Westminster officials block permit to redevelop the property, allowing the park's residents, many of them veterans and refugees of the Vietnam War, to stay in their homes.
Neighbors at the Green Lantern Village mobile home park in Westminster continued greeting each other Saturday with the good news: “We will remain. Yes, we will remain.”
That victory came Jan. 16, when Westminster officials terminated the property owner’s application for a permit to allow new development, which lacked an environmental impact report. Tenants rejoiced. Representatives of Walsh Properties LLC had submitted paperwork to the city, asking for a different land-use permit to allow for new development. Ross Bartlett, a member of the park owner’s family, told residents that he and relatives had been talking about selling the site for at least a decade.
His three-bedroom home is one of the largest at the park, he said, and with upgraded floors and countertops and a redesigned garden, it has become his haven. “No one would go willingly,” added the retired bookstore owner who also ran the Dai Nam publishing house.
