Welcome to the San Diego –Tijuana Mega Region!

The San Diego –Tijuana Mega Region is home to the busiest land border in the world and has helped fuel the rise of San Diego and Chula Vista as the most business-friendly, economically advanced cities in the U.S. Thanks in large part to a social, economic and legal symbiosis between Tijuana and San Diego, the Mega Region’s GDP is estimated at more than $230 billion, roughly equal to that of Ireland. San Diego County provides capital, scientific and technical knowledge, and management expertise, while Tijuana provides a highly skilled manufacturing workforce, ample space and low business and real estate costs.

With a combined population of more than 6.5 million, the San Diego –Tijuana Mega Region boasts the largest concentration of population along the U.S.-Mexico border. The San Diego – Tijuana Mega Region provides access to the lucrative California and North American markets, and is the country’s gateway to the global markets in the Pacific Rim and the emerging Latin American markets.

Our robust internal infrastructure connections include 6 border crossings, 5 interstate freeways, 2 international airports, 2 specialized maritime port facilities and rail links, making the region a globally unique bi-national location for business investments.

Tijuana and San Diego’s geographically blessed location is more than just a doorway to trade and commerce: it’s a doorway to world-renowned beaches and bays and a quality of life found in few other places.

The San Diego –Tijuana Mega Region is a unique $230 billion bi-national region in Southern California and northern Mexico primed to become a global business leader. The region, comprised of San Diego and Imperial counties and Baja California, provides direct access to lucrative markets including California and North America, the Pacific Rim, and the emerging markets of Latin America.

To some, San Diego is a beach and border town. But America’s Finest City has long been considered a hub for the clean tech, life sciences, and communication industries. In recent years, the city has emerged as a high-tech powerhouse and entrepreneurial haven.

To the east is Imperial Valley. The year-round supply of sunshine and the low cost of land has helped turn this rural county into a leading producer of geothermal energy and an epicenter for wind, solar, and biofuel development.

South of the border, Baja California boasts an extensive manufacturing base with more than 900 manufacturing companies and over 600,000 skilled workers.

While San Diego enjoys the 17th largest economy among metro areas in the United States, Baja California is undergoing a renaissance that has led to a boom of cultural and economic growth. Together, the areas that form the Mega Region will create a globally-connected ecosystem of innovative businesses, multicultural talent, and startto-finish product development to forge an economic success story as unique as its offerings.

Chula Vista Bayfront Development Site

Chula Vista Bayfront

A FULLY ENTITLED MASTER PLAN READY FOR DEVELOPMENT

Chula Vista Bayside Park

The Chula Vista Bayfront is located at the south end of San Diego Bay. Approximately 535 acres of industrial Bayfront landscape are being transformed into a thriving destination, complete with resort hotels, a convention center, shopping, dining and a marina.

The Port of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista have been partners in this effort to create the largest waterfront development opportunity on the West Coast.

Chula Vista HarborFest

The central portion of the Chula Vista Bayfront is where most of the commercial density will be placed, thus allowing for parks, habitat and low-intensity development. This area can accommodate up to 2,850 hotel rooms, with the majority contained in a resort hotel and convention center. The resort hotel and convention center will also include up to approximately 100,000 square feet of restaurant space, 20,000 square feet of retail space and 415,000 square feet of conference center space. Negotiations are currently in process for the resort hotel and conference center.

Additional uses include: • 200,000 square feet of cultural/retail uses • 100,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial recreation/marine-related office uses • 1,100 – 3,000 space parking garage • 225,000 square feet of visitor-serving retail and marina support Future development opportunities include additional retail, industrial business uses, office and open space.

A few ways we are making environmental stewardship a priority include: WILDLIFE AND HABITAT AREAS – Defined habitat buffer zones and/or fencing requirements to protect wildlife refuges, with landscaping and vegetation guidelines for sensitive areas.

ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS – Minimum 50% reduction in annual energy use relative to established state or national standards and a requirement to meet the City of Chula Vista’s higher standards for energy efficiency.

BUILDING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS – Provisions related to maximum height and occupancy; window and structural designs to reduce bird strikes and bird disorientation; and lighting design to reduce impacts on wildlife.

