#5 Is city Hall in compliance? Tear the dump down and those city offices on the corner, relo to the underused police station and sell that nice corner property for condos and commericial. Ought to be worth a chunk of change and some income going forward. Doesn't the city own more property further down on Francisco? A parking lot? Do something with it!
ReplyDeleteRantanon @ 12:33 PM, it has more to do with defining the highway as a public safety issue. A backhanded sneaky way of providing support for the Calera Parkway.
ReplyDeleteBut the widening, if given a Coastal Development Permit by the city will undoubtedly be appealed to a higher state agency.
I'm shocked! And pleased. Just think of it, Bray. Highway widening happening in your back yard, more or less. A big hotel on The Rock would be perfect, add an expanded HIE and Maison Bray will never be the same. You're getting all the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHow's that work Todd?
ReplyDeleteThe Public hearing on adopting the State codes is something anyone planing a project for next year should pay attention to. The State is replacing our Green building codes with codes that are much more stringent and are likely to impact the cost of remodeling projects.
ReplyDeleteGood to know but unlikely anyone is planning a project bigger than a doghouse in Pacifica.
ReplyDeleteA new cat house is opening on Coast Highway 1. Some cat hotel place next to the pet hospital.
ReplyDeleteDoes the TOT apply? Cat lovers, we are poor here in Pacifica.
ReplyDelete@Anon 7:17: "a new cat house?" Would that be of the two legged or the four legged variety. I know we sorely need the revenue; perhaps we can have both.
ReplyDeleteamending the TOT ordinance to help our four legged furry freinds and their owners pay their share for muni services is something I can get behind!
ReplyDelete3:02
ReplyDeleteThat depends on how much $$ you have!
Can you say SIN Tax
ReplyDelete320 amend? aren't they calling it a hotel? does our TOT ordinance mention the species staying in the hotel?
ReplyDeleteSomeone on city council should mention to the public that Peter Loeb's lawsuit cost the city and taxpayers over $60,000!!
ReplyDeleteYeah 155, maybe Len or Mary Ann can come up with something soothing to take the edge off the 60 grand, and probably more, they blew on Measure V. By all means, trot Loeb out there. Whaddaya say?
ReplyDeleteSomeone on city council should mention to the public how much the failed Measure V cost the city and the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should tell city council that measure V was a huge failure.
ReplyDeleteNot at all sure they're all that upset or surprised. I wonder what's next.
ReplyDeleteThe city should attempt to recoup taxpayer money and at least try to sue Loeb and Bohner for costs due to their frivolous lawsuit. It may not succeed but it may at least make them think twice next time. And you know they'll be a next time. Hell why can't individual citizens take them to Small Claims Court?
ReplyDeleteYes, by all means. Let's send the City Attorney @ $600 hour or so on another wild goose chase. If there was any merit to your idea, don't you think even the possibility of it would have made Loeb and Bohner "think twice" the first time around? Living in a country of laws and personal freedoms ain't cheap! Bummer.
ReplyDeleteThe City should take care not to do anything to disprove the fundamental basis of the judge's ruling.
ReplyDeleteThat would mean not ever approving the widening project.
ReplyDeleteAt least she did more than Cecilia! At least she looked down the hall and said hey rookie you want a case. Cecilia just opened the rolodex and handed out cases like pretzels!
ReplyDelete2:34 You can sue for any reason in this country. Doesn't mean you'll be victorious, as Loeb knows.
ReplyDeleteHanding out legal work is what most city attorneys do, particularly when they work alone. Few litigate, they assign, often within their firm or to specialty firms. Outsourcing the job like we did just means the rolodex isn't in city hall anymore.
ReplyDeletePut the team to work. Get a legal opinion on whether that Cat Hotel is subject to the TOT.
ReplyDeleteGood idea 519....Under the sales tax code, Dog and Cat boarding are exempt. However, if you bring a dog to a human hotel, there normally might be an extra charge, which is taxable under TOT in some cities. Pacifica requiring a pet boarding facility to charge TOT would be pioneering. I could not find an example anywhere of this. Expect "the industry" to oppose. Pet boarding in this area ranges from $25-40 per night. Could add up to a nice chunk of change on an annual basis....
ReplyDeleteLets let the business get established before we tax it out of existence.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding! Far too controversial for us.
ReplyDelete"Lerts let the business get established before we tax it out of existence." What a strange concept; that's not how we roll in Pacifica.
