Peninsula News reports that demolition of the existing structure at Rosecrans and Talbot could begin any day. That would definitely signal that the city is proceeding with allowing the 4-story, 56-unit mixed-use apartment complex to be built.The news, an online publication of the Point Loma Association, stated "demolition could began any day," and quoted Eric Law, of the Peninsula Community Planning Board, as saying, " ... the developer is just waiting for final approvals to begin clearing the property and start construction. This could come at any time now.”
If this building is allowed to proceed, it would violate a host of laws and relations and embed a significant departure from "normal" procedures and cordial relationships between city government and the residents and neighbors of Point Loma. It would violate the 30-foot height limit and any trust between the neighborhood in question and Mayor Gloria and city councilmember Campbell. Just for starters.
This project and the way the city dealt with the neighborhood and its volunteer community planning group are outrageous. Some in the Peninsula have concluded the only recourse is a legal one. This means the community has to protect itself from the city with legal means. That is also outrageous.
