The city is considering a proposal to redevlop the 52-year-old Beachcomber Motel and neighboring Robison home into a luxury resort hotel for the Pier Bowl.
For “We need a destination resort. It would be the only one we have on the beach with an ocean view. That area was declared a blight needs to start somewhere to have a firm economic base.”-- Sally Jelsy, President of the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce
Against “To lose our small-town indenity by razing historic structures would be a mistake. The proposed hotel, which would be crammed into the space of two quaint buildings, can’t compete with resorts featuring golf courses and tennis courts.”-- Jay Gummerman, Board member with the Spanish Village Heritage Group
