The developer, which is an affiliate of American Assets Inc., has resubmitted a new proposal for The Village at Lomas Santa Fe project to the City of Solana Beach, which will now conduct a 30-day review period. According to company officials, "the most substantial changes to the original plan" include a decrease in the total number of apartment units from 90 to 75, an increase in the quantity of on-site parking stalls, the implementation of a subterranean parking structure and more landscape buffers, as well as a revised street design that would not require the narrowing of the adjacent San Andres Drive.

Pacific Solana Beach Holdings modified its proposal "in response to community concerns, City Planning and Engineering input and the results of future parking and traffic analysis," says John Chamberlain, CEO of American Assets. "We feel that with these revisions, this project offers an important benefit to the community," he adds, pointing out that 13 of the complex's 75 units will be offered to low-income residents.

If approved, the project will rise on a 3.1-acre parcel adjacent to Lomas Santa Fe Plaza. Amenities will include barbeque facilities, private outdoor patio areas, spas and a fitness center.
