Dear Chairwoman Brownsey and Commissioners,
Letter Paragraph*
I am submitting this letter to express my support for the proposed City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Plan Amendment that would allow for the development of the Magnolia Tank Farm. My family values our parks, open areas, and our coastline. We pay close attention to what happens in our city and county, and we seek to ensure that coastal development complements the landscape, increases coastal access, and benefits a growing community. This project would transform an area that once housed oil tanks to provide much needed housing, low-cost accommodations, parks and amenities, and environment-focused educational programs. As such, we believe the Magnolia Tank Farm would positively contribute to the region. I wanted to share a few reasons why I support this project. Housing and low-cost accommodations: The state is facing an ongoing housing crisis. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment requires the construction of 13,368 new units within Huntington Beach alone - 180,000 countywide. The housing crisis is only getting worse and there is not unlimited land on which to build. In addition to housing, the project would also ensure the availability of low cost, high occupancy rooms in the hotel for middle-to-low-income visitors, increasing coastal access considerably. Coastal Amenities and local economic benefits: I welcome the residential and public amenities this project would provide, including Magnolia Park, an overlook trail, and much-needed additional parking. Concerning the local economy, the project would generate millions of dollars in tax revenue for the city, it would create hundreds of permanent jobs, and it would generate millions of dollars in economic output. Educational programs: I am also in support of the environmental education component that is central to the project. This includes a wetlands interpretive program that would be offered to the public, as well as to disadvantaged communities, at no cost through partnerships with local school districts and NGOs. We are well aware of the threat of sea level rise. However, we have our full faith in the Orange County Flood Control District, which maintains the flood control infrastructure. These channels would protect this project in addition to the existing regional infrastructure including roads, public facilities, schools, libraries, and thousands of residences, including my own. The Magnolia Tank Farm would transform this area for the better by creating much needed housing and improving access and amenities that complement our coastline. This project is a model for all other coastal development. I urge your support.
Sincerely,
Hidden
