The battle is not over regarding this property. The Register article only shows that this article that blew the lid off of this dirty deal has swayed the owners into perhaps doing what is right for the community instead of ruining Raymond Hills.
Build it and they will come ladies and gentlemen and believe they will come. Low income housing is headed to Raymond Hills. Mayor Fitzgerald says development plans don’t exist for this location but yet a public hearing regarding rezoning this location to do just that made the paper.
Sources to the Fullerton Informer indicate that the new owner of the property on Chapman and Raymond may have prevailed against the current tenants in vacating their leases and the property is eventually slated to become a massive high rise development with a major component of low income housing. Welcome your new neighbors with open arms ladies and gentlemen and there will be lots of them. Here is a slide from last night’s planning commission hearing and you will notice the big pinkish rectangle on the right. Patti’s cakes and Polly’s are toast folks.
For years this center’s occupants were not allowed to expand their businesses, potential new additional tenants were turned away and all while this place was intentionally run into the ground for the moment that they are still waiting for. Last night the planning commission unveiled that moment again after it was delayed two years ago by the pressure we applied to the city council who was meeting in the library room with no live coverage.-
We were out in front of this mess years ago and they are trying to resurrect this scam again. Watch Jennifer Fitzgerald tell us no plans exist as plans exist, as she calls me a liar and insults all your intelligence with the zoning change map right in front of your eyes.
Yet when asked to remove this location from the Revised DCCSP, she doubles down.
Yes the plans to rezone the property are already written, you are looking at them in the photo above, the tenants are already being run out and the goal will be high density section 8 housing.
Nelson operatives Fitzgerald and her running mate phony conservative Larry Bennett that ran the anti recall campaign a few years back and was on the police union ticket last time around is in on this scam too. Watch as he is called on out his involvement. After all he is on the planning commission and is pro development.
All this is carefully being laid out behind your backs and will go down quickly if the planning commission and council approves the biggest sellout to the developers in Fullerton’s history that our city manager Joe Felz is trying to repackage, THE DCCSP. What you see below will be encompassing 1000’s of acres of Fullerton.
THIS IS THE NEW FACE OF FULLERTON FOLKS RIGHT HERE
The Harbor Gateway-80 units per acre-this is what is coming to Polly’s and a neighborhood near you.
The site at the corner of Chapman and Raymond will could bring up to 500 more housing units which would bring in 50 million in developer fees to the city. That is what is at work here. Here are those who are at work here.
The entire property will be packem’ and stackem’ high rise high density housing just the way the at large appointee that the Vice President of Curt Pringle and associates Jennifer Fitzgerald
Fullerton’s queen of conflict of interest-Hands out raises to police and fire like lolipops on Halloween
moved to appoint, the S.C.A.G. operative on the Fullerton Planning Commission Ms. May an Johnson
In case you don’t know, these two don’t work for us, they work for the developers and the social engineers and boy do they have plans to transform the entire city into Agenda 21 stackem’ and packem’ high rise housing. We just dodged the College Town deal recently and now they are resurrecting the huge DCCSP plan.
You see the city is out of money because of all of the establishment cronies that have bled us dry for decades with their lavish salaries, pensions,car allowances, medical, dental, vision plans and perks while hiding behind a thin political veneer comprised of a bizarre combination of liberal populism hybridized with phony conservatism that has put the residents to sleep while leaving the city’s infrastructure (roads, sewers, parks, public restrooms) and finances in utter ruin. Folks the trusted names in Fullerton politics have been screwing you all over for decades. Stop going along with them and being their sycophants.
Recently reality didn’t stop the city council from going millions into the red for Police and Fire raises and benefit increases. They have done this because they want their endorsements for the upcoming election and they anticipate getting upwards of 12-15 thousand dollars per unit developed to pay for the out of control city hall gravy train while they put you to work on Love Fullerton day washing police cars, cleaning up school buildings, government buildings and parks that our tax money was supposed to pay for and then putting you to sleep with firework shows, parades, and backpack giveaways. See how they play this game? You sit back and vote for these people that are endorsed by the police and fire unions, you think you are supporting a strong community when in fact, the greed of these factions is sucking the taxpayers dry with selling Fullerton off to development behind your backs as the only way out. I could go on and on. This website documents years of this train of abuses and the inaction and complicity of those who you would never think have a hand in this.
Here is Barry Levinson last night calling attention to huge problems with this proposal.
The only way out of this mess is to vote them out in November. Jennifer Fitzgerald and Jan Flory need to go. I have a vested interest in what is best for our community and I am not popular with the establishment sycophants that want to ruin Fullerton for that very reason.
