Impact analysis
The purchase price is still being negotiated, so the cost to the city isn't public yet.
Residents could benefit from improved public right-of-way along San Juan Creek Road once a deal is reached.
Pedestrians, young bicyclists, and drivers near the soccer fields and golf course bear the current and potentially increased safety risk.

Speaker after speaker described speeding, kids on bikes, soccer-field parking overflow, and near-misses near the golf course — and worried that right-turn-only dealership traffic and car carriers will make it worse. The city engineer said a flashing beacon at the clubhouse intersection could be studied, but no fixes are committed yet.
City Council and Successor Agency Meeting - Sep 15, 2026
A new public-private partnership with the San Juan Hills Golf Club will bring a decomposed-granite equestrian/pedestrian trail, a separated bike lane, landscaping and permanent parking along San Juan Creek Road from Atria to Windmill Park. The club pays to build most of it; the city maintains the bike path and trail surface.
