10 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2022
COMMISSION APPROVES
BUT THE BATTLE
By Jerry Monahan, Board President, and Laurie Larson, Chair of
Communications Board
There were meetings with both city officials and development company
representatives. There were letters of appeal, protesters, and speakers
presenting concerns about health and traffic congestion. Despite the effort of
many citizens, the Banning Planning Commission voted yes to go ahead with
the warehouse-retail project scheduled to be built across from the main gate
of Sun Lakes. The battle is not over.
The Pass Action Group (PAG), chaired by Sun Lakes resident Randy Robbins,
has made a continued effort to stop the 620,000 square-foot project located
off of Highland Springs, behind Albertsons. At the time of this writing, the
PAG retained a lawyer to appeal the December decision of the commission.
While Sun Lakes has taken the lead on this opposition, this warehouse will
impact our residents as well with polluted air and congested traffic in and
around already crowded intersections, and with it, possibly delayed response
time by fire, police, and ambulance.
Four Seasons residents are encouraged to get involved. Donations for
legal fees and costs can be sent by check, made out to Pass Action Group and
mailed to Randy Robbins, 5972 Indian Canyon Drive, Banning 92220. A Zelle
account may also be operational now. Any amount will help fight this project.
Residents can contact Robbins at randyLLump@yahoo.com with any
questions about the efforts of PAG. You can also go to passactiongroup.org
to join the PAG to stay current with the latest information and request to
join Pass Area Action Group on Facebook. Watch this space or go to www.
