Bahia Hotel’s plan to expand upsets kayakers

THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 2018

BEACHANDBAYPRESS.COM

Leaving 2017 by leaps and bounds THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Mission Bay Park Committee approved the proposal Jan. 2

BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

Some neighbors and Mission Bay enthusiasts are crying foul over expansion plans by Evans Hotels to increase its footprint at Bahia Resort Hotel, which opponents claim would eliminate 170 of 270 parking spaces while decreasing public beach access.

Hotelier Bill Evans said parking changes being proposed as part of Bahia’s redevelopment will reconfigure — not eliminate — existing onsite parking.

San Diego Park and Recreation Board’s Mission Bay Park Committee voted nearunanimously Jan. 2 to affirm Evans Hotels’ proposed expansion and parking changes on its existing site at 998 W. Mission Bay Drive. The board concurred with the hotelier’s view that that action would be consistent with the Mission Bay Park Master Plan.

“Parking will be put in approximately three, 100-space parking lots replacing the 270 spaces on Gleeson Road with 273 spaces,” Evans said. “The Mission Bay Master Plan, which guides development in the park, calls for removal of SEE BAHIA, Page 12

City Attorney charges local landlord John Nobel for health and safety code violations

BY NEAL PUTNAM | BEACH & BAY PRESS

A La Jolla couple, and a Pacific Beach man, have denied health and safety code charges they maintained a substandard apartment complex that reportedly had bathroom leaks, inadequate heating, insects, rodents, and improper wiring.

The misdemeanor charges were filed by City Attorney Mara Elliott against John Nobel, 78, his wife, Mahin Nobel, 70, and Devdatt Niranjanbhai Patel, 34, earlier in December. The couple are the owners and Patel is a property manager.

Through their attorneys, all three people pleaded not guilty Dec. 18 in San Diego Superior Court, and a future hearing was set for Jan. 23 in the new courthouse at 1100 Union St. The three were not required to appear in person because the charges are misdemeanors.

"They were extremely surprised (to be charged)," said attorney Richard Katzman, who represented John Nobel on Dec. 28.

Katzman said the couple hired a management company to oversee the apartment complex, located at 5344 Rex Ave. in City Heights. He said Nobel's wife had nothing to do with the apartment complex.

"I need to do research on what the word 'maintain' means," said Katzman, adding that was the reason the couple hired a management company to oversee it.

"Did the owner maintain it or the management company?" said Katzman.

The exact wording of the 10 charges alleges they "did unlawfully maintain, use, and permit the use of a building... in such a condition that it endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety and welfare of the public and the occupants thereof."

A Dec. 20 press release from the city attorney says seven refugee families from the Republic of Congo moved into the complex with a Swahili interpreter and assistance from Catholic Charities in June through September 2016. The families repeatedly complained about bathroom leaks, old equipment, broken doors, a severe roach infestation, and a few said there were rats in some units.

In a separate proceeding, an administrative law judge ordered the couple to pay $34,278 in relocation and other costs to the seven families, plus a $10,000 civil penalty on July 17. The couple were represented by another attorney, who could not be

reached for comment.

The seven families were relocated by the city, and the city wants John and Mahin Nobel to pay the city back.

They filed an appeal, but it was denied on Dec. 8, according to an order by an administrative law judge.

A city code inspector cited the property for exposed electrical wiring, mold, lack of heating, presence of trash, debris, infestation of roaches, spiders, rodents and expired fire extinguishers.

The property was developed into a 12-unit apartment complex in 1980, and the Nobels purchased the property in 2004 under the name of Casa De Las Palmas, LLC. Court documents say JN Financial Services manages the apartment complex and John and Mahin Nobel are officers for this firm with Patel as the property manager.

"Exit and fire violations were created when the apartments were illegally converted from two-bedroom units into three- or four-bedroom units," according to the city attorney's press release.

John and Mahin Nobel and Patel all remain free on their own recognizance.

Stories that brought Pacific and Mission beach residents together in 2017

BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

It was an eventful year for Pacific and Mission beaches, which grappled with a number of vexing issues.

Coastal communities tackled everything from community beautification to wetlands protection to short-term vacation rentals.

The following is a month-bymonth chronicle of what the Beach & Bay Press covered in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, and Mission Bay throughout 2017.

JANUARY n Planned Parenthood completed plans to modernize and double its Mission Bay Health Center. n County officials were working with “feral cat folks” to save, rather than exterminate, felines trapped in a federal program to preserve endangered coastal bird species by culling their predators. n A series of storms roared through beach areas Jan. 19 - Jan. 24, depositing about 2.4 inches of rain and causing some flooding, downed trees and power outages. n City Attorney Mara Elliott alleged several San Diego restaurants, including some along the beachfront, were adding questionably legal, 3 percent surcharges to customers' bills without proper notice to compensate for a minimum-wage pay increase.

I Love A Clean San Diego engaged nearly 900 elementary school students and volunteers at Mission Beach for the 24th annual Kids’ Ocean Day in May to clean the beach and spell out ‘Come Together.’ n San Diego lifeguard “legend” Bill Bender retired after 35 years service with “countless” rescues to his credit. n Volunteers created a “peace garden” at Mission Bay High. n The rebuild of the historic Plunge Pool at Belmont Park was ushered in at a Jan. 30 public tearing-down ceremony with Mayor Faulconer. The event included a

vehicles. A “driverless” car, also known as an autonomous, self-driving or robotic car, is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input.

FEBRUARY n Public officials, businesses and residents collectively launched a “clean and safe program” to remove trash in Pacific Beach and make the community safer, while offering the homeless a hand up. n PB made Circulate San Diego's ignominious “The Fatal Fifteen” list of most dangerous intersections for pedestrians, with its problematic intersection at Mission Boulevard and Garnet Avenue. That crossing, No. 3 on the list, had 16 total collisions,

with 17 serious injuries recorded between 2001-2015. n Two Mission Beach businessmen pled guilty to conspiracy to sink a 57-foot boat used for charter sportfishing trips in order to collect insurance money. A judge later placed them on 18 months federal probation after they paid the U.S. Coast Guard $18,000 for rescuing them. n A motorist pled guilty to committing attempted murder and two assaults in hitting three pedestrians in Pacific Beach in which one suffered brain damage and was in a coma. n Family-run Saska’s steakhouse in MB reopened Feb. 23 with an updated design and feel as Saska’s Steak & Seafood. The popular eatery first opened in 1951. n Sprouts natural and organic grocery enlarged its space from 19,000 to 23,000 square feet adding a new salad bar, deli and juice bar. n A flamenco festival debuted in PB showcasing internationally acclaimed and local performers. n PB planners heard distressing news that the beach community ranked second to East Village, out of 125 city of San Diego communities, in violent crimes, with 216 reported the year before in the beach community. Then-PBPG chair Brian Curry characterized statistics as “simply unacceptable,” describing the status quo as “Apocalypse now.”

MARCH n Approximately 245 trailers were removed from the former De Anza Cove mobile home park while the city was midway through the De Anza Revitalization Plan, a three-year comprehensive outreach and planning program to re-imagine, re-purpose

meeting at Marina Village Conference Center. n PB Planning Group April 26 voted in favor of moving the weekly farmers market from Bayard to Garnet in the heart of the beach community's business district. n Beach residents got their last chance on April 25 to weigh-in on proposed alternatives for reclaiming marshland in Mission Bay at a fourth public workshop hosted by ReWild Mission Bay at MBHS.

FROM PAGE 4 and revitalize De Anza Special Study area within Mission Bay Park. n MBHS girls soccer had a recordsetting season finishing with 23-4-1 mark (15-0 at home), ending as champions of the City League. n Cornerstone PB business Crest Liquor celebrated its 70th anniversary. The liquor store, deli and convenience store at 3787 Ingraham St. started as a dozen vacant lots in Crown Point in 1947. n New City Attorney Mara Elliott issued a March 15 memo opining that short-term vacation rentals were “not specifically defined, expressly permitted, or listed in any of the zone use categories … essentially making them illegal in residential areas.” Her memo buttressed arguments by a growing tide of detractors seeking more restrictions on, and enforcement of, short-term rentals. n PB breweries Karl Strauss Brewing Co. and Amplified Ale Works teamed to help raise funding for the PB Pathways project to make PB more cycling- and pedestrian-friendly. n San Diego Fire Chief Brian Fennessy refuted allegations by the lifeguards’ union that a change to how water-related emergency calls was being handled slowed down lifeguard response times jeopardizing public safety.

Rather Eat a Bug Than Talk to a Realtor?

What’s a Home Buyer or Seller To Do? To be clear, in most cases it is foolish to buy or sell real estate without the assistance of a competent, professional Realtor. But did you know that approximately 70 percent of the home-buying and home-selling public are dissatisfied with their Realtor at the close of escrow (assuming escrow actually closes…40% don’t).

Not to worry, though, because if these momentous home-buying & home-selling decisions of yours are spaced out five years apart, your Realtor has most likely left the profession (80% hang up their heels or wingtips within five years).

If you are like most home sellers, you would like to sell your home, as is, for a tad more than comparable sales in your neighborhood, and sell it more quickly than your neighbors did. Maybe today, for instance? Maybe a bidding war!

If you are like most home buyers, you want a deal: possibly an ultra-chic, modernistic four-bedroom, three-bath home on acreage, definitely with a pool, for the price of a fixer-upper yurt.

I am not necessarily suggesting your dreams are to be dashed, but I am suggesting there are very specific things to do and – equally important -- not do when you attempt to buy or sell a home.

Some Realtors do, on average, sell their listings for 2 – 3 percent higher than the average Realtor. Why do you suppose that is?

Some Realtors can easily save their home-buying clients several thousands of dollars just by pointing them in the right direction as it relates to a mortgage, or by digging a little deeper than just the MLS (multiple listing service) to locate and value any particular property. Any ideas as to why all Realtors don’t expend the extra effort?

Junior Leoso, owner of the all-purpose fitness center in Pacific Beach.

Fun and practical exercise at PB Training

BY DAVE SCHWAB | BEACH & BAY PRESS

New-and-improved Pacific Beach Training is a place “where adults can come and be kids for an hour,” said Junior Leoso, owner of the allpurpose fitness center at 4440 Ingraham St. “The gym should be an adult playground,” said Leoso, a Hawaii native, who’s been revamping the decor and fitness menu at PBT, formerly Addie’s Personal Training Studio, the past couple years.

“We’ve got a new look, feel, name and revamped our brand,” said Leoso. “The gym is built for this community. It’s built with the idea that we offer a well-rounded sportstraining aspect — but not just weight training.”

PBT doesn’t concentrate on any particular workout mode, offering a little of everything instead.

“I hired a kettle bell instructor to teach kettle bells. I hired a fighter to teach fighting classes, etc. So there’s no watered-down effect. We definitely live, and get the benefits from, the fact that we’re a team together,” Leoso said.

PBT offers numerous small-group classes and training courses focusing on a number of fitness facets including nutrition seminars.

“We plan on doing things like that all year long,” said Leoso, whose philosophy is training needs to fit individual lifestyles.

A former semi-professional football player, Leoso initially focused on strength training. But he’s realized as he’s gotten older that fitness is broader-based.

“My idea now is longevity, making sure my clients have good blood work, low body fat, that they enjoy hiking or surfing,” he said. “We have so much to offer, we don’t really have a genre. We don’t have the

‘weightlifting’ guy or the ‘aerobics’ girl. We’ve got everything inbetween.”

Leoso doesn’t counsel clients that “this [exercise mode] is the only way.” Plus, he pointed out, variety is more fun — and practical.

“For 99 percent of the population that goes to the gym for a healthier lifestyle, you’re going to benefit much more from (being) wellrounded,” he said.

Leoso’s goal has always been “to help people,” adding, “fitness just happens to be my key, my tool. People come into my gym, and that’s my chance to help them.”

PBT is the culmination of years of training for Leoso, who noted the industry is a “people business.” He likes the one-on-one contact with clients. He responds to their input on how to improve his programs.

Leoso said his location “is the best, in-between Grand and Garnet on Ingraham between the freeways.”

“To my knowledge, we’re the only small gym with a parking lot (in PB), not street parking,” he added.

More expansion might be on the horizon, and could happen sooner rather than later, Leoso acknowledged.

My parents used a company or a non-lawyer to set up their living trust, should I have a lawyer look at it?

Yes, you should have a lawyer who regularly does estate planning and who prepares living trusts, wills, powers of attorneys and deeds prepare and review your parent’s estate plan. If a trust is not drafted and signed with distribution provisions and proper funding of the assets, you Virginia Weber Laskowitz may not have a trust at all. You may have to go to court (retired) & Shannon T. O’Neill to fix the problem with the trust or to place the property into the trust. This is precisely why your estate planning must be done by an attorney. It is worth the money to have an attorney do it. When you are considering probate costs of tens of thousands of dollars and estate taxes that can be hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is vital to get good legal advice. There are so many steps and complications such as with second marriages, beneficiaries with disabilities, how title to real estate is to be held, whether to include certain relatives, whether to change the beneficiary designation statements and many others. There are changes to forms that must be kept up to date. Our state congress oversees certain forms such as the advanced healthcare directive. The county drafts other forms, for example, the preliminary change of ownership forms that must be sent in when recording a deed. Our federal legislature deals with the laws concerning estate and gift tax. Having an experienced estate planning attorney will ensure that your documents are compliant with the law and that your wishes met.

Christ Lutheran Church sells affordable senior housing complex in Pacific Beach Christ Lutheran Church in Pacific Beach announced on Dec. 14 the sale of Luther View Apartments, a 48-unit affordable senior housing complex that was built in 1979.

The property was sold to Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF), a nonprofit, faith-based property housing provider headquartered in Long Beach with almost 200 housing communities and more than 55 years of experience.

“RHF is pleased and honored that the Leadership of Christ Lutheran

Church has selected us to continue this important affordable housing mission,” said the president of RHF, the Rev. Laverne R. Joseph, D.D. The sale was led by Christ Lutheran Church pastor David Nagler and selected church members.

Robert Vallera and Matthew Kennedy of Voit Real Estate Services in San Diego navigated the sale.

Though the property could have been sold at a far higher price as market-rate, for-profit apartments, Christ Lutheran Church mandated

Rock-a-billy takes over 710 Beach Club in PB Friday night

BY BART MENDOZA | BEACH & BAY PRESS

Rock-a-billy comes to the 710 Beach Club on Jan. 12, with an excellent two-band bill featuring the Hard Fall Hearts and The Cat Chasers. Both bands share a modern take on a classic sound, as well as the trio format, with a standup bass and plenty of punk energy to propel their songs.

However, the long-running favorite here is the Hard Fall Hearts, veterans of numerous U.S. and European tours since their 2008

founding. This band is at their best onstage, indeed, following two studio albums; their latest is a live recording, “At The Merrow,” making it clear that this trio is at their best onstage where their manic energy shines.

at Dizzy’s on Jan. 12, the seven-piece band mostly performs a mix of genre classics and new originals such as “Brass to Bhangra,” each designed to get audience members up on their feet and dancing. Featuring some of the area’s top players including Hard Fall Hearts: Friday, Jan. 12, trombonist April West, baritone/alto at the 710 Beach Club, 710 Garnet sax/clarinet player JP Balmat and Ave. 9 p.m. 21 and up. 710bc.com. drummer Ron Bocian.

Metal heroes, Fates Warning, perform at Brick by Brick on Jan. 13.

Formed in 1982, the band has never scored a chart hit, instead becoming cult heroes to a mass of fans that have kept the band going through a dozen albums. Currently touring behind the album, “Awaken the Guardian Live,” Fates Warning still includes original guitarist John Matheos alongside longtime vocalist Ray Alder, but make no mistake, this is no nostalgia act.

Java Joe’s will host a showcase bill featuring eight of San Diego’s best performers, including Nina Francis, Lindsay White, Gaby Aparicio, Calman Hart, The Brothers Burn, Bobo Czarnowski, Marklyn Retzer and Ren Daversa. Owner Joe Flammini is known for helping many fledgling performers and this bill shows that he is still a major talent spotter, with Euphoria Brass Band: Friday, most of these performers ready to Fates Warning: Saturday, Jan. 13, at Brick by Brick, 1130 Buenos Ave. It’s true that the Euphoria Brass Jan. 12, at Dizzy’s at Arias Hall, move on to the national level.

Ryland Rubens having a blast Down Under Local surfer competing at World Junior Championships

BY DAVE THOMAS | BEACH & BAY PRESS

up to

For Pacific Beach resident Ryland Rubens, there is nothing much better in life than catching a wave. This month, Rubens has been spending time Down Under surfing in the World Junior Championships.

In winning the North America junior tour crown last year, Rubens (who grew up on Mt. Soledad) qualified to head to New South Wales, Australia and compete against some of the top junior surfers in the world.

According to Rubens, his dad (Peter) still surfs pretty much every day. Meantime, his sister (Cheyenne) surfs with the family while attending a local college. As Ryland notes, “It’s great to catch some waves with them both.”

The Beach & Bay Press recently caught up with Ryland (who attends Audeo Charter School, where he will graduate this year) for an email chat as he looks for more surfing victories.

BBP: How long have you been into surfing and how did you get your start?

Rubens: I stared surfing when I was 3. I used to go to the beach with my dad and sister all the time and it became a natural evolution.

BBP: What are you doing in Australia right now as far as competition?

Rubens: I'm currently in Australia for the World Junior Championships and having a blast explor-

ing new areas on the down days between the competitions.

BBP: Do you feel surfing here in San Diego gives you any advantage over surfers from other parts of the country and world?

Rubens: I personally enjoy the waves in San Diego because they're fun and pretty consistent yearround. Every country has different kinds of waves, which makes them all unique. I don't see myself as having an advantage.

BBP: What are your long-term goals with surfing?

Rubens: Long-term would be to keep improving and aim to be on the WCT (World Championship

Tour) 2-3 years from now. It will take a lot of hard work and I will need to earn the points to qualify.

BBP: Any plans for college?

Rubens: Yes, college is in the works. Most likely going to start with online courses as I will be doing a lot of traveling in 2018.

BBP: For any San Diego area kids wanting to take up surfing, what advice would you have for them?

Rubens: I would say just to have fun and enjoy what the ocean has to offer. Competing or not, just being in the ocean is great for many aspects of life and just to take baby steps, because nothing happens overnight.

Bucs basketball makes gains over the holidays

BY DAVE THOMAS | BEACH & BAY PRESS

With the holidays in the rearview mirror, the Mission Bay basketball teams have entered league play.

The boys, under head coach Marshawn Cherry, entered this week at 14-3, ranked No. 1 in San Diego County and 12th in California. Mission Bay opened play in the Western League with its first win over St. Augustine in seven years.

In holiday tournaments, the Bucs lost in the finals of the Corona Centennial Battle ZONE Tournament, won the Sweetwater Holiday Classic, and came in third place at the national Torrey Pines Holiday Classic.

Rejean (Boogie) Ellis is averaging 26 points per game. Meantime, Ronnie Latting has come into his own and is dominating in the paint and on the boards, while Jaymarree Norton has been good as the team’s

Michael Barcia, Savaugh Davis and Andre Scott have also played well and made big plays of late, according to Cherry.

“Our Bucs just want to prove to ourselves and everyone else that we can play with the top programs in the county and take Mission Bay to another level,” Cherry said. “To win league, we will have to grow up and stay locked in.”

The girls entered the week at 2-8 overall, with a 0-2 mark in league play. In recent action, Mission Bay fell at Monte Vista 46-39. The Bucs are slated to face Crawford High at home this Friday evening.

New to the varsity team, Josie Lavalle, Victoria Tapia, Leilani Maanao Maci Grenfell, Maya Jessee have all stepped up and have played well during the holiday stretch.

"We played a close game against a tough Madison team, losing 44-33, as well as a tough loss to Monte Vista in the tournament this past weekend, losing 46-39," said head coach Vince Ichihara.

The Jan. 2 park board meeting drew a crowd of about 200 water users of every type. Users argued the hotel’s expansion was a commercial land grab inconsistent with the park master plan which ignores the needs of countless aquatic recreationalists.

Bahia resort wants to nearly double its capacity expanding from 315 rooms to 600 rooms, while adding a 10-foot walkway and 20foot grass area around Bahia Point park. That would necessitate shifting current public parking along Gleeson Road on the Bahia’s peninsula to other locations further from the shoreline.

