Come Support the OB Community Plan at City Council: Jul 29 2pm

The Ocean Beach Community Plan will go before the City Council tomorrow – Tuesday, June 29, at 2pm. Please come out to show your support for OB!

The draft Community Plan represents more than a decade of work by community members and City staff, and will be the first update of OB’s community plan in nearly 40 years. While there is broad consensus for the Plan, the City Council does have an important issue to consider: whether to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendation to change the language on variances, or to retain the original language that the community and City staff agreed upon.

Meeting Location:

City Administration Building
12th Floor
202 C Street
San Diego, CA 92101

Community Plan Hearing Postponed; Tentatively Set for July 29

On Monday, June 30, the City Council voted to postpone its hearing of the Ocean Beach Community Plan.

The postponement was in reaction to late comments received from California Coastal Commission staff, who recommended many small changes to the Plan. Ultimately these revisions should help to ensure that the Plan receives quicker certification from the Coastal Commission in the future. However, the late timing of the comments means that City Planning staff need more time to evaluate the recommended changes and revise the Plan prior to the City Council hearing.

The City Council has tentatively rescheduled the OB Community Plan hearing for Tuesday, July 29. However, this is dependent upon the completion of revisions. If issues arise with any Coastal Commission comments that cause further delay, the City Council may need to postpone the hearing again.

Continue to monitor this email list for further updates. For more information, including the Coastal Commission’s recommended revisions, please visit oceanbeachplanning.org/resources/communityplan.
