Approval of Land Exchange Breathes New Life into the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan

The Board of Port Commissioners adopted a resolution on February 2, 2010, approving a land exchange between the Port and North C.V. Waterfront L.P., also known as Pacifica. The land exchange is the first step in the redevelopment of the Chula Vista bayfront, which will include a balance of jobs, environmental buffers, housing and recreation.

The land exchange will swap 97 acres owned by Pacifica Holdings, which are located near an environmentally sensitive area, with 35 acres closer to the harbor of Chula Vista. Doing so would keep development away from the National Wildlife Refuge and the Chula Vista Nature Center, and move it to the more active harbor area. Moving development to this area would also be more economically feasible.

   

Transmission Towers Coming Down On Chula Vista Bay Front

Thursday, 19 November 2009

thumb_Img_1San Diego Gas & Electric has begun removing 23 lattice steel transmission towers that supported the South Bay Power Plant, located on the waterfront of San Diego Bay in Chula Vista

The removal of the towers, which began on Friday, Nov. 20, 2009, signifies the beginning of the end for the South Bay Power Plant, which is operated by Houston-based Dynegy Inc.  Dynegy plans on taking two of the plant’s power units offline January 1, 2010. The plant is designated as a “must run” facility by the California Independent System Operator (Cal Iso), which manages the state's power supply. It is anticipated that the designation may be removed in 2010. 

Once the “must run” designation is removed, Dynegy will take the remaining two power units offline, which would allow the plant to be decommissioned.
