Everyone
wants clean water
to drink
and wants
the water that
drains into our
ocean and
lagoons to
be clean. In
the past, Del
Mar has done
a good job
of ensuring the
water that goes
into our oceans
and lagoons
is clean.
But over
the past
seven years,
the state has
mandated
a number
of changes that
have increased the
expense
for monitoring
and ensuring the
cleanliness
of the water
that is discharged
into our oceans
and lagoons.

The
agenda
for Tuesday's
Planning
Commission meeting
includes
a number
of proposed
amendments
to the
Del Mar
Municipal
Code with
the objective
of facilitating
revitalization
of the
downtown
commercial
district.
Because
such code
amendments
could
potentially
have a
significant
impact
both on
the economic
well-being
of downtown
businesses
and also
on the
village-like
character
of Del
Mar, it
is important
that a
broad
cross-section
of residents,
business
owners,
and commercial-property
owners
contribute
to the
discussion
of the
proposed
amendments.
The Planning
Commission
meeting
will begin
at 6pm
on Tuesday,
8 July,
in the
Del Mar
TV Studio.
The agenda
may be
found
on the
city's
website: www.delmar.ca.us. |

After
four years
of intensive
work, careful
restoration,
and architecturally
sensitive
additions,
the renovation
of the house
on Avenida
Primavera
originally
built by
Charles
A. Canfield
in 1910
has finally
been completed.
Known alternately
as the Canfield-Wright
House, Wrightland,
and The
Pink Lady,
this Spanish
Revival
house is
listed on
the National
Register
of Historic
Places,
and reflects
the rich
history
of Del Mar
over the
past 100
years. more>> |

From
the tone of
the recent
Planning Commission
meeting, it
sounds as
though, despite
40 to 70 (depending
on how one
counts) community
hearings on
the project,
there are
issues remaining
around the
project's
traffic impact
on its adjacent
residential
neighborhoods. more>> |