You can watch Ms. Shanfiel- the chair of the planning commission explain what happened in 2014. This got the ball rolling on the DCCSP mess and the planning commissioners from 2014 appear to be totally incompetent or corrupt.
She admits in no uncertain terms they were given misinformation and a non existent time constraint. You could say they were lied to. It sure appears that way to me. Clink the video below and 10 seconds in, you will not believe what you will hear.
You can watch how the city staff that tried to ram the biggest threat to our quality of life in Fullerton’s history through in 2014. They are either corrupt or incompetent when what they fed this load to the planning commission to get them to vote to pass the DCCSP which was clearly based on inaccurate information 2 years ago. Looks like they voted to pass the biggest threat to Fullerton’s future without even vetting it, understanding it, and under what appears to be a series of misrepresentations and duress. Read that rubber stamp hacks-listen to this-
And just to remind all of you in the audience on 4-13-16, Kathleen Shanfeild said “…… I wish we would have had more time when we talked about this before…. “
NO KATHLEEN, YOU MEAN WHEN YOU, KATHLEEN ALONG WITH GAMBINO, JOHNSON AND THE GUY THAT HATES THE CARS, MR SILBER, VOTED TO PASS THE DCCSP WHILE PENDERGRAFT MISSED THE MEETING AND NEVER ONCE SAID BOO ABOUT IT-YOU VOTED FOR THIS AND IT PASSED-YOU DID MUCH MORE THAN JUST TALK ABOUT IT, YOU PASSED IT AND YOU ALMOST HANDED THE DESTRUCTION OF FULLERTON UP ON A SILVER PLATTER TO JOE FELZ AND IT ALMOST PASSED THE COUNCIL.
I urge you all to take a hard look at what you take for granted right now because it is in jeopardy. We need real leaders, not phonies and ignorant rubber stamp hacks that will allow Fullerton to be sold out to the highest bidder and hoodwink you with dog and pony shows just to get elected like we have now. The plans in the works could add 100,000 more people to Fullerton in the next ten years almost doubling the population as we already struggle to maneuver our cars in traffic in a park poor city with busted up roads and water mains. Enough is enough.
Stay vigilant Fullerton.
I stand up for the residents even when no one is looking folks. Last night was no exception.
JOE IMBRIANO 4 FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL
#1 by Anotherview on April 15, 2016 - 6:31 pm
Joe and Barry sure like to embellish on the truth. Where does it say anything about Section 8 housing? This is typical of your messages using scare tactics to get peoples attention. You continue to stretch the truth. Your style of politics is definitely what I DON’T want in our City. Very scary. I’m not going to get into a war of words with you on this blog, time is way too precious. (BTW, do you guys have a real job?) Just letting others know that a lot of what you spew is complete nonsense. The bullying, disrespect, grand standing and rude behavior at PC and Council meetings is appalling. While you tell others that they should be ashamed of themselves, have you looked in the mirror lately? YOU should be ashamed of yourself. You may have a group of followers at these meetings, but it is a VERY small representation of our City population. And that’s why you didn’t get elected the last time you ran, Barry. Take a clue, get over it.
#2 by Joe Imbriano on April 15, 2016 - 9:05 pm
Nice try. We expose the truth that our corrupt leaders are hiding from the residents. What is being stretched is contained your aforementioned comments.
The behavior at council is warranted and is readily available for anyone to see on my you tube channel as well as the city site. We will let the voters decide who should be ashamed of themselves in November.
What you think is small now could be huge tomorrow. Welcome to the internet.
#3 by Anonymous on April 16, 2016 - 8:11 am
Joe is a leader and I have no problems with the ways in which he stands up against corruption. He does not disrespect, bully, grandstand or speak rudely to council. Show me one example of that. Go ahead. The meetings are recorded. Do you perhaps work for the Observer? Do you see what they say about people who tell the truth? Joe tells the truth and what you have said is just a dirty way to muddy the waters in attempts to discredit his message. Why are you here? I will tell you why. You are here because you are afraid of the information getting out and it is far too late for that.
#4 by Fullerton Lover on April 16, 2016 - 1:01 pm
I most certainly second that sentiment about Joe Imbriano being a gentleman whom I’d trust.
#5 by Anotherview on April 16, 2016 - 8:03 pm
Sooo, no answer to my question on WHERE does it say anything specifically about “Section 8” housing??? Interesting that Anonymous states how the “Observer talks about people who tell the truth”…the folks on this blog do the same thing!!! And no, I do not work for the Observer. I put the content of the Observer on the same level as the content of this blog. Bottom line, anyone who disagrees with you becomes a target. To answer the question as to why I’m on this site…..the same thing that you guys talk about…..free speech. I guess you don’t like it when people aren’t praising you and hanging on your every word. Your style is to intimidate people. Time to share with the public there are other views.
