Supervisors to Hear Subdivision Appeal In Lakewood
The Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing next Tuesday on Lakewood Park Corporation's appeal of the Regional Planning Commission's rejection of its 750 acre subdivision map from Lakewood Boulevard west to the Union Pacific tracks between Carson Street and Candlewood Street. Werner Ruditi, Long Beach planning director, led the appeal and a substitute plan is being prepared by regional and Long Beach staff. The proposal faces opposition for street patterns not harmonizing with barriers and topography, and for lacking a community recreation park and a buffer between residential and industrial zones.
