Just north of the A Line's Duarte Station, construction is complete for a new multifamily residential development from MBK Rental Living Solana at Duarte Station located on a 3.4-acre site on Fasana Road just east of Duarte Road is a five-story wrap-style building that includes 292 studio “We are very excited to welcome our first residents to this beautiful community as they settle into a truly one-of-a-kind lifestyle,” said MBK Rental Living president Ken McCarren in a statement “Solana is a lively community that blends lush outdoor spaces with modern conveniences This creates an elevated living experience unmatched in the region which promotes togetherness during a time when connection is more important than ever.” A leasing website advertises rents ranging from $2,436 to $5,545 per month TCA Architects designed the contemporary low-rise structure which includes amenities such as a swimming pool publicly-accessible open spaces include a new "entertainment alleyway," with space for food trucks and events The property also features pocket parks and a linear park with a dog area Solana is the second component of a two-phase development from MBK, which started with the 344-unit Esperanza apartment complex next door. Jamboree Housing is set to follow with a 100-unit affordable housing complex on a site across the street Twitter / Facebook / LinkedIn / Threads / Instagram / Bluesky Print In 1974 Dave Hodges was reconnecting with an old friend over a few beers when he realized that there was a shortage of hip establishments in North San Diego County which he had just earned a degree in from the University of San Diego After a long search for the right location Hodges discovered a Quonset hut on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach corrugated steel building had been used by the Navy during World War II and more recently by a waterbed manufacturer that had gone out of business Hodges named his new bar the Belly Up Tavern “We were looking for a place where a couple of old friends could go for a few beers,” Hodges said in a 1989 interview with The Times. “Something like an English pub, not dark and dreary, not a place that smelled bad.” The bar’s early clientele was mostly blue-collar workers who came for the chess and checker boards, pool tables and to throw darts. There was even a library where patrons could check out novels for some bar-side reading, Hodges recalled. “We were supported by plumbers, electricians and carpenters, people who wanted a quiet spot for a few brews,” he said. “It was low-key.” It then morphed into one of SoCal’s longest running (and loudest) music venues and the site of many historic shows, from Tom Jones to Snoop Dogg. During its early years, the venue showcased roots music and gathered a loyal clientele. Hodges built a low stage using leftover materials from the waterbed business, and the venue hosted blues, bluegrass and rock ’n’ roll artists. Big Mama Thornton, Etta James and Albert Collins were just a few of the blues greats who frequently played at the Belly Up during the disco era. The venue also built a reggae fan base by bringing such Jamaican superstars as Eek-A-Mouse, U-Roy and Toots and the Maytals to North County. How to make a great set list: Bonnie Raitt, the Who and Squeeze share their secrets. ‘It’s not a drag, it’s an honor’ By the 1990s, the Belly Up was hosting artists that had achieved more mainstream success, among them George Clinton, No Doubt and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Around this time, Hodges met Steve Goldberg and Phil Berkovitz, owners of a nearby restaurant called Pacific Coast Grill. Some bands that played the Belly Up would perform at the restaurant on Thursdays under alternate names. Among them was popular San Diego band the Beat Farmers, which played shows at the restaurant as the Incredible Hayseeds. Hodges, Goldberg and Berkovitz developed a friendship and regularly frequented each other’s businesses. “We got to be friends,” Goldberg says. “And we just said, ‘Look man, if you ever want to sell, we’re the guys. We understand what your vision is, and we wouldn’t mess it up.’” Hodges sold the Belly Up Tavern, along with an adjoining restaurant, to Goldberg and Berkovitz in 2003. The two have stayed true to the venue’s spirit while nurturing its growth, so much so that many of its Belly Up’s employees have worked there for decades, with some predating the current ownership. The Belly Up has undergone a fair share of change over the years, like dropping “Tavern” and showcasing performances from household names such as Jones, Snoop Dogg and the Rolling Stones. During the COVID-19 pandemic closures, Goldberg and Berkovitz used their time off to renovate the restaurant next door, dubbing it the Belly Up Tavern, while the venue remained the Belly Up. Today, fliers from past concerts cover the walls of the restaurant, immersing customers in the club’s history. This reverence for the past, along with the inherent intimacy of the 600-capacity venue, invite audience members to experience the Belly Up’s concerts, rather than just