Description
Homeowners in Rancho Peñasquitos are reeling over a two-story accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, going up in their neighborhood. They told CBS 8 it’s blocking their views of the San Diego skyline.
“It’s huge, it just does not fit the character of the neighborhood,” said Casey Wahlstrom, one of the neighbors frustrated by the ADU towering over her backyard.
“It’s going to be even higher than what you see, they don’t even have the roof on yet,” said Wahlstrom.
She and her husband bought their home in Rancho Peñasquitos 17 years ago and they just recently renovated their backyard. They told CBS 8 the two-story 1200 square-foot ADU, which is the maximum allowable size under city guidelines, is ruining the view for them and their neighbors.
“I mean, this is not a granny flat. They could’ve built a 600-square foot, half the size,” said Wahlstrom. “But to build something that is so large and obstructing, you know. Our neighbors here had a lovely view of Black Mountain, and that view will be completely gone.”
The ADU under construction on Calle de Rosas was approved and permitted by the City of San Diego. It fits within the 30-foot height limit and 4-foot setback requirements.
