft tall building in a small city, at one of the busiest intersection in the area is asinine. City Council's & planning commissions can be changed if they do not listen to the citizens. You work for us, not the other way around.
Can't imagine this being built-worst intersection in So.Bay! Children (from 1 and 2 bedroom apts.unaffordable) will WALK to Torrance schools? NEVER! Up Pennsylvania??? NEVER! - all the way to Hull/Adams/Howard WOod schools..NEVER! To Lomita Magnet Elem.? Can't imagine a parent agreeing to that! Turning East on Lomita from that proposed complex? Impossible! Walking to restaurants and shopping? Can't imagine;its not multi=use or mixed-use community!
I definitely disapprove of this project, we are already way to congested
There is already too much traffic in that area.
Please do not approve this complex. Health issues prevented me from attending the meeting but I adamantly oppose more congestion and traffic. The area is overly populated now.
I believe the traffic study is flawed.It is too big for the area.
Traffic there is already too congested.

I strongly object to the apartment building planned for Crenshaw Bl and Lomita Bl. The additional traffic from 200 units may seem minimal to you but it seems horrible given the current traffic congestion. Please do not approve this project! The community is watching and I have not seen any supporters on a Lomita community facebook page.
