New Clairemont Community Planning Vision Statement Composed by the Clairemont Community Planning Group - Amended 15 January, 2013
The following is a summary of comments and suggestions developed by the members of the Visioning Task Force. The Task Force composed of several Committee members who met several times in open meetings to develop a strategy that the CCPC could consider for adoption as guidelines in the absence of a badly needed updated Clairemont Community Plan. The ideas are strictly suggestions to the CCPC and are not intended to be adopted without thorough discussion and Committee vote. Further any ideas should be reviewed by our City Planning Representatives before they are implemented. Preamble
Over the years, the most controversial subject we have faced has been the ability to control density and height. The Community has in the past and still wants to retain the residential character of our neighborhoods. The idea of having apartments mixed into our single family areas is unacceptable to the community. Encroachment by higher density multi-family residential development into single-family areas is not a desirable condition. We are going to continue to see development pressure and increased traffic. This increased traffic has resulted in the neighborhoods demanding added stop signs to keep arterial traffic off their residential streets. The more we can encourage folks to use public transportation the better the quality of life for our community. To be efficient, public transportation needs frequent, accessible routes supported by lots of riders close to each stop. With few exceptions, this is something we don’t have in Clairemont. Allowing denser development along transportation corridors will help solve our transportation issues and defend ourselves from the economic pressure that will come as San Diego’s population continues to grow. If there is an advan-
tage for Clairemont in the Mid Coast Trolley extension, it is to get some of the traffic from other communities, including University Town Center, off the freeways we share with them. We need to be pro-active and not reactive on the growth issue or without a plan we will be victims of mounting economic pressure for growth in areas where we don’t want it. Transportation/Mobility
Major transportation corridors including Clairemont Drive, Clairemont Mesa Blvd, Balboa Avenue and Mt. Acadia were not intended to receive the high volume of traffic they are experiencing. Clairemont Drive passes in front of housing duplexes and single-family residences. This creates a safety hazard for the children associated with those homes. Balboa doubles as an artillery highway and a high traffic-shopping street. Mt Acadia, a two-lane street is a major collector that passes several pedestrian sensitive activities including churches, schools, ball fields, retail and single-family residences. Several stop signs have been added to this street to act as a Band-Aid to the traffic problem. Alternate routes to collector streets have been used to avoid congestion. An example is Cowley Way, which parallels the, rush hour, congested Clairemont Drive. Several of these alternative routes have added speed bumps and stop signs. This was a desperate means to control the intrusion of increased traffic. The collectors were intended to be in canyons. Fortunately the canyons have been protected but this has impacted many of the major streets. Public transportation is crippled since the frequency and destinations do not efficiently serve the community. Jobs have moved away from the City’s concentrated old industrial/commercial core. The new centers of employment are scattered across the North City/County with very fragmented bus service.
Most existing transit routes run north and south, intending to serve the major employment/ education centers. Traffic along Balboa Ave. is both community and non-community based. The through traffic was intended to be diverted to Highway 52 for non-community vehicles. This has not happened. The associated strip commercial development further erodes the ability to promote neighborhood and community identity. See the Balboa Ave Action Plan for specifics of the needed changes. We recommend the CCPC consider an inner community shuttle loop using the major collector streets to provide access to neighborhood resources for community members including students and the elderly. This could also serve as a collector for the future Trolley stations at the foot of Balboa Ave. and Clairemont Drive as well as express bus service to downtown, UCSD, and UTC. Further this would allow the relocation of housing along those shuttle routes to accommodate the residents that are dependent on public transportation and promote future high frequency public transportation. See the housing portion of the report for details on recommended restrictions on multifamily housing. Pedestrian/Bicycle access and circulation
With increased vehicle traffic, bicycle safety, especially for children, becomes a major concern. The City’s bicycle plan of Clairemont is very limited as are the mapping services such as Google Earth. The Community Plan’s bicycle plan should be updated. Bicycle lanes should be established along major traffic routes where they can be provided safely. Finding safe routes is of major importance. Commercial shopping projects are to provide bicycle racks. Pedestrian access is tied to available public transportation and access to community services. SEE Clairemont Planning, page 4

