The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted against the construction of the proposed Palazzo Condominiums, which would be located on a vacant site at 2402 Torrey Pines Road. The applicants initially received approval for a plan that included 30 units of approximately 2,500 square feet, and revised the project to propose 50 units of 1,100 to 1,400 square feet each. Several residents of the nearby Del Charro Woods condominiums gave organized presentations in opposition to the project. They said they were concerned the project was too big and would bring too many people and too much traffic to the already-congested area, and that its design did not adhere to the 30 percent landscaping requirement in the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance. “Everyone should be allowed to reasonably develop properties,” one presenter said. “Just not this way. Not in La Jolla.” The same presenter also produced a petition signed by 25 other Del Charro Woods residents who opposed the project. Despite recommendations to approve the project from both the Traffic and Transportation Committee and the Permit Review Committee, the LJCPA opposed the project in a 12-3-1 vote on the grounds that its bulk and scale are not compatible with the surrounding areas, its design disrupts the architectural unity of the area, it is expected to increase traffic congestion, there is inadequate landscaping and green areas, and inadequate loading zones for service vehicles. LJCPA President Joe LaCava said that the planning group overrode the recommendations of two subcommittees “after listening to the presentation and testimony from the neighbors.” The city Planning Commission will vote on the project at a later date.
