The Planning Commission Hearing is April 28th at 6:30pm at HMB High School.

On March 25th, Scott Holmes had the following to say in an interview with Montara Fog:

“We had an agreement with the County and we are sticking with it.”

“The only difference,” between the old process with the consultant and the new process without, “is that I will have to help more in the organization of the document. This is also the case for the County. They will have to expend considerably more time and effort to make sure their review is thorough and the final document is professionally organized.”

“While Big Wave will contribute first round responses and organization of the document,” Holmes says, “the County will have final review and authority over every aspect of the final document…all information provided by Big Wave [will] go through a ‘filter’ and review process, as the County will have final review and authority over every aspect of the final document.”
