| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2022 | 5 By Jerry Monahan, Board President, and Laurie Larson, Chair of Communications Board at Four Seasons Beaumont. Reprinted with permission The Pass Action Group's (PAG) appeal to the Banning Planning Commission ruling was heard by the Banning City Council on Feb. 17. Unfortunately, the council voted 4-1 in favor of accepting the Planning Commission's recommendation and approved the design review and the parcel split for the warehouse. Due to the action of the Banning City Council, at this time the warehouse can go forward with no stipulation that the adjoining retail portion be built and occupied before the warehouse is built. Prior to the appeal hearing, the PAG's law firm requested that three Banning City Council members recuse themselves due to bias shown in videos and on social media posts. All three council members declined to recuse themselves. The legal team met with the PAG leadership, and it was determined that the best course of action would be to file a lawsuit. On March 5, the PAG Board met and voted to move forward with a lawsuit. The lawsuit will be heard by a judge in Riverside County Superior Court. Donations for legal fees and necessary expenses will be needed in order for the PAG to carry this opposition through the courts. Donations can be sent to PAG Treasurer Jeannie Lloyd at 4832 Crenshaw Circle, Banning, CA 92220, or to PAG President Randy Robbins at 5972 Indian Canyon Drive, Banning, CA 92220. Donations may also be made at www.givebutter.com/passactiongroupbanning. If you need to contact Randy Robbins directly, you can reach him at randyLLump@yahoo.com. We will have a town hall meeting with the PAG on April 7 from 6 to 8 pm in The Four Seasons Beaumont Lodge Ballroom to learn more about actions being taken by the PAG to stop the warehouse from being built. Please put April 7 on your calendar and plan to attend this informative and very important meeting about the warehouse project. The PAG members thank you for your support. Stop the warehouse.
