On Midday Edition we're bringing you a special program featuring our reporting and analysis of some of the key races voters will be weighing in on in San Diego County on Tuesday. President Joe Biden will be in San Diego Thursday to campaign for Congressman Mike Levin, (D-San Juan Capistrano). Levin is in a tight race with Republican Brian Maryott. Then, San Diego County voters will choose a new sheriff for the first time in 12 years. And, we'll dig in to Measure A which proposes taxing cannabis businesses in the unincorporated area, Measure B which proposes allowing the city of San Diego to study the feasibility of charging trash pickup fees for single-family homeowners by repealing the century-old People's Ordinance law, and Measure C which would remove the 30-foot coastal building height limit in the Midway District. Then we'll hear about the candidates and issues in the Chula Vista mayors race. Finally, we'll hear about the significant focus on local school board races.

The Regional Task Force on Homelessness released a new report Tuesday, which found that over the past year, San Diego saw more people enter homelessness than leave it. And, homeless shelters are facing an unprecedented challenge from an influx of asylum seekers who have nowhere else to go. Then, the California Department of Public Health's online page chronicling complaints against nursing homes is often called the agency's “transparency website,” but KPBS's review of sexual abuse complaint tallies found inaccuracies and omissions. Plus, voters may be experiencing a sense of deja vu when they read through Measure C on the San Diego city ballot; voting yes on the measure would allow the construction of new buildings taller than 30 feet in the Midway District. Also, California voters will soon be deciding on Proposition 30 - a plan to tax the wealthy to pay for electric vehicle incentives. And finally, voters will also decide whether to allocate roughly a billion dollars to protect and fund these kinds of art and music classes in public schools.

A new homeless shelter opened in San Diego this week. Located in the Midway District, the shelter has 150 beds, and it's the first in the region to offer mental health and addiction services on site. Gary Warth covers homelessness at the U-T.

A new homeless shelter in the Midway District is now accepting residents. In other news, a place that has served members of the LGBTQ-plus community recovering from addiction is closing its doors. Plus, a new rhino calf at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park represents another step in the effort to save a related rhino species that's nearly extinct.

If you are a sports fan in San Diego, you already know Chris Ello. Ello and KUSI's Mark Mathis discussed the state of San Diego as a so-called, "sports town." Ello detailed how San Diego's leadership has failed to create adequate sports facilities that would be able to showcase professional leagues of all kinds. Specifically how our current leadership wants to build a new arena in the Midway District, but doesn't want to make it big enough to host the Final Four, NBA, NHL or any other big franchises. Ello attended college at San Diego State University, where he was teammates with Mr. Padre, Tony Gwynn. He remembered what it was like to play on the same team as Gwynn, and how the style of baseball has changed from back then to now.

This week, Ryan welcomes Dike Anyiwo, Vice Chair of the Midway Pacific Highway Community Planning Group. The two discuss the history of the Midway District and Dike's perspective on the major changes coming to this often neglected but central community in San Diego. Dike also shares why he chooses to live in the Midway District and what he sees in the future that gets him excited. Recorded on location at Bay City Brewery in the Midway District.   Timestamps: [2:40] Dike introduces himself. He has lived in the Midway District for about 7 years. He and Ryan are broadcasting from the Bay City Brewery, and note how the area has so much potential for walkability and bikeability due to the proximity to so many attractions such as Old Town, the San Diego bay, and the beaches.  [6:04] In 2018, at the end of an 11 year process, the city of San Diego City Council voted to approve the updated Community Plan and change the Midway District from being warehouse and industrial to more community friendly, and opening up close to 10,000 residential new residential units in the area. After the 2018 Community Plan update, there was also a change to the height limit in the area, which will help revitalize the community with more options and help move the stagnancy that has kept it from a lack of forward momentum in the past.  [14:20] Dike explains the current state of the Sports Arena, and how the State Surplus Land Act works as some sort of carrot for municipalities to develop affordable housing. There were only two bidders for the Sports Arena, and COVID had a real negative impact on the development community showing interest in the site. [20:11] It is in the Community Plan to keep the Sports Arena, as most San Diegans love it and want to continue attending events there.  Dike says that when we talk about redevelopment and rebuilding, we are not looking to replace what is working, but we are looking to augment.  [25:05] The Navwar sites are two parcels that are separated by Pacific Island, one of them is just under 50 acres, and the other one is just over 20 acres. Dike explains why there has been some controversy in the plans and renderings around them and how it compares to the Midway Group's community plan.  [35:42] What does Dike think of those 5 proposals personally? There most certainly is a need for more housing, for climate change and affordable housing.  [37:13] Dike loves living in the Midway District for many reasons. He's central to everything including downtown and the beaches, has a nice place with AC, and loves seeing all the change and developments.    About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges. In founding C-3 almost 60 years ago, architect Lloyd Ruocco's vision was to bring together our region's most creative minds from the arts, sciences, academia, and government to share ideas, learn new perspectives, and build fellowship around the idea of creating livable communities.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Pechanga Arena  Dike Anyiwo  Bay City Brewery  Kobey's Swap Meet  Liberty Station Midway-Pacific Highway Planning Group  NAVWAR  SANDAG

Darren & Jack Get An Update On the Midway District Arena Project With Guest Midway Planning Group Vice-Chair Dike Anyiwo

Darren & Jack talk About The Recall Being A Week Away. Plus An Update On the Midway District.

