Please read the following. Letters need to be into the City of Grover Beach by Jan. 28th.
Members of the Central Calf. Coastal Community,
In case you have not heard the City of Grover Beach is collaborating with the State park officials in planning a Lodge and Conference Center (LCC) at the corner of Grand and Hwy 1. The complex will take both sides of the street from Hwy 1 to the ocean. The State Park will lease this land to a Developer for 50 year increments.
We became aware of this plan because Ride Nipomo Equestrian group was paying attention and noticed that they were reducing the number of parking spaces for horses. After reviewing the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) we noticed they were reducing all parking and limiting everyone’s access to the beach. The LCC will have a large parking lot for their guests.
We are not happy that this development is removing areas devoted for public State Park Lands and leasing it to a commercial developer in an area which is growing rapidly and needs more parking spaces not less. We are concerned about using public park land to build a commercial resort.
The project does not show adequate horse parking, motor home parking, or parking for local citizens who wish to access the beach. This concerns us about the overall planning for this proposed project. The idea of removing public State Park areas from public use is unacceptable. This issue limits access to the beach, and our land and park will be gone. Where will the dog walkers, joggers, walkers, bike riders, and horse riders park?
The deadline for submission is January 28, 2011. You can e-mail or send regular mail. The state must address every concern sent to the addressee below:
