What One Paseo Should Be!

The Village Carmel Valley Deserves

Carmel Valley wants a village, but is only being offered a mixed-use urban mall. The General Plan says we're supposed to be a "Community Village", and Kilroy tells us that One Paseo is in line with this, but examples seem to show otherwise. Examples of Community Villages include the Uptown District in Hillcrest, or the downtowns of La Mesa, Oceanside, La Jolla and Encinitas.

So what do these look like? Well, you're probably familiar with La Mesa, La Jolla, Oceanside or Encinitas, but what about the Uptown District? The Uptown District in Hillcrest is pictured at the start of this posting, pretty great, huh?! That's exactly what I want in Carmel Valley, it looks like a village! And the EPA, on their own website (visit the site), touts the Uptown District as a successful, high-density development:

...The project, a successful 14-acre mixed-use, high-density development in the city's Hillcrest neighborhood, ... combines a mix of uses, including 318 homes, 145,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, and a 3,000-square-foot community center. The residential density is over 20 units per acre, far more than the city average of less than 3 units per acre...

This village has everything we want and meets all the requirements of Smart Growth!

So, why do we need the density of One Paseo if this is also a great example of smart growth? I believe we should demand a village that looks more like these other example areas (the Uptown District, or the downtowns of La Jolla, Oceanside, Encinitas or La Mesa.) This would be more appropriate to Carmel Valley.

Again, my opinion. What do you think?

Has Kilroy misrepresented One Paseo to the public?

If you look at what Kilroy has shown to the community to garner support for One Paseo, I believe it significantly misrepresents the true nature of the complete project. Sure, building sizes are called out in overhead views, and there is an occasional rendering that includes a large tower in the distance, but the majority of the imagery provided to the community consists of marketing views of low-rise buildings and idealized street scenes. This article outlines my concerns.

Why does it matter if Kilroy has misrepresented the project to the community? Because the Community Plan Amendment Process requires significant support from the community to justify approval of the amendment. If Kilroy is really misrepresenting the project to the community, shouldn't support for One Paseo be considered suspect? After all, support for One Paseo should be based on a realistic representation of the entire project.

Here's a typical view that Kilroy shows of the project:

Kilroy's picture of the project

While the Kilroy view may be technically correct for this part of the central plaza, the vast majority of the project doesn't look anything like it. From Kilroy's picture, we get the feeling of a two-story development with an occasional tower in the distance. In reality, this central block has the only two story buildings in the development, yet most of the pictures show views of this central core, leaving out the residential blocks and the residential tower.

Here's a view of what the residential blocks might actually look like, taken of the La Jolla Crossroads development near UTC:

La Jolla Crossroads, like One Paseo on Del Mar Heights Road

The picture of La Jolla Crossroads is more like what Del Mar Heights Road will look like with the completion of One Paseo. The picture shows a 5 story residential block, similar to the 4, 5 and 6 story buildings that will line Del Mar Heights Road.

Even in the DEIR, Kilroy has managed to provide views that minimize the scale of the project. The one rendering that might have realistically shown the impact of the 10 story residential tower, taken from the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and High Bluff Drive, conveniently crops out the 10 story tower!

The reality of One Paseo is acres of tall residential blocks that loom over the adjacent streets and block the views of nearby residents. The reality is a 10 story residential tower at the highest point on the property, where the top of the tower is the highest point in the development. The reality is a development that is totally out of scale with the surrounding community.

These articles are my opinion. If there are factual errors, let me know and I'll correct them!

Torrey Pines Rummage Sale, April 28, 2012

Torrey Pines High School FoundationThe Torrey Pines High School Foundation will be holding it's annual Rummage sale on Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 7:00 to 11:00 am. The Foundation will use money raised to benefit all TPHS students! Note that the event includes a Pancake Breakfast, and Bulk Document Shredding. See the Carmel Valley News article for additional information.

Who are the Main Street Ambassadors?

Searching for the Main Street Ambassadors? Come to our site to learn more about One Paseo and it's impact to the Carmel Valley Community in San Diego!

What is this new group, anyway? It appears they have some professional resources, having created a website with beautiful graphics and sent out mailers to the community with questionnaires and pre-paid return postage. Phew, I wish I had money to do that marketing! A local website says the Main Street Ambassadors is "composed of local residents, businesses, service clubs and other individuals" who support the project. Who do you suppose these mysterious "other individuals" are? They're not residents, businesses or service clubs...

While groups like this provide us with quick, feel-good blurbs extracted from Kilroy's marketing materials ("1700 new jobs!", "traffic improvement!", "walkable design!", etc.), they ignore the reality of the project and the true impact on the community. Just think about the actual impact of One Paseo:

  • Sure, new jobs, but that brings 25,000 to 30,000 new cars onto our local streets! (Kilroy says 20,000 to 25,000) The traffic impact is so significant that Kilroy will be required to make improvements miles away, such as a traffic signal near Carmel Del Mar school and street widening on Via de la Valle!
  • The DEIR only mentions signal timing in an appendix, I don't see it as a mitigation measure. If the traffic improvement through Signal Timing was so effective, why isn't it listed in the DEIR as a mitigation measure for all the traffic that this project will generate? If the City had evidence that this would actually help, I suspect it would be listed. Note that San Marcos, a city that has used this system, has found that there was little or no benefit when the streets were near capacity (like Del Mar Heights is already!)
  • I'll admit that One Paseo has lots of parking, more than the San Diego Convention Center! Remember that this parking is all in parking structures, which are have a hard time managing lots of traffic (imagine trying to park when you're stuck behind some slowpoke trying to find a space.)
  • One Paseo may be walkable inside the development, but not from the outside. Are you going to walk from your house when you visit this shopping mall? Not likely. Very few of Carmel Valley's 13,000 residences are within easy walking distance, probably only a few hundred.

The reality of One Paseo is an oversized urban mall that's not appropriate for a suburban village. Sure, new groups can form that claim this is the best thing ever, but the reality doesn't live up to the hype. How about someone proposes a smaller-scaled suburban village, something that actually fits into Carmel Valley!

These articles are my opinion. If there are factual errors, let me know and I'll correct them!

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day 2012

Prescription Drug Take Back DayFrom the San Diego County Sherrif's Department, "It’s time to clean out your medicine cabinet and get rid of old and unwanted prescription drugs. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will collect and safely dispose unwanted or expired medicines as part of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) fourth National Prescription Drug Take Back Day." This gets drugs out of the community, away from children and teens, and keeps the chemicals out of the landfills and oceans. You can find drop-off locations and additional information by looking at the Drug Take Back Day Web Page, however, we are fortunate enough to have a permanent drop-off location at the Carmel Valley Police Substation! Carmel Valley's Prescripton Drug Drop-off Location is at 12592 El Camino Real, right across from the CV Rec Center. The drop-off point is a "mailbox" behind the fence adjacent to the station entrance. Just reach through the bars and place old prescription drugs into the box.
