The city of San Diego Planning Commission voted Thursday to bring plans for a three-story, 20-unit apartment building in Ocean Beach to a standstill.
The project would have replaced a vacant, one-story building on a 0.17-acre lot at the corner of Point Loma Avenue and Ebers Street.
If it did not fall under the historical umbrella, then the area would be eligible for development through the city’s Complete Communities plan. However, due to an existing municipal code, if the lot did fall within the historic district, then it is exempt from Complete Communities and the 20-unit building could not be built.
Klein was one of 55 speakers in-person at the commission meeting in support of the appeal and against the project. He said he was relieved that the planning commissioners agreed with them about protecting the neighborhood from being over-developed.“Ocean Beach is a precious gem,” he said. “It is something that needs to be preserved because authentic California beach towns are kind of the keystone of California culture.
“This would literally be the 20 cheapest entry points into the Ocean Beach area and it's a high resource area for San Diego,” he said. “It has great schools, it is walkable, it’s near the coast.”
