The Navy has determined it would like to work alongside private developers to replace its familiar-but-obsolete hangars along Interstate 5 with new facilities, thousands of homes, plenty of office space for large companies, two hotels and community shops in towers stretching as high as 350 feet with a transit center to boot.
The preliminary decision for the 70-acre site in the Midway District, commonly referred to as NAVWAR, was published Friday by the United States Department of the Navy in what’s known as a draft environmental impact statement.
The 730-page document, now available to the public for a 60-day comment period, considers the impacts of five scenarios of varying intensity on things such as traffic, views and air quality. The report, required by the National Environmental Policy Act, identifies the highest-density plan, which would introduce 10,000 homes and 70,000 more car trips per day to the area at buildout, as the Navy’s first but not final choice

Chief Grieser contacted San Diego Police Department to have an officer assist her in contacting the male and within several minutes, two SDPD officers, paired with two PERT clinicians arrived at the location.

Local leaders are now driving a conceptual airport transit hub, often referred to as “San Diego Grand Central Station,” down an expensive road of technical reviews that could eventually end with taxpayers being asked to spend a billion dollars or more on its development.
Wednesday, the San Diego Association of Governments published a notice of preparation, or NOP, for environmental review of a central mobility hub either at the Navy’s Old Town Campus or a site between Interstate 5 and Pacific Highway near the northeastern edge of the airport. It would become the region’s primary transportation center, connecting all rail and bus lines with a people mover to the airport.
