Why is the State Being Asked to Study 2 Sites for the Veterans Memorial Park … Even Though Only 1 Site is Legally Available?
Last May, three members of the current City Council (now-Mayor Farrah Khan and Councilmembers Mike Carroll and Anthony Kuo) voted to adopt the citizens’ initiative, signed by 19,790 Irvine residents, which officially rezoned the ARDA site exclusively for the Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery.

The fact of the matter is, by law, they cannot do that.
