Ose's Natomas project delayed

The Ose family’s proposed mixed-use project in North Natomas is no longer on the fast track and has been pulled from the Sacramento City Council’s Tuesday agenda.
“The project’s still alive,” said David Hung, a city associate planner working on the Natomas Landing project.
But developer Doug Ose has informed the city he will no longer try to beat a December deadline to pull building permits before new federal flood rules require costly construction changes, Hung said.
Instead, the city staff and Ose will take the time for a more thorough review and any necessary revisions, Hung said. The project could return to the Planning Commission and City Council late this early or early next year, he added.
Wendy Hoyt, Doug Ose's spokeswoman, could not be reached for comment.
Work began on Ose’s estimated $200 million project of retail and office space and hotels in mid-August, but was halted the very next day after city officials discovered a building permit for the project had been issued in error.
In response to concerned residents, Ose in July scaled back the retail portion of the project by 29 percent to include hotels and more offices.
Ose, a former Congressman, and his father, Enlow, have been revamping plans since 1999 for their nearly 70-acre site at the northeast corner of Del Paso Road and El Centro Road in North Natomas.
