Yes, I agree. The proposed three-story Whitney Building, in the heart of La Jolla Shores, must be stopped. This project will destroy the ambience of the La Jolla Shores community. More importantly, it will set a precedent for future high rise development. Take note: developers are lining up behind Bob Whitney now. They want to make La Jolla Shores their next grand three-story redevelopment zone!
We, the undersigned citizens of La Jolla Shores and La Jolla, oppose the current proposed design of the three-story Whitney Building in the La Jolla Shores. This design fails to reflect the community and architectural character of the Shores, due to its significant bulk and scale, which substantially departs from that of the predominantly quaint one and two-story structures in the area. Such a building, on the most important mixed-use plot in the La Jolla Shores Commercial zone, would significantly undermine the architectural unity of the area, and set a precedent for future large-scale development, leading to the loss of our unique and casual seaside environment, community character and quality of life.
