EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Pillar Point Harbor Village Status Report | |
RECOMMENDATION | ||
Accept status report and attachments. | ||
VISION ALIGNMENT | ||
Commitment: Responsive, effective and collaborative government. | ||
Goal(s): To ensure that the original intent of project approval is maintained through ongoing monitoring and reporting during the construction of the Pillar Point Harbor Village project. The project underwent full environmental review and all required Planning approvals were obtained. The project is designed to address the need for visitor-serving facilities on the Coast and to enhance the economic vitality of the Midcoast area. | ||
BACKGROUND | ||
In May 2005, the Board of Supervisors extended the time limit within which the Pillar Point Harbor Village project must be completed to May 22, 2007. At the Board’s request, Planning staff reported back In August 2005 on the overall status of the project, with an agreement to return again in six months to provide status updates on all pending conditions associated with the project’s original 1989 approval. | ||
DISCUSSION | ||
Summary of Project Conditions and Status: | ||
All 45 conditions of the project’s original 1989 approval have either already been met or are pending as the project progresses towards completion. All building permits, except for restaurant shell, have been issued and are progressing as anticipated in order to meet the developer’s projected completion date of December 2006. Planning staff will provide an additional project status report six months from this date, with additional six-month status reports through to the project’s completion. | ||
Conditions Regarding Public Improvements: | ||
The original conditions of project approval require the developer to construct roadway improvements along portions of Capistrano Road and Highway 1. Substantial progress has been made on all such improvements, which are anticipated for completion, weather permitting by April/May 2006. The developer understands that the project cannot be occupied prior to completion of these public improvements and that the County will not issue Certificates of Occupancy for any portion of the site until all public improvements are installed. | ||
Prevailing Wages: | ||
A condition of approval requires the applicant, to the extent allowed by law, to pay prevailing wages at a level which would be required if the project was a Public Works project. Staff will receive verification from the applicant through certified payroll or similar documentation that prevailing wages are being paid. | ||
FISCAL IMPACT | ||
The total revenues associated with the building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits applied for to-date is over $970,000. Additionally, the assessed tax revenue when the project is completed will increase significantly. | ||
