Our community members and supporters made history on Wednesday! Our VOICE was heard by City Council, who voted 12-1 to uphold the PLUM committee recommendation. They declared the proposed Home Depot in Sunland-Tujunga a "Project." Councilmember Wendy Greuel says, the City Council is sending a message to them as well as all businesses in Los Angeles that "they must follow the rules." We are proud of the members of the City Council who voted to uphold the recommendation of the Zoning Administrator and PLUM committee after weighing all of the evidence.
The "Project" determination means our community will now be involved in every step of Home Depot's process. Our Specific Plan is the guiding ordinance for improvement to our only commercial corridor and is unique to Sunland-Tujunga. All impacts of this "Project" on our community must now be considered.
The Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council (STNC) is committed to continually improve the quality of life in our community. This historic vote by the City Council further solidifies that a united community VOICE makes a difference. We will continue to move forward with our efforts to insure the laws of our City are followed.
This issue has received a great deal of media coverage and will probably continue over the next few days. Thank you to Councilmember Wendy Greuel for her fire and dedication regarding this issue on behalf of our community. And... a special thank you to all our community members and supporters across the city who stand with us.
