San Clemente Homeless Shelter Vote Update: "...error in judgment..."

San Clemente Homeless Shelter Vote Update: "...error in judgment..."

San Clemente, CA: An emergency public forum brought to light truth, confusion, and misinformation on the pending Rancho San Clemente homeless shelter.

After our original story was posted just over a week ago, we received an overwhelming response from the community. Many individuals were surprised or frustrated that an escrow had been opened with a homeless shelter operator without a public announcement. Others we spoke with were not aware their vote was needed before escrow can close. Multiple business park members even stated they had thrown their ballots away without realizing what was going on.

New Homeless Shelter In Escrow On Pico Land By Business Park

New Homeless Shelter In Escrow On Pico Land By Business Park

San Clemente, CA: 10 acres of land along Avenida Pico are currently in escrow to with the Emergency Shelter Coalition. This non-profit group previously was involved in a lawsuit with the City of San Clemente in 2014 regarding the ongoing homeless situation.

The two land parcels (APN #688-011-01 and #688-011-02) are owned by the Rancho San Clemente Business Park Association. The sale is contingent upon a passing vote from Rancho San Clemente commercial property owners that would allow the two parcels to be removed from the current “Open Space – Private” zoning and business park CC&Rs.