Healthy Community Q&A by Jackie C Bensinger, L.Ac.
Dear Jackie: I have been diagnosed with TMJ. It is worse in the morning because I grind my teeth, I guess, all night. My dentist has me wearing a night guard which helps a little. Could acupuncture help? Christy Dear Christy: Acupuncture does help alleviate TMJ.An effective combination with the acupuncture is to see how you deal with stress which is a huge factor is the treatment of TMJ. Make a list of fun, healthy ways that help you lift the stress from your life. For example, exercise is a great stress reliever, as well as meditating, listening to calming music, or a hobby that brings you satisfaction.We all have stress to a degree in our lives.The key is your perspective on that stress.Analyze what is healthy and what is not and make changes in your life to de-stress. Dear Jackie: I’ve been a finish hardware contractor for about 20 years.All of a sudden, I’ve been having pain in my elbows and numbness and tingling in my fingers with some pain
in my left shoulder.What do you think? Jeff Dear Jeff: I have successfully treated many cases of the symptoms that you are experiencing. If after three treatments, I do not see at least 50% relief, you will need to see your medical doctor or a chiropractor. The numbness and tingling is frequently due to a pinched or inflamed nerve in the neck, arm or the hand. Often, a few adjustments to the cervical and/or thoracic vertebrae in the neck and upper back will relieve the condition in conjunction with acupuncture.Another modality that will help you is therapeutic massage. For some cases, I may recommend all three modalities to correct the condition. Generally, depending on the severity of the condition, I have released a patient with these symptoms in between 4-10 treatments.

Clairemont Planning Continued from page 1
With improved public transportation and the development of live/work environments, pedestrian access could be dramatically improved. With the potential for people to be able to work at home via the internet, the need for an automobile will decline. Neighborhood shopping centers such as the one on Mt Acadia could be reenergized for this purpose. This will allow residents to get access to essential services without the use of an automobile. Urban Design
There needs to be better community identity, a better “sense of place”. Participation in the City’s Fine Arts Master Plan should be encouraged. Walkable neighborhoods as defined in the current Community Plan should continue to be a priority. Public facilities
The community’s infrastructure needs significant repair and improvement. Aging fire stations and libraries are a case in point. Some of these improvements could be tied to future development. An example was the potential of trading an on-site library at Clairemont Village for the residential developable land at the current adjacent library site. Future growth must be tied to adequate utility infrastructure. Better coordination needs to be encouraged between the City and the City Schools Planning. Recreation/Open Space
Clairemont’s System, of Canyons including Rose, Marian Bear and Tecolote Canyons are important community assets that must continue to be protected. While the potential to relocate the utilities out of the canyon is probably a long way off due to the attended cost, we need to minimize the impact on the canyons due to continuing repairs. We should defer our comments regarding Tecolote Canyon to the Canyon’s Planning Committee. Nonetheless they should be encouraged to review and incorporate the award winning Canyon Lands proposal. Balancing access and public safety is a major canyon concern Conservation
Not addressed except as identified above. Noise
Not addressed. Historic Preservation
Clairemont needs to celebrate its past to encourage community identity. This includes the historic churches such as Pioneer, St Marks and others. Other examples include the old dairy and the revenuer’s station in Bay Park. Plaques, monuments and descriptions help to
build pride in the community. Housing
The City’s goal of community growth over the next twenty years appears to be easily accommodated by the current community accepted plans, specifically along Morena Boulevard and adjacent to Clairemont Village. The City of Villages outlined in the Specific Framework Plan is a worthy goal but without adequate infrastructure it is impractical in Clairemont for the foreseeable future. Specific areas of concern include the lack of effective public transportation, poor collector streets and adequate public utilities. Higher Density housing could be accommodated adjacent to major Freeways where access, public transportation and utilities are more available. If such sites were large enough, a Village concept could be accommodated. An example of a potential small viable village would be the shopping area along Morena Boulevard in Bay Park. There is a large area of duplex development adjacent to Clairemont Drive that could be redeveloped at a slightly higher density but affording more open space at a decreased floor area ratio. Senior housing, especially along transportation corridors, should be encouraged. Special regulations regarding reduced area per unit and parking will work only if the City can maintain the senior-only occupancy. Projects that propose the use of tandem parking should be very carefully evaluated and only utilized when it can be reasonably assured that parking issues in the neighborhood will not result. Higher density mixed-use conversion of existing shopping centers should be encouraged if provisions are made for adequate onsite parking, and shade and noise protection provided for adjacent housing. Such projects should include amenities that would benefit the residents and the community such as parks/open space and children’s play areas. By allowing increased height at these locations the single family character of the existing community could be maintained without external pressure for uncontrolled growth in the community. Companion Units (Granny Flats), if structured properly, could be a great asset to Clairemont. It would allow seniors to remain in their homes by subletting the primary or secondary residence. It would allow seniors or children to live with their families in a semi-independent environment. It could be a simple way to create affordable housing and help to relieve pressure on demand for increased density. That said. There needs to be restrictions as to the size of the units and onsite parking. The current City of San Diego requirements are too restrictive, requiring oversized lots to consider a companion unit. In general, Clairemont should maintain its single family, low density charac-

