Commissioners for the Port of San Diego unanimously agreed to extend an agreement with a group of developers to build Pangaea, a tennis sports complex on Chula Vista’s bayfront affiliated with a yet-to-be-named “elite professional athlete.”During a Tuesday meeting, Port commissioners agreed to enter into an additional two-year exclusive negotiating agreement with the development team, comprised of The Divaris Group of Companies, The McGarey Group, Tucker Sadler Architects and Provident Resources Group. The new agreement comes a week before the initial six-month negotiating agreement lapses.It comes, however, without any additional information on who the elite athlete associated with the Pangaea development is. “Pangaea has secured confidential written confirmation that representatives affiliated with the elite professional athlete remain strongly interested in anchoring a tennis-focused development on the Chula Vista Bayfront,” reads an update from the developer provided to the port.Following the staff update, a handful of South Bay elected officials urged the commissioners to extend the negotiating agreement. The officials included Chula Vista Mayor John McCann, Coronado Mayor John Duncan and Chula Vista Councilmember Jose Preciado.Not all speakers, however, were in favor. Representatives from environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, cautioned commissioners about rushing into an agreement and warned them about the impacts of overdevelopment on the bayfront. “There has been no public outreach, there has been no identification of elite professional athletes,” said Charles Rilli, deputy director of the Sierra Club of San Diego, who worried about the accountability and the impacts that development would have on wildlife and the bay and surrounding marshland.Other speakers said the project catered to higher-income residents and doesn’t offer facilities that the majority of residents can use. Port chair Ann Moore said the opportunity to bring a world-class tennis facility to Chula Vista would be a huge plus to the city and the entire region.
While Moore supported the extension of the contract, the commissioner acknowledged that there are also environmental concerns and questions about what should be built along the bayfront. Moore said the negotiating agreement does nothing to move any project forward; it only gives time to the development team to formalize their plan to present it to the full board.“Complex projects take time to develop,” said Moore. “Opportunities like this do not come around very often. If we scrap the proposal, what would we gain? The community has made it clear that Chula Vista is not only a place where power plants and industrial projects should go.”Moore called on staff to consider the environmental impacts when the development team returns with a completed plan.
