Yearly EEO Reports Pacifica designated agent to receive notice of claimed infringements By: Andrew Nelson 5:30 am on April 25 Preliminary plans have been filed for Coastal Crest Residences, a potential residential redevelopment of the Pacifica Quarry Site by Rockaway Beach. The builder’s remedy-assisted application looks to create a new residential neighborhood of over a thousand affordable units pushed back from the San Mateo County coastline The project is a joint venture led by Paul Heule’s Michigan-based company The current application looks to designate all 1,021 units as affordable housing though 80% of all units will be deed-restricted as affordable to moderate-income households and 20% of units will be affordable to low-income households The initial plan set looks to add 21 buildings Full build-out will create just of a million square feet of floor area with 988,000 square feet for housing and 25,000 square feet for retail Garages built across the site will provide capacity for 1,286 cars of which 90 will be for commercial visitors BAR Architects & Interiors is listed as the project architect While architectural details have not been published the site map shows some information about the urban planning the largest of which is two massive apartment buildings elevated on Blocks 1A and 1B The smallest form is the 10 structures occupying Block 3 which appear more similar to townhouse-style complexes The highest point for construction will be added in Block 5 with two structures looking to replace the hilltop Labyrinth near Mori Point The 86-acre site is located just off Highway 1 between the small Rockaway Beach enclave and the Pacifica neighborhood next to Sharp Park Golf Course Future residents would be a 35-minute bus ride away from the Daly City BART Station Paul Heule is responsible for the application filing through Preserve @ Pacifica The estimated timeline for approval and construction has yet to be established The developer has invoked the Builder’s Remedy to streamline the approval process a

Facebook Follow YIMBY’s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews I always thought that was a park or nature preserve I know that your boy Scotty is trying to destroy the Coastal Commission and I am sure that they will have something to say about this every project proposed for this site has failed for the last thirty years This site needs to be added to the GGNRA and the threat removed for good While I appreciate increasing our housing supply this area is effecively a public park and nature preserve Pacifica should consider upzoning to densify their commerical corridors instead of sprawl building on that cliff seems like a dangerous The state is currently pushing managed retreat from the ocean I never thought I’d say this on this site — I don’t support this development I think the state of California should buy this land and set it aside for preservation I was looking at a satellite map of SF and thinking a similar thing about Twin Peaks Imagine if the entire Twin Peaks area had been left alone as a huge central wilderness Instead there is a bunch of low density track housing mixed in called “Forest Knolls” The city of SF should never have allowed that and instead just been 5% denser in the surrounding area I’m referring to the octagon-shaped area surrounded by Market Could have been an incredible urban wilderness with views for hiking and mountain biking It’s still fun to hike/walk around that area Traffic is already impossible on Cabrillo on a busy beach day NO to Michigan developers trying to make a quick buck on California coastal property Read the chapter about Pacifica in the book “California against the Coast” to really understand one the biggest reasons for not supporting this development (in addition to the impact of traffic on HWY 1) in an area that should be set aside for preservation Affordable housing on the beach will be allowed but if it were market rate/for those who can afford it I cannot believe that they want to add to the traffic

remain knotted atop the Channel League standings after each picked up key wins Tuesday afternoon Ventura finished sixth in the Channel League last year and fourth the year before as injuries riddled its talented roster Ventura head coach Anthony Espitia said his seniors are eager to clinch their first league crown since winning the Pacific View League as freshmen Ventura’s last Channel League crown was in the 2016-17 season “They have been talking about it since Day 1,” Espitia said We call it bookend — they won it as freshmen and now they are trying to win league as seniors.” Ventura stayed on course to reach that goal with a 4-2 victory over Dos Pueblos on the road Tuesday which came on the back of yet another dominant showing from pitcher Wylan Nelson The senior got his eighth win of the season two walks and two earned runs in the victory Ventura struck first on an RBI single from Caleb Sebek in the first inning Senior Josh Woodworth delivered the knockout blow in the top

