ALTAIR project was approved: The Passway to Elimination of the Mountain Lions in our Region

Last night approximately at 9:00 PM, December 12, 2017, the City Council of Temecula approved the ALTAIR application for development. The Council members accepted the plan without any changes. Mayor Edwards made the final decision and pushed the vote forward. She said that the Nature Center will not be acted on in the near future because there is no money or plan for it at this time. Both Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn and Councilman Jeff Comerchero agreed that they can do without the Nature Center. In spite of the efforts by the Mayor Pro Tem to eliminate the Nature Center from the proposed plan, Councilmember Michael Naggar adamantly resisted any changes to the proposal. It was retained in the final proposed construction plan.

The final vote for approval was 4 Yes (Edwards, Rahn, Comerchero, and Naggar) and one No (James Stewart). Environmental groups all opposed inclusion for the Nature Center in the final plan. Any opposition group has a 30-day window to file a court action for removal of the Nature Center from the plan.

What is your position? Are you willing to support a legal action to stop the obstruction of the only wildlife corridor in our region?
