CH Projects, responsible for the recent transformation of the historic Lafayette Hotel on El Cajon Boulevard, will need a variance from the City Council to overcome objections from the San Diego Airport Authority

'The office and restaurants are additional uses, and the ALUCP does not consider any additional uses for a hotel within Safety Zone 2 to be compatible.
