NO on L: The campaign against Pacifica’s Measure L

South Florida developer Roy Donahue Peebles has said on several public occasions and in print that his "vision" for "the future of Pacifica" is Pebble Beach.

Pebble Beach has no City Council, no representatives, and no democracy. Pebble Beach is a private corporation. It has no public government at all; it is a wholly-owned private fiefdom. Pebble Beach has no citizens, only homeowner's association members and employees.

During March 2005 Melissa Hippard, Lennie Roberts, & myself met with R. Donahue Peebles of the Peebles Atlantic Corporation at the Conservation Center in Palo Alto. The subject of the meeting was a proposed development by Mr. Peebles of the landmark quarry in Rockaway Beach; the quarry is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean & SR 1.

For those curious about the status of the previous "Pacifica Village Center" project, Measure E, which was defeated (3,511 / 33.8% Yes votes ...... 6,867 / 66.2% No votes).

The City has received a development proposal for the Quarry site from the Trammell Crow Company to create the "Pacifica Village Center," a development of up to 315 residential units on the Quarry site as part of a mixed-use development project.

For historical reference, attached is the June 2002 FINAL Environmental Impact Report for the Trammel Crow "Pacifica Village Center" project in the Quarry. The draft version is also availble and has more background information.

Attached is the April 2002 DRAFT Environmental Imact Report (warning! big file!) for the Trammel Crow "Pacifica Village Center" project.
