The city officialy pulled the request for the variances and the licensing agreement is off the table. I grew up on this street and I never thought we could actually stop this encroachment on our neighborhood privacy. Thank you for staying with me through this fight because our ability to …

NO VARIANCES FOR 504 N. BROADWAY

 

 

10-20-2011 REDONDO BEACH PLANNING COMMISSION PASSED THE REQUEST FOR SET BACK VARIANCES TO THE PROPOSED EXPANSION DEVELOPMENT ON THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 504 N. BROADWAY. YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS ON BERYL STREET HAD VOICED THEIR OPPOSITION TO THESE SET BACK VARIANCES AS THEY ARE BASED PURELY ON "ECONOMIC HARDSHIP". REALLY?  THE PROPOSED SET BACK VARIANCE WOULD LEAVE 1 FOOT BETWEEN PROPERTY LINES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 203, 205, 207, 209, 211 AND BLOCK VIEWS. THIS WILL ALSO EFFECT PROPERTIES ON N.ELENA AND THOSE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE OWNERS OF THESE PROPERTIES FEEL THIS WOULD BE AN ENCROACHMENT ON THEIR SPACE AND PRIVACY. IT WAS CLEAR TO THESE RESIDENTS ON BERYL STREET AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WATCHED THE CABLE BROADCAST, THAT THIS DECISION BY OUR PLANNING COMMISSION WAS BASED SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT THIS PROPERTY BELONGS TO DIVE-N-SURF. THIS EXPANSION (INCLUDING THESE SET BACKS) WOULD EFFECT THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. IN ADDITION, THE CITY IS CURRENTLY CONDUCTING "CLOSED" NEGOTIATIONS WITH DIVE N SURF TO HAVE A " LICENSING AGREEMENT" FOR THE USE OF NORTH BROADWAY BETWEEN BERYL & CATALINA . THIS "LICENSING AGREEMENT" WOULD GIVE DIVE N SURF "RIGHTS" TO OUR PUBLIC STREET. WOULD THIS ALLOW DIVE-N-SURF TO CLOSE THE STREET AT THEIR CONVENIENCE FOR ANY NEEDS THEY SEE FIT ? THEY NEED THE STREET PARKING IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH PARKING REGULATIONS (PER SQ FOOTAGE OF THE PROPOSED EXPANSION) FOLKS IS THE CITY NOW SELLING OUR PUBLIC STREET RIGHT UNDER US ? STAND UP FOR WHAT IS OURS !! THE STREET BELONGS TO US ,THE TAX PAYERS, HOMEOWNERS, RENTERS . SHOULDN'T THE TAX PAYERS HAVE A VOTE ABOUT LICENSING OUR PUBLIC STREET?

 

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP OUR CITY FROM GRANTING THESE"ECONOMIC HARDSHIP" BUILDING VARIANCES  & LICENSING OUT OUR PUBLIC STREET TO THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT
504 N. BROADWAY REDONDO BEACH,CA 90277.

I have spent my mornings walking our neighborhood and talking to neighbors about the loss of privacy these setbacks would force upon us. We are currently digging into the details of those secret licensing agreements because our public streets belong to all of us rather than a single business. Keep looking over the plans and let me know if you spot any other corners they are trying to cut.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that my neighbors refuse to let our public streets and privacy be sacrificed for private gain. This momentum proves that the people living here will not stay quiet while our community character is dismantled.

THEY ARE TAKING OUR VIEW AND OUR PRIVACY. REDONDO NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND STOP BENDING THE RULES FOR THESE PEOPLE.

This will totally destroy the character of our street. Why is the city even considering letting them use public roads for private business?

Not fair to the residents. We live here and pay taxes too. Listen to the people who actually live in these houses.

1 foot? Are you kidding me. That is way too close to the property line. Keep the neighborhood livable please.

Ridiculous encroachment. My neighbors on Beryl are already dealing with enough traffic and congestion.