ter but allow growth along major corridors where seniors, the disabled and youth could access public facilities via improved public transportation. By allowing controlled growth along these corridors, we can resist external pressure for growth in undesirable areas while accommodating the needs of our citizens. Land Use
Both commercial office and industrial uses should be encouraged in Clairemont The more people who live and work in our community the lesser the impact on our infrastructure particularly the streets. That said there are considerable industrial areas at the north and north east portion of our community. Heavy industry is unlikely and should be discouraged as the citizenry wishes to protect its bedroom community environment. Light industry and in particularly research (R and D) related industry should be encouraged. Several corridors are suitable for office and or research. Of particular note is the Morena Boulevard
corridor adjacent to Interstate 5. Any office or research facility should be located near freeways to preclude out of community employees from having to traverse our already congested streets. Where possible, closed school property should be returned to public use such as parks and recreation centers. However, private development may be permitted where new public uses or amenities are provided or funded as a result of the private development. The Clairemont Community Planning Group should be more vigilant in coordinating planning with the San Diego Unified School District, particularly with the sale and future development of property identified by the District as surplus. New schools that are planned and renovations of existing schools should include adequate parking and loading zones for student pick up and drop off. With the establishment of the Midcoast Trolley, the area adjacent to the SeaWorld Drive stop is a particular opportunity for new mixed use development.

San Diego Joins FARE Walk for Food Allergy Walkers Nationwide Raise Funds to Fight Potentially LifeThreatening Disease People with food allergies, their family and friends, and local community members will participate in Food Allergy Research & Education’s WALK for FOOD ALLERGY on June 29th at NTC Liberty Park from 10am to 12pm. Registration will begin at 9:00 am; the Walk is 2 miles along the bay and park. The FARE Walk unites thousands of Americans seeking a safe and inclusive world for people with food allergies. This potentially life-threatening disease affects up to 15 million Americans, including 1 in 13 children – roughly two in every classroom. The FARE Walk is a family-friendly event that is taking place in more than 60 communities nationwide to fund food allergy education, advocacy, awareness, and research.The San Diego Walk will include entertainment from the San Diego band “Hulabaloo”. The event also includes kid activities along with vendor and informational booths.
“A food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room every three minutes. Sadly, kids with food allergies know that one bite of the wrong food could have dangerous consequences, including anaphylaxis, a potentially deadly reaction. But it does not have to be that way.We are making great progress in developing life-saving treatments and programs,” said John L. Lehr, chief executive officer of FARE.“Thanks to our generous sponsors and dedicated supporters, the day will come when we say FAREwell to food allergies.” Participants are encouraged to register on-line and fundraise to reach our $50,000 goal. Children will receive a tshirt for registering. Any adult who raises $100 or more receives a FARE Walk tshirt. Participants can sign up to walk individually or as part of a team. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, enabling businesses to show their support for families who are living with food allergies from day to day. For more information or to register or volunteer, visit www.foodallergywalk.org/sandiego, or contact Veronica Braun at (619) 600-1261

Bark for the Park The combined communities of Tierrasanta and Murphy Canyon include residents who own more than 2,500 licensed dogs.These residents wish to speak and have their voices heard regarding Camp Elliott #3 surplus school site. With the proper planning and design, incorporating a new southwestern park entrance, parking, passive interactive/interpretative displays, along with a family picnic and dog park area, it would become a perfect partner with the Tierrasanta and Murphy Canyon Community.This change would also be a complement to Mission Trails Regional Park.While the park is of great importance to the community, an additional 12 acres added on the outer edge of its boundaries, to an already 6100 acre park, (or another way of looking at it is two tenths of 1% of the existing acreage), you can reward a 40 year-old community in much more needed ways. One of those ways is to utilize 3.75 acres of the nearly 12 acre site to benefit the third highest concentration of dog owners within the City of San Diego. The additional 8 acres can be utilized for parking, picnic and trailhead orientation areas.These ideas, along with the site’s location, make it a win-win for a community that now has to travel over 10 miles to San Diego or Santee dog parks. As documented, site environmental issues are minor.The proposal request would impact isolated areas, avoiding
wetlands, and creates minimal grading. Park buffering would utilize existing vegetation on all sides, thus reducing community visual impacts.Those closest to the park are 8 to 10 feet below the proposed park level.A community park in this area would have less of an impact than a school as revealed to buyers when the neighborhood was being built out. There have been many suggested sites for a dog park within the area, to remove the need for 25% of the area residents to drive out of Tierrasanta, but none like this to take advantage of.This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a perfect time for elected officials, community activists, environmentalists, and the general public to put forth a concise community effort to persuade those in charge to make the correct decision.Tierrasanta has been designated by the City of San Diego as “park poor.” Here is your opportunity to make a change.

