A previously unschedule meeting that must be held
The town council will hold a Zoom session on December 30 at 5pm to discuss and take possible action on the 1st Avenue and Tangerine Road General Plan Amendment. The council failed to hold this hearing at its December 2 meeting because Town Manager Jacobs failed to post the public hearing notice. The council voted to defer the hearing until January 6. As LOVE noted at that time, this violated state law requirements that the council hold the hearing with the calendar year of the request. Thus, the need for the hearing on the 30th.
The council does not need to make a decision on the 30th. Council can continue its decision until the planned January 6 hearing.
Town needs to fix meeting link
The town will need to correct the link to the meeting. The link is to the "meetings and agenda" page. That page does not show the December 30 council meeting.
Like all general plan amendments, this one stands to make the Kai family millions. They seek to change the general plan designation on this property from commercial to residential. As we’ve reported, they have submitted five plans: Apartments; Rental Casitas; Senior Care; Townhomes; and Single Family Residential.
These will substantially increase property density. They are attempting to justify this based on “market demand.”
The family has already benefitted greatly from the generosity of the Hiremath majority, with land use change and rezoning of acres south of the lot for the Silverhawk development.