#6 by Joe Imbriano on April 16, 2016 - 9:16 pm
Free speech is abundant on this site. You are not censored. Watch the meeting and listen to Halluza talk about what housing is going in where. Its all there.
#7 by Anotherview on April 16, 2016 - 11:14 pm
I did watch the meeting and no mention of Section 8 housing.
#8 by Joe Imbriano on April 17, 2016 - 10:19 am
She referred to it as “affordable” housing.
#9 by Anotherview on April 18, 2016 - 8:12 am
Joe, you need to get educated on what affordable housing is today. It is NOT Section 8 housing. Big difference. In a near future City Council mtg,, I’ll share with the public what affordable housing looks like today. You’re way off base and using typical scare tactics. Section 8 is YOUR translation of affordable housing. And it is incorrect.
#10 by Joe Imbriano on April 18, 2016 - 9:11 am
Until Ms. Halluza publicly goes on record and specifies that this project is not going to be the Section 8 housing capital of Fullerton, the story stands. The DCCSP even in the proposed amended form, is wide open for a voucher party. Please note how careful she is when uses the word “affordable housing”. There are three types. Guess what will go in down the street from the tracks and the topless joints. Public, Section 202 or Section 8? Unless we call them out, get out in front and beat this thing back, you are gonna have a nightmare on your hands Southeast Fullerton. They almost rammed a homeless shelter in next to low income housing, and right next a Title 1 elementary school so Shawn Nelsons buddy Cameron Irons could make 100 grand off the deal, and Jennifer Fitzgerald, Shawn Nelson’s buddy, VOTED FOR IT! Wake up folks.
#11 by Reality Is... on April 18, 2016 - 3:39 pm
Affordable housing has taken over a City I often frequent. Due to state requirements. It’s the nicest housing complexes in the city right now. Only certain percentages are affordable housing.
#12 by Anonymous on April 16, 2016 - 11:39 pm
You can’t point to a specific time in one of your many videos where this is mentioned?
That’s because it’s probably not there, and you’re just a liar, Joe.
#13 by Joe Imbriano on April 17, 2016 - 10:28 am
Watch the planning commission hearings, read the DCCSP, read up on S.C.A.G, read the text of SB 375, You wish I was a liar.
#14 by Anonymous on April 17, 2016 - 2:26 pm
Point out exactly where we should read or watch, or stop wasting our time insisting something is there when it’s not.
#15 by Joe Imbriano on April 17, 2016 - 3:05 pm

So asking you to provide proof for your claims is the behavior of a thug? Huh.
#17 by Joe Imbriano on April 17, 2016 - 5:52 pm
No comment on the facts? Just commentary on the vernacular employed by the messenger to attack the messenger to detract from the message. Yes considering what is on the line you are acting like a thug.
#18 by Anonymous on April 18, 2016 - 10:10 am
What facts? All you’ve presented is speculation and name-calling.
#19 by anonymous on April 18, 2016 - 2:24 pm
You are so ignorant! Why don’t you stop calling Joe a liar and get with the program. Do you have connections with Jennifer Fitzgerald?
#20 by Anonymous on April 18, 2016 - 8:42 pm
I am neither. Maybe you could answer the question for Joe instead of calling people names?
#21 by Reality Is..... on April 16, 2016 - 11:38 pm
You notice how if you speak facts you are ignored? LOL ever wonder why Barry and Joe are ignored by anyone that has anything to do with the City of Fullerton? Wonder where they learned it from LOL
#22 by Joe Imbriano on April 17, 2016 - 10:22 am
What else are corrupt people supposed to do when confronted with the truth? Hello.
#23 by Reality Is..... on April 17, 2016 - 6:21 pm
LOL you just called yourself corrupt.
#24 by Anonymous on April 16, 2016 - 2:32 pm
Another view just provided another lie on this website. The city government elites and their special interest groups are getting very worried. Now we learn that a high ranking employee of Placentia has just been charged with stealing 4.3 million dollars from the taxpayers in only a 10 month time-frame. The net is shrinking on the corrupt, the arrogant and the contemptible city government elites. Whatever they may say to the contrary they feel the heat and it is growing hotter and hotter every single day.
#25 by Reality Is..... on April 16, 2016 - 11:39 pm
to think that the city of placentia incident had anything to do with some random city resident speaking out against the council is asinine.
