Heated debate over two story limit delays planning vote
San Clemente planners heard hours of testimony on a proposed ban of three story downtown buildings to protect village character. Opponents warn a two story cap hurts business while supporters cite preserving small scale streets and rely on strong design review. The vote is postponed to next Wednesday at City Hall as side issues such as downtown parking subsidies and plan review methods are debated.
