SAN DIRGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- It would be the most ambitious development project in the history of Pacific Beach -- it's a proposed 230-foot building on Turquoise Avenue that would add 213 new units of housing, with 10 of those units slated as affordable. A group known as San Diegans for Responsible Planning has opposed the project. “We don’t want Sacramento zoning our neighborhoods. We need our neighbors to weigh in on what gets built around us,” said Scott Chipman, the president of San Diegans for Responsible Planning. Chipman held a group meeting in Pacific Beach, while trying to gather signatures against the project. He's pressuring local elected officials to block the proposal. “The real blame lays at the feet of our elected officials who have adopted policies of housing at all cost,” said Chipman. “We have to make so much noise that this thing doesn’t happen because they will ruin all the beach communities,” said Trudy Grunland, a local resident from Pacific Beach. Cleared homeless encampment leaves more than 155k lbs. of waste in its wake With decades of anti-development policies across California, new affordable housing laws allow for affordable housing projects to bypass the normal 30-foot height rules in Pacific Beach. Kalonymus, the developers for the new project, released this statement: “San Diego has a well-documented shortage of homes that is making life increasingly expensive, so we need ambitious projects to truly move the needle. The project team has been working with experts for quite some time to craft a building that complies with all applicable housing laws.” Chipman says his community is ready to fight. “We are not opposed to more housing, but we are opposed to irresponsible ridiculous housing like a 230-foot building next to little houses,” said Chipman.
