Bolden Jr., NASA’s top administrator and a former astronaut. Bolden was sent to speak to the local students after High Tech High (HTH) fell just short in a national competition to attract President Barack Obama as the commencement speaker. The competition, called the “Race to the Top High School Commencement Challenge,” was claimed by a school in Tennessee. Despite the disappointment that left HTH in third place against more than 450 other schools nationally, students like Sydney Delville, left, and Serena Robinson still seemed to have stars in their eyes as they looked toward their bright futures.

The Cox property will be nearly iden- tical to the adjacent Stennis residence at 5166 West Point Loma Blvd., which was approved in 2008 and designed by the same developer. A third application on the block with the same developer is in the works, Gawronski said. “How long do you think it’s going to take for the rest of those buildings to become look-alikes? Then we’ll have a 30-foot wall there,” said Gawronski, referring to the status of West Point Loma Boulevard as the first street next to the beach. The existing RM 2-4 zone terminolo- gy stands for residential multi-family housing, with one unit per 1,750 square feet. The prevailing duplexes were built nearly six decades ago before the zone was adopted. In Ocean Beach, the RM 2-4 zone restricts total gross floor area to seven- tenths of the lot size, 25 percent of which must be set aside for enclosed parking unless underground parking is provided. For a 2,500-square-foot lot, this means a maximum of 1,312.5 square feet for living space and a 437.5- square-foot garage. The variance allowed a combined 1,748 square feet among the three floors for housing and a 335-square-foot open carport. “(The city) is rezoning these lots. Into what category? No category I know of,” Gawronski said. The letters to the city should include references to Chapter 12 of the munici- pal code, Gawronski said, which outlines the procedure for rezoning, including the requirement for approval by the City Council. Gawronski said he took particular exception to a city staff report to the San Diego Planning Commission defending the variation because of the small lot size and lack of alley access of the Cox parcel. The report noted that other areas with RM 2-4 zoning in San Diego typically have 6,000-square-foot lots and allow a greater proportion of the lot size to be used in determining allowable square footage. Therefore, the variance could be “considered necessary to provide reasonable development,” according to language in the report. “That’s crap. It’s perfectly possible (without the variance),” Gawronski said. “We have a full complement of lots that are less than 6,000 square feet, and there are a whole lot of people here living in less than 1,750 square feet.” Board Vice President Landry Watson said the variances on West Point Loma Boulevard could spread to properties on other streets that don’t have alleys. “It’s an interesting precedent they’ve set,” Watson said. The board first opposed the Cox project in October but the variance was approved in January by the city’s hear- ing officer, then upheld the next month by the city’s Planning Commission. Because of the house’s proximity to the ocean, the board had the right to appeal the coastal development permit to the California Coastal Commission, which rejected the appeal in an 8-3 vote in May. The only recourse left for local planners is to file a lawsuit known as a writ of mandate, but that could cost in excess of $10,000, said board member Ronson Shamoun.

Three days later, she was back in the hospital because she wasn’t able to handle the com- plicated wound care regimen. There is a movement to improve care after discharge and to reduce read- missions for the elderly but if your family member has not revamped their discharge process, you may need to take an active role in managing the discharge. TAKE CHARGE: If you believe the hospital is sending a patient home too soon, talk with the doctor. CHECK THE DRUG LIST: Medication errors are a frequent cause of read- missions. Make sure your family member knows when and how to take new pills. MAKE A DISCHARGE PLAN: Most hospitals provide a discharge plan in writing, but it may not be complete and it may be difficult to understand. Make your own plan that will be a guide for the patient, the caregiver and other doctors. CONTACT THE PRIMARY DOCTOR: Request the discharge planner or hospital MD contact the patient’s primary care physician to be followed up or you should do it yourself. The RN Case Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants are available 24/7 to help with all these details and they are expert in handling any problems that may arise.
