Quail Meadows Apartments: Appeal to the Coastal Commission
Welcome to Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development
We seek to strike a balance between neighborhood preservation, environment, and meeting goals for affordable housing. All are important; so is transparency and constructive dialogue among residents, developers and city officials.
We are a group of local resident-activists and rely on the geneorsity of our supporters to engage with scientific and legal advisors to ensure a defensible, truthful, fact-based approach.
Coastal Commission Hearing May 13
Filed in March 2025, the Encinitas Citizens for Responsible Development appeal to the Coastal Commission raises continued concerns that the proposed, 448-unit project on Quail Gardens Drive threatens coastal resources by impacting a tributary to Cottonwood Creek and allowing inadqueate drainage infrastructure to serve the project.
The Coastal Commission staff report concludes that "no substantial issue" could be found. We disagree. During the May 13 hearing, we will continue to justify findings that substantial issues exist within the Commission's jurisdictional boundary.