9-3 loss to Santa Barbara Santa Barbara took a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in top of the second inning then added two more runs in the third when Zeke Adderley sent a homer over the centerfield fence Devon Wilkes answered with a double to send Bobby Ramirez home from first base making it 3-1 heading into the top of the fourth inning But Pacifica was no match for Santa Barbara’s consistent hitting as the Dons scored at least one run from the second inning through the sixth On what was an otherwise dismal day of offense for Pacifica Pacifica's other two runs came on a double from JJ Carmona Bobby Ramirez had a pair of singles in his four at-bats he is the best hitter in the county,” Urias said of Wilkes Though disappointed to be on the outside of the Channel League title race the Tritons

Instagram TrendingResidentialSan FranciscoADevelopers invoke builder’s remedy for 1K homes in PacificaCoalition led by Paul Heule would build atop 86-acre abandoned limestone quarry A coalition of international developers have invoked the state builder’s remedy to push through plans to build more than 1,000 affordable homes atop a former limestone quarry in Pacifica The owners of the Rockaway Quarry have filed plans to build 1,021 homes west of the Pacific Coast Highway and Reina del Mar Avenue, the San Francisco Business Times reported The 86-acre abandoned quarry is owned by Preserve at Pacifica a limited liability company not listed in state business records who said the city has been battling housing at the site for three decades The project, dubbed Coastal Crest Residences, is backed by the Paul Heule-owned Eenhoorn a multifamily developer based in the Netherlands or affordable homes geared toward middle-class families that include cops and would comprise 80 percent of the homes Another 20 percent would be set aside for low-income households The developers didn’t say what kinds of homes they planned to build A cost and timeline for the project were not disclosed so this project feels long overdue,” Heule told the Business Times a decades-old loophole in state housing law allows developers to bypass local zoning rules in cities and counties that failed to certify their state housing plans provided they include 20 percent affordable housing SIGN UPThe coastal city of Pacifica must plan to build 1,892 homes by 2031 The deadline to have certified its state-mandated housing element was Jan The gap has opened the door to builder’s remedy applications The project is part of a broad plan to address a housing shortage in San Mateo County county officials discussed plans to develop affordable housing on up to a dozen properties from South San Francisco to Redwood City Heule has for years tried to redevelop the Rockaway Quarry In 2016, he pitched a plan to build 200 apartments shops and restaurants and a concert amphitheater Pacifica voters previously turned down plans to build homes on the site in 2001 and 2006 Last month, the State Mining and Geology Board rejected an appeal by Heule of a decision by the Pacifica City Council to reject development plans for the Rockaway Quarry site the city denied the permits for the project which would fill the 200-year-old quarry with hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of dirt — Dana Bartholomew COASTSIDE BUZZ more commonly known as “benthic marine debris” or “non-buoyant marine debris” is flotsam and jetsam’s lesser known sibling I noticed a large quantity of highly unusual marine debris fouling a beach In the ensuing years I have returned to that cove many times to collect that unusual debris.Soon I realized that it was not floating in but persistently being regurgitated through a crack in the reef from the ocean bottom Intrigued by this seemingly unknown process Ibecame obsessed.In the last twenty years I have returned to the cove a thousand times and encountered about 500 productive collecting events I would fully document the beach conditions in the cove when a regurgitation event had occurred Taking the treasures home I would photograph them all and then store them in banker boxes in an outbuilding At some point I began creatingartplay pieces with the objects leading me to research the dynamics of this “most unique” phenomenon seacreature corpses and innumerable ocean agates colorful quartz pebbles  etc.).Why did it come up here and not elsewhere? How long had it been on that silent procession? Why did the makeup of different regurgitations vary so much? and so many other questions demanded answers I have many possible answers to those questions I would like to share with the scientifically-oriented. But the “art supplies” in my many pieces provide the answers just as clearly.  Here are some of the artplay pieces I have created: Art Project Folders 2 three years into a battle with Wet Macular Degeneration that threatens to blind me despite innumerable shots into my eyes I realize I must start the process of finding homes for my art andsharing the insights into the dynamics of the processes that brought its components into my hands If you have a home for any of John’s Art Play pieces, you can contact him at: [email protected] P.S.

