Developers say those leases are vital for financing, but supervisors are now adding conditions around employee agreements and marina slip rents, prompting one developer to halt all design work and pivot to renovating the existing hotel instead. While other harbor projects like the marina and commercial zones keep moving forward, the mayor warns the lost revenue and stalled vision could hurt Dana Point’s status as a top Southern California destination. The developer calls the new demands “killing the deal,” and if the leases aren’t approved as originally agreed next month, he’ll have no choice but to stick with renovation.
