This week in community development, the city council voted unanimously to approve the vacation of Camille Street, between Reynoir and Croesus Streets, and to accept the dedication of a portion of Croesus Street at Beach Boulevard for the purpose of making access improvements to the traffic intersection. This approval also included a land swap between the City, and Pegasus Development Group LLC. which will create a contiguous lot at Reynoir and Beach Boulevard to allow the construction of a luxury hotel.
Also this week, demolition began on the former Santa Maria Del Mar structure. The demolition is expected to take 2 months, and will include removing everything except the concrete superstructure. Architectural plans are being prepared for the conversion of the structure into a luxury hotel. The hotel brand will be announced at a future date. Building plans were submitted this week for 7 new single family houses.
