Council members initially approved the project last year, despite a push by some against the much-disputed 2525 N. Main St. apartments in the city’s north-end Park Santiago neighborhood.
The same appeals court previously found the county’s environmental documents for the project failed to set standards for an evacuation plan; under-calculated water needs; and had an inaccurate map of protected land.
Court declares that county supervisors failed to comply with environmental laws when they approved the Saddle Crest development.
Supervisors’ action brings jail expansion a step closer. Irvine officials continue voicing concerns.
The Santa Margarita Water District board will decide whether to approve a project that would import water from the eastern desert.
The council’s ethics committee forwarded the proposal, which would increase transparency throughout city government.
City Council is scheduled to vote tonight on settling suit filed
by Friends of the Lacy Historic Neighborhood that aims to save old
homes in the city’s downtown core from demolition.
