San Clemente City Council Delays Decision on New Ralphs Shopping Center

According to the article “City Council Delays Decision on Village Courtyard” in the San Clemente Times, the decision on the new Ralphs shopping center located in the Southwest San Clemente real estate market has been delayed until mid-June.  An attorney filed a five page letter requesting that a Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be prepared.  According to this letter, the Mitigating Negative Declaration currently in place from May 2008 does not outline some of the changes in the design of the center, and therefore, does not assess the full environmental impact of this project.  This project as noted in one of our previous blogs, will bring a much needed full-size Ralphs and face lift to this part of town.  In addition to the Ralphs, there will be other infrastructure added, such as new retail and restaurants.  For more information, please visit the city’s website San-Clemente.org.
