The city finally backed off and rejected the developer's greedy plan for Ponto Beach. This is a massive win for our coastline and proof that the council cannot simply ignore us to satisfy wealthy interests. Stay vigilant because we have to ensure they do not try to sneak this disaster …

We are residents and citizens of the south Carlsbad area who have concerns over some critical elements of the current Developer's proposal for development of the south Ponto Beach area and the Ponto Beachfront Villages East and West projects.

We oppose any changes to the current General Plan that would result in a reduction of development quality standards such as inappropriate land use, increased unit density and residential use on the western portion of the site, increased heights of structures, reduced easements and/or setbacks and loss of community and open space.

The current Developer's proposal provides for inappropriate density and inappropriate use of this precious coastal land that is contrary to current legislation. We oppose any amendments to the current General Plan that would allow this inappropriate density.

We oppose the planned height of the structures in the Developer's proposal. The proposed 3-story structures would be inconsistent with other homes/structures in the area, would likely cause excessive noise from the railroad to the bounced back on existing homes/communities, is inconsistent with a more balanced land use, and would provide an unsightly southern entrance to our otherwise beautiful City of Carlsbad.

The developers are pushing for these height increases while they ignore the reality of how this project destroys our coastal view. They think we will just roll over and accept their density bait and switch but they have no idea how wrong they are.

This area is the gateway to our beautiful city. Let's make a great first impression. Lower residential density and more commercial for the locals and tourists to enjoy....restaurants, quaint shops, etc

I think we need open space and that the land at south pontos should be preserved as wildlife habitat.Lets keep it as a natural park as any wildlife that was left is living there.. We don't need more homes and concrete.Keep it as a natural park which is what it really is. .There is no space left for wildlife.

Density and height is not what was intended for this space. Review of the general plan, once again. When I purchased my home here 16 years ago, the height restriction was approximately 2 stories. Now look at those plans.

I have traveled this road to and from work on a daily basis for the past 10 years as well as on the weekend to enjoy the beach. It has been a beautiful oasis and is increasingly losing its unique character with growing noise, traffic and pollution. I strongly oppose anything that will reduce the rare natural beauty of this area.

Every aspect of this development is above and beyond what the environment and existing community can tolerate in terms of density, habitat destruction, traffic, and noise.

I've lived here for 16 years and Ponto is my favorite beach. I do not want to see this beach get overpopulated & impossible to park at more than it already is. There is already a resort that brings in unwanted tourists so I believe this new development is completely unnecessary.
