Summary
Three development sites — AOA West (Paloma), Restaurant Row, and the Sierra site — were annexed into a new improvement area of the citywide lighting/landscaping/preserve district. Landowners in a special election unanimously approved the special tax, and future projects can now join the same district over time instead of running their own separate processes.
