San Clemente officials warn redevelopment ruling harms city
California Supreme Court ruling blocking state control of RDAs may strain San Clemente finances and delay Pier Bowl improvements. City Manager Scarborough cites potential impact on Casa Romantica, restrooms, drainage, housing projects, and the Land Replenishment effort while noting the General Fund could lose RDA reimbursements. RDAs yield about 2.3 million yearly in property taxes. San Clemente has funded pier sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping since 1975 and pursues a new 19 unit workforce housing project on Avenida Serra.
