Something this massive belongs closer to the center of the campus or possibly at the Qualcomm site if it is acquired. It should not be located adjacent to single family residences. The land along this portion of Remington Rd should be utilized as a low intensity buffer between the campus and the single family neighborhood.

Not a good plan for the community, AT ALL !!!

This project is ill- conceived considering so many other possible options for building these dorms. It will totally change our neighborhood for the worse.

Cramming 2700 beds next to our single-family neighborhood and claiming it will have no impact on traffic or parking is bananas. SDSU needs a long-term solution to its space constraints as it pursues ever-increasing enrollments. While our community wants more dorms (and not mini-dorms), this proposal is flawed on so many levels.

This will not only destroy my view but endangers the wildlife in the canyon! Build somewhere else!

This megadorm should never be considered since the canyon is such a high risk area for a fire disaster.

Interesting that a plan, unmentioned in any SDSU Master Plan, is depicted in a landlab rendering in 2010 but only shared with the community in mid-December, 2016. On-campus housing is important, but there are other sites (identified by SDSU) that could accommodate their needs without the dramatic environmental impacts of the proposed project.

The DEIR shows potentially significant environmental impacts to the canyons. SDSU needs to find more sustainable alternatives on the campus where available space is underutilized for new student housing.

It is shameful to start the long slide into our last vestige of wild areas in San Diego. It is my understanding that back in the 70's the canyon ecosystems were protected by the City of San Diego. Once start the process of ruining our canyons, other developers will try and follow.

There are plenty of other locations that exist they can do this in.

Find other existing buildings nearby, rehab them and add plenty of shuttles to bring students back and forth. The canyons should never be touched. Don't turn San Diego into L.A.

This is unnecessary growth. There are plenty of other solutions that will satisfy SDSU needs and not destroy community open space.

I do not agree with SDSU housing because SDSU will destroy the nature and clean air and cause more traffics

I received my M.A. from SDSU in 1993. As an Aztec, I am opposed to constructing twin 14 story dorms in the pristine Aztec Canyon.

We encourage SDSU to create housing opportunities for students who want to live in a "campus community." However, the canyons are not the place for these buildings to be built. There are several current housing locations that are under-utilized - the Maya & Olmeca halls are on the east side of campus. They are the old school brick buildings that are three-stories high and house only 220 residents. Tear these down and create tall modern dorm rooms here!

It's not the job of the University to provide housing. Stop turning education into a business. This is just a continuation of the SDSU monopoly. Spend all the tax dollars on things other than education, them tell tax payers you need more tax dollars to keep the school doors open.

SDSU is big enough already especially with all the huge new buildings they have recently constructed. SDSU needs to slow down a bit and catch their breath. Leave the native vegetation alone for Pete's sake as there's such a little bit of it left.
