The Village at Laguna Hills
Description
Modification of the previously approved mall redevelopment: a second hotel, 200 affordable senior units, 356 for-sale homes, about 163,000 sq ft of retail including a relocated Nordstrom Rack and a Whole Foods, subdividing 10 lots into 27, and a new development agreement.
Impact summary
Replaces the dead mall with a mixed-use village bringing housing, hotels, jobs, and tax revenue — but with far less retail and office than earlier versions, and a Hotel One site that may be condemned for the I-5 interchange.

The headline vote: final approval of the amended development agreement with MGP Fund X for the mall redevelopment. Pezold voted no, citing weak enforcement, financial assurances and public outreach; Wheeler refused to vote, citing lack of review time and lost retail. Supporters highlighted 200 lower-income senior homes and two hotels.
