The existing plant is considered an eyesore in the middle of very expensive property, in a city that doesn’t have much buildable space left.

Eyesore? There is this beautiful Wyland mural, 87' X 622', facing the ocean.

I actually remember seeing that mural when I was at at the Red weeks ago from Hollywood. Went to Bluewater for some business..

I don’t think anybody minds the mural. It’s the more industrial parts of the building and the big power lines and towers leading away from it.

Personally, I don’t live in RB, but near it, so I don’t have a dog in this fight. But if you want to follow this story, The Daily Breeze covers it.

I would also note that, years ago, the city council allowed some big apartments by the beach, which took out a lot of historic Craftsman houses and destroyed local charm. I think the city does not want to err like that again, and this legacy lurks in the background of the debate.
