Dispatch from a Tourist Town
A quick report on the Ojai Valley Inn’s expansion plans, including a "shuttle path" through the bike trail.
Note to readers: an earlier version of this story stated that The Winery plans include a “parking lot named for the Chumash.” OVIS Senior Vice President Chris Kandziora clarified Dec. 6th at 5:30 p.m. that the “Chumash lot” is not part of The Winery plans, but an internal term used for another parking lot at the Inn. I regret the error.
Greetings readers!
First: I made a few updates to my last pickleball story, including statements from No on O proponent Karin Quimby and City Attorney Matthew Summers.
In other news, I attended an Ojai Planning Commission meeting yesterday evening to learn about the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa’s proposed expansion at 821 W. Ojai Ave. (the former Topa Mountain Winery). They’re calling it… The Winery.
And couldn’t resist the urge to share a few details.
