planners and others don’t factor in the beach and bay areas due to high use by tourists. Residents had urged the
city to purchase the former elementary school in order to turn it into a park before it was sold to private devel- opers. But, after the sale was finalized, they were pleased to learn that city staff rejected the proposed 1500-square-foot park and required one ten times the size, .35 acres, to be built in its place. “While [the pocket park]
is a start at providing pop- ulation-based park require- ments on site, based on the concept drawing, staff antic- ipates recommending .35 acres, or 15,250 square feet, of population-based park land,” reads the December staff report. Local planners lobbied
McKellar McGowan to build a .35-acre park under a large ficus tree on the six adjoin- ing lots located at the south- ern portion of the property, where a kindergarten class and auditorium once was. The developer had dif-
ferent plans. Using a zoning map from before the open- ing of the kindergarten in 1950, McKellar McGowan discovered that the six- lot parcel was zoned resi- dential. In May 2014 they informed the Mission Beach Precise Planning Board that they were going to split the development into two proj- ects. Doing so exempted city-council review for the smaller project and reduced the size of the park. The new plans called
for turning the six-lot par- cel into 12 residential units called Santa Barbara Place Residences, with no park requirement. The northern parcels, referred to as the Mission Beach Residences, would have 51 units and would include a .19-acre pocket park, which would run parallel to Mission

Beach Boulevard. Instead of standard-sized lots, the proposal would reconfigure lots, turn public alleys pri- vate in order to make room for triplexes and quadplexes on site, amounting to a total

of 63 multi-family units. Lobbyists, including San
Diego’s former development services director Marcela Escobar-Eck’s firm, Atlan- tis Group, lobbied city offi- cials to approve the project.
C I T Y L I G H T S In January 2016, plan-
ning commissioners dis- missed the residents’ con- cerns, and commissioner James Whalen accused residents of “sandbag- ging.” In the end, the board
unanimously approved the development as two sepa- rate projects. Residents say council
needs to act and force the developer to abide by the Planned District Ordinance.
