Sacred Cogged Stone Site Annexation The City of Huntington Beach is preparing to annex the 6-acre Cogged Stone Site located at the end of Bolsa Chica Street.  The city's proposed zoning includes 2 acres of Conservation on the eastern slope, 1/2 acre of Park in the southwest corner, and 3.5 acres of low density residential for the rest. The site is home to a WWII support bunker and California Gnatcatchers, in addition to ORA-83, the Indian artifact site.  There will be a 30-day public comment period for the proposed plan.     New Tract Map for Upper Bolsa Chica Wetlands 2007 and 2008 saw the state Coastal Commission approve the Land Use Plan for the Upper Wetlands.  This plan said that Shea Homes had to set aside more acres for conservation that originally proposed.  As a result, the developer has submitted a new tract map calling for 111 houses on 27 acres.  Before it had been 170 houses on 40 acres.  The Land Trust was instrumental in preserving more acres for conservation.  The HB City Council will be reviewing the new map in the next few months.     Make a Difference at Bolsa Chica On the first (1st) Sunday of each month and the third (3rd) Saturday of each month, the Bolsa Chica Stewards are out on the Bolsa Chica Mesa restoring native vegetation to the landscape. They plant new plants, water old plants, pull invasive weeds, and generally have a fun time doing their part to restore the Bolsa Chica ecosystem.

Bolsa Chica Land Trust attended meeting and testified to the importance of the pedestrian bridge. We stressed that this is a public access and public safety project. This project has broad community support and both Senator Tom Harman and Assemblyman Jim Silva sent letters of support. WCB unanimously voted to approve non frozen funds so work on bridge will begin! Final agreements between CWF and Construction, Inc. will be signed as soon as practical after board approval, allowing work to begin. According to contractor, 135 days are necessary for total project, since construction of onsite foundations, ramps will occur simultaneously with bridge construction offsite. Best case scenario: 4 ½ mos = October 30th bridge completion. 6 ½ mos = December 30 Stay tuned!!!.
