The Port of San Diego is
seeking ideas for the possible future development and preservation of 95 acres of
undeveloped land on the shore of south San Diego Bay.
A meeting where interested
parties can learn how to submit their project ideas for the land, which is known
as Pond 20, is scheduled for 4:30 pm to 6 pm Mon., June 25, 2012 in the Dempsey
Holder Safety Center, 950 Ocean Lane, Imperial Beach.
Information will also be
available during the meeting on previous studies related to the area and comments
the Port District already has received.
Pond 20 was purchased by
the Port of San Diego about 14 years ago as part of an 836-acre land acquisition,
but it wasn’t until earlier this year that the Board of Port Commissioners and the
cities of San Diego and Imperial Beach approved an agreement to explore possible
uses for the area.
The land is located in the
City of San Diego but is included as part of the City of Imperial Beach Redevelopment
Area. The Port District will consider all project concepts in conjunction with the
cities of San Diego and Imperial Beach.
Conceptual plans may also
be submitted directly to the Port District by 2 pm, Fri., Aug. 24, 2012. Letters
may be submitted to: Pond 20 Letters of Interest, San Diego Unified Port District
Government Relations, P.O.
Box 120488, San Diego, Calif. 92112-0488, Attn: Michelle White.
