Notable quote: “Growth in San Juan has been unbalanced, leaning heavily toward large single-family homes. Future growth needs to be focused on/prioritized on boosting San Juan’s economy, addressing infrastructure concerns & medium to high-density affordable housing.” (Source: BenitoLink)
From Benito Link...
The consent agenda for the San Juan Bautista City Council meeting on April 15, which ordinarily would be passed with little comment, proved to be the source of a lengthy discussion over several issues, particularly street closure times for the April 25 Rib Cookoff.
As negotiations over countywide fire protection services continue for a fourth month under a new City Council, the city of Hollister is proposing a new deal to San Juan Bautista and San Benito County.
Lacking a quorum for its April 7 meeting, members of a San Juan Bautista city council committee dealing with growth informally discussed changes to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the city and the San Benito County Board of Supervisors.
San Benito County is moving forward with plans to clear homeless encampments along the San Benito River in the third week of April. The effort will involve the cities of Hollister and San Juan Bautista, following an agreement reached on April 2. The San Benito High School District will also participate in future collaborative work between the agencies.
The complications of maintaining San Juan Bautista’s historic look and feel were fully displayed during a hybrid meeting of the city’s Historic Resources Board and Planning Commission. The main topic of discussion was… paint.
