Grover Beach City Council Meeting Notes: Horse Staging Area

The Grover Beach City Council held its first of many meetings towards the beginnings of the new Beach Complex at the end of Grand Ave. in the horse staging area. I am not a secretary so bare with me with the notes I took.


1. EIR should be on the Grover Beach website Dec. 15 , the library, and at City Hall for people to look at.

2. 150 room motel, a restaurant to hold 160 people, a pool with an area to hold 80 people. 180,000 sq. feet of landscape, and a total of 415 parking spaces spread over the compound, also the dump station will be moved closer to one of the parks.

3. The first choice for the horse staging area is across from Finns in the dunes. It will go from the 1 ½ acre site to a ½ acre site. They probably will not put in spaces but it was stated if they did have spaces they would hold 10-15 rigs. There is a plan “B” if the Coastal Commission does not approve of moving the staging area into the dunes, but that was not addressed during the formal meeting.

4. Sequence of events Draft EIR-December 15-January 28 (45 days)/Draft EIR comment closes February/

5. Final EIR is released March/Planning Commission Hearing March/City Council Hearing April or May/Coastal Commission hearing TBD /Coastal Development Permit TBD

6. Linda Clarke has put together a committee to answer many of the questions we all have and want to voice to the Grover Beach City Council. Another email will soon follow with contact information for these various individuals. (Individuals were picked representing the majoring of the horse groups in the county.) You may also contact the Grover Beach City Council members with your concerns. For further information you may contact Linda @
