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.

The Trails at Carmel Mountain West project seeks to redevelop the old Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club golf course, shuttered since July 2018.
Jesus is boss
Jesus Cardenas came under fire in 2019 by then-county supervisor candidate and state senator
Ben Hueso for “gaming” the San Diego Democratic Party central committee, resulting in the endorsement of Hueso’s foe,
Nora Vargas. She ultimately won the election. Now Cardenas, the new chief of staff for San Diego city councilman
Stephen Whitburn, has filed his legally required statement of economic interests for last year, revealing that his Chula Vista-based political consulting outfit Grassroots Resources is valued between $100,000 and $1 million and grossed between $10,000 and $100,000.
