3 issues in development with medium priority
AVPH community event hall at 44247 10th Street West
A nonprofit event center hosting up to 300 guests, roughly 150 events a year, with alcohol service under ABC rules. A neighboring pastor worried about parking conflicts; the project is conditioned to keep event parking on-site.
Avanti South Development Agreement Extension
The developer of the 307.7-acre Avanti South Specific Plan — up to 1,700 homes, commercial space, parks, a school and fire station — got a seven-year extension with construction required to start by 2032. No one spoke at the hearing.
