Top issues during term (6)(Development)
Monterey Bay Shores Resort Development Agreement
The city gains new fees, a patrol vehicle contribution, construction sales tax share, and ongoing service funding through a new Community Facilities District.
Opportunity Zones 2.0 Census Tract Nomination
No immediate cost to the general fund; the designation could attract private investment.
Monterey Bay Shores Resort Development Agreement
No net cost to the city — the developer reimburses review costs, and the city gains fees and a new CFD funding stream.
housing development
More apartments could ease rent pressure and bring permit or fee revenue, but the city will also face costs for streets, utilities, and services.
housing policy recognition
The label could help Sand City qualify for state housing grants and incentives, potentially stretching local dollars further—but it won’t directly pay for new homes on its own.
coastal development permit
The permit outcome could shape the developer’s costs and timeline, and eventually affect city revenue and public coastal access—but the source doesn’t put a dollar figure on it.
