84 Homes To Be Built On NOAA Property

Noaa Close

Wait, what happened to Tianzhu Chu and Yuncheng Huang that bought the land for a home for mama? (another fail by a Panetta, to stop the sale).

the city now suggests that 84 housing units could be built at 1352 Lighthouse Ave, where the former NOAA building stands.

The site is just a short stroll from the tidepools of Point Pinos and Asilomar State Park. The 84 units are among l, 125 units the city believes it is required to designate for development, all to accommodate the state’s mandate to address California’s housing crisis.

NOAA Building Becomes A Home For Mom.

Just like the older Panetta that lost Fort Ord, the younger one fails to save government land.

last week, the Monterey Herald talked to one of the buyers, Tianzhi Chu, who told the newspaper he bought the building so his mother and real estate partner, Yuncheng Huang, could live there.

A local group, which calls itself COAST, wanted the building donated to the City of Pacific Grove and turned into a science and environmental center. According to COAST, “more than 2,500 residents, including leading oceanographers, marine biologists and other scientists,”
signed a petition urging that the property be used for  marine scientific research and education.”

Congressman Jimmy Panetta has backed that plan, and he  repeatedly called for the property to be taken off the auction
block because, he said, the federal Public Buildings Reform Board “failed to engage with local stakeholders.”

Can Jimmy do it?

Noaa Close

It was initially scheduled to go from January 31 to March 9. At this point, there is no longer an end date.

This gives Rep. Jimmy Panetta’s (D-Carmel Valley) and the Center for Ocean Art, Science and Technology (COAST), a volunteer group of multidisciplinary experts, more time to ensure the transfer of the building is kept in the public’s interest.

Congressman Jimmy Panetta Will Ban Single Use Plastics

What a single use plastic might look like:

Local communities have taken the necessary steps to reduce unnecessary plastic products. But now it’s time for the federal government to demonstrate leadership and address this problem,” said Panetta. “The Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act sets out a marker to show the need to rein in waste, improve recycling, decrease harmful emissions, and help stop plastics from ending up in our oceans.

Jimmy Panetta Using Butterflies To Get More Taxes

Awwww – congresscirtter wants to help the butterflies.

The Monarch Action, Recovery, and Conservation of Habitat (MONARCH) Act, introduced during last week’s session of Congress, would establish a western monarch butterfly rescue fund of $62.5 million released over five years. Funded projects would fill in information gaps and focus on the restoration of sensitive overwintering and breeding habitat to guard against future extinction.

Ohhhhh – by spending tax dollars for more government consultants.

When asked what the city of Pacific Grove might do with a portion of the proposed funds, Public Works management analyst Caleb Schneider said the city would be keen to hire additional consultants to assess their current conservation efforts and to invest in infrastructure such as irrigation for the sanctuary.
