Yes, Kilroy has reduced the size of One Paseo, but it's still out-of-scale with the surrounding community, and the change barely puts a dent in the traffic created by the project (now it's "only" 23,000 additional cars!) Sure, they've added a Trader Joe's (hey, we want a Trader Joe's, too!), but that's not the point. Trader Joe's would still work in a much smaller project, something that would fit in Carmel Valley.
If you're concerned, the project will be presented to the Carmel Valley Planning Board on Thursday, Jan 24 at 7:00 PM at the Canyon Crest Academy, Auditorium, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130. Additionally, I've heard that Kilroy is presenting a One Paseo Open House on Thursday, January 10 from 4:00-7:00 PM at the Kilroy Centre Del Mar Campus, 3579 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130. If you have a minute, show up and tell them that the project is still too big.

Kilroy open house

I dropped by, and boy, Kilroy made One Paseo sound like it is the most wonderful project ever conceived and insisted they have listened to our community by reducing the project size. I heard how much better traffic flow will be with two additional stoplights on Del Mar Heights. Who do they think they are kidding?
This project needs to continue to come down in size until it is in keeping with the rest of our community.
Great Meeting

KILROY, when pushed is going to present a COMPLIANT plan, they say. They also said, the economics would make it so there would be no underground parking - that is, more parking lots. That is BULL. If there is such demand for this space, an incremental cost to cover parking would make up enough to build parking for the residents/tenants. The whole density and the tactics they have used and are still trying to use is outrageous. And the energy of the community expressing itself, was great.
DO NOT be fooled by them coming back with a compliant but horrible plan and CRYING about how we have constrained them and the economics won't work. As a community, I am sure we can BUY THEM OUT and find another developer.
