Dear Neighbors,
We hope you are all
staying safe and healthy during this time of national crisis.
While following Gov.
Newsom’s “stay-at-home” orders, your PQ-NE Action Group has been busy
planning the actions we need to take on multiple local developments
under review by the City of San Diego Planning Department. We are
especially concerned about the Penasquitos Drive / Carmel Mountain Road
intersection, due to the added density of the planned projects. They
might jeopardize safety; and, challenge our aging and limited
infrastructure.
We want to provide a
status update on two projects: (Please
click to see slide presentation with additional detail)
-
Millenium PQ
Project (redevelopment of the Hotel Karlan into 331 high-density
apartments). The owner/developer has applied for a ministerial
permit review [means: permit granted upon determination that a
proposed project complies with established standards set forth in
the zoning ordinance and/or other applicable policy documents] with
the City for demolition and reconstruction. This would mean the
developer can bypass the normal city approval processes
(Community Plan, Planning Commission, City Council). So, this
project appears on a fast track unless we act quickly to intervene.
We are consulting an experienced land use attorney for advice.
-
Junipers Project
(conversion of the Golf Course open space into 536 dwelling units).
Click here to view the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (scroll
down to 2-19-20 date) that is out for review.
Public comments are due by April 6.
In the
linked presentation, we discuss this report, our concerns, and what
you can do to formally comment, in further detail.
In addition to hiring a
land use attorney, we have also hired a fire safety expert, to
help review proposed fire safety analysis, and, proposed plans for
compliance to codes, regulations, and, common sense.
We also plan to retain
traffic safety experts to review the traffic / safety /
infrastructure impacts to our community.
Again,
please click here to review the linked presentation. We prepared
this, for you, in lieu of a community meeting.
To help support the
experts we hired to help protect our safety & concerns.

UPDATE!!!!! 2/19/2020 -
The Junipers Project EIR
San Diego
City DSD published the
Public Notice of draft Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for the Junipers Project No.
586670 and has posted the draft Environmental Impact
Report containing 18 documents on the City website at
https://www.sandiego.gov/ceqa/draft.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU
REVIEW AND SEND IN YOUR COMMENTS! Have your concerns been addressed in the
report? Do you see any errors or omissions on any issue mitigation they are
proposing, ie. public safety, emergency evacuations, additional traffic,
infrastructure improvements, mitigating existing emergency exits, inclusion of
other PQ development projects (Pacific Villages & Millenium PQ,), etc? With the
Carmel Mtn. Ranch Country Club redevelopment project starting their Community
Plan Amendment process to redevelop that golf course, have those 1200-1600
additional residential units been included in the mitigation measures as they
should be since they will impact our use of Carmel Mtn. Rd., local shopping and
I-15 access? Does the EIR satisfactorily address alternative proposals that
might better fit the the Junipers project site? These are just a few impacts
that might concern you.
Comments must be received by
April 6, 2020 to be included in the final document considered by the
decision making authorities (Rancho Peñasquitos Planning Board, Planning
Commission & San Diego City Council). Your written comments should be sent to
the following address: Sara Osborn, City of San Diego Development Services
Center, 1222 First Avenue, MS 501, San Diego, CA 92101 or e-mail your comments
to DSDEAS@sandiego.gov with the
Junipers / Project No.586670 in the subject line.
