After talking with University officials, I learned that the college area will be built high density no matter what; at least for University owned property. They have deeded the titles of their developments to the state in order to get around zoning restrictions. This means they can build as many units, as high as they wish. The projects around the University are going to almost mirror the height of the current dorms, however they will be mixed use projects to add new retail. The state budget cuts are making the university increase enrollments, in turn forcing the university to build more housing in what is known as one of the largest universities in the nation, with the least amount of land. The auxiliary organizations of SDSU, Aztec shops and SDSU foundation, continue to look for student housing investments in the area. Point is, no matter which way we go, it looks like student housing will and needs to be built not only for redevelopment purposes, but for economic stability.

We as a community centered around one of the largest universities in the nation have to look at the big picture. The university is growing, americans are using alternative transportation – meaning seeking to stay around the university or in close proximity to where they work, and the college area needs a major facelift. The question shouldn’t be how do we stop this, because we won’t be able to. What we do need to do is to start looking at how do we shape these developments to bring positive growth to the area. Partying and overcrowding can be contained but near one of the largest universities, the fact is it cannot be completely stopped. As community leaders lets come together and figure out how to develop this community to accommodate the actual growth needs, for the good of the community. If we don’t support area growth and increasing the number of beds through high density mixed use developments, transportation will get worse – more commuters = more need for parking, more traffic and more harm to the environment.

Hi.
I am no longer a Rolando resident but lived at 4484 alamo drive for 10 years before moving to chula vista.

I was wonder how I can go about (if it is possible) to perform
a solo musical act at the Street Fair. no cost.

I do 50/60′s music as a solo performer. been playing for 40 years.

maybe some little venue somewhere in the FAIR.

I too was embarassed by the heckling, that was inappropriate behavior.
As Doug mentioned if the market hadn’t tanked we would have had condos. People have to be realistic here – no one is going to build condos they can’t sell.

That said – this development has too many beds and the density is too high. There is not enough parking. I am not opposed to students or student housing per se – but what becomes of this building should JPI decide to get out of the market in Rolando? He used the Plaza across the street as an example – too bad that place hasn’t been repainted in about 20 years!

Does anyone know if a seven story building was propsed with the Douglas Wilson Project? Aren’t height limitations for residential development strictly enforced? Shouldn’t this be enough to kick the project out of “susbstantial conformence” review and into the full environmental reveiw process?

I’d prefer to not voice my opinion about the project, being a Realtor and a part of the Board of the RCC, but I was quite embarassed by the rude behavior of a small minority of people in the crowd. I believe that everyone who wished to speak was allowed to speak on both sides of the debate, and there was no real need to shout out from the crowd when all it did was take away time from the speakers, especially those who took the time to fill out the speaker’s slips that were provided and were available throughout the meeting.
I’d also like to clarify the accusations of the Bait and Switch. If the Real Estate market in this state had not taken a turn for the worse, Douglas Wilson would be building condos as I write this. They are in the business to make money and if they thought they could do that, they’d be going ahead with the project.
If you really want to blame someone, maybe the lenders who were loaning money to anyone with a pulse during out so-called real estate boom should be looked at quite carefully.

Can anyone from JPI confirm or deny that JPI’s preliminary plan has the height of the student parking structure set at 70 feet? A seventy foot structure would cast a shadow for three blocks. Responses from any JPI representative or anyone with access to the preliminary proposal would be greatly appreciated. Did I miss this part of the presentation or did they neglect to mention the towering structure?

I was not impressed with JPI’s presentation nor was I “comforted” by their plans for our community. A mega dorm is the last thing Rolando Village needs and the unrealistically rosy picture that was presented was an insult to our intelligence. For example, it became painfully obvious that the number of parking spaces being planned were inadequate–not only were there not enough spaces for residents–no provisions were being made to provide spaces for guests. I went away from this meeting even more opposed to this project than before. JPI attempted to dazzle us with fancy graphics and promises of tax revenue, but at least from the responses I heard–no one was being fooled. The question I have is how do we stop them. This should not be treated as a done deal–the only “process I am interested in participating in–is the process that convinces JPI to abandon this project.

Nice piece of detective work. The work has already started and hopefully it’s going to look good!
