The Hillcrest Town Council held their monthly meeting yesterday evening at the Joyce Beers Community Center. After a presentation by the the crime committee a motion was made to recommend action to permanently close the recycling centers at the Ralphs and Vons grocery stores in Hillcrest. The motion overwhelmingly passed. Mission Hills resident and attorney Barry Hager then made a presentation to the group about the proposed Interim Height Ordinance. (Hillcrest residents & business owners may sign an endorsement this Saturday at Ralphs). The development committee presented a motion for the HTC to endorse the interim ordinance which proposes a 65′ height limit. It passed with one resident voting against and one abstaining. The development committee closed the meeting with a plan for locations of new signage for the gateways into Hillcrest. It is hoped that the city will have the signs in place in time for Hillcrest’s 100th birthday on Thursday, August 2. Next month’s meeting will be held Tuesday, June 12 at the Joyce Beers Community Center in the Uptown District. (HTC meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm)