Opponents claimed the hotel expansion would deny public access to Bahia Point, a popular launching spot for small sailboats, kayaks and other watercraft. They argued

proposed replacement parking further away from the shoreline would be a hardship on, and inconvenience for, boat owners.

Those contemplated moves upset neighbors and bay users alike, three of whom — Greg Knight, Mike Waters and Scott Andrews — representing boating enthusiasts, met with Beach & Bay Press to explain their displeasure with the hotel’s plans.

“When the parks committee voted yes, it literally was like a sucker punch to the stomach,” said Mission Beach resident Knight, a kayaker. “I think they were a little surprised to see how many people showed up in opposition.”

“I’m a sailor and a very large amount of the shoreline is rip-rap (rocks), which you can’t carry your boat across without at least risking a nasty fall,” said Waters, a sailboat owner. “[Evans] has purposely blocked both ends of the cove so you cannot access it,” claimed Andrews.

“He sees [Bahia Point Park] as his domain. Now he’s making the

power play to get it all.”

“We want parking and traffic studies done,” added Andrews.

Evans said he has offered to put parking in on the existing Bahia Hotel site to accommodate boating users’ needs, adding he, and his hotel’s role are being misrepresented.

“I’m being depicted as a bad guy by people who haven’t read the park master plan, and that these changes have been generated by me and the hotel as part of some land grab,” Evans said. “Really, all of the proposed changes are in the park master plan document that was ratified by both the City Council and Coastal Commission (in the ’90s). Those are now legal documents guiding development in Mission Bay Park.”

Andrews insists the Mission Bay Master plan is dated, arguing it is an advisory document and “not the law.”

In response to the hotel’s recently announced expansion plans, Knight started a Facebook page to rally against the hotel’s expansion as proposed.

YEAR IN REVIEW

THURSDAY · JANUARY 11, 2018 BEACH & BAY PRESS

13

YEAR >> CONT. FROM PG. 5 n The fourth annual Taste of Mission Beach progressive dinner fundraising event May 11, sponsored by Mission Beach Women’s Club, raised funds benefitting Shelter to Soldier, a nonprofit that adopts dogs from rescues and trains them to be psychiatric service dogs for post9/11 combat veterans suffering from PTSD. n The city kickstarted its long-delayed public planning process for the future of Fiesta Island, presenting two different options for a road bisecting the manmade island. Fiesta Island dog owners favored “Option B,” which keeps the fenced-in dog park intact, while Option A would put a road down the dog area. n May was National Hamburger Month and May 28 was National Hamburger Day. BBP profiled some of the best spots to grab a burger at the beach. n The less redevelopment the better was the takeaway from dog owners packing a May 23 scoping meeting at MBHS to hound the city about what they'd like — and not like — to see with long-range planning on Fiesta Island.

JUNE n The Pacific Beach Parking Advisory Board sought public input on what visitors and residents thought about the community's parking and traffic situation via an online survey. n The city approved funding for a roundabout at troublesome Foothill Boulevard and Loring Street intersection. n MB activists lobbied to get more money in the city budget for additional summer trash pickup to combat fly infestation during the busy tourist season. n SeaWorld debuted its new education-oriented “Orca Encounter” show replacing the old Shamu shows lobbied against successfully by animal-rights activists. n PB residents began fighting back against bicycle thievery, documenting the growing illicit repurposing and resale of stolen bikes. n MBHS’s Class of 2017's graduation ceremony June 14 was an ending – and a beginning — a familiar theme cutting across speeches in the commencement program. n The iconic Coaster Saloon in MB was sold for an undisclosed sum to Davies LLC, led by David Cohn of the Cohn Restaurant Group. n Following Coastal Commission review, the City Council approved zoning changes to a slightly downscaled project, with somewhat larger park space, that would redevelop the former Mission Beach Elementary School into condominiums. n The iconic building on the corner of Garnet Avenue and Fanuel Street in PB was named The Rose Center after the late Dr. Nathaniel Rose. n Thieves were warned by SDPD during a June 29 press conference that the bait bike program was in “full effect,” and that criminals caught stealing would face certain punishment.

