Impact analysis
The project would generate Quimby Act park fees and other impact fees, calculated when building permits are issued.
Future homebuyers get new for-purchase townhomes, and the city gains infill housing on vacant commercial-zoned land.
Nearby Sea View Estates residents face more traffic on Victoria and Channel Islands Boulevard, and buyers could be exposed to unmitigated groundwater contamination risk if safety measures lag.
