SDSU Foundation Off-Site Parking
Description
The Foundation plans a 32-stall parking lot and a five-stall screened storage garage on two residential lots, accessed only by the alley, to keep up with its growth.
Impact summary
Parking will be reserved for Foundation use and screened from neighbors, but some commissioners worry the university keeps eating into the historic neighborhood.
