La Costa Town Square Update – August 2009

Categories: Carlsbad, Communities, La Costa, La Costa Oaks, La Costa Town Square

La Costa Town Square UpdateLa Costa, CA – For those who live in La Costa, particularly neighboring La Costa Oaks, feelings and opinions are running high about the potential approval of the construction of La Costa Town SquareLa Costa Town Square is a development of Aspen Properties that is expected to be built on an 83 acre parcel at the corner of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road.

The opinions are wide and varying!  Some La Costa Oaks residents are excited about having the potential La Costa Town Square within walking distance.  They are hoping for nice restaurants and boutique shopping.

Some La Costa Oaks (and other Carlsbad residents) are concerned about what may be coming to our neighborhood.  Many residents oppose a big box tenant, and came to the most recent Carlsbad City Planning meeting with photos of other big box locations that are already unoccupied (Circuit City, Linens and Things, Albertsons on El Camino Real Encinitas, Vons at the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue).  Everyone wants to see La Costa Town Square represent our neighborhood – a development of beautiful homes, with a small town neighborhood feel!

At the Carlsbad City Planning meeting on August 11th, the city decided that they wanted another week to think about their recommendations before giving any approval or disapproval of La Costa Town Square.  One thing that they mentioned is that if they approve the project, they may require the land across Rancho Santa Fe to be single family residences, rather than multi-family.  They are no longer hearing testimony, but they are requesting from Aspen that the La Costa Town Square development be at least as nice as the Forum Shops.

Although we don’t yet know how this will play out, we are all eager to find out!  This will change the landscape of our community – either for the better or the worse!
