PQ-NE Action Group reaches settlement agreement with Lennar Homes
Redevelopment, fueled by San Diego’s mandate to build more houses, is creating concern for many communities. The media is following our group’s efforts to keep new housing projects safe for residents, including a recent legal win that is setting a City precedent.
In August 2023, PQ-NE Action Group settled its lawsuit against Lennar Homes, resolving its legal challenge against the Junipers housing project. This agreement includes actions in pursuit of a safer, more livable environment for residents of northeast Rancho Peñasquitos.