Convair/220 Amateur Radio Club Invites You to “Field Day” – A Public Demo of Emergency Communications June 22nd 8 AM through 11 AM June 23rd Kearny Mesa Recreation Center Park Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions find themselves in the dark.Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been Amateur Radio.These radio operators, often
called “hams” provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even for the International Space Station. San Diego’s “hams” will join thousands of other Amateur Radio operators showing their emergency capabilities. Stop by and “get on their air”.

Public Workshop on Rose Creek Bike Project Coming up on June 20 Clairemont residents and all interested parties are invited to attend a public workshop in June on the proposed Rose Creek Bike Project, a new bike path that will run along Interstate 5 connecting the UTC area in the north to the beach communities in the south. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), which is spearheading a major effort to expand bikeways throughout San Diego County, will host the public workshop on Thursday, June 20. Everyone is invited to attend the meeting, which will be held in the Mission Bay High School library, 2475 Grand Ave., from 6-8 p.m. The Rose Creek project is part of the planned Coastal Rail Trail – a 40-mile system of multi-use paths extending from the City of Oceanside to Santa Fe Depot in Downtown San Diego. The project will improve a very important connection between points to the north, such as Sorrento Valley, UTC, and UC San Diego, and points to the south, such as Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Mission Valley, and downtown. A portion of the proposed Rose Creek Bike Path would be separate from motor vehicle traffic (Class I), but other portions may be on the street (Class II).The project will connect existing sections of the Rose Canyon and Rose Creek bike paths in the City of San Diego, filling an approximately two-mile gap in the regional bicycle network.The goal is to provide a comfortable bike riding environment for people of all ages and abilities. For people riding from north to south, the Rose Creek Bike Path will begin at the north end of Santa Fe Street and connect to the existing bike path
at Damon Street and Mission Bay Drive, near the Mike Gotch Memorial Bridge over the Rose Inlet.The exact alignment has yet to be determined. The project is currently in the design phase. For more information, contact Project Manager Chris Carterette at chris.carterette@sandag.org or (619) 699-7319.

Journey through the Kingdom of Jordon by Kevin Casillo
Officially the Heshemite Kingdom of Jordan is located on the East Bank of the River Jordon and extending into the historic region of Palestine. Jordan borders Saudi Arabia to the south and east, Iraq and north-east with Syria to the North and Israel on the west sharing
eyes as they chew what little food they must have.We arrive on the back of a pick-up truck bouncing from left to right which is driven by our driver wearing his traditional “DishDash”. Medium length jet black hair, missing a few teeth painfully thin and like all of us in the west, completely connected by his blackberry. Our first stop was Wadi Rum.Wadi Rum has been inhabited by many human cultures since prehistoric times, with many

control of the Dead Sea with the latter. The desert kingdom emerged out of the post-World War I division of the Middle East by Britain and France. In 1946, Jordan became an independent sovereign state officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. After capturing the West Bank area of Cisjordon during the 1948 –1949 war with Israel. Modern Jordan is classified as a country of “medium human development” and has the third freest economy in West Asia and North Africa (32nd freest worldwide) Jordon is one of the driest places Camels at “Wadi Rum” we have visited since spending time in Egypt in 1992. But it also one of the most interesting. Neither Bob nor I speak Arabic so before leaving the states we arranged for a private guide and car to tour us through Jordon and beyond. We could not have worked our way through Jordon without our trusted guide. It’s a dry sunny day, gentle winds blow grains of sand across the desert floor, changing colors as it drifts and forms new peaks and valleys. Off in the distance camel silhouettes resting in the sand, long eyelashes closed tight to protect and sooth the
cultures–including the Nabateans who left their mark in the form of rock paintings which can still be seen today. One of the rock formations named “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom” (after T. E. Lawrence’s book penned in the aftermath of the war, though the ‘Seven Pillars’) is the first site you see. We are directed by the driver’s outstretched arm and half genuine smile and half “good luck” pointing to a mountain of
drifting sand to hike. I said, how far do we go, his reply,“All the way, as far as you can go, I will be here waiting for you”. Well enough said, have you ever tried to climb up drifting sand? I reached the point of no return, Bob went further I sat and enjoyed the view. There is more to this story, but space is limited, so it’s onto Jerash. Jerash is the capital and largest city and is located in the north of Jordon a strong earthquake in 749 AD destroyed large parts of Jerash, while subsequent earthquakes along with wars and tur-
moil contributed to additional destruction. Its destruction and ruins remained buried in the soil for hundreds of years until they were discovered in 1806. Jerash is one of the most unique places visited so far, known for the city of “one thousand columns” it does not disappoint. As you walk through the old Roman ruins you see the old market places, the huge Agora (meeting place) all with original stones and mosaics. Our guide introduced us to a form of engineering that was thought of thousands of years before we did, Jerash, prone to earthquakes, the Romans knew how to tame some of the destruction.They built these columns so that each of the one thousand columns swayed with the earth’s movement. As a test, we reluctantly placed our finger tips between the base stone and the ten 20 ton blocks that stood above, and just as was sug“The Treasury Building” at Petra gested, the column gently are presented with a glass of hot mint swayed over our fingers.As you walk the old streets you can imagine how life tea and hundreds of us are soon sitting in a circle surrounding the façade of the was for the people of this city, vibrant Treasury.

