City Manager's Update

Claremont City Manager Jeff Parker's weekly updates are posted each Friday on the city's website. The handy notices give an idea of what's in the works at City Hall.

Parker's most recent update welcomed the newly elected Councilmembers Linda Elderkin and Sam Pedroza, and also congratulated Peter Yao on his re-election.

Parker also noted that the Old School House renovation at Foothill Blvd. and Indian Hill Blvd. is continuing and that on Wednesday, March 28th, at 7pm, the city's Architectural Commission will be considering, among other things, a three-story, 242-space parking structure along Colby Circle, which runs parallel to Foothill.

The first level will be a below-grade basement. The second is at ground level, and the third is the roof top. According to Parker's update, when viewed from Colby Circle, the structure will appear to be a one-story building. Of course, as Village West is showing, you don't always get what the drawings seem to show.

The Architectural Commission meets in the council chambers at City Hall.
