“I think she was asking if all the residents who live in each household had signed those, but it doesn't sound like that's a requirement. It's just the property owner?”

“okay i have a few questions first of all i think this is neighbor issues are always the worst i mean i think it's really just a bummer that neighbors can't can't come together to try and find a resolution and a solution and so i mean it would be great if all of you could come together and actually sit and share a meal together and find a pathway where maybe you would all don't get everything you want but maybe you get some of what you want and so I would just challenge you even whatever happens today maybe just sit down together for a meal and have like a real human conversation because these…”

“Okay. So there was some concession on the original application to now include Bike Ped Equestrian in the new part, in the new application. Okay. And then is there a reason why it didn't go back to the MAC again this time around?”

“OK. I think one of the things I've painfully learned myself is that sometimes just doing the bare minimum isn't always the best and sometimes we can do more and go above and beyond and i think this is this is probably one where we could have gone out and and more and and maybe some of these things could have been resolved maybe not maybe we sort of landed in the same that that optimistic person in me wants to say no would have been resolved that and but i do think i would i would request and recommend that in the future and i mean I can understand from a staff perspective why this time it may…”

“OK, and we have a motion by D Matea in a second by Gustafson. Before we take a roll call vote, I just want to say this is this has been a really challenging one and and I really understand both perspectives. I can. I feel both sides and I get it. I really do and. I think there are some valid concerns around what's going to happen when that road gets closed. Where are those people going to park? They're going to end up getting pushed out onto another road. There really is no perfect solution. I want you to know that clearly it was not an easy one. We've been going back and forth for a little…”

“Alright, with that I will close the public comment and bring it back to the board for questions. Well, I have a few. So I sent these to you all ahead of time and, well, actually forgot again the public comment question. Some of mine were the same as theirs. So why don't you go ahead and answer. I know there was one around the loan and the cost of construction. I don't know if you want to speak to those. Sure.”

“I think there was one question. I know it's not directly related to this, but there was one question on the roundabout conversation and where that is right now. I was wondering if you could speak to that.”

“Okay, thank you. So the other questions I had are, if the project doesn't have any residual income in any given year, Does the county receive no loan payment that year? And do we have a projection showing how much to realistically expect the county to receive each year?”
Board of Supervisors · Aug 25, 2026

“Okay. And so could we theoretically go 5, 10, or 20 years without receiving any payments?”

“Okay. And then what happens if at year 55 the project hasn't generated enough residual receipts to repay the loan?”

“Okay, I don't see any additional questions at this time from board members. So now would be your time to chime in. Supervisor Gore.”

“Okay, before we take a vote, I just had a couple of thoughts I wanted to share. So I voted no on the original request that came forward, and I think I was pretty clear for my reasons why it had everything to do with the density and the size of the project. And I still am not supportive of the larger project. Because of the lawsuit, this has now been broken into two phases. And so this phase is 131... 33? 31. 32. Okay.”

“To me, that's fair. I would be thrilled if that was the end of this project. I know that that probably isn't happy news for the developer of this, but to me that's appropriate. It's a little bigger than what I would hope for Penryn, but I think that's appropriate for the community of Penryn. And I would prefer no subsidies. I'm a free market person, but we don't live in a free market in California, unfortunately. And so we're in a position where we have some affordable housing dollars that are coming in from Bigford. They can be used for this project and I'm supportive of using the funds for…”