witnessing them. Steel Pulse at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times) Goldberg and Berkovitz attribute much of the Belly Up’s success to their philosophy. “Noncorporate professionalism has been our mantra,” Goldberg says. “There’s so much consolidation, and we don’t want to be thought of as anything other than us: the experience that we have and the vibe that we put out.” That’s not to say that they’re opposed to reaching a wider audience. Last year, the Belly Up started exclusively booking concerts at the Sound, a 1,900-capacity concert hall on the Del Mar Fairgrounds. They also work alongside corporate promoters to put on larger shows around Southern California. “We produce a lot of shows outside the Belly Up, and we have to work with a lot of those big companies,” Goldberg says. “We’re not enemies. We don’t find that distasteful at all. We’re just working with people to create great events.” Another of the Belly Up’s not-so-secret weapons is Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Goldsmith. Shortly after seeing Mongo Santamaria at the Belly Up on his 21st birthday, Goldsmith started playing at the venue with his band, Borracho y Loco. This led to a job with the venue’s booking agency in 1988. Goldsmith brought blues, reggae and world music artists to the stage for six years before moving away and venturing into album production, working with such artists as the Blind Boys of Alabama, Charlie Musselwhite and Harper. Goldsmith returned to Southern California shortly after Goldberg and Berkovitz purchased the Belly Up and started booking events again before eventually taking a full-time position. Along with a professor and students from San Diego State, Goldsmith developed the idea of televising concerts with a show called “Live at the Belly Up,” which continues to air on the local public TV station KPBS. “It’s entirely shot by students,” he says. “We could never do this without the university’s support.” This allows film students to build their resumes and network with artists, he adds. As the current president of the club, Goldsmith was tasked with planning a celebration for the Belly Up’s 50th anniversary, driven by the 50-show series. “If you’ve got 50 shows, times 600 people, if we’re lucky enough to sell them all out, that’s 30,000 people,” Goldsmith said. “So how do you celebrate the anniversary of a 600-cap venue with 30,000 people? Well, you spread it out over four months.” Customers enjoy drinks and food at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times) Like most of the artists booked for the concert series, roots reggae icons Steel Pulse are no strangers to the Belly Up. “It’s been like family,” says frontman and songwriter David Hinds. “If it was a house, I’d be a lodger or a tenant or whatever you call it in America,” he laughs. In August, Steel Pulse played to a sold-out crowd. From the first downbeat to the last, audience members danced and bobbed their heads, bearing a resemblance to the nearby ocean. X marks the end: L.A. punk band winds down after nearly 50 years together To this day “It really dates back to that original seed that was planted by the original owner and the first crew that was in there,” Goldsmith says and they invested a lot of time and energy into exposing local San Diego to that kind of music I think that left an archetypal imprint on the club and on the community that’s still there today.” The concert series will continue through October, with Built to Spill, Jason Mraz and the Wallflowers among the artists booked in the coming weeks. Tickets and a complete lineup can be found at the Belly Up’s website. After 50 years, Hodges still owns the Quonset hut that houses the club. Goldberg and Berkovitz are proud to carry on the Belly Up’s legacy and look forward to bringing live music to Solana Beach for many years to come. “Dave Hodges, we proved him wrong, man,” Goldberg says with a laugh. “We never went belly up.” Music World & Nation Entertainment & Arts Lifestyle Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map Located at 1405 La Solana Drive in Altadena the house was home to its renowned architect who lived in the residence he designed until his death in the 1950s Mr. Greene was an American architect who achieved international acclaim in 1952 when he received special recognition from the American Institute of Architects for his work. He spent his career working alongside his brother, Charles Sumner Greene, at the legendary Greene and Greene architecture firm in Pasadena The firm was established in 1894 and is known for designing Craftsman bungalows “Declaring this special house as a County landmark is a way to celebrate and preserve the rich architectural history that makes Altadena unique,” stated Supervisor Kathryn Barger “I want to ensure future generations see and appreciate Altadena’s history and diversity which is also reflected in the homes that fill its neighborhoods The Greene home is a local jewel that deserves to be protected.” The house was completed in 1926 and has had no alterations that have impacted its historical integrity It is designed in a Mediterranean Revival Style which is based on the design elements of historic architecture from Spain and Italy as well as the California missions Common features of this style include white plastered walls The official Los Angeles County Landmark

