SAN DIEGO (KGTV)— Point Loma residents are voicing concerns about a 56-unit project coming to the neighborhood.

The four-storey mixed-use residential project will be built on the corner of Rosecrans and Talbot Street. According to the project’s permit application, the developer plans to include eight affordable housing units on the site and hopes to take advantage of the city’s ‘Complete Community Housing Solutions’ program by doing so. The program encourages companies to build affordable housing near public transportation.

“It becomes clear that the community is concerned about the impact,” said Mark Cervantes, who lives nearby. “Not only from an aesthetic perspective, but more importantly from a traffic safety perspective around the elementary school behind.”

The property is located next to Cabrillo Elementary School, on a street lined with small local shops and restaurants. A car rental business is currently renting it.

“This is going to greatly impact parking,” said Margaret Virissimo, who grew up in the neighborhood. On Tuesday, he helped organize a town hall meeting where the project was discussed.

“They really need to involve the local community,” Cervantes said.

ABC 10News reached out to the city of San Diego. A representative said the city code does not require the applicant to seek public comment, but the city is still reviewing and correcting project plans.

Residents say they hope the city takes their perspectives into consideration before final approval.

“We just want the developers and the city to understand the valid concerns that we have and that we are facing in the community right now,” Virissimo said.
