Good Morning Laylan
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the proposed Kelly Slater Wave Pool.
In regards to the project, I can definitely provide the same update we have been
giving to the other media, however if you have further questions please let us
know. Danny Castro, Design & Development Director would be the point person
on this for any additional details. I can schedule a time for him to chat with you
further if needed.
Below is some information regarding the 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:
600 residential units
150-room hotel
12-acre wave pool
60,000 sf of commercial uses
community garden
various recreational uses including golf practice facilities, trails and
tennis
Meriwether has submitted several applications including a Zone Change (ZC)
Page 3 of 3
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 would like to discuss further and I can look at what
works best today for Danny.
