Public Comment for Items Not on the Agenda
Agency member Rose recused himself from the meeting as he owns a property in the
area to be discussed by the speakers.
The following members of the audience addressed the Agency:
John Wacker, Culver Alliance, reported that the Citizens Action Committee (CAC)
recommended that city government incorporate community involvement, and felt
community inclusion was key to successful outcome. Three hundred additional
signatures were submitted to the 1,000-signature petition previously submitted opposing
the proposed Champion Development.
Mitch Means observed that while the Sepulveda project was not on the agenda, many
concerns of that project applied to general issues being discussed such as density,
traffic, and air quality.
Peter Messinger, The Aquarium, asserted that the project was a lesson in how not to
redevelop the area and the area should be handled like the downtown project.
Bonnie Wacker, Culver Alliance, noted that the Champion project had been a learning
experience for everyone, and suggested starting over to devise a new workable plan for
the area with community involvement from the outset. She felt that a plan was needed to
carry the community forward, and that future development projects needed to improve
the quality of life, not stretch density limits.
Ann Treleven expressed concern that the public was unable to comment on shade, and
shadow studies at the last commission meeting, and she asserted that many residents
would be greatly impacted at certain times of the year. She urged the Agency to heed
recommendations that a land use study and demographics of the City be done.
Chris Georges, Harvey Capital, representing the property owners from Comp USA on
Jefferson Boulevard, indicated the Agency would have significant hurdles for the project
as they had no intention of selling for the proposed redevelopment project, and
Goodyear had already retained legal counsel to fight the proposed development. He
trusted that the Council would take into consideration the desires of the citizens and
voters in Culver City, and he was surprised and pleased with the findings of the CAC.
Agency member Rose rejoined the meeting.
