Because the state says La Cañada Flintridge has not complied with its housing rules, a group of developers might get to bypass city planners and build an even bigger project than the one they originally proposed.
On the website, petitioners raised concerns over the project’s potential effects on traffic and density. Most argued that the location simply wasn’t suitable for multifamily housing.
The developers focused on public outreach with three hearings totaling 13 hours and private conversations with City Council members. Weyand said he spoke with business owners surrounding the project, all of whom supported the development privately, but wouldn’t support it publicly for fear of being boycotted by residents.The trio felt optimistic, but the vibe was short-lived. Two months later, the City Council unanimously voted down the project 4 to 0.
She added that the council’s stated reason for denying the project was that it would disturb the village-like atmosphere of the downtown corridor.A drive down Foothill Boulevard, the city’s main commercial stretch, showcases a bit of local charm. There is a Pilates studio, smoothie shop, bookstore, bar, trading card store and a well-reviewed fried chicken joint. But cars far outnumber the people on foot.
The initiative dates to 1967 when Gov. Ronald Reagan signed a housing law that required local governments to plan “for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community.”
