Madam Mayor and Council,Please see talking points for the wave project:
The project is located directly west of the Andalusia Country Club development,
south of Avenue 58 and west of Madison Street.
The project consists of approximately:
o 600 residential units
o 150-room hotel
o 12-acre wave pool
o 60,000 sf of commercial uses
o community garden
o various recreational uses including golf practice facilities, trails and tennis
Meriwether has submitted several applications including a Zone Change (ZC)
o ZC proposes to add Tourist Commercial and Recreation uses to the current
Low Density Residential, Golf Course and Neighborhood Commercial uses
and remove the Golf Course use
The applications are in completeness review, where staff reviews the submitted
application and makes sure they have given us all the required materials.
Meriwether is in the process of preparing special studies to support their
environmental documentation, including biological, cultural, air quality, noise and
traffic studies and a water supply assessment.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is being prepared to comply with CEQA.
The project will go to Planning Commission and City Council for final decision since
a GPA, ZC and SP are requested.
Anticipated to go to public hearings late 2020/early 2021.
Please let me know if you need any additional detail.
Regards
