Portofino Rosarito Residential Resort Condominium Development Portofino Rosarito Residential Resort Condominium Development PLAYAS DE ROSARITO BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO Association proposal for a turnkey development of a 100-unit condominium resort project south of Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico An invitation to participate as an investor, owner, or partner Total funding to be placed: $2,700,000 from private lenders $1,000,000 from developer and builder $300,000 from development group Presented by Baja Development Partners, LLC A development venture between Firm Residential & Baja Resort Advisors BAJA DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS… BUILDING THE AMERICAN DREAM IN MEXICO Portofino Rosarito Residential Resort A 100-Unit Condominium Project to be Developed South of Rosarito, Baja California To Our Private Lender Partners: We are pleased to announce a compelling development opportunity in Baja, California. The tremendous demand for resort housing in northern Baja California has been spurred in part by important new laws that allow foreign companies to develop real estate in Mexico. Firm Financial Corp., doing business as Firm Residential, has invited Baja Resort Advisors, LLC, a La Jolla-based resort development firm, to participate in the development a 100 unit luxury condominium project just north of world famous Puerto Nuevo. The project’s operational entity is Baja Development Partners, LLC, (BDP) a California Limited Liability Company. The principals of BDP combine considerable skills and experience in real estate marketing, finance and development. Chief among them is Gabriel V. Robles, president of Baja Resort Advisors. To his credit, Mr. Robles has over 180 residential, resort and hospitality developments in Mexico and his participation virtually assures a successful outcome. His current project, Ventana al Mar, a 611-acre, 2300-unit resort development north of Ensenada, Baja California, is considered the crown jewel of developments along the Baja “Gold Coast.” (www.ventanaalmar.com). The Rosarito-Ensenada corridor is among the fastest growing real estate markets in North America. Many beachfront condominiums along this Baja coastal stretch are experiencing 30% plus annual appreciation rivaling the meteoric growth seen recently in southern California. National media attention has only fueled the unprecedented investment activity in the area. As a result, virtually all major beachfront developments are sold out entirely before construction is completed. By combining an incredible location in a booming market with a proven developer, we are certain to attract a multitude of buyers to this stunning oceanfront residential resort. BDP is keenly aware that discriminating U.S. buyers demand institutional protections in order to feel confident and secure in foreign real estate transactions. To that end, we have contracted one of the largest U.S. title companies, Stewart Title of Houston, Texas, to guarantee clean title to the subject property. Furthermore, we are partnering with numerous U.S. lending institutions including Bank of Laredo, Collateral Mortgage, and a subsidiary of G.E Capital, WMC Direct, to provide long-term mortgages to U.S. buyers. We invite you to consider this unique opportunity to participate in the funding of this landmark development and capitalize on the booming Baja California market with an astute, seasoned team of professionals. Although the information contained herein should be sufficient to make an informed decision, additional resources are available upon request should you desire further information. We thank you for your interest and look forward to your participation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Respectfully submitted, Baja Development Partners, LLC Gabriel V.

  • Lessons from San Diego's Border Wall
    RESEARCH REPORT (CBP Photo/Mani Albrecht) LESSONS FROM SAN DIEGO'S BORDER WALL The limits to using walls for migration, drug trafficking challenges By Adam Isacson and Maureen Meyer December 2017 " The border doesn’t need a wall. It needs better-equipped ports of entry, investi- gative capacity, technology, and far more ability to deal with humanitarian flows. In its current form, the 2018 Homeland Security Appropriations bill is pursuing a wrong and wasteful approach. The ex- perience of San Diego makes that clear." LESSONS FROM SAN DIEGO'S BORDER WALL December 2017 | 2 SUMMARY The prototypes for President Trump's proposed border wall are currently sitting just outside San Diego, California, an area that serves as a perfect example of how limited walls, fences, and barriers can be when dealing with migration and drug trafficking challenges. As designated by stomsCu and Border Protection, the San Diego sector covers 60 miles of the westernmost U.S.-Mexico border, and 46 of them are already fenced off. Here, fence-building has revealed a new set of border challenges that a wall can’t fix. The San Diego sector shows that: • Fences or walls can reduce migration in urban areas, but make no difference in rural areas. In densely populated border areas, border-crossers can quickly mix in to the population. But nearly all densely populated sections of the U.S.-Mexico border have long since been walled off. In rural areas, where crossers must travel miles of terrain, having to climb a wall first is not much of a deterrent. A wall would be a waste of scarce budget resources.

