City Council Meeting Agenda

Item S400 - Informational Update on Civic Center Revitalization Project - This item is an informational item to discuss the process for the Civic Center Revitalization Project.  In 1960-1965, construction commenced and completed on what is known as the City of San Diego’s Civic Administrative Center, including the City Administration Building, Concourse, Evan V. Jones Parkade, Plaza and Civic Theater.  These properties have long since become obsolete in today’s future focused, civic workforce whereby operations, workspace and access to technology are antiquated and exceeded their useful life.  With the recent purchase and settlement agreement for 101 Ash St. and Civic Center Plaza, the city now owns and controls a significant, cohesive footprint of approximately 800,000 gross square feet of office space to imagine a future, transformative development that includes housing, city services, businesses, and plenty of opportunity.

Item 200 – La Jolla Commons III Rezone – Project No. 698279 – This action rezones the project area from CV-1-2 (Commercial Visitor) to CO-3-1 (Commercial Office) and proposes a Planned Development Permit, amending Planned Commercial Development permit No. 99- 0762, to restrict the total amount of Research and Development uses on the site to be no more than 735,000 square feet on a 17-acre site located at 4707, 4727, 4747, 4750, and 4757 Executive Drive within the University Community Plan area. The Project involves no change to the existing physical conditions of the site, would allow no new construction, and would allow no expansion of the existing development square footage

Item 201 - Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding the Design, Environmental Review, Permitting, and Potential Construction of the Fenton Parkway Bridge – City staff and California State University, acting on behalf of San Diego State University, have negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the Fenton Parkway Bridge pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the San Diego State University Mission Valley Campus Master  located in the Mission Valley Community Planning area of the City. This MOU would establish a protocol for preparing the necessary California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental documents and carrying out the design and potential construction of the Fenton Parkway Bridge Project. The Project consists of an all-weather bridge extending Fenton Parkway south over the San Diego River to Camino Del Rio North at grade with the trolley crossing, with left turn lanes from southbound Fenton Parkway to Camino del Rio North and Eastbound Camino Del Rio North to Fenton Parkway, and traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Camino Del Rio North and Fenton Parkway.
