French Hotel
Description
A 70-room boutique hotel across six buildings, restoring the historic Yorba and Garcia adobes for guest rooms and dining, with a restaurant, event barn, pool courtyard, and a 66-car mechanical valet lift, approved 4-0 with Chair Moore recused.
Impact summary
Two long-closed historic adobes get restored and reopened with public access, while a hotel tucked below grade behind them brings new tourist traffic and tax revenue downtown — with parking and event-traffic questions managed through conditions and a valet plan due before occupancy.
