Makana Nova, Associate Planner, provided a brief project description, noting that this is a development agreement review
and that the Zoning Administrator’s authority is limited to a status update regarding whether the terms of the agreement
have been met and additional conditions or requirements cannot be imposed. Ms. Nova provided a brief status update.
The Zoning Administrator confirmed with Ms. Nova that development had not yet occurred on the site and no public
benefit received.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. One member of the public, Jim Mosher, spoke and acknowledged
that the Coastal Commission had previously approved a coastal development permit and expressed doubt that Coastal
Commission was aware of the 10-year development agreement. He noted that this coastal development permit had been
allowed to expire. He also commented that the project development protected by the Development Agreement and the
associated General Plan amendment are not acknowledged in the City’s General Plan Land Use Element. In response
to the Zoning Administrator’s inquiry, Mr. Mosher expressed doubt that the development agreement was valid, but noted
that he did not object to the applicant’s good faith compliance with the terms of the development agreement.
The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing.
As the applicant’s representative arrived, the Zoning Administrator reopened the public hearing. Roy Roberson of Land
Strategies, LLC, on behalf of Golf-Realty Fund, O’Hill Properties, stated that he had reviewed the staff report and was
available for questions.
The Zoning Administrator closed the public hearing. The Zoning Administrator received and filed the annual development
agreement review.
