Inn and spa would bring more traffic, not less

In a recent mailing, the developer of the Malibu Valley Inn would have us believe that a yes vote on Measure C would be a vote for less crowded schools, when actually the opposite is true.

According to district rules, the more than 370 workers who will be building this development will, by law, be able to send their children to Las Virgenes schools.

Of the 81 homes that the developer is threatening to build if Measure C is defeated, more than half are in the costal zone and have not been approved by the coastal commission. Don’t believe the supporters of Measure C when they say this housing development is a done deal, because it’s not.

The inn has been called a convention center because there is a convention center component to this massive development, two times larger than the Calabasas Commons. I believe the 2,000 car trips per day this development is projected to produce will cause traffic jams and gridlock on Las Virgenes. I urge the residents of Calabasas to vote no on Measure C.
