The penalty for those who do not renew their certificates within 30 days of the due date is $50 and escalates thereafter. Don’t pay the penalty. Get your Business Certificate now. Don’t wait. See the flier below for more information.
• Golf Course Renovations: The Coronado Golf Course Clubhouse renovation has begun. Fencing was installed around the construction areas and demolition commenced this week. A snack bar has been installed on the Pro Shop side of the outdoor patio for the convenience of Golf patrons. Work is progressing smoothly. The grand opening of Feast and Fareway is slated for April of 2019.
• Design Review Commission  On Wednesday, January 9, the Design Review Commission unanimously approved the design of the Hotel del Coronado South Beach Guestrooms and Conference centers. The three-story structure would include 142 guestrooms and approximately 18,000 square feet of conference center space above a 280-space underground parking garage. The project follows the previously approved Hotel del Coronado Master Plan. It is anticipated that construction on this portion of the property would begin by the end of this year and take approximately 24 months to complete.
