Response to City Attorney’s 5/14 update

Recently, the City Attorney provided misleading guidance regarding the previously proposed Terraces project and if it could be resurrected if Measure L is defeated.  Our attorney responded to that letter (previously discussed here).

On 5/14 she provided an updated summary, but there were no substantial differences and all of the errors in reasoning for the previous summary still remained.

Supporters of the “Homes at Deer Hill” proposal attempt to scare voters into believing that a “No” vote on Proposition L will result in the Terraces project with 315 apartments on the sensitive parcel between Deer Hill Road, Pleasant Hill Road and Highway 24. The truth, however, is that the apartment project has never been approved; and it would face the same extreme obstacles as before if the developer elects to resurrect it — including but not limited to the People’s referendum power.
