The Bolsa Chica Land Trust needs the public's support to convince the Huntington Beach City Council to retain the land use designation on 5 acres of the Bolsa Chica Mesa as open space.

The council meets Tuesday at 6.

The proposed development site features areas that have historic significance, where burials and artifacts have been located, Land Trust leaders said.

They want the council to deny "The Ridge" project for 22 homes.

For nearly 30 years this Bolsa Chica bluff area has been designated as open space/parkland for all to enjoy.

"It should stay that way!" insisted Flossie Horgan, a board member of the Land Trust.

The City Council Chamber is in the Huntington Beach Civic Center at 2000 Main Street, on the corner of Yorktown.
