COSTA MESA
The battle to get more residents in Yellowstone Women’s First Step House is not over, despite a unanimous City Council decision Monday night to deny the group’s appeal to increase the number from seven to 14.
“I don’t think we’re going to sit still,” said Garry Troxell, one of the directors of the recovery home for alcoholic women. Troxell said the group home will consult with its attorney to determine what action it should take.
In October, the council granted Yellowstone a conditional use permit for seven residents, though the group home had requested a permit for 14.
“We have not heard any new information,” Councilwoman Libby Cowan said Monday in her motion to deny the appeal.