  • Designing and Establishing Conservation Areas in the Baja California-Southern California Border Region
    DRAFT • NOT FOR QUOTATION Designing and Establishing Conservation Areas in the Baja California-Southern California Border Region Michael D. White, Jerre Ann Stallcup, Katherine Comer, Miguel Angel Vargas, Jose Maria Beltran- Abaunza, Fernando Ochoa, and Scott Morrison ABSTRACT The border region of Baja California in Mexico and California in the United States is a biologically diverse and unique landscape that forms a portion of one of the world’s global biodiversity hotspots. While the natural resources of this border region are continuous and interconnected, land conservation practices on either side of the international boundary that bisects this area are quite different. These binational differences place certain natural resources, ecological processes, and wildlife movement patterns at risk of falling through the cracks of conservation efforts implemented in each country. Thus, effective conservation in this region requires binational cooperation with respect to conservation planning and implementation. This paper describes the differences in land conservation patterns and land conservation mechanisms between Baja California and Alta California (Southern California). The Las Californias Binational Conservation Initiative is discussed as a case study for binational cooperation in conservation planning. Diseñando y Estableciendo Áreas de Conservación en la Región Fronteriza Baja California-Sur de California Michael D. White, Jerre Ann Stallcup, Katherine Comer, Miguel Angel Vargas, Jose Maria Beltran- Abaunza, Fernando Ochoa, y Scott Morrison RESUMEN La región fronteriza de Baja California en México y California en los Estados Unidos es un paisaje único y biológicamente diverso que forma una porción de una de las zonas clave (hotspots) de biodiversidad global en el mundo. Mientras que los recursos naturales de esta región fronteriza son continuos e interconectados, las prácticas de conservación del suelo en ambos lados de la frontera internacional que divide en dos esta área son realmente diferentes.

  • Case Study a Potential Trinational Protected Area: the Campo-Tecate Creek Kumiai Corridor
    DRAFT • NOT FOR QUOTATION Case Study A Potential Trinational Protected Area: The Campo-Tecate Creek Kumiai Corridor Katherine Comer1 ABSTRACT This paper outlines a “blueprint” for potential trinational protected area that would benefit the Campo Indian Reservation, the United States, and Mexico. On one end of the corridor the Campo Indian Reservation already boasts community- lead riparian protection programs, and 35 kilometers (km) downstream on the other end, Mexico has implemented a binational easement on sacred Kumiai lands at Servidumbre Cuchumá. These lands would serve as anchors for a 100 meter-wide biodiverse riparian ribbon through urban Tecate and rural San Diego lands. The benefits of a green corridor for the region would be ecological, hydrological, and social/cultural enhancement. Consistent with the Laguna Madre binational conservation area plan (TNC 2001), the blueprint uses two phases. In phase one, lands are protected within national boundaries, using a variety of instruments. Phase two “welds” the protected areas across boundaries. A seamless corridor might help bring greater attention, protection, and funding for the area from organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Long-term goals for the region include the incorporation of lands adjacent to the river and lands beyond the Kumiai anchors. Thus, the riparian protected area would begin in the Laguna Mountains and terminate at the Tijuana Estuary on the Pacific Ocean.

In December, 2007, Energia Sierra Juarez U.S. Transmission, LLC (ESJ) applied to DOE for a PP for an electric transmission line that would cross the international border between the U.S. and Mexico, near the town of Jacumba, California. In May 2012, DOE completed and released the ESJ Transmission Line Project Final EIS (DOE/EIS-0414) (Final EIS) that analyzed the potential environmental impacts associated with the PP requested by ESJ. DOE issued PP-334 to ESJ on August 31, 2012. The ESJ U.S. Transmission line, and an associated transmission line and wind farm in Mexico (constructed by an ESJ affiliate) were completed and operational by June 2015. DOE’s issuance of PP-334 was challenged in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (“the Court”) in December 2012.