Chula Vista Bayside Park

Additionally, development of the 100-acre northern portion of the Chula Vista Bayfront will focus on lower-scale, environmentally sensitive and environmentally themed uses. Approved uses include a large ecological buffer, an RV Park, a 21-acre signature park, a bike path and pedestrian trails and open space areas.

Public & Community Investment A development of this size also requires significant public infrastructure, including everything from curbs and gutters to streetlights and sewer pipes.

We want developers to understand that there’s a plan not only to BUILD the infrastructure, but to PAY for it.

Our infrastructure financing plans have also been approved and are ready to accompany private sector development. Our most recently completed infrastructure project was the H Street Extension, an $8.2 million project completed on time and within budget.

A primary function of the Port is to ensure public access to the Bay and promote a vibrant and active waterfront. When completed, more than half of the total project area will be dedicated to the public realm– including: parks, open space, habitat restoration/preservation, roadways, promenades, bikeways and water areas.

Beautification is another focus for the Chula Vista Bayfront. We recently installed a new monument in Chula Vista Bayfront Park that honors the history of the former South Bay Power Plant. Titled “Powering the Arts,” the 25-foothigh structure is partially comprised of artifacts salvaged from the site of the former plant. Artist and Chula Vista native Michael Leaf created the monument with steel components.

Integrated Planning at the Port of San Diego:

FIVE DIFFERENT CITIES, A 50 YEAR VISION, ONE BAY

The Port of San Diego has been conducting an Integrated Planning initiative that spans nearly 6,000 acres of land and water in order to update the Port Master Plan and guide the future of the waterfront. The goal of this process is to set a blueprint for development along the entirety of San Diego Bay. This will create certainty for developers and other community members by streamlining the process for how future projects will fulfill public goals.

The Port of San Diego’s Integrated Planning Project has been recognized as innovative, forward-thinking and inclusive, with awards from professional planning, environmental, public affairs and architectural organizations. The Port is more than halfway through the five-year planning process, which has included a robust public outreach process and publishing of a final vision titled “One Bay, Rich Diversity” which outlines our vision and planning principles, and 2015 framework report that will help ensure San Diego Bay is a central environmental, economic and recreational resource, while reinforcing the differences in character and culture in our five Port cities: Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach, National City and San Diego.

During this process, the Port remains open for business. Everything we have achieved in Integrated Planning informs our ongoing planning for the multiple development projects in the pipeline. And we have created a special policy to guide how we review projects as the plan is finalized.

Ultimately, the Integrated Planning process and resulting Port Master Plan Update will ensure the long-term development of San Diego’s waterfront enhances the rich diversity of the region.

CITY O F SANTE E

Santee, California Located just 18 miles (29 km) east of downtown San Diego, the Santee is a prosperous young suburban community of 56,700 population offering unique opportunities for future growth.

WHAT MAKES SANTEE UNIQUE?

Soon after the city’s incorporation in 1980, the city leaders created a “smart growth” vision for the city’s downtown area. They adopted the Santee Town Center Specific Plan – a “mixed-use” master plan for 700 acres (283 ha) in the heart of Santee integrating commercial, residential and civic uses.

They saw the need for bringing retail, business and residents closer together in a community-based lifestyle.

Today, just over 30 years later, there remains over 100 acres (40.5 ha) owned by the County of San Diego, slated for future sale and development for office, commercial and residential uses. This property is situated along the scenic San Diego River, in Santee’s downtown core. There is also a 13-acre (5.3 ha) downtown site slated for sale by the Santee School District. These sites present a rare opportunity to shape the downtown of a thriving young community in Southern California.

22

The centerpiece of the Santee Town Center area is the Santee Trolley Square shopping center, comprising 500,000 square feet (46,450 m2) of restaurants and national chains stores such as Target, Barnes and Noble, DSW, Old Navy and Bed Bath & Beyond. There is also a power center anchored by Costco, Walmart and Home Depot. The 5-mile (8 km) radius market area has over 260,000 population REGIONAL ACCESS

Accessibility is a key attribute for Santee, with direct freeway access to three regional freeways, and quick access to the Interstate 8 freeway traversing the region. From Santee, it is only 20 minutes to downtown San Diego, or to the beaches of La Jolla, or the “silicon valley” businesses of Sorrento Valley.

