Response From Civic San Diego President Reese Jarrett Regarding Legislative Counsel of California Opinion on AB 504

“For 40 years we have followed a public process that has ensured strong community involvement and council oversight, and has successfully resulted in the revitalization of downtown. We agree with the state legislative counsel’s broad analysis about contracting out land use authority. As affirmed by the San Diego City Attorney’s analysis, that’s not the case in San Diego. The responsibilities delegated to Civic San Diego are legally permissible. Civic San Diego has attracted billions of dollars in investments, created thousands of jobs and more than 5,000 affordable homes for San Diego. We remain committed to ensuring we continue our mission of creating positive economic activity in our neighborhoods.”