town it was home to farmworkers brought in to harvest crops They formed a close-knit community called La Colonia that still exists today As part of ABC 10News' Hispanic Heritage Month coverage Jim Avila takes us there for an in-depth look at the community's history There are three distinct sounds that filled the streets of La Colonia de Eden Gardens now part of Solana Beach in the North County: The mission bell on Sunday morning whistle that called teenagers to the street to meet friends and the roosters who used to awaken the farmworkers who lived on these blocks The farmworkers and roosters are both gone now We are the first neighborhood of Solana Beach," says Lisa Montes of the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society There were no homes here at that time and there was no irrigation "We had what was called Tent City way back when And we had outhouses in those days," says Montes The neighborhood goes back to the turn of the 20th century when Mexican Americans recruited to pick produce in the area were not allowed to live near the beach or the ranches to the east in Rancho Santa Fe close enough for them to work but not too close to the white family farms “This was a racially segregated community for only Mexican-Americans; it was primarily for Mexican-Americans and they could not live in Rancho Santa Fe," says Montes They planted resilient roots in their isolated community building stores and restaurants that remain today still operates today and is a La Colonia landmark two of the community's well-known Mexican restaurants Its residents were not welcome in the rest of Solana Beach They were turned away because they were Mexican," says Montes A park at the center of La Colonia holds the first house built here historic pictures bring one back to days when 90 families built small homes built by the farmworkers and laborers in 1920s Joe Villasenor is a fifth generation La Colonia resident His family was one of the original residents “They were told that this was the only place they could live I think they made a flourishing community," Villasenor says A lot of our family — they helped build a lot of the homes here.” Those families are honored on a mural in the area: A tree of life in La Colonia this is dedicated to the first families of La Colonia," says Montes This is something we have deep roots in," says Villasenor Solana Beach’s little know first community is still alive as a monument to the workers who helped feed us all This system creates a verifiable and secure timestamp for each transaction which allows nodes to process transactions without needing to communicate with one another significantly speeding up the transaction processing time Solana utilizes a unique model, where PoH works in tandem with a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism PoH allows for the recording of the order of events and the time that has passed between them which mitigates the need for traditional consensus-building processes The PoS mechanism then finalizes these transactions and secures the network by allowing validators with a stake (investment) in the system to propose and vote on the validity of new blocks positioning it among the faster blockchain networks This focus on transaction speed is in line with Yakovenko's stated vision for the blockchain may be seen as an appealing feature for both businesses and individual

Miocene through the Pleistocene periods due to the abundant faunal remains preserved in some cases associated with lithic tools The Solana del Zamborino (SZ) section has been the subject of controversy ever since a magnetostratigraphic analysis resulted in an age of 750–770 Kyr for Acheulean tools a chronology significantly older than the ~600 Kyr established chronology for the first Acheulean record in Europe Although recent findings at the “Barranc de la Boella” site (north-east of the Iberian Peninsula) seem to indicate that an earlier introduction of such technique in Europe around 0.96–0.781 Ma is possible the precise age of the classical site at SZ is still controversial The aim of this paper is to constrain the chronology of the site by developing a longer magnetostratigraphic record we carried out an exhaustive sampling in a new succession at SZ Our results provide a ~65 m magnetostratigraphic record in which 4 magnetozones of normal polarity are found Our new magnetostratigraphic data suggest an age range between 300–480 Kyr for the lithic tools closer to the age of traditional Acheulean sites in Europe sands and gravels (locally palustrine

at the University of Oxford (England) on a pilot set of specimens Low field magnetic susceptibility was measured with a Kappabridge model KLY2 with a CS3 oven incorporated Further analyses were carried out using a cryogenic magnetometer 2 G enterprises DC including an online degausser for alternating field (AF) demagnetization the remaining specimens were processed at the National Research

