Parks are created any number of ways, but there are many more ways parklands can be threatened. Local land use plans have the ability to help or harm our parks based on policies within them. For example, Yorba Linda is proposing to approve its Housing Element via a vote of the people.

RECEIPTS: 1. Measure KK changes the allowed use on a 9.15 acre site in the Bryant Ranch Shopping Center to high density (30 units per acre) and mixed use. See the ballot measure title. This measure has nothing to do with the … Read More

The City of Brea requested amending the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways to … Read More