you and your family Minivans are among the most useful types of vehicles on the road today Here are nine of the best used minivans you’ll find for less than $20,000 Hard Knock Radio I hope this one survives for another generation I got to test out the last thing I’d ever think of driving on the road — a minivan but the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid surprises me in more ways than one The problem is that it’s the only vehicle that Chrysler currently sells — at least for the 2024 model year — and I think it’s the last great minivan but you can shave off several thousands by going with the Select trim that costs $51,055 While a minivan would be last on my preference list of what I’d buy myself driving this PHEV for a week makes me realize it’s a lot more luxurious than some of the EVs I’ve tested in the last year In my week’s worth of driving the 2024 Chrysler Pacific Hybrid Pinnacle I accumulated a total of 226.9 miles between its gas and all-electric driving power This breaks down to 54.3 miles on gas-hybrid driving while the remaining 172.6 miles were completed with nothing more than all-electric power That’s because on Level 1 charging the Chrysler Pacifica takes an inordinate amount of time It took 18 hours and 46 minutes to go from 16% to 95% whereas the Lexus RX 450h+ took me around 10 to 12 hours to charge its battery I found a couple of free Level 2 chargers around me that helped me to keep the battery at a decent level during my testing One thing I didn’t expect getting into the Chrysler Pacifica for the first time is how luxurious it is on the inside it looks like your ordinary minivan to pick up the kids from practice but the premium looking interior space caught me by surprise because that’s the last thing I’d expect from a minivan of all things Other EVs and PHEVs I’ve tested don’t give the passenger seats as much attention as Chrysler devotes to the Pacifica there are monitors built into the back of the front seats — allowing passengers in the back to enjoy their favorite TV shows and movies while on the go I know sunroofs are quite common in today’s crossovers and SUVs but the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle features one that’s just as sprawling Rather than just your typical glass top that only the front passenger can see out of there’s a dual-pane panoramic sunroof that’s visible to every passenger inside of the minivan — including the third row Not only does it give you a peek to the sky above but the front section can also open up to let in some fresh air during summer months Another small detail that Chrysler throws in to make the Pacifica feel more like a luxury car are the dynamic headlights that illuminate based on where you’re turning Somewhat like the adaptive headlights in the Ford F150 Lighting that project lights in the direction you’re driving the Pacifica’s implementation is a little different because it illuminates the corresponding fog lights underneath the headlights when turning This allows me to see more of the road where I’m turning to rather than what’s strictly in front of me By now I’ve been accustomed to seeing monitors replacing the cluster gauge panels in older vehicles the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle blends the old and new technologies together with a sharp looking cluster panel above the steering wheel I personally like the physical clusters that show me my speed and the gas tank level while the display that flanks the cluster gauges works like any other modern display for additional details — like for navigation my eyes love the piercing blue glow of the cluster gauge display For families that intend to carry around everyone the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle gives the driver eyes on all passengers through the various cameras littered all around the interior space This reduces the need to constantly turn around to see for yourself since you can instantly get a bird’s eye view by accessing the interior cameras through the main touchscreen display Just like other plug-in hybrids I’ve tested, such as the Mazda CX90 the Chrysler Pacifica drives really nice on all-electric power — like the acceleration from a complete stop goes in one fluid motion I can tell that it has a tougher time accelerating on gas-hybrid power I think it’s great that it accelerates much like any other EV it’s wonderful that I can lean into the Chrysler Pacifica's all-electric power right from startup I notice that it goes through the battery a lot faster than I’d like In one stretch of driving on the highway and a few local roads the battery’s range dropped substantially — from a starting tally of 32 miles to 15 miles Perhaps it could be the result of turning up the heat way up during the drive along with activating the heated seats and steering wheel I was frequently charging the battery much more than other PHEVs which also applies any necessary braking and acceleration while driving but I still have to steer the wheel to get the Pacifica going in the right direction — as opposed to how other cars stay in the middle of the lane on their own with their respective lane keep assist features It’s a shame that the Pacifica is the only vehicle that Chrysler makes commercially But despite only offering car shoppers a single model the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle opens my eyes to what a modern day minivan can offer but that minivan still has a higher starting cost than the Pacifica — and it’s nowhere as premium as this He’s no stranger in this area having covered mobile phones and gadgets since 2008 when he