JULY

POLAR PLUNGE About two dozen participants run into the ocean in Mission Beach for a Polar Plunge on the morning of New Year’s Day. Saska’s steakhouse restaurant in Mission Beach hosted the Polar Plunge and other fun activities to start 2018.

JOHN COCOZZA / CONTRIBUTOR n San Diego Audubon, spearheading a wetlands reclamation effort in the city’s ongoing De Anza Revitalization Plan, credited the city for backing habitat restoration — but claimed it wasn’t enough. “What is missing is the longterm view to ensure wetlands can continue to create cleaner water, buffer communities from sea-level rise, provide habitat for wildlife and get people out in nature,” said Audubon’s Rebecca Schwartz Lesberg.

AUGUST n Some PB residents near Kate Sessions Park were upset about the city's plans to sell the old 4.76-acre reservoir site in north PB, one of the beach community's last remaining developable open spaces offering views to the west. n The city and DecoBike both backed off on boardwalk bike-sharing, a sore spot with MB and PB small businesses complaining bikeshare was directly competing with them by taking away business.

SEPTEMBER n Catherine Jolley, former PB Town Council president, was named Citizen of the Year for Pacific Beach. Jolley received the honor for the continued support she has provided and for the season-opening breakfast she organized for all lifeguard divisions together. n A Pacific Beach man, Matt Phillips, launched a petition drive on change.org calling for coastal churches to end homeless “feeds,” a practice rekindling public debate over whether homeless need a hand out — or a hand up. n PB Town Council held its annual heartfelt salute to local emergency workers who make a difference in the community during the Police and Emergency Services Appreciation Night (PAESAN) Sept. 27.

n Crystal Pier celebrated its 90th anniversary. Since it was dedicated in 1927, the landmark at 4500 Ocean Blvd. has had numerous owners, two names, a ballroom, a carnival and 270 more feet. n The public weighed-in on an environmental impact report for a Balboa Avenue trolley stop, one of nine planned for the Mid-Coast Trolley project extending trolley service 11 miles OCTOBER from Sante Fe Depot downtown to University n Miller's Field in PB, which celebrated its City, ending at UTC and serving major activity 10th anniversary earlier in the year, announced centers including Old Town and two stops at the prime retail space on Mission Boulevard was UC San Diego. sold to Breakfast Republic, a fast-growing chain.

n The annual Pacific BeachFest marked 20 years of celebration with music, beer and fish tacos along the boardwalk. n Responding to a petition drive by a PB man asking churches to stop feeding the homeless, local church leaders said the free meals are part of their mission, and a convenient way to provide outreach services to the needy. n An ongoing City of San Diego project to replace and rehabilitate aging water and sewer infrastructure led to road closures throughout PB – specifically Ingraham Street and bridge, along with other side streets in Crown Point. n Larissa Miller created Balinese-inspired PI Yoga Pants, the newest sensation in namaste apparel. n The first meeting between church leaders and concerned neighbors over problems surrounding churches feeding the homeless in PB was described by both parties as encouraging, though no action was taken. Stakeholders agreed to meet regularly. n Gordon Walker, one of San Diego's new homeless “czars,” was on the receiving end of some community angst surrounding the complex social issue during an Oct. 18 Q&A session at PB Town Council.

n A hepatitis A outbreak had 16 cases reported in Pacific and Mission beaches, 11 in OB and Point Loma and three in La Jolla. n The City Attorney’s Office Nov. 2 defeated a lawsuit that sought to invalidate the City of San Diego’s lease of Belmont Park in Mission Beach to a company that has invested more than $20 million in improvements to the oceanfront amusement park. n A plan nearly two decades in the making to replace the decrepit West Mission Bay Drive bridge over the San Diego River was unanimously approved Nov. 14 by the City Council.

The $155 million project will replace the 1950s-era four-lane bridge that connects the Midway area and Mission Bay Park with two three-lane bridges.

DECEMBER

n PB resident Mildred (Millie) Stuart celebrated her 100th birthday at St. Brigid Parish Hall. She has resided in the same home she and her husband built in the early ’60s. n Officials unveiled plans to spend $117 million during the next decade upgrading Mission Bay Park providing new amenities, restoring marshland and creating additional habitat for endangered species.
