Top issues during term (9)(Development)

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.

Over $729,000 in federal CDBG and coronavirus funds were expended to assist low-income residents.
warehouse development restrictions
