Future of the Triangle Property
Summary
The long-vacant dirt lot at Hallock Drive and Telegraph Road is the first thing many visitors see entering Santa Paula, and it's been a magnet for unauthorized parking and homeless activity. Local business owner Xavier Maignan pitched a destination concept — EV charging, food, a farmers market, and events — and the council will now negotiate privately with him on price and terms.

Impact analysis
Any eventual sale or development deal could bring revenue and new business activity to a currently non-taxproducing vacant lot, but terms are still being negotiated behind closed doors.
If a deal comes together, residents and travelers gain an improved gateway entrance to town, plus new dining, retail, and EV-charging amenities.
None identified at this stage, though neighbors could face construction impacts depending on what is ultimately approved.
