Peterson is the same well-heeled “sugar daddy” developer who appeared regularly on early seasons of reality TV show “Real Housewives of Orange County.”  sponsored the original plans for the Royal Vista project in 2021 The revised plans by RV Dev LLC run by the RV Res I LLC that state business records say is run by Peterson call for 360 homes on the east side of the golf course in unincorporated Rowland Heights officially located in the city of Walnut but actually on private property under the jurisdiction of Los Angeles County The Royal Vista Residential Project would redevelop 75 acres of the 156-acre course The project entails 200 single-family homes with 28 acres of publicly accessible open space and recreational trails the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission unanimously approved the project certifying the Environmental Impact Report and recommending a zoning change and General Plan amendment for passage by L.A Some 23 percent of the for-sale homes would be set aside for moderate-income households which Conk described as “workforce housing.” Neighbors have long pushed back against the proposed development they say could crowd local schools use more water and destroy open space used by wildlife Archuleta weighed in on the side of the developer — and his field deputy caught an earful from residents at a recent community meeting who argued that infrastructure can’t handle a new influx of residents SIGN UPMembers of the Rowland Heights Community Coordinating Council opposed the project saying they felt excluded from the decision-making process Opponents suggested the defunct golf course should be turned into a park that would “preserve nature,” according to the Tribune Council President Yvette Romoshe told the Tribune that Colima Road “cannot support the infrastructure of thousands of new drivers on the road.” “We strongly disagree with that many houses.” Conk said the coordinating council “has been involved” in the project since 2021 and the developer has incorporated some of its suggestions He said the pollution and wildlife issues were addressed in the certified EIR saying new developments generally aren’t accepted by communities but their benefits far outweigh their drawbacks He said that infrastructure was already accounted for before Archuleta endorsed the project “There’s plenty of traffic studies and impact studies on exactly what the impacts of this development will be,” Miller told the Tribune sometimes the developer will need to account for that in order to maybe expand or strengthen or modernize infrastructure in order to meet what the anticipated requirements are.” He added that a portion of taxes generated by the new development can be directed toward improving Rowland Heights’ streets and more Conk added that the proposed project already includes some off-site street improvements Clarification: Previous story did not include information from Project Dimensions including that the project was approved by the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission Print The first time I visited the J&G Fried Chicken restaurant in Hacienda Heights on a Saturday and the line of customers spilled out the door and onto the walkway outside Food Yet the lure of a flattened fried chicken thigh the size of a pancake is persistent and strong My hopes surged when I found only six people in line How those six people managed to take about 5 minutes each to order from a menu that boasts just five varieties of fried chicken is beyond me Chicken cartilage from J&G Fried Chicken in Hacienda Heights (Jenn Harris / Los Angeles Times) I went for the fillet first ($7.99) The two women at the table next to me were each halfway through their fillets the paper protecting their fingers as they ate and chatted It wasn’t as enormous as the ones you’ll find at the 626 Night Market or the actual night markets in Taiwan I’m still lamenting the loss of the Hot Star vendor at Smorgasburg whose specialty was the XXL chicken cutlet The J&G version is an adequate substitute with its vast jagged terrain sheathed in teeny golden spheres of shattery coating like a colossal piece of popcorn chicken that went splat on the kitchen counter but it’s still juicy enough to drip when you rip off a corner there was only a whisper of heat from what tasted like white pepper rather than chile The popcorn chicken ($5.99) is encased in a delicate batter that brought to mind McDonald’s chicken nuggets and the funnel cake at the state fair Each piece is a tad sweet and erupts in a mixture of juice and hot grease the chicken in the Popeyes sandwich is crunchier There’s a yuzu variety ($7.49) I plan to try next time and a smoked salmon chicken sandwich ($8.99) that I wasn’t able to order on a Tuesday If slices of smoked salmon draped over a fried chicken fillet with a slice of pineapple some red onions and honey mustard sauce sounds appealing The cartilage ($6.99) is the chicken I’d be willing to wait the longest for You get the satisfaction of popcorn chicken with the extra gentle crunch of cartilage carve out some time during the week for your visit Unless you want that smoked

