Questions newly raised about seal and sea lion protections and possibly adding more properties to the district necessitate responses by proponents that must be reviewed by the State Historical Resources Commission.
With the city seeking to woo housing developers, its first comprehensive review of historical protections in many years comes as some neighborhoods see such rules as a line of defense against high-density housing.
La Jolla cityhood proposal, Point La Jolla, La Casa de los Amigos, Adelante Townhomes, business burglaries, sidewalk vendors and the La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District are some of the issues that made headlines.
The gazebo near La Jolla Cove will remain cordoned off so San Diego can evaluate the conditions and assess erosion in other areas where there are belvederes, the city says.
