The Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation has purchased 18 acres of land on the lagoon’s northeastern side for $2.4 million dollars, according to a story in the San Diego Union Tribune.
The former owner, the Mitsuuchi family, held the property for more than 20 years and once raised nursery plants there, but it hasn’t been used for agriculture for a long time. The property was zoned for medium-density housing and open space, but its steep slopes and habitat allowed for about half to be developable.
Nice work. Open space is good space.
