SAN DIEGO - Mayor Todd Gloria issued the following statement on the state Court of Appeal's ruling on the voter-approved increase to the height limit in the Midway District of San Diego:
"The City Attorney and I disagree strongly with this ruling and will be asking the City Council to appeal it to the California Supreme Court. In addition to the appeal, City staff have identified multiple paths to keep the redevelopment of the City's sports arena property moving forward. I will not allow San Diego to miss out on an opportunity that holds massive benefits for San Diegans, including thousands of permanent new jobs, affordable homes, a new entertainment center and billions in economic activity. Failure is simply not an option, and we will get this done."
To allow additional time for City Council review of the Sports Arena redevelopment project, which had been set to be completed this fall, Mayor Gloria has extended the exclusive negotiating agreement (ENA) with Midway Rising for one year (until Dec. 4, 2026).
