Community Development department oversees planning, building, and housing divisions along with code compliance. Nobody in those divisions are worthy of stepping up while the hiring process is ongoing.

“The city is in need of a community development director on a temporary basis for a limited duration to oversee and manage the community development department,” according to a report to the council by human resources manager Leticia Livian.

On Wednesday, the P.G. City Council OK’d an arrangement that would allow Lew Bauman to temporarily serve as the city’s community development director.

RHNA Goals Are Out Of Reach

RHNA – Newsome’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Only one thing to do, force residents that have extra unused bedrooms to rent them out to the low-income population. It’s The Substainable Thing To Do.

Rooms For Rent

The Housing Element addresses a range of housing issues such as affordability, housing types, density, and location, and establishes goals, policies and programs to address existing and projected housing needs.

Pacific Grove’s RHNA number sits at 1,125 units expected to be added by 2031, a huge challenge for a built-out city with limited space for new housing and some of the most expensive housing along the Monterey Peninsula.

As a result, Pacific Grove will be hard-pressed to provide housing at the low-income level. The state dramatically increased RHNA numbers on the city. The last RHNA requirements in the period of 2015 through 2023 were set at 115 units. From there to the current 1,125 units is an increase of 878%, with little or no explanation about why such a pronounced jump.

Planning Commision Says No To 84 Homes At NOAA Lot

To the outrage expressed by some locals when they learned that 84 housing units could be built at 1352 Lighthouse Ave. — where the landmark NOAA building stands — the Pacific Grove Planning Commission voted 7-0 last Thursday to  recommend that the town’s city council remove the  property from a list of sites where housing could be constructed.

. . .

“We certainly believe in low-cost housing,” Hauk said. “We just don’t think it’s a good idea for 1352 Lighthouse Ave.” Hauk is a co-founder of COAST, which stands for Center for Ocean, Arts, Science and Technology. The group insists the NOAA building deserves to be designated as historic and wants to see it repurposed as a science and  environmental center.

New Chiefs, weather, no tourists to prey on, one excuse after another. Police must be busy taking sensitivity training as not to offend anyone.

The department attributes the decreases to a lag in tourism, implementation of a new computer records system and the retirement of a longtime employee.

While P.G. parking enforcement issued 3,598 parking tickets during the 2022 timeframe, this year it’s issued only 2,507 — a difference of 1,091 tickets. Anderson explained why.
