One Paseo: Still issues to be addressed

Submitted by ken on

Del Mar Times - Dec 2012
So, Kilroy is reducing the One Paseo project by 30 percent? We could quibble with the numbers as the original proposal was for 1.85M square feet, not the 2M now cited. But we really need to keep in mind that the important baseline number is neither 1.85M nor 2M but 510,000. That’s the current entitlement for any developer wanting to build on the site in question..

One Paseo project still needs to be scaled down

Submitted by ken on

Del Mar Times - Dec 2012
As a member of the Del Mar area community of San Diego, I was disappointed to see the modest revision for the One Paseo project (slated for the Carmel Valley area just off the Del Mar Heights exit of I-5). It’s not enough. The project should be scaled back to confirm with the community plan — not given a special exemption by the city for a 3X or 4X size increase. Read more...

Don’t break Carmel Valley’s heart

Carmel Valley News - May 24, 2012
A recent letter stated that our rejection of One Paseo is like Marin County’s rejection of a Lucas Films Production company. Well, it’s not.

Certainly Carmel Valley would welcome a Google or Microsoft business here – and indeed I would welcome a Lucas Films production company. Those kinds of companies would yield high paying professional jobs where employees would be able to afford our Carmel Valley homes and, indeed, embrace our CV culture and lifestyle, and live here. One Paseo jobs will be low paying jobs, held by far away commuters. Read more...

Project height and density compromise warranted

Submitted by ken on

Carmel Valley News - May 24, 2012
The Carmel Valley community is being asked to endorse a plan that is too dense for the neighborhood because the developer bought the land at the top of the market and needs to capture the economic return that they projected when they purchased the land thus the density increase request. We should not be held hostage in this manner. Read more...

One Paseo: Opportunity or Opportunism

Submitted by ken on

Carmel Valley News - May 24, 2012
For all those who have waded through the voluminous Draft Environmental Impact Report for the proposed One Paseo development, “You can’t get there from here!” is no longer just the punch line of a joke. It is now a formal engineering assessment of future traffic circulation to and through the heart of our Carmel Valley community if this development is allowed to go forward on the massive scale proposed.

An unmitigated disaster for Carmel Valley

Submitted by ken on

Carmel Valley News - April 26, 2012
The truth is out. The voluminous Draft Environmental Impact Report has been released by the City of San Diego Development Services Department. Contrary to what Kilroy’s slick PR campaign continues to portray, the impacts of this proposed project are severe and would forever change our life in Carmel Valley. Read more...

One Paseo public relations campaign filled with half-truths

Carmel Valley News - April 3, 2012
I want to thank this newspaper for identifying the One Paseo/Main Street project as one of the most important issues confronting Carmel Valley in 2012 and for enabling, through its Letters to the Editor, a print media forum for civil discourse regarding the pros and cons of the project.

One Paseo DEIR On The Way

Submitted by ken on

I've heard that the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Kilroy's One Paseo project is on the way, due out on Thursday, March 29, 2012. I assume there will be an electronic version of this document, and we'll make every effort to provide links as soon as possible. This is our first chance to get a real glimpse of what Kilroy is proposing, independent of the marketing view that has been provided to this point.
