Salinas shelter opens ahead of El Niño | Potential clemency for Monterey County murder cases

The 50-bed shelter will open its doors ahead of an expected aggressive El Niño winter. People will be housed at the Chinatown Navigation Center, which closed in April. Lisa Murphy is an assistant city manager for Salinas. "It's this massive El Niño that's coming through. People need shelter. So rather than take it down as planned we are reopening it just for this inclement weather shelter."

New Paso Robles gym takes over longtime favorite. See what's different

The weights at Paso Robles Ironworks Gym have called the property home for 25 years — but now the gym around them is completely refreshed. Vintage remnants of the Life Fitness brand are scattered throughout the 5,000 square foot gym at 580 Linne Road One wouldn’t guess these were the same machines that were once used at former and beloved tenant Iron Jungle — the equipment now sporting brand-new seats, no longer purple, ripped and duct taped. Some 350 gallons of new paint cover the walls. And the bathrooms are finished off with doors, not curtains. “I don’t need to hear what’s going on in there,” Ironworks co-owner David Grubman said with a laugh. Grubman opened the gym with his business partner Sheela Hilton on Nov. 1, replacing the longtime tenant Iron Jungle that had provided community for Paso Robles bodybuilders for more than two decades. The two wanted to create an open and comfortable space for gym rats and newbies, alike. Hilton brought a new element of design to the new space, Grubman said, pointing out her implementation of “Paso Robles crimson red” throughout the gym. “We really wanted to create this open, approachable space. Whereas before, it was

Paso Robles is ripping out some of its grassy areas. Here's why

Paso Robles will have fewer grassy spaces after the city announced its plans to remove nonfunctional turf from its lawns. This decision was in light of California’s decision to ban cities from using potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf on public agency properties by New Year’s Day, a city news release said. Private residential yards are not subject to the nonfunctional turf ban, the release said, but some city-maintained grass parkways in residential neighborhoods may be affected. Recreational areas such as parks and athletic fields are also unaffected by the change to the California Water Code. According to the release, the city evaluated about 65 acres of its maintained landscaping that might be considered “nonfunctional.” Of those acres, only about 1.5 were meeting the legal definition under the state’s new ban. “The law does not require or provide funding for turf replacement,” the release said. “The city is planning landscape improvements in phases, with replacement designs tailored to available funding.” In September, the City Council adopted an ordinance modifying the city’s water conservation regulations to incorporate the 2023 law AB 1572 , which prohibited drinking water irrigation of nonfunctional turf such as decorative grass in street medians and narrow roadside

New Marina Kai Apartments to offer lifeline for 23 people

A new Marina development will provide permanent housing and mental health support for 23 Monterey County residents. But with roughly 500 people already waiting for similar housing, the new units will meet only a fraction of the demand. Beneath a brilliant blue sky and surrounded by a growing neighborhood of model homes, officials gathered Nov. 10 to break ground on Marina Kai Apartments, a permanent supportive housing development for low-income adults with serious mental illness who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Monterey County. "In our field we know that housing and mental health are deeply connected," said Fabricio Chombo, assistant bureau chief with the Monterey County Behavioral Health Bureau, during the ceremony. "It's difficult to focus on recovery, maintain your health, or plan for the future when you are uncertain about where you'll be sleeping at night." More: Salinas bucks Monterey County trend with rise in homelessness The three-story development will contain 23 studio apartments for residents and a separate apartment for an on-site manager, along with laundry facilities, offices and meeting areas where supportive services can be provided. The approximately $17.6 million project replaces a two-story building containing four apartments that was demolished this year on
