Development agreement accountability

Stockton

Summary

The city's ten master development agreements all passed their 2025 compliance check, but commissioners grilled staff on why Mariposa Lakes — a nearly 3,800-acre project pending since 2008 — can submit a two-line annual response and remain compliant, and why Spanos Park West hasn't fully answered information requests.
