Del Mar Terrace · 2200 block of Via Aprilia and Carmel Valley Road
If you live near the restaurants at 2212 Carmel Valley Road, you already know the problem: the constant mechanical drone, the loudspeaker calling out orders, the jarring clatter of trash trucks before dawn, leaf blowers hours before they're allowed, litter up and down the street, and polluted runoff pushed into the storm drain. We've measured it, documented it, and retained an attorney to put the owner on notice and take legal action if necessary. This page shows what's happening, issue by issue, and how to add your name as an impacted neighbor.

We first went to the property owner and to the owners of Buonasera Pizza and Roberto's directly, and tried to resolve this the neighborly way. When that went nowhere, we documented the problem: photos, video, and calibrated sound testing showing clear violations of local ordinances. Only after all of that did we retain an attorney.
Vahan Gavranian owns the entire complex, and Buonasera Pizza, Roberto's, and Bird Rock Coffee are his tenants. What they have been doing, laid out below, is what pushed the neighborhood to act. Under California law, an owner who knows about a nuisance and has the power to stop it can be held responsible for letting it continue. That is why any action would name Gavranian: he has been put on notice again and again and asked to fix these problems, and they are still going on.