Crimes Bureau held a press conference to announce the arrest of a suspect in the Rowland Heights “99 Ranch Market” robbery.   Major Crimes Bureau’s – Metro Detail detectives learned of an armed robbery that occurred in the parking lot of the 99 Ranch Market in Rowland Heights An Asian female adult and an Asian male adult were walking to their vehicle in the parking lot when they were confronted by two male Black adult suspects wearing hoodies and they demanded a watch one of the victims was wearing Before the victims could react or comply with the suspects’ demands they were physically assaulted by the suspects causing both victims to fall to the ground The suspects then physically removed the watch from the male’s wrist The suspects fled in a white-colored Dodge Challenger with paper plates that contained distinctive traffic collision damage to the rear passenger fender With the assistance of local law enforcement agencies investigators were able to identify Demoryie Watts as one of the suspects involved in the robbery assisted by the LASD Special Enforcement Bureau conducted a multi-location search warrant at two residences in Los Angeles and one in Lancaster that were associated with Suspect Watts During the search at the residence in Lancaster Suspect Watts was located and safely taken into custody without incident It was learned that at the time of the robbery Suspect Watts was on parole for a prior carjacking arrest The vehicle used during the robbery was located and a handgun believed to have been used during the robbery was also located and seized the Rolex watch was not recovered during the arrest of the suspect He is currently in custody and a second suspect is still outstanding “There is a lot of pieces of the puzzle that the community provides that allows us to turn that one lead into a clue and that clue into an evidentiary value that actually assisted us in capturing the suspect and identify him,” said LASD Major Crimes Bureau This specific crime was shocking to all because it occurred during broad daylight and at a peaceful family community in Rowland Heights there is no evidence to indicate the subjects were motivated by hate.  “Our concern is now the District Attorney is not filing cases had all the evidence presented to the District Attorney and he refused to file charges because it was a special order and that blanket policy allowed a lot of people to continue harming the community,” said Sheriff Alex Villanueva Sheriff Villanueva emphasized the need of more deputies on the streets The hiring freeze imposed by the Board of Supervisors is shrinking the Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles County community is the one most affected by the brazen crime throughout Los Angeles County.  KTLA

Responding deputies found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. One of them was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was rushed to the hospital in stable condition. People living in the area described the scene. "Somebody just unloaded a whole clip of shots," said Alfredo Leyva. "I saw a bunch of people running and people started screaming," said Josue Rosas. "There were gunshots. The helicopter was there within 3 minutes of all of that happening. It was super quick." Authorities say one person was arrested and a firearm was recovered at the scene, but additional details about the deadly shooting were not available. Print A man and woman were loading groceries into their car Saturday after shopping at 99 Ranch Market in Rowland Heights when two strangers approached The woman screamed as the strangers pistol-whipped them before fleeing with the man’s $60,000 Rolex A video of the attack and its aftermath capturing the woman’s terror and the pair squatting in the parking lot as she tried to stanch the bleeding from her companion’s head quickly spread through the local Chinese community Robberies of expensive watches, snatched from victims’ wrists as they dine, walk or shop, have become a trend in Los Angeles. California gangs are sending out crews to prey on the mega-rich But few thought it would happen on a quiet afternoon in this prosperous majority-Asian section of the east San Gabriel Valley For a community already reeling from anti-Asian hate attacks and a shooting at a Taiwanese church in Orange County the brazen crime further eroded a fragile sense of security a worker rinsed blood off the spot in the parking lot where the attack took place Early-bird shoppers were stocking up on Asian staples at the popular supermarket northern Chinese and Cantonese restaurants who shops for fresh fish and produce at 99 Ranch twice a week with her husband I dress in normal clothes when I go out,” said Lee a social networking service used by many Chinese Americans recounting how she felt after viewing the video who on Monday morning was stationed at the front desk of a communications service store in the plaza was not at work when the attack took place “the sounds of the screaming seemed so close to me,” she said she tries to go with a coworker and is thinking about carrying pepper spray In the area patrolled by the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Station, which includes Rowland Heights, robberies decreased for the first five months of the year, compared with the same period in 2021, while burglaries increased. Capt. Steven Tousey, who heads the station, called Saturday’s armed robbery “a crime of opportunity.” Investigators believe the suspects, described as two men ages 25 to 30, wearing black hoodies and gray sweatpants, armed with handguns, were not from the Rowland Heights area. The pair fled in a white Dodge Challenger, Tousey said. The victims — a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s — suffered minor injuries and did not go to the hospital, according to Tousey. “When you live in an upscale area, people know they