Nearly 700 sign petition to protect Lake Miramar nutrients
The bass fishermen need to review the Draft EIR when it comes out in September, determine if their issue has been studied during the environmental review, and then submit comments on the DEIR. If their issue has not been studied, this (hopefully) will trigger that additional study. If it has been included in the DEIR, comments should be submitted, with specifics, according to whether they agree or disagree with the conclusions and why or why not. The DEIR is not the place to argue directly against the proposal itself but to express whether or not the DEIR has sufficiently studied their particular environmental concern. Arguments for or against are for when the plan goes through the public hearing / approval process.— August 10, 2017 1:35 p.m.
Former Chipotle co-CEO to revamp La Jolla home
Is the size of the basement included in the additional 4000 sf or in addition to the square feet for the house, FAR being different from the recorded size of a building? At least, that's my understanding of FAR which is relative to the size of the lot. My own home is 1332 sf, not including the garage which is below my townhouse and is pretty sizable.— July 22, 2017 4:14 p.m.
Condo permit for La Playa's Kellogg Beach
I doubt that a request for street vacation will be successful if submitted, both because it's a view corridor and because it's an existing coastal access point with signage to that effect.— March 19, 2017 4:15 p.m.
De Anza Cove: nature or recommercialization?
These viruses are communicated by specific types of mosquitoes which breed in fresh standing water and not in salt water. Worry more about the bird bath or bucket with a few inches of water in it. The Kendall-Frost Marsh already exists - the plan would expand those wetlands. I haven't heard of any major mosquito problem in the PB area.— November 21, 2016 10:51 a.m.
Balboa Park bypass bridge and parking project okayed
While I understand your mistrust of Measure 'J', but fears of the Mission Bay revenue money being taken for uses other than those intended by the City Charter amendment are not valid. Using the money for anything other than Mission Bay and Regional Parks would be a highly visible illegal diversion, and there are quite a few of us will be watching to make sure the Mayor cannot come up with some creative but highly questionable means to do so. We do, however, need to keep an eye on the Regional Parks funds to ensure that a large share isn't diverted to Balboa Park (which otherwise is a legitimate use of some of the Regional Parks funds) for the Plaza de Panama project.— November 21, 2016 10:03 a.m.
Balboa Park bypass bridge and parking project okayed
Furthermore, it's quite likely that parking fees won't be sufficient to pay off the garage revenue bond so taxpayers will be picking up the difference from the City's General Fund. We're already paying out of the General Fund for annual pension payments to make up what had been borrowed by the City, and for bonds on Petco Park, Qualcomm Stadium and the first Convention Center expansion.— November 21, 2016 9:54 a.m.
Balboa Park bypass bridge and parking project okayed
Agreed except that there isn't $80 million going into the project which could be used for the park. $49 million will be borrowed through revenue bonds for building the garage. There is $10 million cash which could have been used for repair & maintenance but Council agreed to give it to the Plaza de Panama Committee so they still only need to raise $30 million - and the Plaza de Panama Committee will be assisted through sale of naming rights which Council also has given to the Committee (Jacobs' committee).— November 21, 2016 9:49 a.m.
A bumpy road through Civita in Mission Valley
I would suggest that failure of the real estate agent to know about this proposed connector road would constitute a failure to disclose to potential buyers that a major road might be built right through the residential area of Civita (with widening to 4 lanes as indicated in the PEIR). I've been aware of the proposed connector for a number of years. I'm not involved in real estate, but I do pay attention to major project proposals of this scale, mainly because it was presented as a walkable, bike-able and sustainable (supposed to build a water reclamation facility for irrigation of landscaping) residential area that would reduce the degree of traffic that a huge residential project like this would ordinarily produce because of the school and shopping like a grocery store which are supposed to be built. The agent failed in her duty to disclose a major potential impact on a buyer in Civita.— October 23, 2016 5:46 p.m.
A bumpy road through Civita in Mission Valley
Actually, Marco Sessa is a Sr. Vice President of Sudberry Properties. He sees everything through a developer's perspective and not the perspectives of the real people whose homes and lives will be affected so negatively.— October 23, 2016 5:24 p.m.
San Diego High land-lease ballot measure discredited
While I agree with the general sense of your post, I would correct you about Mission Bay Park. Sea World managed to get the necessary majority vote (by a fraction of 1%) in order to build higher than the 30-foot coastal height limit within their leasehold. The protection for dedicated park land in the City Charter, which requires a 2/3 vote for a change in use to a non-park purpose, was not in question. However, if the City's ballot measure regarding the high school - which the City believes can be done with less than the 2/3 vote required by Charter Section 55 - you can believe there will be future attempts which could be made to any dedicated park or open space in the City of San Diego. Vote NO on Measure 'I' !— August 29, 2016 3:28 p.m.
