Thank you to The Huntington Beach Planning Commissioners. They voted to permit the expansion of the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort including a nine-story tower providing a total of 156 new guestrooms with appurtenant facilities and grant a 5 year extension of time to the existing Amended and Restated Development Agreement adopted on October 21, 1998 (21100 Pacific Coast Highway, 92648 - bounded on the north by Pacific Avenue, on the east by Twin Dolphin Drive, on the south by Pacific Coast Highway, and on the west by the existing Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort.) Next the issue goes to The City Council to be approved.

This is an Important Announcement from KTLA:


Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assistant Karin Reed says:
Report a Crime Online
The Huntington Beach Police Department online citizen police report system allows a person to submit a report for certain minor crimes. It also allows that person to print a copy of the police report for free. This provides a great convenience for most since it can be done rather quickly with no time delays. However, not all reports can be filed online. The police department website gives detailed information on what the requirements are for filing a report online.

In 2011 citizens used the online crime reporting system over 900 times to file minor reports for offenses such as lost property, petty theft, harassing telephone calls and vandalism. For more information on how to use the system visit the police department web page at www.hbpd.org and link to Report a Crime Online”.

Huntington Beach Public Works Department Construction Manager Eric Charlonne would like to inform you of this coming project:
Main Street in Huntington Beach between Yorktown Avenue and Utica Street will undergo a major rehabilitation similar to Edwards Street. This street segment is located between the Huntington Beach High School and the Civic Center. Most of the work will take place during the spring break (April 9th – April 13th) and other school off hours. The project should take around 4 week to complete. Please E-Mail: echarlonne@surfcity-hb.org with any questions.