can possibly find nice things there,” he said. “That’s why people go there.” Before the pandemic, Tousey said, there was a rash of purse robberies at Asian business centers as shoppers unloaded their purchases. “They would put their purse in the passenger seat, someone would pull up alongside their car, grab it and run — but nothing like this robbery,” he said. John Hsu, president of the Together Against Crime Foundation, said he had told the plaza’s owner and the 99 Ranch Market company to beef up security even before Saturday’s attack. Officials at 99 Ranch Market did not respond to a request for comment. Hsu founded his Rowland Heights-based nonprofit last year to address public safety in the Asian American community. He said the group is pushing people to write to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff’s Department, calling for stronger law enforcement in Rowland Heights. He has seen a spike in residents’ interest in public safety issues after Saturday. “It’s a wakeup call,” he said. “If we don’t do something, it’s just going to deteriorate and affect your housing prices, affect your kids [and] their future.” Shoppers at the plaza Monday morning had many questions. Why did no one step in? Why was there no security presence outside the store? Some also wondered why anyone would wear such an expensive watch to go grocery shopping. “You just go to the store. It’s not party time. You don’t need fancy shoes, expensive pants,” said shopper Simon Yang. Yang, who was born in Taiwan, thinks many of his fellow immigrants are obsessed with status symbols and “showing off.” As he rolled his cart filled with fresh baked sesame pancakes and dried noodle bowls toward an exit at 99 Ranch, Yang pointed to his own faded jeans, topped with a plaid shirt. “Just take it easy,” he urged. “Nobody needs a watch now. We all use our iPhone.” But James Wang, a Taiwanese American attorney whose photo looms from billboards in the San Gabriel Valley, questioned whether anyone would have expected to get robbed at 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday in a busy parking lot. “It’s easy to blame somebody on the one hand for being flashy,” he said. “But even in very affluent neighborhoods, do we just not go on with our lives and not enjoy the fruits of our labor?” Politics Climate & Environment Check out our quick guide to the very best museums near Rowland Heights each offering a unique glimpse into Southern California’s rich tapestry of cultures and innovations Located in nearby Santa Ana, the Bowers Museum is a cultural haven that features a mix of permanent and traveling exhibits from around the world the museum's collections range from African to California plein-air painting and pre-Columbian artifacts The Bowers Museum not only showcases exquisite pieces but also hosts various cultural events making it a vibrant community hub for art lovers the Fullerton Museum Center is known for its eclectic mix of exhibitions that cover a broad spectrum of cultural and creative expressions From contemporary art shows to historical retrospectives the museum provides insights into local and international art scenes the museum is home to the Leo Fender Gallery which celebrates the legacy of the legendary guitar inventor making it a must-visit for music enthusiasts For those interested in California's rich history the Homestead Museum in City of Industry offers a fascinating look into the region's past The museum is set on a historic site that includes two well-preserved houses from the 19th century offering a glimpse into the lives of Southern California's early settlers visitors can explore the social and cultural transformations that shaped the Los Angeles area Does your business rank among the best in California Learn more about our selection criteria and vetting process the Richard Nixon Library & Museum offers an in-depth look at the life and career of America's 37th president The museum features a replica of the White House East Room an extensive collection of political memorabilia Interactive exhibits and a wealth of archival materials provide a comprehensive overview of Nixon's political legacy making it a compelling destination for history buffs Though temporarily closed for a major renovation the Pasadena Museum of California Art remains an iconic institution dedicated to showcasing California art and design With a focus on exhibitions that highlight the state's unique cultural landscape the PMCA is known for its thought-provoking displays of modern and contemporary art it promises to continue its tradition of presenting cutting-edge shows that reflect California's dynamic artistic community each with its own distinct flavor and focus offer enriching experiences for residents and visitors alike or simply curious about the world around you the museums near Rowland Heights provide a plethora of opportunities to explore the next time you find yourself in this charming corner of California be sure to add these cultural gems to your itinerary We’ll be your trustee Little Tokyo guide with a day’s worth of fun things to do in Little Tokyo If you're looking for something fun to do there are plenty of fun and free things to do in San Francisco Feel the knowledge flood from its elegant red-tile roofs as you wander the town’s beautiful college campus in search of hidden finds Enjoy the perfect California spring weather at these ideal spots for a spring vacation in California Check your inbox soon for the latest from California.com.
