2 issues in zoning with high priority
Las Palomas Townhomes (Plaza Colibri Lots 32-36) rezoning refiled
A developer is trying to resubmit minor amendment and rezoning applications for five Plaza Colibri lots less than 12 months after the City Council denied the original request. City code requires a six-of-seven supermajority of the commission to accept the applications early, and the commission will try again at an October 20 special meeting.
State land rezoning to fight retail leakage
The city rezoned 29.8 acres of state land on Cesar Chavez Boulevard to community commercial so it's shovel-ready when the state auctions roughly 40 acres. Staff estimates San Luis leaks $55 million in retail spending to other cities — capturing it could mean about $3.2 million in sales tax revenue for city services.
