A 5-acre lot at the intersection of Famosa and Nimitz boulevards in Point Loma is on the way to being developed into an affordable-housing complex after being sold by the San Diego Housing Commission.
But the plan has raised concern among local residents who fear the development would diminish an already low amount of open space on the Peninsula. The lot is a popular location for off-road biking.
The proposed project would include 72 units divided into three buildings, each three stories tall. There also would be a managerial suite.