Today on the Southern California Real Estate Report we give you the latest on the Sports Arena Center. The Pechanga Arena, or Sports Arena as many know it by, is in Midway District of Point Loma. At first, the project was in violation of the Surplus Land Act. That law requires cities to give affordable housing developers first right of refusal to build on public land that the government doesn't need. Brookfield Housing is the developer on the project. A different developer will be chosen for the low income housing portion of the project. 25% of the housing will now be low income.

Register today! Today’s newsletter ends with a recap of the June 3 meeting of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. The group will try again to get a federal grant for a planning study for the future of the Amtrak station on West Main Street. The agency applied last year when the grant program was known as a BUILD. Now it’s known as RAISE, for Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity. Jessica Hersh-Ballering is a transportation planner for the TJPDC. “We applied for BUILD the last time it was available,” Hersh-Ballering said. “We requested $711,000 to create a Charlottesville regional multimodal transportation station master plan to meet the capacity, accessibility, and safety demands of Charlottesville’s union station.”The application was not successful, but there’s still a need to expand the station in order to prepare for a future with more passenger service through the region. A second daily train between Roanoke and points north is expected in the near future. “The station doesn’t have the infrastructure of the amenities to adequately serve the existing ridership, let alone the increased ridership projected for 2045,” Hersh-Ballering said. It’s not just trains, though. The Virginia Breeze bus service between Danville and D.C. is expanding, and MegaBus also expects more service. Both currently stop at Arlington Boulevard at Barracks Road Shopping Center. Hersh-Ballering said the goal is to come up with a shared community vision for the station site, which is privately owned. The station is currently not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “The station [is] missing a lot of important things, such as lighting, canopies to protect people from the weather, appropriate and useful signage, among other things,” Hersh-Ballering said. “There was also a lot of pooling of water on the platforms.”The money being sought now is for planning, and other funds will have to be found to pay for the upgrades. Charlottesville’s Union Station in 2009. What have your experiences been here?Hersh-Ballering made her comments at the June 3 edition of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. The TJPDC agreed to a resolution to move forward with the grant application. Charlottesville’s representatives on the Commission were not present at the meeting. At that meeting, new officers were elected. Nelson County Supervisor Jesse Rutherford is the new chair. Greene County Supervisor Dale Herring is the new vice chair and Keith Smith of Fluvanna County is the treasurer. Nelson County will use the services of the TJPDC to apply for a pair of several transportation grants. Interim executive director Christine Jacobs explains. “One of them is for sidewalk infrastructure in downtown Lovingston and the other is for a potential application for the Gladstone Train Depot relocation of the old building,” Jacobs said. Work also continues to implement a regional tax on cigarettes.“At this time, we’ve had seven counties in our broader region endorsing resolutions and expressing interest in participating in the regional cigarette tax administration,” Jacobs said. After a closed session, the Commissioner opted to extend Jacobs service as interim executive director until the end of the calendar year. A search for a permanent executive director to replace Chip Boyles will begin on July 1. At a roundtable on happenings in each jurisdiction, Dylan Bishop of Nelson County had more information about the Gladstone project. “The Friends of Gladstone Depot is a non-profit agency that purchased this property from the railway, from CSX,” Bishop said. “They’re going to be moving that train station, converting it to a community center and transportation museum for the community there.” The Nelson County Board of Supervisors approved a rezoning for the project at its meeting last week. On Wednesday, the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors will have a public hearing on rezoning of land adjacent to the Bremo Power Station from agricultural to industrial to allow for a lined landfill to store coal ash. Here’s Supervisor Tony O’Brien.“They will retain their coal ash ponds tapped and sealed and covered in Fluvanna and they are proffering close to $50 million for that so that’s a big bonus for Fluvanna in terms of being able to ensure that the water quality in the Fork Union area remains stable and is not affected by any of their efforts,” O’Brien said.  The proffered funding includes $47.1 million for water supply improvements, $2 million for transportation improvements, and half a million for Green Infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of the landfill. (meeting info)Greene Supervisor Dale Herring provided an update on the ongoing efforts of the county to leave the Rapidan Service Authority in order to build a reservoir that the entity has opted not to build. “Madison and Orange County did vote to allow us to leave the authority so we should be out of the Rapidan Service Authority in the near future and what that means for us is that we can actually begin to build the reservoir that we’ve already spent between $11 million to $13 million on,” The TJPDC will next meet on August 5 and will be in-person. Before you go, if you’d like to help continued research into government in the community, please consider a donation through Patreon.

Allowing one cycle of female recruits to graduate from traditionally all-male San Diego is only the first step to fulfilling a Congressional mandate. Meanwhile, the Navy envisions a row of high rise, mixed-use buildings with a new transit hub on its 70-acre campus in San Diego’s Midway District. Plus, the CDC says fully vaccinated people can ditch the mask and resume all indoor and outdoor activities.

The freeway-adjacent, mostly industrial town is what supporters of a November initiative, Measure E, view as a classic fixer-upper, meaning with ample investment it could be transformed into a community where people want to live and recreate. Yet the area's proximity to the water is a quality that makes it attractive to would-be investors while simultaneously inhibiting their interest. That's because the Midway District, either accidentally or intentionally depending on who you ask, finds itself in San Diego's coastal zone, subject to a 30-foot building height limit.
