The following summarizes Wednesday’s meeting:

CCDC BOARD GRANTS CONCEPT DESIGN APPROVAL FOR NAVY BROADWAY COMPLEX PARK (Columbia/Marina)

The Board approved the concept design for Navy Broadway Complex (NBC) Park, which will be located on the western half of the block bounded by Broadway, Harbor Drive, Pacific Highway and the extension of E Street. The 1.9 acre park site adjoins the proposed Manchester Pacific Gateway, LLC development as part of the overall Navy Broadway Complex development. In developing the concept design, CCDC and the design team incorporated feedback from both the community outreach process specific to the park and community workshops facilitated as part of the larger Navy Broadway Complex project, the subject of an agreement between the City of San Diego and the United States Navy. The NBC Park design was incorporated into the Superseding Master Plan for the Navy Broadway Complex and found to be consistent with the Development Agreement in July 2007. Minor modifications to the NBC Park design, as found in the Superseding Master Plan, are proposed to conform to the recently modified North Embarcadero Visionary Plan. In addition, the park will implement a number of the recommendations of the Downtown Community Plan and result in additional open space for downtown. (Vote 4-0 with Directors Brown and Shaw excused and Director LeSar not present for vote.) To read the complete staff report for item 6, click here.
