The council finally reversed their position last night after months of ignoring the facts regarding our neighborhood zoning. I am relieved that my home and our community standards are being protected. Let us stay sharp and continue monitoring these meetings to ensure they stay true to this commitment.

CULVER CITY RESIDENTS -- A RESOLUTION TO NO LONGER ENDORSE A NEGLIGENT CITY COUNCIL.
Final supporters
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-R1
A RESOLUTION OF CULVER CITY RESIDENTS TO NO LONGER ENDORSE A NEGLIGENT CITY COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, the City Council of Culver City ("Council") has failed to engage in an open and honest public debate about their proposal to remove R-1 single family zoning; and,
WHEREAS, the Council has repeatedly used an incendiary argument of racism and exclusionary zoning as justification for their proposed radical zoning ordinance change; and,
WHEREAS, the Council has manipulated or misunderstood the Euclid vs. Ambler 1926 Supreme Court case findings as The Court’s opinion held the Ambler Realty Company was not allowed to overdevelop the City of Euclid; and,
WHEREAS, the Council has ignored resident input that runs contrary to their proposal to radically change R-1 zoning; and,
WHEREAS, the Council has failed to demonstrate the case to homeowners that changing R-1 zoning would actually achieve the stated goals of affordable housing; and,
WHEREAS, the Council has ignored discussion and evidence from its own Planning Department and Planning Committees that current zoning ordinances already allow Culver City to meet the future housing goals determined by the State.
NOW, THEREFORE, a resident of Culver City, I, the undersigned, DO RESOLVE as follows:
(A) No longer shall I endorse a Council that mistakes working for the residents with running the City from their own political agendas;
(B) No longer shall I endorse a Council that ridicules free thinking and critical thought in meetings and on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and other forums;
(C) No longer shall I endorse a Council that financially and ideologically supports the work of cherry-picked university professors, urban planners, and political action groups that already agree to Council positions prior to any public debate;
(D) No longer shall I endorse a Council that attempts to bully its way into the hearts and minds of residents with loaded language, accusatory statements, willful ignorance, and a disregard for the will of the people; and
(E) No longer shall I endorse a Council that in the name of social justice creates a divisive environment of propaganda, manipulation, name calling, and logical fallacies, which serves to obstruct the actual and necessary hard work of social justice.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS JUNE 25 DAY OF 2021.
Endorsed by THE UNDERSIGNED RESIDENTS.

I have been spending my evenings reviewing the zoning documents again and the disconnect between our planning staff and the current council is even deeper than I first realized. It is clear that our concerns about real housing goals are being pushed aside for political optics while our actual neighborhood needs go ignored.

Seeing this level of support confirms that my neighbors feel the same frustration I do about being ignored at City Hall. The momentum behind this resolution proves that we refuse to let our community character be dismantled without a real fight.

Council Majority Fisch, Lee and McMorrin are not representing Culver Citizens, they are promoting their political careers and promoting gentrification and dislocation of our community under the cloak of progressive rhetoric.
I was impressed by the observations, comments and arguments presented by my fellow CC residents at the Council sessions. I cannot understand why the three members did not address these concerns. Why? I have to think there is a key factor that has not been disclosed. We voters are not idiots- we deserve an explanation.
This isn’t the only area fighting tooth and nail to keep R-1. This is a federal plan. Read the American Jobs Act, research HUD. Money for cities who eliminate R-1. Local governance is being upended by a federal agenda.
It is a horrible decision to rezone our lots! It doesn’t help the homeless people! Will only cause the new properties to raise and the traffic to become unbearable! CC needs to keep our small town charm that we all love! One of the reasons I moved here 1972!
Long Overdue. Needs a followup recall, or at least an intense effort to toss them out in upcoming elections. The people either don’t pay attention to local elections or have no sense of whom they are voting for (I was guilty of that for years). This council’s actions are so egregious that hopefully this will change!
No more social experiments with our quality of life.
Remove this unethical Culver city council and the city planning employees

I am tired of a majority of this council not listening to its constituents and continually advancing race driven agendas that do not pertain to the city of Culver City.
