Poll: Ayres or Error in Fountain Valley? It's Your Turn to Vote

Super Tuesday is not only a big day for the Republican presidential candidates, it's a big day for the Fountain Valley City Council, too.

This Tuesday, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the Civic Center Specific Plan Project, in which a proposed four-story, 124-room Ayres Hotel, 88 residential homes and 2,300 square feet of retail/storage space would replace the former SafeCo Insurance building and surrounding area at 17570 Brookhurst Street, right behind City Hall.

On Feb. 22, the City Planning Commission voted 3-2 to recommend that the plan be adopted by the City Council. But at the last two public hearings by the planning commission, nearly two dozen local residents voiced their displeasure with the project, claiming that it would significantly impact traffic congestion and increase safety concerns and parking issues that already exist in the neighborhoods off Los Alamos St.

So now it's the City Council's turn. Will the five councilmembers approve the project? Will they turn it down? Or will they postpone a vote pending further review?
