The San Diego City Council approved a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop, Chili's restaurant and an Arco AM-PM gas station, following several years of negotiations, according to Arena Group 2000, which holds a master lease of the property.

The reason for the long delay was ironing out naming rights for the 13,000-sf sports arena. Arena Group 2000 agreed to give the city 10% of any deal it reaches for naming rights. Officials for the sports arena operator say two entities are interested in the rights at a cost of between $500,000and $1 million a year.

The 38-acre Sports Arena site is owned by the city, along with a nearby five-acre commercial parcel to the east known as Sports Arena Square. Arena Group 2000's lease on the Sports Arena site will run out in 2017 and its lease on Sports Arena Square expires in 2006.
