CEQA Litigation over 412 North Oakhurst Senior Housing
A rabbi's representative urged the city to seek a 90-day continuance of an August 18 court hearing on litigation over 412 North Oakhurst, saying a settlement conference protecting seniors was in progress. The city attorney explained the court, not the city, controls continuances, and the developer has moved to dismiss.
Affordable Housing Program Administration Cost
The city pays $100,000 a year to a consultant to administer a program with just eight affordable units — roughly one unit coming on the market per year. Multiple councilmembers flagged this as inefficient and asked staff to explore bringing it in-house.
Louis Vuitton flagship plan-review contract
The city will spend up to $161,975 on JAS Pacific for outside plan review on the Louis Vuitton flagship project, with the cost offset by the project's own processing fees.
