Top issues during term (9)(Development)
Kensington Residential Condominium Subdivision
Paid standard development impact fees and user fees under SB 330 provisions.
subdivision development agreement
Taxpayers are protected because the developer has to put up bonds to pay for all public improvements and landscaping.
Coastline Development Financing District (CFD No. 2026-1)
Future Coastline property owners would pay a new special tax; the district could issue up to $5 million in bonds.
Menifee 37 Multi-Family Development
Substantial residential growth increasing municipal service demands and fee revenues.
Prime Self-Storage Expansion
The project is expected to generate tax revenue and fund infrastructure improvements.
Del Oro Townhomes financing district (CFD)
No direct cost to the city — the developer paid a $2,500 processing deposit and special taxes on the new homes would cover the bond payments.
CDBG Program Performance and CAPER Approval
Over $729,000 in federal CDBG and coronavirus funds were expended to assist low-income residents.
warehouse development restrictions
Expect fewer massive warehouse projects, which could mean fewer jobs and less tax revenue in the short term.
Minor Home Rehabilitation Program
Over $729,000 expended in federal CDBG and coronavirus grant funds assisting low-to-moderate income residents.