Madison High Auto Techs Compete Students Korey Ingram and Austin Hayward from Madison High School raced to find 10 problems in a Ford Focus SE during the 2013 Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills Competition and although the pair didn’t win the event, they did pick up valuable experience against other high school students from around southern California. The competition, sponsored by the Ford Motor Company and the Automobile Club of Southern California, is designed to find the most talented young auto technicians in the U.S. Ingram, one of only two girls in the competition, and Hayward were joined by their instructor, Omar Sevilla, at the competition, which was held May 3 at the Wally Parks NHRA Museum at the Fairplex in Pomona. The competition winners were
determined by scores on an online qualifying exam and the team’s performance in the statewide hands-on, under-the-hood competition to repair quickly and accurately a deliberately disabled Ford Focus SE. Madison High School is in its second year of using a state-of-the-art automotive technology facility, which was built using voter-approved funds from Prop. S and statewide Prop. 1D. The Auto Club co-sponsors the annual competition to draw attention to the need to attract qualified students to high-paying automotive professions. Trained automotive technicians are among the most sought-after and highly paid professionals in today’s job market, but many high schools, unlike those in San Diego Unified, are reducing or eliminating automotive programs due to lack of funds and/or trained teachers.At the same time, there are almost 250 million cars and trucks in operation in the U.S., according to R.L. Polk and Co.’s 2009 data.

PET PROFILE
Stitch
Greta
Sheba
Breed - Labrador Retriever Age - 9
Breed - Labrador Retriever Age - 8
Breed - Labrador Retriever/Australian Shepherd Age - 3
Stitch is very calm and would love to have a nice easy going home with a family who will take him for short nice walks. Funny that this big guy is a bit scared of little animals. He however is great with small dogs and is wonderful around kids. For his age Stitch is in good shape and pretty darn healthy. He says he has lots of good years left to spend with his new forever family.This guy loves the ball and playing fetch is his favorite past time. He loves the water and is a gem with his bath.We hope there is an amazing family out there who will give Stitch a soft bed, loving home, and lots of time for playing ball.
Greta is a really sweet girl who is good with other dogs and kids. She rides well in the car , and knows commands like sit and down, and is housetrained. She loves to follow her humans around. While we don’t have papers for her, this girl looks like a perfect purebred labbie to us! Pick her up fast as she won’t last long! You’ll be so very happy you did!
Sheba is a calm, sweet girl with pretty black fur and one blue eye and one brown eye. She loves people and loves to lie at your feet and follow you from room to room in the house. She is good with big dogs and loves to play, but settles down nicely and is well behaved in the house. Sheba seems to like chasing small dogs (under 20 lbs.) and cats a little too much, so we would suggest a home without a cat or a small dog. She loves her daily walks and is good on the leash. She is great in the car and is housebroken. She is very respectful of others’ space and is very good around food – she takes treats and food very gently from your hand. Sheba would love to be your loyal and loving companion!
This month the Pet Profile is a bit different. The featured dogs are not reader submitted pets but rather dogs that are up for adoption and looking for their forever homes. Stitch, Greta & Sheba are just 3 of the many dogs up for adoption through California Labradors, Retrievers & More Rescue. For more information please visit www.labsandmore.org or call (858) 273-5386. If you would like your pet featured in the Pet Profile section email a picture, name, breed, date of birth, likes and dislikes to info@clairemonttimes.com
