Body

At the August 27, 2021 , pursuant to Resolution No. 2020-245, the School Community Relations Committee (“SCRC”) received information regarding the City’s application to change the land use of the City-owned property at 1325 Sunset Drive (also referred to as 5275 Sunset Drive), from Religious/ Institutional to Public Buildings and Lands for the purpose of constructing a Fire House and park (“Fire House 4 project”).

 

The SCRC discussed the Fire House 4 project and its close proximity to Sunset Elementary School, with some board members expressing concern about the traffic congestion along Sunset Drive, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up times.
