In June, Peninsula Community Planning Board vetted controversial issues including building height limits and affordable housing.
\nJon Linney, PCPB board chair, was acknowledged by the city advisory group for his selection as vice chairman of the Community Planners Committee. CPC is an umbrella organization for San Diego’s more than 40 community planning groups advising the city on land-use.
\nIn his president’s report, Linney said landscape architect, KTU&A Planning and Landscape Architecture, has been chosen to lead planning on design of the proposed Ca\u00f1on Street pocket park.\u00a0
\nIn March 2016, the San Diego City Council voted unanimously to sanction a new pocket park for Point Loma’s Roseville, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The council committed $840,000 from Peninsula developer impact fees for design and construction of a new pocket park on a two-thirds-acre lot on Avenida de Portugal above Ca\u00f1on Street. “It’s going to be a tough road, but we’re going to make it happen,” said Linney of future planning for the new public park in Roseville, which is decidedly “under-parked” for its population density.
\nDistrict 2 Council rep Conrad Wear had good news about MTS Bus Route 84 serving Point Loma, including Cabrillo National Monument and Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. The bus route is being considered for termination by the MTS board because of low ridership.
\n“Councilmember Lorie Zapf made comments about bus routes and alternatives, perhaps having service on weekends (for Route 84) instead of weekdays,” Wear said. In other action:
\n\u2022\u00a0At the behest of Council District 2, the board sent a letter of support to have the California Coastal Commission schedule the Peninsula RM Base Zone Height Limit for the next available CCC hearing. Point Lomans have ongoing concerns about multi-family residential developments in the community exceeding the 30-foot coastal height limit. The board voted 10-0-1 in favor of the support letter.
\n\u2022\u00a0At the suggestion of PCPB board member Jerry Lohla, the board has drafted a letter of support endorsing that “the Peninsula community is in need of affordable\/workforce housing.”
\n“However, unlike other San\u00a0Diego communities, which have encouraged and supported the development of rental housing to accommodate work force families, the Peninsula has not been successful in\u00a0attracting enough affordable rental housing to sustain our community over the long term,” states the board’s support letter. “In fact, no rental apartments specifically targeting low- and moderate-income families\u00a0have been developed in the Peninsula since the PCPB Community Plan was updated in 1987, even though affordable\/workforce housing is recognized throughout the\u00a0Community Plan as an important community objective. PCPB hereby\u00a0requests that City Council and the SDHC encourage and support the development of rental apartments in the Peninsula community that would target low- and moderate-income work force families.”
\n\u2022\u00a0City staffer Vickie White gave\u00a0a presentation on neighboring Midway Community Planning Group’s ongoing community plan update, which she said the city hopes to have completed, including environmental review, by spring 2018.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
