Accessory dwelling units coming to a Clairemont neighborhood
A neighborhood in Clairemont that is made up primarily of duplexes is planning on building eight accessory dwelling units on the property.
NBC 7 assignment editor Lindsay Hood looked into and found that there were permits to build eight accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in the cul-de-sac. Three of them will be affordable housing units. Under the ADU Bonus Program, affordable ADUs are required. The duplex that was there before is still there as construction goes up around it.
A local investment firm purchased the lot where the units are being built. NBC 7 reached out but did not receive a call back.
NBC 7 also reached out to the city of San Diego’s Development Services Department (DSD) about this property and was told that neighbors can be assured that the project will comply with all applicable codes and regulations.
On Friday, you could see and hear the ongoing construction. Clairemont resident Kellie Johnson says it’s the biggest she’s seen in the neighborhood in the past decade, but she understands that sometimes change happens.
”It’s needed,” Johnson said. “And everybody I think is ‘not in my backyard,’ but it has to go in somebody’s backyard. I think if every community is taking on buildings like this then it should help.”
Maybe you’ve seen more of them popping up around town. The interest in adding ADUs to properties has been building.
According to the city of San Diego, nearly 1,000 permits have already been awarded this year, which is nearly the same amount as the number of applications. A spokesperson for the DSD told NBC 7 in an email that homeowners’ interest in ADUs is overwhelming and is the most requested service with the department’s virtual appointments and call center.
Lori Pfeiler, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association in San Diego, says while more units in the thousands need to be built to help alleviate that challenge, ADUs could help too.
”ADUs are probably not the solution. It’s going to help on the edges. It’s going to provide different types of opportunity at different typologies,” Pfeiler said.
Additional housing may come with more headaches for drivers trying to find a parking spot on an already crowded street.
”The fact that there’s already a major parking issue around here. We have a huge complex at the end on Cole Street, and a lot of people from that complex park here,” Johnson said, adding that the apartment complex does have parking units for tenants.
When it comes to facing the housing crisis, the city says every unit counts.
While eight ADUs go up in Clairemont, the DSD happened to be holding a meeting for community members on zoning and permitting on Friday in partnership with the Asian Business Association. It’s part of an outreach to educate the community on zoning and permitting as it relates to their properties. More details on the DSD and future events can be found here.
The Killer Tomatoes are loose in San Diego, and they’re ready to get sauced.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is taking over Good Night John Boy (401 G Street) in the Gaslamp on Saturday, July 25 from 7pm-11pm for the official Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence after party, celebrating the wild new chapter in the cult classic franchise that first got its start in San Diego back in 1978.
Fans can party alongside cast and crew with meet and greets, “killer” cosplay, exclusive giveaways, DJs, and dancing. There will also be specialty themed cocktails and bites available for purchase, because fighting off killer produce apparently works up an appetite.
Tickets will be available here, though they’re not yet available. We’ll update once we know more.

Jannik Sinner is starting to make a habit of responding to adversity in Paris with Wimbledon titles.
The top-ranked Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 Sunday for his second consecutive title at the All England Club after his German opponent appeared bothered by a knee issue following a slip to the grass on a key point in the third set.
Sinner’s fifth Grand Slam title came in his first tournament since a second-round meltdown at the French Open, when he wilted in a Paris heat wave.
A year ago, Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the All England Club after wasting three match points against his rival in the Roland Garros final.
It was Sinner’s 10th straight victory over Zverev, who was coming off his first Grand Slam title at the French Open.
Linda Noskova beat Karolina Muchova in an all-Czech women’s final on Saturday for her first Grand Slam title.
Prince William joined his wife Kate and two of their children for the final in a star-studded Royal Box that also included actors Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman and Ben Stiller.
Zverev slips
The top two seeds appeared perfectly matched until Zverev earned his first break point of the match at 3-3 in the third set — 2 hours and 42 minutes in. Sinner produced a drop shot and Zverev slipped and appeared to hyper-extend his right knee as he attempted to change directions behind the baseline.
Zverev grasped his knee in apparent discomfort and Sinner went around the net and helped his opponent up off the grass. Zverev quickly resumed playing but he appeared slightly hampered and slung his racket across the baseline in frustration when he missed a forehand and handed Sinner the first break of the match and a 5-3 lead in the third. Sinner then served it out.
Zverev had also lost 14 straight sets to Sinner and when he claimed the opening set of the final with a forehand winner up the line to conclude a tight tiebreaker, he let out a loud roar toward his box as he bent over in celebration.
Zverev continually cranked out serves at up to 139 mph (224 kph), while Sinner produced a series of well-placed aces at a slightly lower speed.
But Sinner began to read Zverev’s serve better in the second-set tiebreaker and Zverev started to miss forehands.
Paris meltdown
Amid stifling heat and humidity in Paris in late May, Sinner had his 30-match winning streak ended after coming within one game of a straight-set victory over Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who was ranked No. 56.
Conditions were cooler in southwest London for the final, with clear skies and a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius) but it was also breezy — which led to a series of shanked shots from both players.
Sinner went in for medical exams in Milan after the Paris defeat and didn’t play an official match again until he arrived at Wimbledon, where he twice had to come back from a set down in a five-set marathon against Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.
Sinner then didn’t drop a set the rest of the way until the final, having dominated against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.
Despite the defeat in the final, Zverev will leapfrog Alcaraz into the No. 2 spot in the rankings on Monday.
Alcaraz missed both the French Open and Wimbledon this year due to a right wrist injury.

Wimbledon is keeping the World Cup off its official screens, even in the players’ lounge. Fans and players can still watch on their phones, but tournament TVs will stay focused on tennis.
