"Save San Diego's Character"
The Navy is proposing a massive development on the NAVWAR/SPAWAR site alongside Pacific Highway, just east of Old Town San Diego. It will have extremely adverse impacts on San Diego’s livability, character and its very distinction as America’s Finest City. Save San Diego's Character, a coalition of San Diego residents, business owners and community leaders, was established to oppose the high-density plans and to encourage The Navy to optimize the site for the modernization of its security infrastructure in harmony with the character of the surrounding area.
NO Alternative 2-5:
Navy’s Rendering of Proposed Development as Viewed from Presidio Park
- 21-32 story wall of up to 65 High Rises and more than 100 buildings
- Traffic increases of as much as 70,000 average daily car trips in the surrounding 1-5 area.
- Very long commutes to the Lindbergh Field Airport
- Negative impacts on all the nearby historical sites
- Diminished Air Quality and Noise Pollution given the 30-year Build-Out
- Obstruction of Waterfront Views for the public at large
- Destruction of San Diego’s very quality of life for those who work and vacation in the city
YES Alternative 1:
Navy's Rendering of Alternative 1 Impact to Skyline from Presidio Park
- The tallest building not to exceed 55 feet
- Modernization of the NAVWAR/SPAWAR site to optimize the Navy’s Security National Defense and Antiterrorism Force Protection
- The demolition of obsolete facilities and utilities for the consolidation of NAVWAR operations.
- Maintaining the architectural integrity and character of the surrounding Old Town, Mission Hills and Point Loma historical areas
- Protecting the historic buildings within the Old Town Heritage District, the BIRTHPLACE of California
