Mall owner is seeking a land-use change that will allow for additional development, including residential units, on the nearly 20-acre property.
Westfield is seeking to remove the red tape restricting the development potential of its nearly 20-acre Mission Valley West shopping center just west of Mission Center Road.
The change would boost the value of the land by allowing for additional development, including residential units, on the site.Thursday, San Diego’s Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of recommending approval of the amendment. The action advances the matter to the City Council for final consideration.
The property currently falls within a 261-acre region subject to flooding by the San Diego River. The aforementioned specific plan, first approved in 1982, provided for flood protection in the area and created a financing mechanism, known as a maintenance assessment district, to pay for supporting infrastructure.
Both Westfield and the city are characterizing the proposed change as in keeping with the new Mission Valley Community Plan, which was adopted in 2019. The 30-year framework creates room for 50,000 additional residents and 7 million more square feet of commercial development, most of which in mixed-use villages where residents and workers are less reliant on cars to get around.