It also serves as an alarming example of how political, economic and bureaucratic forces have converged to drive up the cost of such housing at a time when growing numbers of Californians need it. “I have sticker shock,” Hitzke said. “It’s insane.” California These are some of the unusual new scenes across the Southland during the coronavirus outbreak California leads the nation in the cost of building government-subsidized apartment complexes for low-income residents A Times analysis of state data found that apartments cost an average of about $500,000 The notoriously high price of land and the rising cost of construction materials are part of the reason But The Times found that numerous factors within the control of state and local governments also are to blame including opposition from neighbors and rules that compel developers to meet labor and environmental standards that often exceed what’s required for luxury condominiums All this has complicated California’s efforts to alleviate its homelessness and affordable housing crises driven by a shortage of 1.3 million homes for low-income households sky-high rental prices and a poverty rate to match With the coronavirus pandemic already leading to significant job losses, particularly in the low-wage hospitality and service industries, experts believe the demand for affordable housing is only going to grow The economic damage also is likely to severely depress government tax revenue leaving less money available to finance new construction That steps up pressure on California to overhaul the way it builds low-income housing, said Carolina Reid, faculty research advisor at UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation and author of a new study on the cost to build low-income housing from cities to developers to construction workers is going to face stress from the coronavirus for years,” Reid said “This public health crisis adds more urgency to making the reforms we had already needed.” In recent years, voters across California have approved billions of dollars to build homes for low-income families and homeless people. But those plans often have failed to meet public expectations because those billions build fewer and fewer apartments How an affordable housing project topped $1 million per apartment (Priya Krishnakumar / Los Angeles Times) In addition to the Pearl The Times found six affordable housing developments in California — all in the Bay Area — that have eclipsed $900,000 per apartment to build as well Half opened in the last year and the rest are under construction Building costs have soared far from the coast as well the cost has climbed 70% in the last decade the average price for affordable housing has doubled to $376,000 per apartment an amount a third higher than a median single-family home Why do these homes cost so much to build? One reason is that regulations require developers to pay construction workers union-level wages. Another is California’s labyrinthine financing process, which forces developers to navigate a dozen different funding programs controlled by five separate departments with authority divided between the governor and state treasurer. Developers also have to appease local governments, which often make projects less economically viable by insisting on fewer apartments and more parking. That happened in the wealthy San Diego County enclave of Solana Beach, where the Pearl was cut from 18 apartments to 10 and its approval required an underground garage with 53 parking spots. The cumulative result is that millions of Californians have been unable to find an affordable place to live. The Pearl’s saga began three decades ago in a rundown motel in Solana Beach. Miguel Zamora, who lived in the motel with his wife and four children, remembers that the hot water came and went, the roof leaked and toilets overflowed. Cockroaches, fleas and rats infested the rooms. “It was all dirt,” said Zamora, who worked in construction and as a dishwasher and gardener. “It wasn’t even paved.” Zamora and the others also received federal housing assistance vouchers, which helped him find an apartment five miles away from the old motel. His family has been living there for the last two decades, but the apartment they never received still weighs on his mind. Should the Pearl or other low-income housing ever get built in the city, Zamora has the right to move in first. He longs to bring his extended family together in a place that feels more like home. “I’d like to enjoy my grandchildren,” said Zamora, 67. “Because being apart is hard.” Even though the deadline to provide the affordable housing was 1999, it took almost another 10 years for Solana Beach’s leaders to take the first step of asking developers to pitch projects. Housing & Homelessness To understand why it can cost $1 million to build a single unit of affordable housing Hitzke proposed building the Pearl on a 20,000-square-foot public parking lot situated along