The San Diego Planning Commission is recommending approval of a new church project in Del Cerro after listening to more than two hours of comments from supporters and opponents.
All People's Church is requesting to build the project on a strip of open land it purchased just north of I-8 at College Avenue.
“We believe this is a win for the city and we are excited about being great partners to make San Diego an even more wonderful place to live," Herber said. However, a group of residents who formed the group"Save Del Cerro" are trying to rally around defeating the project. “Once this goes into play and this is here, everything that makes what is our area a wonderful part of San Diego starts to deteriorate," Del Cerro resident Daniel Degheri told ABC 10News.
Opponents say the addition of so many people, most of whom would be commuting from outside the neighborhood, would create a traffic nightmare on College Avenue, which can already be crowded. They also raise concerns that the church plans to grow and expand services which would mean a steady flow of people throughout the week, rather than only during weekends.
