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.

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.
