Are we against housing in Fox Hills?
No, we understand that we need housing, but we want equitable distribution of housing. One single neighborhood can not be the answer for all Culver City housing.
What is the total number of housing Culver City is requested by the state to create?
3341 units.
How many current proposed projects in Fox Hills?
1705 units (3 projects) + Bristol Plaza, rumor of 1000 units. Total: 2705 units
What is a General Plan?
A general plan is each local government's blueprint for meeting the community's long-term vision for the future. One of the important things that sets is the zoning parameters. The new Culver City General Plan is for the next 20-30 years.
What is the current density for mix use zoning in Fox Hills?
Density Mix use zoning is 35 units/acre.
What is in the General Plan for Fox Hills?
Proposed mix use is 100 units/Acre. About 300% increase in our density.
Is this the maximum number of units they can develop?
No. Developers can obtain a density bonus doubling the number of units. We could have up to 200 units/Acre. 600% increase in our density.
Culver City did an EIR (Environmental Impact Report) for the General Plan.
EIR draft:
Don’t be afraid. It is huge!
Start with the Executive Summary first!
This has been a long journey full of ups and downs, and I want to thank all of you for the love and support I have received throughout this entire campaign.
I am so grateful for the confidence Culver City’s voters have placed in me, and I pledge to do my absolute best on the City Council as we chart the path forward for the city we all love.
What was so impressive about this year’s vote is the number of people who came out to participate in the democratic process. More people voted in this election than ever before! That engagement, that dialogue and that participation is something we need to build on as we tackle the difficult issues before us.
I am hopeful that as we move forward, both as a city and as a nation, there will be less division, less fighting and more of a cooperative spirit that will lead Culver City and the United States to a future that benefits everyone.
I'm so proud of what we have accomplished together, and I look forward to all that we can do in the coming weeks, months and years.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now, let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

During these unprecedented times let's take care of ourselves, families and loved ones.
Let us also remember to take time to care for our very special and beautiful Fox Hills Neighborhood. Let’s keep our Fox Hills community looking good. Let’s keep Fox Hills healthy.
Sadly, there have been complaints of residents not cleaning up after their pets and of leaving litter on our streets and sidewalks.
This creates unsightly and unsanitary conditions for all of us in Fox Hills.
WE MUST ALL WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. WE MUST ALL DO OUR PART TO MAINTAIN FOX HILLS.
We must all do our part right now by keeping our sidewalks and streets clean-----by staying inside our homes---by following the guidance of our public health officials, mayor and governor.
Let’s remember to keep social distancing of 6 feet apart and washing our hands---all the things recommended on the government sites below.
Our city services are overwhelmed and they are doing a good job.
Let’s do our part by not littering our streets and sidewalks.
Let us be mindful and helpful to others in our Fox Hills community.
We at the Fox Hills Alliance will continue to stay on the frontline in fighting for a better Fox Hills and keeping you informed of important developments.
The Fox Hills Alliance will always stand with you during these very difficult times.
We will get through this and better times are ahead.
Fox Hills Alliance
We are asking Fox Hills to change to Vote by Mail ASAP for November Election.
Why change to Vote by Mail?
1) Coronarvirus
Nobody knows what situation we will be in November. This way it will make it easier to vote, just in case. This Election is too important!
Every vote counts!
2) Flexibility
If you have the Vote by mail and you want to do same day vote, just bring your Vote by Mail ballot and they will exchange the ballot to the same day vote ballot.
If something unexpected happen (sickness, accident, family loss, work or family emergency,….) , you can vote.
3) No need to wait in line.
You can drop your ballot in any polling place or mail (no postage necessary).
Better way to be immune from machine tempering (in case there is some foreign interference). We are lucky to be in California and we have a government that will protect our elections the best way they can. Vote my Mail, you can w/ a regular pen mark your choice. Nothing in between you and your choice.
4) Fox Hills has no more a local polling place
5) Very Important!
People that moved: you must re-register with your Culver City address in order to be able to vote for the Culver City issues and candidates for City Council. If you want to participate in the local issues, please re-register, even if you already are registered for
Vote by Mail from your old address.
We need your participation in our local government.

We believe it is important for Fox Hills to be ready for the next election!
It's official HSH the developer of the Fox Hills Plaza (CVS and Marshalls) in Culver City, has withdrawn his application for the project. The large apartment project IS GONE.
THANK YOU FOX HILLS RESIDENTS!
We have a copy of the MND comments and was sent to the city of Culver City within the comment period.
Please contact us if you are interested in learning more.
Fox Hills Alliance asked for extension of the MND period.
Here is the answer from the City:
Please be advised that any request to reopen/extend the public comment period on the Draft MND for the proposed Bristol Parkway development should be made directly to City Council during the public comment period of a City Council meeting. City Council will then need to determine by a majority vote to agendize the item for discussion and deliberate at a subsequent City Council meeting.
Here is the current proposed Project:Project Documents.
HSH Development formally filed the project with the City: it includes 712 apartment units.
Just for you to have an idea: Culver City took 10 years to add about 650 units.
If this project goes through, it will be the LARGEST multi-use project in ALL of Culver City. This proposal will REDUCE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RETAIL AND INCREASE DENSITY at an astronomical rate in Fox Hills, meaning a significant strain on current resources with no additional funding - less walk-able neighborhood (forcing the Fox Hills residents to use their cars), more traffic, less parking, reduced emergency response services and overcrowding of schools, local amenities and more
What happens next?
The city received all the technical reports and a draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The MND was published and a notice was published in the LA Times, filed with the County Clerk, and a mailing will go out to residents that were notified for the community meeting(s) (including the expanded list for the Fox Hills residential neighborhood). However, THIS IS NOT A FULL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR).
