Council to recognize Hometown Hero and consider an ordinance related to the design of multi-family, mixed-use projects July 11
The City Council on Tuesday, July 11 will recognize Mission Viejo's newest Hometown Hero and consider an ordinance related to the design of future multi-family and mixed-use projects, among other business.
The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 pm in the City Council Chamber, 200 Civic Center.
Council Members will recognize resident Michael Block with the City’s Hometown Hero Award. Initiated in 1996, the award is designed to identify and recognize folks whose noble qualities and personal achievements make them heroes worthy of our admiration. Michael has certainly garnered the admiration of many throughout the nation when he made history at the May 2023 PGA Championship with a hole-in-one during the final round. Michael, who is a PGA club pro and instructor at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club, became the first PGA club pro to make a hole-in-one at the PGA Championship since George Bowman in 1996. He went on to finish the tournament in a tie for 15th place at 1-over par. Michael has made the cut five times while competing in 25 PGA events dating back 16 years.
In addition to recognizing Mission Viejo's Hometown Hero, the Council will consider an ordinance to provide a set of clear, objective, and measurable design standards to potential developers of multi-family residential and mixed-use projects to ensure that structures feature high-quality designs that maintain the architectural character of the City.
Council Members will also discuss the development of feasibility studies to research private and public financing sources for possible constructions of a parking structure to serve the Marguerite Recreation Center, Oso Creek Golf Course, Oso Creek Trailhead and a performing arts theater.
In other news, the Council will recognize volunteers who have generously donated their time and efforts to serve the homeless animals at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center.
