Decide whether to allow casino development at Point Molate
In Plain English
The city must decide if casino development remains an option for the 270-acre Point Molate waterfront site. A 2006 lawsuit settlement requires the city to consider casino use as part of any development plans. The decision affects what types of businesses and housing can be built on the former naval fuel depot property.
