EPS Kicks Off Temecula’s General Plan Update
Andrew Williams

EPS recently joined a multi-disciplinary consultant team led by De Novo Planning Group to kick off the City of Temecula’s General Plan Update, a planning process that will provide a blueprint for the City’s growth over the next 20 plus years.

As part of the General Plan team, EPS will provide an analysis of existing socioeconomic, demographic, and real estate market conditions; conduct a fiscal impact analysis of land use alternatives; and support the development of a new Economic Development Element. Our work will help the City plan for fiscally sustainable growth, identify opportunities for economic development, and align land use policies with long-term community goals.

EPS is proud to support the City of Temecula—one of Southern California’s most dynamic communities—in laying the groundwork for a resilient and thriving future.

EPS Analysis Informs City of Sebastopol Approval of Hotel Project
Jason Moody

An EPS fiscal impact analysis was a key factor in the Sebastopol City Council’s recent approval of an 83-room boutique hotel project planned adjacent to the popular Barlow Market. When completed, the so-called Barlow Hotel will provide upscale amenities including, spa facilities, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar located a few blocks from the city’s downtown.

The EPS analysis found that the project would likely have a highly positive  impact on the City’s General Fund, driven largely by transient occupancy tax revenue. The analysis also supported the City’s negotiations with the developer, including discussions around development impact fee waivers. The project was approved by the City Council on April 15 and is expected to boost local tourism, business activity, and economic growth.