a bluff on the same block as the old motel and a beach access point The 18 apartments included enough three- and four-bedroom units to accommodate Zamora’s family and the others entitled to new housing Residents and the public would pay for parking in an underground garage The Pearl would cost $414,000 per apartment to build City officials were intrigued but knew the idea would cause problems among Solana Beach’s 13,000 residents The community has a median annual household income of more than $100,000 separated by a white fence from timeshare rentals Across a tree-lined street is a three-story condominium complex where a two-bedroom unit recently sold for $1.2 million After a year of negotiations with the city Hitzke agreed to shrink the Pearl to 10 apartments and make it free for the public to park in the 53-space garage The redesign raised the price of the project to just under $600,000 per apartment Hitzke and city officials were ready to unveil the Pearl to Solana Beach’s residents “Low-income people tend to own cars that are in disrepair and ride motorcycles adding to the noise of a ‘lights out at 8 p.m wrote in 2011 in a letter to the City Council that was later cited in a lawsuit over the project Rinaldi and others said that affordable housing didn’t belong in their community The vast majority of housing is subsidized by the government low-income renters receive far less than homeowners who can take a tax deduction for interest paid on their mortgages each year federal and state governments spend billions of dollars on affordable rental housing The primary way it’s funded is through tax credits which reduce what banks and other large investors owe the Internal Revenue Service and state treasury if they help pay for housing projects a family of four must make no more than $62,640 a year to qualify for housing built for those earning less than 60% of the region’s median income that family would pay a maximum of $1,410 a month for a two-bedroom apartment Many large states have only one department that hands out affordable housing funding And those departments report to different elected officials leaving no one in charge of overseeing the system as a whole Gov. Gavin Newsom has learned this lesson the hard way. Last year, he issued an executive order that aimed to speed up construction and reduce the cost of affordable housing by offering state-owned land for development One of the first projects to take advantage was a proposal for 56 small studios in downtown Sacramento a department that hands out bond financing for affordable housing — one controlled by the Treasurer’s Office not Newsom — rejected funding for the project Developers have to file a series of applications to access a dozen different funding programs that have their own regulations determining what projects win there are three separate programs to finance homeless housing and four geared toward affordable housing near mass transit — each with different rules To win state dollars, developers often first have to secure funding from locally run affordable housing programs and bond measures — such as the Proposition HHH homeless housing bond in Los Angeles — that have their own regulations the process of cobbling together multiple streams of revenue is expensive The Times found that each additional funding source increases the average per-unit cost by more than $6,000 The volume of financing requirements leads developers to hire consultants GAO study found that 14% of the price tag for California’s affordable housing projects was made up of these types of administrative costs — the highest in the country and more than developers spend on land president of the California Housing Partnership Corp. “The folks in our office who work on all these applications they’re just going bananas,” Schwartz said The state is so overwhelmed that at a public meeting last summer a top deputy with the Treasurer’s Office admitted that he had recently discovered piles of paper stacked in an office because staff couldn’t process them quickly enough Newsom has promised to lead an effort this year to simplify how developers get state money for affordable housing “I’ve just had enough with TCAC and CDLAC and OPRs and CalVets and HCDs and CalHFAs,” the governor said name-dropping the alphabet soup of departments involved in financing projects while unveiling his budget proposal in January “Six of you understand what the hell I just said The Solana Beach City Council finally approved the Pearl at the end of a four-hour meeting in spring 2014 the association for the condominium complex across the street sued arguing that the city couldn’t build housing on the land because the deed required it to be a parking lot The condo association lost the case and an appeal Everett Commons in Alameda which is providing housing for 20 families at a cost of $947,000 per apartment (Josh Edelson / For The Times) Afterward Hitzke was able to win some tax credits from the state but the legal delay presented her with a new challenge: construction costs She attributes nearly all the 62% increase in