A proposal to designate a portion of the La Jolla coastline as a historic district received a clean sweep of endorsements, when the La Jolla Community Planning Association voted to sign onto a letter to support the designation during its July 6 meeting at The Bishop’s School.

The La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee approved all three home projects that went before it at its May 18 meeting.

A proposal for a home remodel and expansion that would result in a development more than twice the size of the current house got the approval of the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee on its first hearing April 20.

The signs are intended to encourage people who visit La Jolla’s beach areas to explore shops, galleries and restaurants in The Village.

Meanwhile, Shores permit reviewers give support to a separate project for a demolition and new house.

After years of planning and discussions, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association approved a design and vendor Feb. 8 for directional signs to be created as part of its "wayfinding" program.

With few questions and lot of praise, the San Diego Planning Commission unanimously gave its approval Feb. 2 to a project to develop part of Coast Boulevard South in La Jolla by remodeling and/or moving some houses — including historic cottages — and building new townhomes.

With a deadline approaching this summer to use funds allocated for a directional sign program, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association is looking to make quick and steady progress in coming months.

Two projects to extensively develop two sections of The Village got support from the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee during its Oct. 18 meeting.

Three cottages would be remodeled and six new three-story townhouses would be built. Lingering questions mean the project will return at a future meeting.