Santee is also served by the San Diego Trolley, the regional light-rail system that links the Santee Trolley Square shopping center to San Diego State University, Mission Valley, downtown San Diego and the San Diego Convention Center.

Mixed uses, transit services and pedestrian orientation are just a few of the smart growth practices within the Town Center area and throughout the community.

M I P I M 2017

Santee is home to the world-renowned Santee Lakes Reclamation Facility which produces 2 million gallons (7,570,823 liters) of reclaimed water each day. Almost half of this valuable resource is used to water Santee’s parks, downtown fountains, tree-lined medians, and street landscaping, through an expansive network of reclaimed water pipes, and for sweeping the streets as well. The seven man-made lakes that comprise the beautiful Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve also use this precious resource of reclaimed water. A state-of-the-art water purification facility is underway which is slated to provide potable water resources for future needs.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

In the past five years, HD Supply opened offices adjacent to Santee Trolley Square, followed by San Diego Christian College, a 4-year private accredited college, and ParcOne Santee, featuring 172 LEED-inspired apartments – all walking distance to the San Diego Trolley. Within that same block, plans have been approved for a 112,500 square foot (10,452 m2) Karl Strauss Brewery headquarters facility with brewery operations, tasting room, restaurant and event center. City officials are also pursuing plans to acquire property next to the Karl Strauss Brewery for a future multi-plex theater.

Another economic driver is local tourism which generates over 1 million visitors annually locally.

CITY O F SANTE E

Santee has developed a vibrant and stable local economy with a balance of retail, commercial, and residential uses in the downtown core, complemented by industrial business parks serving primarily advanced manufacturing and machining businesses. The City recently invested over $24 million to upgrade Prospect Avenue industrial corridor. This corridor is adjacent to one of the County’s busiest general aviation airports, which is also undergoing redevelopment and expansion.

Santee at a Glance • Population of 56,700, with a 4.7% growth over the past five years. Families comprise 72% of households – the highest percentage in the region.

• The 2015 median household income is $79,865 – the 7th highest median income among cities in San Diego County.

• Single-family homes comprise 64% of housing stock with 71% of the homes owner-occupied – among the highest percentages in the region.

• 2016 median price for single-family homes in Santee was $465,000 – a 6.1% Increase over 2015, compared to the 2016 median home price for San Diego County of $539,000.

• The median age of residents in Santee is 38.7 years old, with 22% under 18 years, and 14% 65 and older.

Almost one-third of the population is under 25 years of age.

CITY O F SANTE E

• Santee is a family-based community with award-winning schools, a stable local economy and one of the lowest crime rates in the region.

In the past year, 22,000 square feet (2,044 m2) of new retail centers have been added, and 108,000 square feet (10,033 m2) of new industrial development is under construction.

A new residential project of 415 homes (Castlerock) is under construction and that is part of close to 1,000 new homes in the “development pipeline,” ranging from affordable townhomes and condominiums to single-family developments to luxury custom homes.

Santee has a total of 154 national chain retailers and restaurants, with 24 national chains added since 2014.

There is less than 3% vacancy for 11 major retail centers in the city, with four centers 100% leased. Total taxable sales in 2014 increased 18.5% over the prior year, with positive trends for other indicators.

1 MILLION VISITORS ANNUALLY

Another economic driver is local tourism which generates over 1 million visitors annually locally. Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve on 194 acres draws 670,000 visitors annually for picnicking, fishing, boating, Recreational Vehicle camping, and for overnight stays in the cabins on the lakes.

on 15 acres in Santee Town Center, draws over 360,000 visitors annually for sports leagues, tournaments, and corporate events, generating over 28,000 hotel room nights annually as well.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

Santee offers a development opportunity unparalleled in the San Diego region: Available land for development within a downtown core, high-profile demographics, high tech potential, and high quality of life.

In addition to future projects such as the Karl Strauss Brewery, the multiplex theater, and additional transitoriented residential development, there remains over 100 acres (40.5 ha) of County-owned property in Santee Town Center, which is slated for future sale and development for office, commercial and residential uses. Additionally, there is also a 13-acre (5.3 ha) downtown site slated for sale by the Santee School District.

Santee has the potential to become a premier business location in San Diego County, providing the right environment for high growth companies.
