The Carmel Valley Planning Board has announced that the May 24, 2012 meeting will be at the Carmel Valley Middle School located at 3800 Mykonos Lane, San Diego, CA 92130 in the Performing Arts Center at 7:00 pm. That's good, because the larger venue will allow additional people to attend, although the parking at the Middle School can be terrible. Arrive early to find a parking spot! I don't have the agenda yet, but at least the board's One Paseo DEIR comment letter will be heard. I'll post the information when it's available. I encourage everyone to learn more about this project, both at the developer's One Paseo site, which paints a rosy view, and at the "What Price Main Street" site, which is concerned about impacts to the community.
