Group and was told the desire of the City Council to obtain
input and reaction to the report. A good discussion was
held. General consensus was that the City does have complete
control over the property and can dictate the types of uses
of the property. Commercial use was favored over residential
use but whatever the use is, the group wanted to be able to
tie it into the wetlands portion of the property. In
addition, consensus seemed to be that if the additional two
acres to the east that are owned by Balboa were made a part
of a development proposal, the project would be significantly
enhanced. Members in attendance as well as those who didn't
appear at the meeting were asked to submit comments in
writing by March 18 on what they thought were possible uses
for the property.
