Summary: Monday, February 10, 2014 Tomorrow, the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors will both be holding regular meetings. In Santa Cruz County, the Board will consider a proposed 40-unit senior housing development at 2500 Soquel Avenue, in the Live Oak Planning Area. The proposal is to divide an approximately 3-acre parcel of land on which St. Stephens Lutheran Church now stands. Two parcels would be created, one of 1.28 acres, on which the church would continue to exist, and one of 1.79 acres, on which the 40 new senior housing units would be constructed. In Monterey County, the Board will be taking a lunchtime tour of the Firestone Business Park and Encore Recycling facility, located at 340 El Camino Real in Salinas. Members of the public can also take the tour. While I didn’t see any reference to this on the Board’s online agenda, as of the time I recorded today’s Land Use Report, open space activists who care about the future development of Fort Ord think that the Board may be going to consider the sale of the Whispering Oaks property and other habitat parcels during their meeting tomorrow. If you care about that possibility, check with the Board of Supervisors. You may want to attend the meeting, or communicate with your representatives.
