Tomorrow's edition of the Champion has an article about a delay by the City of Industry in deciding whether to put the 2,400-acre Tres Hermanos Ranch up for sale.
Back in the Spring, it was stated that an Irvine company had been retained to market the property, but, according to Industry's new city manager, Paul Phillips, there was never a signed contract.
Phillips was quoted in the article that there would be a 60-90 day period in which the city would further study the situation before the city council, which took on a new majority in June's elections, would decide on what to do.
So, by the end of the year, expect an announcement from the city that Tres Hermanos is officially up for sale.
here for the group's Facebook page) is slated to have a meeting on the 17th to discuss strategies on fighting the development of the ranch.
It should be noted that any plans for building on the property will require zoning changes in Diamond Bar, which has several hundred acres in its limits, and Chino Hills, which has the lion's share within its domain.
Diamond Bar can make those decisions within its administrative system and by a vote of its city council, but, in Chino Hills, any such request is subject to the provisions of Measure U, passed by voters some fifteen years ago. This means that there would have to be an election held and voter approval given for any change to the zoning for the portions of the ranch within Chino Hills.
Now, that would be an interesting election!
