Summary
Trinity is a four-story mixed-use project at 197 W Grand Avenue in Grover Beach, on a 1.03-acre site in the Coastal Visitor Serving zone beside the Union Pacific Railroad and Highway 1. The City describes it as 2,500 square feet of commercial and restaurant space and 23 homes: 16 three-story townhomes and seven condominiums above the commercial space. The applicant is Coastal Community Builders.
The Planning Commission approved Development Application 23-50 on September 3, 2024, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH 2024090149), on a 5-0 vote; the City's tracker records design approval on that date. On March 4, 2025 the Commission considered a change to the approved design (CHG-25-0001) that altered the townhomes' exterior materials, colors and wall articulation and loosened a condition on ocean-facing guardrails, with no change to the site layout. The City's tracker reports building permits issued on October 16, 2025.
The City's 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report, published in March 2026, lists Trinity as entitled, with building permits issued and under construction. The tracker, updated October 14, 2026, keeps it in the group of approved projects that are under construction or hold a permit. No completion date is published in the records reviewed. The same developer has an approved project, Beach Front Plaza, at 201-295 W Grand Avenue.
