A plan to remake a shuttered golf course in Carmel Mountain is gearing up to go back before city planners after two years of opposition.
Santa Monica developer New Urban West says it will bring the 1,200-home Trails at Carmel Mountain Ranch to the San Diego Planning Commission in July. The project has been significantly scaled back since it was originally envisioned as a 1,600 home project, but neighbors still say it is too dense.
Despite a regional and statewide push for housing in California, many local developers have elected to scale back the size of projects to get community support. But, it hasn’t made much of a difference to neighbors who say The Trails is too big for the area.
