Commission denies zoning change for proposed Gardens development – City of MV
Posted on April 12th, 2022
The Planning and Transportation Commission on Monday voted unanimously to deny ValueRock Realty’s zone change request for the Gardens property at the corner of La Paz and Marguerite.
Commissioners essentially said the proposed change to the City’s zoning code does not fit the overall character of this City.
“We are all here to keep Mission Viejo great,” said Chairman Joe Blum. Vice Chairman Andrew Quinio echoed those sentiments.
“We are and should be recognizably Mission Viejo,” he said.
The Planning and Transportation Commission’s denial came after the City Council in March voted to speed up the zoning aspect of the proposed development through the public hearing process.
The City Council will now formally consider the Planning and Transportation Commission’s recommendations during its May 10 meeting. That meeting will begin at 6 pm in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center. City Council meetings are streamed live on the City’s website and air on Cox Channel 30 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99.
