Development Projects on This Year’s Agenda
Among the most pressing issues facing the city are proposals for four huge residential and commercial developments, completing plans for historic Casa Romantica and balancing the budget.
Lusk Holding Co. plans to develop its 250-acre Marblehead Coastal project on the city’s last large piece of coastal property. The proposal includes about 500 homes and a commercial center.
“It’s a very sensitive site and has a high visibility,” said City Councilman Steve Apodaca, adding that it is important the community is proud of the project.
The city will need to find funding to design and complete a freeway interchange at Vista Hermosa to enable access between the proposed Talega planned community and Interstate 5, City Councilman Joseph Anderson said.
Talega Associates purchased the 3,470-acre property for $31.1 million and plans to build about 5,000 homes as well as office buildings, retail centers and two golf courses.
