There are two meetings of city bodies in Twentynine Palms this week. Dan Stork relates what the City Council and the Oversight Board for the successor to the dissolved Redevelopment Agency will be talking about…
On Tuesday August 27, the Twentynine Palms City Council will hear an update on the status of the Route 62 improvement project. It will also consider waiving additional fees for the Condor apartment project. (Recently, the Planning Commission refused to waive fees for plan revisions, but left the door open for the Council to take a different action.) The Council will also discuss revising the way the City assesses development, in general. The meeting starts at 6 pm in chambers at City Hall on Adobe Road. On Wednesday, August 28, the Oversight Board to the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Twentynine Palms Redevelopment Agency meets at 4 p.m. On its agenda are the seating of a new board member and agency and legislative updates. Also up for discussion is the long range property management plan for four parcels at Bullion Avenue and Route 62, which the City had bought in order to rehabilitate them. The properties were transferred to the Redevelopment Agency in 2009 with the hope of attracting a restaurant tenant. That never happened, and the City wants to transfer them back to City ownership for eventual park development, and to avoid having to liquidate them. The Oversight Board also meets at City Hall.
