Another Awesome Video!

Sometimes I google "Los Osos Sewer" just to see what will come up. This time, a months old video popped up! Since a sewer is coming to my block in a few weeks, this gave me an audio and a visual as to what to expect. Thank you Tom Bauman!

Allocation Extension Amendment Introduction

Off the Consent Agenda for the BOS meeting on May 7, 2013:

Items Set for Hearing:

1. Introduction of an amendment to the Growth Management Ordinance, Title 26 of the County Code, to update the fiscal year references for the maximum number of new dwelling units allowed for the Nipomo Mesa area for Fiscal Year 2013-2014 and extension of the allocation waiting list for Los Osos. Hearing date set for May 21, 2013. Districts 2 & 4.*

The sewer project will not being completed by the date the last allocation extension for building was set to expire, so this has caused the need for another date extension. The allocation to be on this waiting list is described by the County as,

"1) no dwelling units are available and an allocation request is submitted to get on a waiting list; for example, the Los Osos moratorium area"

"To process an allocation to be placed on a waiting list, a “Request for Allocation” application must be completed and submitted. A $594.00 non-refundable fee must be submitted with the application for each new proposed residential unit."
