RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA
The City Council will also act as the Planning Agency for the city until a permanent commission can be established. As the Planning Agency, members will review a number of projects that will come before the council in the future.
Kathleen Recker, the senior planner for the consulting firm Civic Solutions Inc., which will act as planning staff for the city on an interim basis, presented the council with a list of project applications submitted to the county before the city’s Jan. 1 incorporation, and the state of readiness of each project. The council will hold its first application at 5 p.m. Jan. 20, just before the regularly scheduled council meeting.
The first hearing will involve a proposal to build additional theaters, restaurants and shopping at the Town Center on Rancho Santa Margarita Parkway and La Promesa.
