ABOUT THE OWNER/DEVELOPER

The developer is Nakhshab Development & Design. Soheil Nahkshab is a Mission Hills resident and has served as an elected trustee on the Mission Hills Town Council, as well as an elected director on Uptown Planners. During his time on Uptown Planners, he also served as its chairperson. His firm is experienced in engineering, architecture, construction, management, and sales. The firm’s completed projects offer a wide variety of residential opportunities. In downtown’s East Village Nakhshab Development & Design developed a similar project to what we understand will be happening at West Washington Street and Goldfinch Street in Mission Hills.

PARKING REGULATIONS ELIMINATED IN PUBLIC TRANSIT CORRIDORS

Current City of San Diego regulations allow the elimination of parking in new commercial and residential developments near public transit corridors. See City of San Diego Ordinance number 21275.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO THE PUBLIC

Under the new Complete Communities initiative (Complete Communities | City of San Diego Official Website), the City of San Diego did not require the developer to present to Uptown Planners or any community group, such as the Mission Hills BID.

What has been filed with the City regarding the southwest corner of West Washington at Goldfinch is public record and available online. Members of the public may wish to review this information through the City of San Diego Approval Search | Open DSD site.
