San Diego Arena Provides Case Study of Surplus Land Act

Elinor Eizdi wrote the article “San Diego Arena Provides Case Study of Surplus Land Act” (subscription required) for Law360.

The article delves into how in California local agencies “have long struggled to meet the requirements of the Surplus Land Act while at the same time maximizing use of surplus land and meeting business demands.” As an example, Elinor takes a look at  “the proposed disposition of San Diego's sports arena property in its Midway District." She writes, "After the California Department of Housing and Community Development rejected the city's first review request, the city remedied the deficiencies, presented it a second time and obtained approval.”