the price per apartment in the six years since the project was approved to labor and materials the UC Berkeley study found that those costs have gone up 30% for California affordable housing projects in that time With a cost of building at $1.1 million per apartment Hitzke hasn’t been able to find enough state and local money to break ground The state and local governments have refused to give her the $1 million she still needed And neighbors have never stopped fighting the development a resident of a timeshare next to the site proposed for the Pearl speculating that the retail space in the building would be “a food stamp office for the low-income housing.” Solana Beach leaders have continued to support the Pearl contending much of the costs of building are unavoidable in a community where the median home value is $1.4 million Hitzke said she’d have enough money to build the development which is less than a mile from a major commuter rail stop if she didn’t have to include the large underground parking garage But City Councilman David Zito defended the garage Even if Solana Beach were legally allowed to do away with the parking morally obligated” to replace it because of “residential harmony.” It’s the same reason he believed the Pearl’s height should fit in with the surrounding neighborhood — so it doesn’t remind people of notorious high-rise public housing “You start talking about big projects that are wholly affordable and people start thinking about ‘projects,’ right Like Cabrini-Green in Chicago or something like that,” said Zito the only elected official who voted to approve the Pearl who remains on the council “That then turns into a whole different discussion.” Elected officials in other cities have had second thoughts about bowing to public pressure the Bay Area city of Alameda opened Everett Commons a low-income development providing homes for 20 families at a cost of $947,000 per apartment to build That project did not face the same level of opposition as the Pearl But in the decade before Everett Commons’ approval the number of proposed apartments shrank from 36 to 20 A notice of permit application is posted at the site of the Pearl a proposed affordable housing project in Solana Beach Schaben / Los Angeles Times) John Knox White who voted for Everett Commons while on the planning commission and now serves on the City Council said he regrets how little the city prioritized low-income families who were being forced out of Alameda It’s a system that “provides excessive and undue voice and influence for people who are connected to the political process,” he said “Who is speaking and who is being heard is very skewed and it’s skewed toward people who have land and property.” Even if state officials are able to streamline bureaucracy and local officials are able to fend off naysaying neighbors other drivers of California’s high housing costs remain tied to goals embraced by key Democratic constituencies: labor unions and environmentalists Many state and local funding programs require low-income housing developers to pay union-level wages to construction workers these rules require developers to pay plumbers $51 an hour compared with their $24-an-hour median wage in the region The UC Berkeley report found that projects paying union-level wages can cost $50,000 more per apartment To have the best chance of winning tax credit funding, low-income housing developers also must build their projects to environmental standards that exceed even what the state requires of developers of new luxury condominiums. That includes using solar power for most of their electricity or certifying their energy efficiency with LEED or other third parties. The thinking is state-funded affordable housing should be “the most superior, energy-efficient buildings in the world,” said Doug Shoemaker, a senior vice president at nonprofit developer Mercy Housing. “I’m not sure that that last bit of benefit really is worth the cost.” The UC Berkeley study found that projects built to stricter environmental standards cost $17,000 more per apartment than those that aren’t. The Pearl’s funding requirements called for the building to be LEED-certified and for Hitzke to pay union-level wages for construction workers. The initial budget had left room for a profit. But as early as 2013, Hitzke realized that she wasn’t going to make any money on the deal. Now it looks like the Pearl won’t happen at all. In December, the state informed her that it was planning to pull her funding because the project hadn’t broken ground. A month ago, Hitzke met with city officials to tell them she wanted out of her development agreement. “I am thrilled to be done with this thing,” Hitzke said. “It’s done nothing but kill me. But at the same time, I tried to do everything I could to get it done.” Zamora and his family, meanwhile, are still waiting in their apartment five miles away. When he drives by his old community these days, he feels only disappointment. “It’s sad to see the place so desolate,” Zamora said. Times staff writer Ryan Menezes contributed to this report.

