North Embarcadero Visionary Plan Update July 2009

Wednesday, 15 July 2009

An appealable coastal development permit for the first phase of the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan was approved at the July 2009 Board of Port Commissioners meeting.  The first phase includes the area on Harbor Drive from the Navy Pier to the B Sreet Pier and a portion of West Broadway from the railroad tracks just past Pacific Highway, to the intersection of Harbor Drive.

The Board of Port Commissioners also approved an amendment to the JPA agreement which allows the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Diego, acting through Centre City Development Corporation to advance the Port about $8.5 million for the Port's share of the cost of the first phase. 

The Port was counting on revenue from the proposed Lane Field development, which includes two new hotels, to help pay for the Port's share of the first phase costs.
