A developer is ready to go ahead with construction of its hotel on a portion of the long-awaited Pacific City project on Pacific Coast Highway.
The Huntington Beach Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 on Tuesday, with Commissioner Bob Dingwall dissenting and Commissioner Mark Bixby abstaining, to approve minor adjustments to the plans for the eight-story hotel, including adding tandem valet spaces in its underground parking garage and adjusting the aesthetics of the building to include a wave design.
With the go-ahead from the commission, Irvine-based developer R.D. Olson can apply for its building permits, so long as the project is not appealed to the California Coast Commission in the next 10 days.