See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Most of the city’s seaside homes sit nearly 90 feet above the beach behind a carefully crafted, faux-rock seawall that protects the base of the cliffs from the erosion of the surf. At high tide, Solana Beach has no beach. The waves crash against the concrete walls almost everywhere except Fletcher Cove, which the town fathers carved out from the bluffs with fire hoses during a development boom in the early 1920s. But on the northern end of town, there’s a 50-foot gap where one house has no seawall — and on Sept. 10, 2020, the Coastal Commission board again denied the property owners permission to build one. Only houses in place before the state passed its Coastal Act in 1972 are allowed to build or replace seawalls. Commission staffers will present additional information at the agency’s virtual meeting this week, but the board’s position is unlikely to change. Commissioner Roberto Uranga of Long Beach said at the September meeting that the Solana Beach house is a “poster child” for managed retreat. The often-controversial policy advocates moving buildings away from vulnerable spots on the coast and letting nature take its course. Other commissioners said it was disturbing that the property that would get the most benefit from the seawall, 245 Pacific Ave., was not included in the recent application. Instead, it was submitted by owners of the neighboring properties to the north and south. “It just smells funny to me,” said Commissioner Mike Wilson, a resident of Eureka and member of the Humbolt County Board of Supervisors. The Coastal Commission and environmental groups such as the Surfrider Foundation oppose the construction of seawalls, often called armoring, because studies show they accelerate beach erosion. Also, in cities such as Solana Beach, homeowners build their seawalls on public property outside their lot, essentially using land that doesn’t belong to them for their personal benefit. The home at 245 Pacific Ave. is an unusual case. Built in the 1990s to replace an earlier house on the site, the structure has a deed restriction that prohibits construction of a seawall. Despite that and the Coastal Act policies, the owners have applied repeatedly for a seawall, and the commission has denied it. Neighbors on both sides of the denied seawall, whose homes were built in the 1950s, also want to plug the 50-foot gap in their coastal armor. Without a solid wall, the sea, wind and rain will eat away the bluff through the notch, destroying the cliffs that support their multimillion-dollar ocean-view homes. The houses are on small lots and set back just 10 to 20 feet from the street, so there’s no room for any of them to be moved or rebuilt farther from the cliff. One of the houses, at 241 Pacific, is just 3 feet from the edge, according to a commission staff report. The primary structure of the house at 245 Pacific is a little more than 22 feet away, but anyone standing on the beach below can look up and see that the deck hangs out over the edge. Coastal bluffs recede at the average rate of 6 inches annually in San Diego County. The Coastal Commission requires a minimum setback of 40 feet from the bluff’s edge. So, absent any armoring, a structure built in the 1950s or ‘60s would have lost more than half of its backyard by now. Seawalls protect only the base of the cliff, and in Solana Beach the walls are about 35 feet high. The application for 245 Pacific also requested permits to install a “geogrid” structure, to protect the face of the bluff for an additional 40 feet above the seawall. While the base of the bluff is a relatively solid sandstone, above that is a 10-foot layer of “clean sand.” That layer of sand in the middle of the bluff is especially vulnerable to erosion. “Once exposed, [the sand] is susceptible to windblown erosion and continued sloughing as the sand dries out and loses the capillary tension that initially held the materials together,” the commission’s staff report says. “Geotechnical reports ... have stated that minor disturbances such as gentle sea breezes, landing birds or vibrations from low-flying helicopters can be sufficient triggers of small- or large-volume bluff collapses.” Once the middle level of sand falls away, the terraced deposits of the upper bluff are no longer supported. Something as minor as traffic vibration can cause a sudden collapse. Surfrider’s representatives say the property owners were well aware of the danger when they chose to rebuild at the edge of the bluff in 1996. “By 2001 they were already asking for, and denied, a notch infill” to plug a hole in the bluff, said Kristen Brinner, a Solana Beach resident and Surfrider volunteer, at the September board meeting. “In 2014 and 2019, they also applied for seawalls and were denied. This is all a part of a pattern of games they have been playing with the property ... for over 15 years.” Anders Aannestad, an attorney for the property owners in the most recent permit application, said the request is not a game. There is no alternative to the seawall, and the public would benefit as well, Aannestad said. The threat of a bluff collapse endangers anyone on the beach. “This type of gap creates a deadly alley that the city of Solana Beach has had to close off to avoid a repeat of the kind of tragedy we saw in Encinitas,” he said. Three women were killed when a bluff collapsed on them at Grandview Beach on Aug. 2, 2019. “It does not make sense to put the public at risk and lose beach area,” said Aannestad, adding that it contradicts the Coastal Act’s provision that allows residents to protect their property. Surfrider has called for the immediate removal of the house at 245 Pacific, stating it is “clearly in an unsafe location.” But the Coastal Commission staff has stated that the conditions do not yet meet the specifications of the 1996 deed restrictions. The deed requires that once the bluff recedes to within 10 feet of the primary structure, any portions of the building that are seaward of the 40-foot setback must be removed, according to the staff report.
