3 issues in development with high priority
Ramona Creek drainage dispute and extension of time
The city added new stormwater conditions (106–111) to the Ramona Creek project after losing a $4.7 million grant, and the applicant is pushing back. Flooding at Myers and Devonshire during recent storms makes this a real neighborhood issue. Both sides will meet before the November 17 hearing.