The Tritons (11-4) advance to the state bowl game next Friday at 4 p.m. against Sacramento Grant at Saddleback College. “Our special teams early in the year, especially against Inglewood, was atrocious and there’s no reason for it because we practice it so much,” Moon said. “We watched film of Narbonne and thought we could take advantage of that.” Anthony Macias knifed through the line to block a punt at the goal line, and Max Magana recovered the ball in the end zone to give Pacifica a 14-6 lead late in the first quarter. On its next possession, Narbonne was forced to punt from its own 25-yard line and this time Deon Hasley got the block. Magana pounced on the loose ball at the 22 and, four plays later, Isaac Magana kicked a 32-yard field goal to put the home team ahead 17-6. “Coach Moon takes pride in special teams, and so when I saw them on the floor, I had to pick them up,” said Max Magana, a nickel back who also had five pass breakups on defense. “I like when I’m tested in the secondary. Now we have to keep our foot on the pedal and make sure that we win next week.” Narbonne pulled to within 17-14 on Jamari Todd’s five-yard touchdown run and Jaden O’Neal’s conversion run, but Pacifica marched 66 yards in 12 plays and Isaac Magana booted his second field goal — a 23-yarder — as time expired and the Tritons took a 20-14 lead into halftime. After recovering a fumble on a pooch kick, Pacifica tacked on a 21-yard field goal by Isaac Magana — his third of the night — to make it a 17-point margin with 4:06 left. One week after throwing for 396 yards and six touchdowns while running for another score in the City Section Open Division final versus San Pedro, Oklahoma-bound junior O’Neal was pressured all night and completed 14 of 32 passes for 199 yards. His longest throw was a 65-yard touchdown to Tre’Shaun Jackson in the first quarter. Senior receiver Michael Ashford had five catches for 53 yards for Narbonne. “We wanted to pressure him with our four-man front and put them into guaranteed pass situations,” Moon said. “This team is battle-tested and we’ve won eight in a row. Our schedule has 100% contributed to us being where we are.” The Tritons are one win away from a second state bowl championship, having won the 2-A title in 2019 to complete a 15-1 season two weeks after claiming the Southern Section Division 6 crown under Moon. That season Pacifica beat another City Section team, Birmingham, in the regional bowl. This might well be Moon’s most talented team. The Tritons (11-4) avenged a Marmonte League setback to St. Bonaventure to capture the Southern Section Division 4 title last week. Their other three losses are to schools in higher divisions. The Gauchos (7-7) ended the season 1-3 on the field against Southern Section opponents, losing to Los Alamitos, Culver City and Pacifica while beating L.A. Cathedral — a result that was changed to a forfeit defeat after an investigation determined Narbonne used ineligible players. The Gauchos are banned from the playoffs next year. Asked if he’ll finish his prep career at Narbonne, O’Neal said he did not know. “I’m not sure — I’ll speak with our coaching staff in the exit meetings,” O’Neal said. “The odds were stacked against us but we proved people wrong. We felt confident coming out of the half but ultimately they out-disciplined us. We’re more athletic, but the little things added up and we couldn’t overcome our mistakes.” It remains to be seen how many players will return. “Jaden is a gamer and did everything we expected of him,” said Gauchos coach Malcolm Manuel, who thanked his players for their commitment. “I’ve had Mark Iheanachor for four years, he gave it everything he had and I’m excited to follow his career at SMU.” High School Sports Despite standout efforts from Shane Rosenthal and Brady Smigiel, Newbury Park can’t hold back San Diego Lincoln in a 34-27 loss. As for next fall, Manuel is confident the returning players will buy in. “They’ll for sure compete,” he said. “We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores. Playing a 10-game season — which we didn’t get to do this year — is the motivation. We’ll get back to the drawing board.” Narbonne had 24 players transfer into the program since spring ball, prompting all four league opponents to forfeit their games against the Gauchos and allege rule violations. Seven players were declared ineligible for the postseason. California Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map
