    Eight-and-a-half years after going before the Planning Commission, the Fairmont Miramar Hotel's developer will be back next Wednesday with a very different proposal to redevelop the century old hotel.

    The new 500,000-square-foot mixed-use project -- which includes 312 luxury hotel rooms, 60 condominiums and a 42-unit affordable apartment building across the street -- is nearly identical to the proposal unveiled in April 2018 by the Miramar's owner MSD Capital, L.P.

    One week before the Miramar Hotel redevelopment gets its first major hearing, a prominent slow-growth watchdog group announced it is opposing the current proposal.

    The Santa Monica Coalition for a Livable City (SMCLC) on Wednesday urged the Planning Commission to recommend that the developer redesign the project to address circulation issues and remove luxury condo units on the top floor.

    As one candidate aptly stated, “The Council will continue to be run by special interests unless residents unite for change”

    If there’s one thing we know about Unite Here Local 11, it’s that the union can usually count on its friends in the Santa Monica City Council to promote its agenda. So, it should come as no surprise that earlier this week, the Council delivered yet another win for Local 11 by voting to move forward with the “Plaza at Santa Monica” development.

    The union has long supported the Plaza

    The California Assembly is considering a bill that would require local governments to permit duplexes on parcels now largely restricted to one house, in effect eliminating single-family zoning that dominates in most suburban residential neighborhoods.

    The measure, Senate Bill 1120, is pitched as a way to ease a long-running housing shortage that has hammered low- and middle-class families throughout California but is drawing criticism from homeowners concerned it will fundamentally change their neighborhoods.

    I find myself forced to respond to Santa Monica's crackdown on "super spreader gatherings" ("Santa Monica Cracks Down on 'Super Spreader' Gatherings," August 25, 2020).

    As a housing provider, real estate Broker, former elected official and property manger in California we have tremendous responsibilities and are obligated by federal, state and local laws to be blind when it comes to providing, selling and leasing housing.

    Now we are being forced with our hands tied and watched over by zealous, aggressive local City attorneys to police the actions of our tenants.
