Venice Stakeholders is looking to raise $5,000 to retain legal counsel
to oppose the conversion of the Westminister Center to storage and keep
alive the prospect of other uses such as a Venice Historical Museum
and/or an office for park rangers for the Venice Beach Recreation Area
and policing other parks in Venice. Contributions, which are tax
deductible, can be made by PayPal to venicestakerholders@ca.rr.com or
sent to VSA c/o 1615 Andalusia Avenue, Venice, CA. All donations will
be used for legal research, and opposing the storage use, such as
challenging the facility's change of use from recreation to a
non-recreation use and application for a project permit under the Venice
Local Coastal Specific Plan.
UPDATE: We have now raised $750 towards the $5,000 needed to retain legal counsel. In the meantime our attorneys are reviewing legal challenges as a courtesy.
