The future of our Montalvo neighborhood is in jeopardy! We are facing potential development along Victoria Ave, at the Bristol shopping center, and in the commercial and industrial zones on the South end of Grand Ave (near the post office, Carbide Saw, storage units, etc). Refinements to the General Plan will go before the City Council on
Monday, 9/12/2016 at 6pm
The MCC has poured over the section of the general plan which directly affects Montalvo, and boiled it down to the following issues:
–Building height limitations for any new construction in and around our neighborhood
-Protection of privacy for single family homes
-Protection of access to sunlight
-Protection against adult-oriented businesses
-Protection against hazardous waste, and/or excessive noise
The MCC Board has drafted a very specific letter to the City Council making clear their requests for height limitations, and other important issues. You can read their full letter here:
